...maybe take its employees along. Last Tuesday, however, the factory's estimated 300 employees, including Cabrera, were called into a meeting and told that Republic would shut down three days later. Cabrera, who received a check that covered Thanksgiving week, says he is still due his final paycheck plus compensation for five weeks of vacation time that he says he's earned this year. But Republic's financial situation and abrupt closure sent tremors through the employee ranks. No one is certain that that final accounting will be done to their satisfaction. And Republic has said nothing to allay those...
...York City has several venues for mid-ice collision: Lasker Rink at Central Park, the Rink at Rockefeller Center, the Pond at Bryant Park and Wollman Rink at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Plus, a couple of new entries: The American Museum of Natural History (West 79th Street and Amsterdam Avenue) has installed the 150-by-80-foot Polar Rink, filled with synthetic ice; it's harder to skate on, but offers a softer landing when you fall. Through Feb. 28, 2009, adults pay $10 and kids $8, including skate rentals. Another newcomer is the Seaport Ice rink at Pier...

Beedle joins Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and, basically, all the movies as one of the minor but undeniable pleasures of the Potter canon. It's a book of meta-fairy tales - fairy tales for people who already live in a fairy-tale world where dragons...
...that album’s unforgettable first track. Two decades and four albums later, the band has hit its nadir. “Chinese Democracy,” their first album of original songs in 17 years, is thoroughly forgettable, neither worth the wait nor the $13 million-plus Axl Rose and company spent on its production. The whole thing is overproduced, every song a too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen kind of affair. Much has been made about the decline of rock at the hands of Pro Tools, but a monkey could have mixed this album better with GarageBand...
