Ladies and Gentlemen, this season there is a battle for your cable television viewing soul on Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. In that prime slot, Showtime and HBO both air veteran shows that tell tales not of good men, but of dark and sometimes evil men; characters who strive for control over others and themselves.

The question now -- six years into their careers -- is whether Crosby possesses an intrinsic, intangible quality that elevates his teams to champions, or if Ovechkin's pure skill will ultimately come to surpass Crosby's early success....

That said, it is arguable whether or not the estimate of 1/5 reduction in monthly energy cost will balance with the initial cost of a solar water heater. Though the solar water heater has greater energy efficiency, the benefits are short-term due to the initial cost....
