N.C. Symphony to take a pay cut

Posted: 7:54 a.m. today

For the second time in a year, the musicians union representing players in the North Carolina Symphony agreed to a pay cut to help with the organization's financial picture.

Most members will see their pay cut 15 percent over the next two fiscal years as the symphony attempts to dig out of the hole left by the recession.

Conductor Grant Llewellyn agreed to a 10 percent cut, the symphony said.

Musicians saw their pay cut 17 percent in July 2009 after the organization's budget was cut from from $14.1 million to $11.9 million, according to the Director of Communications Jeannie Mellinger.

David Worters, president and CEO of the symphony, took a 30 percent pay cut last year.

How does this suck for you? Three unions getting beat down? I'd think you'd be celebrating the end of socialism.

What sucks is that we use the word "suck" as a derogatory term. ...things that are *wonderful* should suck. How can we get more women interested in (see banana image above) if we refer to it as an insult? We're linguistically shooting ourselves in the foot here.

Consider the following examples, and spread the word on this:

"The symphony sucked!" "Christmas sucked!" "That pay raise and making partner blows!"

We need to stick together on this.

No, what I am eluding to is that LT is a pig and most guys (I'd like to include myself in that group) are not pigs. Posting images of women in compromising positions and the like is a far cry of paying and having (not proven yet) sex with a minor is well, not exactly the same thing...am I wrong here?

I have a question.

Does a man, who lets say is in his 40's, 50's 60's and posts sexy pics of barely legal girls, ever think of his daughters - who may be that age? I mean, most men with daughters, that I know, would go bonkers if some guy posted a risque pic of his daughter, or a video of her "eating" a bananna...or if his young daughter dated a much older man...I don't get it.

That's not a bash on your either, Stalker. I'm just really curious if a man with a young daughter ever thinks of that.

I think the best way to get girls to keep their legs together is to let them understand just how the male mind works.

Yeah, I would think someone posting a picture of barely legal girls and having a daughter say that age would be a "pig"...good thing my daughter is 31.;)

But, then again you weren't bashing on me eh, T?:rolleyes:

...That's not going to happen anytime soon. Women and men are just on two different frequencies and I doubt men understand enough about ourselves to sit down and explain it to women.

The best best is to teach your kids about sex and self respect...Also, try not to be so Puritan about it and realize that your kids are probably having sex if they're old enough and attractive enough to the opposite sex.
