For those living in hot and arid climates, maintaining a garden and watering it efficiently and effectively can sometimes be a big problem. Here in Utah, we have 40-43 C days during July and August combined with the dry desert air. And increasingly like other places around the world, we are suffering from drought and water shortages, making water conservation more and more important. Every day I see ads on TV asking us to conserve water, and rightly so with such a precious, commonly overlooked commodity....

Life is full of incidents. Well, that goes without saying. But some of those incidents are rather special, even memorable. And some of those memorable incidents actually occur on holidays. And so it was this past Monday, Memorial Day of 2009.

This coming June will mark the end, for me and my wife Gwen, of the third year in our new home in League City, Texas. By the way, League City was on the 2007 list of the Hundred Best Small Towns in America. No fooling. And our modest little...

Now I confess I haven't read the whole article, so for all I know this may have been covered, but the proof of this is laughably easy.

Take an integer like, oh I dunno, say 467. Historically this notation means 400+60+7. So any integer can be written as 10^na+ 10^{n-1}b+10^{n-2}c + \cdots n.
