Within a few years after the death of Charles IV, who was also without a male heir, progress toward national unification was halted, and for more than a century France was rent by warfare and internal upheaval.

 NASA - Dark Energy Changes the Universe
Probing dark energy, the energy in empty space causing the expanding universe to accelerate, calls for accurately measuring how that expansion rate is increasing with time.
Cosmologists believe about 70 percent of the universe consists of dark energy, 25 percent is dark matter, and only four percent normal matter (the stuff that stars, planets and people are made of).
Hubble observations suggest the dark energy may be Einstein's cosmological constant, an energy percolating out of the vacuum of the space between galaxies.

Now it is fifteen years later and Meta-Rikana is once again under attack, this time by the Four Lords of Havoc who must break the four seals to release their ancient god, Ansla-Sax.
Its only relevance is that Dark discovers that he can change from Rusie to Dark at will and does not need the kiss of the virgin.
It seems that Dark was closely related to all the Lords of Havoc fifteen years ago, all except for Abigail that is. The battle rages as Abigaile sends an army of the undead lead by a terrifying Cyclopes with a dark power of its own.

Despite Dark Water's relatively overt similarities to a number of other filmic works, this is one of director Hideo Nakata's most successful films--at least as good as his famed Ringu (1998), if not better.
Dark Water has the elevator and a structure for which you'll only realize the importance near the end of the film.
Dark Water also succeeds because the story is kept relatively simple and straightforward.

 The Dark Sucker Theory page
Every year, bright and eager young physics students are being misled by "scientific" dogma conspirators who claim that light, not darkness, is the stuff that moves through the universe carrying energy.
This removal of intrinsic darkness is an action-at-a-distance; the forces that cause this are not well understood, but we do know that this action propagates at the speed of light (or should I say, the speed of dark) from the dark sucker to the incident surface.
If dark is being drawn away from the host material, it will act like a small rocket engine — the hot exhaust gasses (or darkness) moving in one direction will drive the rocket vehicle (or host material) in the other.

 George Harrison: The Dark Horse Years (1976-1992) (2004)
George Harrison: The Dark Horse Years appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
I decided not to award a grade to the extras of Dark Horse Years, mostly because the DVD itself is basically a supplement.
The material seems fairly erratic, as George’s Dark Horse output varied from excellent to quite forgettable, but overall the set includes a lot of good work.

Because this age (about 12 billion years old) is inconsistent with the expansion age for a flat universe (only about 9 billion years old), Krauss and Chaboyer came to the conclusion that the universe is expanding more quickly now than it did in the past.

It's inclusion in The Dark Horse Years is a necessity from a historical perspective, but from an artistic perspective this is a poor representation of the genius of this former Beatle.
Here Harrison is joined by his collaborator of 25 years, Eric Clapton, and a crack band to perform a wealth of Harrison originals from both his solo and Beatles career.
The collection Dark Years gathers the lesser known albums from the late part of Harrison's career, merges them with bonus recordings, liner notes, and DVD footage to enhance and solidify his legacy.

 The Dark Horse Years Review
In the new year, we celebrated George’s Grammy award for the instrumental “Marwa Blues” from his Brainwashed album, and will be celebrating again this month with his long overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rejected by Warner Brothers (the distributor for Dark Horse) in its original form, the album was reworked, dropping four songs and adding replacements, including the absolutely scathing opener “Blood From A Clone” in response to what George no doubt considered a major slap in the face.
The point is, these and several other stray tracks might better have been compiled on to a “bonus disc” for inclusion in the box, instead of scattering the bonus tracks and thereby leaving the album releases in their original context.

 George Harrison: The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992 [DVD] - PopMatters Music Review
Earlier this year, all of the albums George Harrison released through his own Dark Horse label were reissued, both individually and in a big ol' box set entitled The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992.
The documentary on the Dark Horse label consists predominantly of interviews done with Harrison during the Cloud Nine era, i.e., the late '80s, and tells very little about the actual history of the label.
A more tragic omission, however, is "All Those Years Ago", George's tribute to his former bandmate, the late John Lennon; a staple of MTV's early years, it may consist solely of old footage of the Fab Four, but it's extremely touching and its exclusion is downright painful.

 FAME Review: George Harrison - The Dark Horse Years, 1976-1992
Thirty-five years after The Beatles broke up we can say for sure that none of the music made by any Beatle alone can be compared to the quality of what they did together.
By the time Dark Horse, George's record label, started releasing his records, all the critics were comparing any solo Beatle release to their last albums together, and writing about the next expected possible reunion that never happened.
All the songs in these records are well-written, but most of them are not more than a documentation of the pop songs of their time.

In addition to subverting the image of France so carefully burnished for more than 30 years by Vichy apologists, Paxton also undermined the claims that these four “dark years” represented a rupture or parenthesis in French history.
There were the borders created by the Germans occupiers, the borders previously established by French administrators, and the unofficial yet no less imposing borders wrought by time and geography such as the borders between town and country, Protestant and Catholic, even northerner and southerner.
The experience of the northern departments, occupied twice by the Germans in less than forty years, was dramatically different from the southern departments, less exposed to the howling of history.
