Q: gran PAT-NT AGE T PATENTEU JUH29 19m SHEET 2 [1F 2 INVENTOR EDWARD.E.DICKEY PATlNT AGENT SAFETY FENCE SUPPORT COLUMN This invention relates to a telescopic column for the erection of a temporary safety fence for use in buildings under construction such as office buildings and high rise apartments and the like. Modern construction techniques, particularly those commonly employed in high rise apartment and office building construction require that safety fences be erected around the exterior of all uncompleted floors for two reasons. In the first place, personal safety requires the erection of at least a single rail at about waist height around the exterior of such uncompleted floors. Secondly, it is also necessary that a retaining board is erected at floor level so as to prevent the accidental dislodgment of articles which may be lying loose on the floor, which would otherwise cause asubstantial safety hazard to workmen on the floors below and around the construction site. In some cases, a third feature is also required namely the erection of a wind barrier such as a plastic tarpaulin or the like so as to avoid freezing temperatures which would otherwise damage the concrete, and also for personal comfort. The general practice in erection of such safety fences involves the use of lengths of 2 by 4 lumber cut to approximately the spacing between the floor and ceiling, and wedged into place in any expedient manner. One or more horizontal rails is commonly then nailed to such vertical pieces of lumber to construct a crude fence. In practice it is found that the wedging of such vertical pieces of lumber can never be made completely secure and the lumber will rapidly dry out, being exposed to very severe weathering, and will becomeloose and some time blow away altogether causing an additional hazard to persons standing below. The same thing can occur merely because the concrete itself dries out and will shrink very slightly thereby causing such vertical pieces of lumber to become loose. BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION Applicants invention is directed in general to providing a vertical post or column for such a safety fence, having a telescopic lower end portion provided with compressible friction pats at each end, and jacking means on the lower part of the column for extending the lower end so as to compress such frictional pads and stress the same between the floor and ceiling, thereby holding the column firmly in position. The jacking means incorporates catches mounted on mounting flanges on the column and operated by a lever mounted on the flanges and the catches engage notches on the lower end portion. Rail support means are provided on the column for supporting safety rails between adjacent column and means may also be provided at the lower end of the column for attachment of a retaining board thereto. Preferably, the means for extending the column should be capable of withstanding considerable abuse, and should continue to function satisfactorily in the presence of cement particles wood shaving, dust and other contaminating material. Preferably, it is also found desirable that the column extending means should be capable of being operated by one man standing erect and holding the column in position until both the floor and the ceiling are engaged. A further and related feature is the provision of means for attachment of weather proofing such as a plastic tarpaulin or the like. The foregoing and other advantages will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention which is given here by way of example only with reference to the following drawings in which like reference devices refer to like parts thereof throughout the various views and diagrams and in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective illustration of a corner of a building; under construction showing portions of a floor and a ceiling, and showing a post or column according to the invention extended therebetween; FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective illustration of the column shown in FIG. 1, partially cut away and foreshortened, and showing the column extending means exploded; FIG. 3 is a greatly enlarged side elevational view of the lower portion of the column shown in FIG. 2, partly sectioned, and showing portions of the column extending means in phantom form, and FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of a further embodiment. Referring now to FIG. 1 it will be seen that the invention is shown in use in a partially completed building, typically a high rise apartment or office building, the portion illustrated comprising a poured concrete floor F and a poured concrete ceiling C and a building column indicated as B. These items are shown with the concrete forms or moulds removed, but at a stage in the construction prior to the completion of the outside walls. During this stage of construction, the poured concrete will gradually dry out, and work proceeds simultaneously upon the completion of that particular floor of the building. It is during this stage of construction that it is essential, and is in fact required by building regulations in most areas, that a safety fence be erected around the exterior of the floor, together with a safety board or so called foot board for the purposes described above. In this case, the safety fence is shown as being built up of lengths of lumber, in this case, 2 by 4 rails indicated as R and the foot board comprises a l by 12 plank P additionally, in the winter months, there is usually provided a plastic sheet or tarpaulin indicated as T preferably extending substantially between the floor F and the ceiling C to both protect workmen from the weather, and also to minimize damage to the concrete while the same is drying out. The invention will be seen in greater detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, and will be seen to comprise a hollow rectangular tubular column member 10 and telescoping within it, an inner T- shaped stem member 11. At the upper end of column 10 is provided a rectangular steel plate 12 and a similar rectangular steel plate 13 is provided at the lower end of support member 11. A resilient deformable friction pad 14 is fastened, preferably by suitable adhesive means to the surfaces of plates 12 and 13, and the exposed surfaces of frictional pads 14 define frictional wear resistant surfaces for contacting and engaging the surfaces of floor F and ceiling C as shown in FIG. 1. In this preferred embodiment, frictional members 14 are formed of thick rubber sheets, preferably of the order of onehalf inch in thickness which is relatively hard, but is capable of being compressed when subjected to substantial clamping pressure In order to support rails R, column I0 is provided with, ac cording to this preferred embodiment, rail supporting and attachment means such as the rectangular bracket members 16 spaced one above the other on column 10, a distance apart from one another appropriate to the spacing of rails R apart from one another so as to provide a reasonably secure fence. Preferably, support means 16 are dimensioned so as to be able to receive overlapping ends of two such rails R lying one above the other so as to permit the erection of a continuous fence, and rail attachment means in the form of holes 17 are formed through bracket 16 for nailing of rails R securely in position. In order to secure the plank P in position, the retaining flange member 18 is welded to lower plate 13, preferably arranged on the opposite sides of column 10 with respect to the location of brackets 16, and is also preferably provided with one or more holes 19 for nailing plank P securely in position. Since in the case pf planks P it is essential that they should form a continuous foot board or floor edging along the floor F around the entire extent of the building, it is not possible to arrange planks P overlapping one above the other. Accordingly, planks P can simply be overlapped in between any two such columns Ill and nailed together, or alternatively, the flange ltl can be spaced from the support member 1 I a distance equal to the thickness of two such planks P whereby to permit the same to be overlapped side-by-side. It will be noted that in any event the spacing of flange 18 from support member 11 should be equal to at least the thickness of plank P together with sufficient room to permit the column to move freely up and down on support member 11. In order to attach the tarpaulin T, any suitable attachment means may be provided such as the two rings 20, one of them being attached at the upper end of column 10 and the other of them attached to flange l8 and bottom plate 13. Obviously, if desired, intermediate rings 20 could also be arranged along column 10 if it should be necessary. As it has been noted above, the invention is utilized by ex tending the column 10 upwardly until the same is clamped firmly between the ceiling C and the floor F. Obviously, various mechanisms would be capable of achieving this movement, but in the case of the presently preferred embodiment, the mechanism utilized is essentially the same as the mechanism used in the conventional automobile jack. This mechanism is shown schematically in FIG. 3. It is believed that the various types of mechanisms of this general nature will be well known, and many examples can be found in issued patents and in published literature and the precise details do not require explanation. in general terms, this mechanism comprises a series of angled notches 21 having horizontal lower portions 22, formed along the T-shaped stern portion of support member 11. A pair of support flanges 23 are welded to column 10, and within flanges 23 are provided upper catch member 24 pivotally mounted at 25 and lower catch member 26 on the arcuately shaped arm 27 pivoted at 28 on lever arm member 29. Arm member 29 is itself pivoted at 30 to plates 23, and extends outwardly therefrom and defines a socket 31 adapted to receive a suitable lever member 32 therein. Catch 24 is linked to arm 27 by means of spring 33. Arm 27 may be disengaged, so as to permit downward movement by means of bracket member 34 pivoted at 35. it is believed that the foregoing details of the jack mechanism require no further description being essentially familiar and well known to persons skilled in the art. it will be noted the lever member 32 is provided with a flattened plate 36 which is angled upwardly and bent backwardly as at 37. The design of this member is such that it enables the operator to operate it by his foot, either when jacking the column 10 up or when lowering the same, thereby leaving both his hands free for holding the column 10 during these operations. Various modifications will suggest themselves to persons skilled in the art. Thus for example, it may be desirable to provide a column 10 of adjustable lengths in order to accommodate buildings of varying dimensions between the floor F and ceiling C. Obviously the time spent in erecting and fastening the various members 10 in position can be somewhat reduced, if the length of the column 10 is adjusted by means such as shown in F164 consisting simply of an interior rectangular stub portion 38 having a series of spaced holes 39 therein. The upper portion of column 10 is provided with a locking hole 40 and a locking pin 41 whereby the length of column 10 can be adjusted so as to be only slightly less than the spacing between floor F and ceiling C thereby reducing the amount of time spent in jacking up the column 10 into position to a minimum. The operation of the invention scarcely requires detailed description. The column 10 is first placed into position by a workman, who can stand holding the column 10 with both hands in its vertical position, with the lower frictional pad 14 in contact with floor F, and the upper frictional pad 14 spaced somewhat below the ceiling C. The operator then places his foot on the plate 36, and operates the lever portion 31 of the jacking assembly downwardly and upwardly in well-known manner, thereby elevating the column 10 and upper plate member 12 and frictional pad 14 until the upper frictional surface 15 contacts the ceiling C. At this point, it would be found that in the majority of cases, the level member 31 of the jacking mechanism will be operated another one or two times sufficient to produce substantial deformation of upper and lower pads 14, by compressing the same against ceiling C and floor F respectively, after which the lever member 32 can be removed from socket 31, and the next such column 10 may be erected around the edge of the building. After the entire complement of columns 10 have been erected in position, the rails R are then introduced into support brackets 16 and fastened into position by nailing through holes 17 thereby providing a fence. The foot boards indicated as P are then placed in position and if necessary fastened by nail through holes 19. In order to remove the column 10, it is merely necessary to move the bracket member 35 so as to change the operation of the jacking mechanism from upward to downward movement, and introduce lever 32 into socket 31. The operator will then hold the column 10 and place his foot on plate 36 and underneath the overlapping member 37. He will then operate the lever 32 in the opposite manner moving it upwardly and downwardly thereby lowering column 10 and releasing the pads 14 from engagement after which the column 10 may be removed by hand. Obviously, certain functions of the invention can be achieved, although without the simplicity of the above-noted operation, by substituting for the notched jacking mechanism described above, a rotary-threaded movement, or possibly even a toggle clamp system. However, the disadvantage of using a threaded action will be very considerable, particularly when it is realized that the threads will quickly become clogged with concrete and dust particles, and furthermore, the rotary operation necessary to achieve upward or downward movement will normally be performed with the hands, thereby requiring not one but two operators to erect each column 10. On the other hand, a toggle clamp system or a lazy tongs type of action will be relatively difficult to adjust for different spacings between floor and ceiling in any particular building. This latter disadvantage is particularly important when it is borne in mind that building hardware of this type is almost invariably obtained on a rental basis by the contractor for a certain number of weeks after which it is returned to the owner for use in another building. Thus, it is necessary that this type of hardware be adaptable to a fairly wide variety of buildings, in order that its cost may be amortized over a reasonable working life, rather than being custom made for one particular building and then discarded. in addition, in order to avoid undesirable stresses between the floor and ceiling, which might be especially harmful where the concrete is incompletely cured, it is desirable that the resilient friction pads 14 shall together be compressible and deformable to an amount equal to not less than about one increment of movement of the jacking mechanism and not more than about two such increments. The foregoing description of a preferred embodiment of the invention is given here by way of example. It is not intended that the invention shall be regarded as limited to any of the specific features described, but comprehends all such variations thereof as come within the scope of the appended claims. What I claim is: 1. An extendable support column device for erecting a safety fence between a floor and ceiling of a partially completed building, and comprising: a column portion of hollow tubular construction of a length less than the average minimum spacing between floor and ceiling and having upper and lower ends; bearing plate means on said upper end of said column portion; a telescoping extension member extending up a portion of the interior of said column portion from said lower end and having a free end adapted to extend therefrom; bearing plate means on said free end of said extension member; a series of equally spaced notches formed in said extension member along a major portion at least of its length; support flange means attached to said column portion at said lower end thereof; catch means movably mounted on said flange means and engageable with said notches in said extension member; lever means movably mounted on said flange means and connected with said catch means to operate same and sequentially engage said notches to procure progressive equal incremental movement of said extension means; resilient compressible friction pad means on said bearing plate means adapted to be compressed against said floor and ceiling, and rail attachment bracket means fastened to said column portion, and dimensioned to receive a fence rail therein for construction of said safety fence. 2.

Mozilla's New Mobile Browser, Fennec, Makes Big Gains

Mozilla's new browser is cranking up its performance impressively
Firefox certainly
looks geared to make impressive gains
in the
PC browser marketshare war
. However, with cell phones, smart phones, and other mobile devices being one of the
hottest market segments right now
, Firefox is serious in its belief that in order to truly become a superpower it must make inroads in these markets.
The Mozilla Mobile initiative first was announced last October, and after lots of hard work has already
reached a functional prototype stage
. The new pre-alpha build codenamed Fennec was presented by Mozilla Mobile director Jay Sullivan, who is gearing up for the August 2008 first alpha build.
Originally it would have been a laughable proposition to consider Firefox on a cell phone. The browser, notorious for its memory bloat, seemed an unlikely candidate. However, with
Firefox 3 shaping up to be perhaps the leanest next generation browser
memorywise, Firefox now certainly seems a viable contender. Thanks to
, other memory optimizations, and Javascript speed improvements, the new face of Firefox is a mobile ready one.
The difference between Fennec and MicroB, the early browser, produced an easily noticeable speed difference. Typically such differences are more subtle, but with Fennec it was pronounced; the new browser is fast!
And the Fennec developers aren't just focused on developing a top speed and memory performer. They also are equipping the browser with an intuitive interface, including touch capabilities, which will make it a natural fit to the mobile environment. The Fennec browser was based on one of Mozilla's touchscreen mobile interface proposals.
Fennec is not ready for an alpha release yet as many of Firefox's main features need to be added or implemented still. However it already supports useful inertial scrolling and a single click bookmark system similar to that of Firefox 3. Support for Mozilla's new AwesomeBar technology will eventually be added, but is not present currently.
"The current build you've got is really just a starting point to give us a framework to start experimenting, doing performance tests, etc.," says Sullivan, "It's a true peek under the hood, and you're able to get that peek because of the unique level of openness we have at Mozilla."
He continues, "Our goal on mobile is to embody the principles that have made Firefox so successful on the desktop, but with the recognition that mobile is different—not so much in that it presents some constraints, but in that it enables new types of experiences, and people's interaction with these devices are different than when they're sitting at their desks. Web compatibility, security, performance, support for rich internet apps will all be key."
"With existing mobile browsers, it's hard to do basic things like enter URLs, navigate around rich pages, switch between multiple pages, and in general the browser is in a silo separate from the rest of what the phone can do," Sullivan explains, "We're doing some creative thinking about how to make it easier to get to the content you care about, easier to navigate within those pages, easier to seamlessly move between your PC and your phone."
The browser is written with XUL, an XML based language, making it easy to modify and extend the browser by modifying its .xul, .js, and .css files. The .js file will allow more complex java script extensions, and the system should support full extensions capability similar to Firefox on the PC. New add-ons are being developed for the browser.
Developers can even use a XULRunner runtime with XML and JavaScript to create platform-neutral mobile applications, a valuable asset. Mozilla developer Brad Lassey has shown one such runtime, Maemo and has used it to run PC applications in XUL on Nokia devices. Lassey has even began to have success runnign XULRunner on Windows Mobile 6, opening a whole new world of compatibility.
Says Sullivan, "To build a great mobile app today, developers need to target one or more native platforms; that limits their reach right out of the box. Then, they need to get those apps in users' hands. It's a nightmare. So, just like we did on the desktop, we need to make the Web a viable platform to develop rich applications for mobile. That's what we're doing. With full AJAX support, SQLite, and access to device capabilities from JavaScript, we're going to unleash a lot of creativity."

Jesus portrait 521. (photo credit:Fresno Bee/MCT)
Just in time for Christmas, the world was treated last week to the latest offense from the Palestinians with the declaration by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that Jesus was a Palestinian.Abbas's offensive Christmas greeting called Jesus "a Palestinian messenger who would become a guiding light for millions around the world," and suggested Israel was to blame for the exodus of Christians from the Holy Land. With a reference to Luke 23:34, Israel's foreign ministry spokesman noted, "He should have read the Gospels before uttering such offensive nonsense, but we will forgive him because he doesn't know what he's doing," adding that Abbas's remarks are an "outrageous rewriting of Christian history."I'm no theologian and, as an Orthodox Jew, certainly no expert in Christianity or the Gospels. However, I know a dangerous and offensive ambush on both Judaism and Christianity when I see it, and when those called Palestinians today erase and rewrite whole sections of scripture that are the foundation of Judaism and Christianity, it must be called what it is: a dangerous lie that is a hybrid between Palestinian nationalism and the ultimate Islamic replacement theology.There are many, many examples of this, but one of the best is when Palestinians say (often) that there was never a Temple on the Temple Mount, the focal point of biblical Jerusalem whose central architectural landmark was destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed again in the year 70 CE, and replaced by two mosques hundreds of years later as if to spread the dominance of Islam over Jerusalem, which is not even mentioned in the Koran, as an Islamic city.Of course, any Jew or Christian knows that the Temple was a reality, and the denial of its very existence also denies, literally, those of us who share so much in common the foundation of our respective faiths. This is one egregious example, but one doesn't have to look to hard to find plenty more, the same way one doesn't have to dig too deep in Jerusalem to find archeological remains, evidence of the reality we know from the Bible.Of course, denying the underpinnings of Judaism and Christianity are no problem in Palestinian society, but stating the inconvenient truth that Islam is the main threat to both, particularly to Christians living among Muslims and the primary cause for the Christian exodus, would be a PC no-no.For instance, Abbas also mentioned Palestinians "trapped under siege" in Gaza, "who are prevented from worshiping in Bethlehem," conveniently overlooking that it's his good friends from Hamas who control Gaza and who make life for Christians there a living hell.The same as among Christians in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iran and the list goes on.Why do I care? Why write this? It's simple: Israel is the birthplace of both Judaism and Christianity. Jews and Christians have a common bond that's based biblically, and has never been more important.True, thousands of years of history from Jesus' time until the past century have displayed a less enlightened, less kind and certainly not a gentle approach by what's loosely referred to as "the church" to Jewish neighbors and Judaism as a whole.But the awakening in the past century of Christians who understand the biblical injunction to bless Israel, and who know that Israel's rebirth is fulfillment of prophecy, needs to be met with open arms by Jews, and reciprocated. So when a Palestinian leader refers to Jesus as a Palestinian, it's an affront to the foundation of Christianity, making one want to imagine Jesus dying not on a Roman cross, but with a suicide belt packed with explosives at a 2,000-yearold Jerusalem café, and must be challenged at every turn.The name "Palestine" in modern usage initiated with the League of Nations and the British. Native residents of what's Israel today were referred to as "Palestinian," but the term was used by the British to refer to Jews.My father, for instance, born in Haifa, was a "Palestinian." Only decades after Israeli independence when Jews (and what's grown into about 1.5 million Arabs) became Israeli, did the term "Palestinian" morph to refer to Arabs.There is ample historical documentation to prove that while there were indigenous Arabs in Israel as well, Arab migration to Israel exploded as the land flourished with Jews returning from exile and corresponding economic opportunities, drawing many whose origins are still unmistakable by their names as being from Egypt or Syria, and that are still evident today. But while Jews returned en masse, fulfilling prophecy, there was always an unbreakable and majority Jewish presence in the land.So while there is legitimate evidence to show that many of today's "Palestinians" are in fact not indigenous to Israel, and that "Palestinian" nationalism was born more as a way to delegitimize and destroy Israel, I for one understand that there is a reality on the ground that must be dealt with today, and am all for coexistence and peace, if the latter is even possible.However, by claiming Jesus was a Palestinian, what Abbas has actually accomplished is to debunked the myth of a "Palestinian people" as the term is abused today; everyone knows Jesus was a Jew. The latest "Palestinian" lie underscores the reality that if Jesus were a "Palestinian" it is the indigenous Jews who have the rightful claim to Israel, going back to those lived in here in Jesus' time, with its center in Jerusalem established by the Jewish King David 3,000 years ago, in the Land God promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob long before that, and documented in the Bible.But those who read and understand scripture, and don't try to erase and rewrite it, knew that already. I think I'm starting to like today's "Palestinian" lies and rhetoric.The author is the director of Heart to Heart, a virtual blood donation program to support Israel's blood services.

A South Dakota cowboy had a strong showing in the bareback riding event at the Badlands Circuit Finals Rodeo in North Dakota on Friday.
Jet Price of Buffalo went first and put up an 86 out of 100, then watched as the rest of the field at Minot's All Seasons Arena tried - and failed - to top it.
Bareback riders are scored on their ability to ride a bucking horse and the horse's bucking strength. Riders may use only one hand.
Price says his horse Crystalyx ran exactly like he anticipated he would, taking off quickly to the right before making his way straight down the arena.
Action resumes at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night.

RT @JimDayTV: More bad news: Masset will start season on DL #reds
Relievers are dropping like flies... only one of the "M Men" left. We should look to encase Marshall in a large bubble until at least the end of ST.
I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
I think this is a precaution. Since becoming a Red, he has almost always been great as long as he doesn't pitch in April.
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
Great or healthy? I want to make sure I understand. Of course I hope he is healthy and pitches lights out as long as he is on the team. But he has been frustrating to this fan. Perhaps I bought into the hype about "if he can put it altogether he has great stuff" and have too high of expectations.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
Does somebody want to set up a poll to decide which RZer gets the last bullpen spot?
"I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn't. And that's what makes it great." - Joe Posnanski
He was lights out in 2009, Masset.
Since then, he's been frustrating.
He does have very good stuff and can be terrific in stretches.
I was surprised the Reds gave him a two-year deal this off-season.
Maybe when he comes back, he'll be the Masset of 2009 again. Hope so.
Maybe he's a 'slow starter' (if that actually exists), but he has been far from frustrating outside of April. Look at the splits . . .
Nick Masset as a Red by month:
Code:W L W-L% ERA IP H ER BB SO WHIP April 3 4 .429 5.77 34.1 38 22 23 36 1.777 May 2 2 .500 2.60 34.2 30 10 13 45 1.240 June 3 0 1.000 2.72 36.1 28 11 13 25 1.128 July 0 1 .000 2.72 39.2 37 12 14 37 1.286 August 2 2 .500 2.84 57.0 52 18 17 47 1.211 Sept 3 2 .600 2.11 38.1 28 9 13 38 1.070

Is this really a big deal? Correct me if I am wrong, but won't the Reds be able to retro-activate to the last time he threw in a Major League spring training game? They can use him in minor league games during the meantime can't they? He also could be activated just a few days into the season.
This season is starting off very badly.

Last year it was the starting pitching being struck down like a plague, this year it is the relievers.
I irrationally blame it on training in arizona.
Matter of expectations.
I thought Masset would be better than this.
He was great in 2009. He had the bad April in 2010 and some other months weren't so hot. He was hot in July and August that year.
Last year, bad April, then good, then bad July and August.
At one point, I thought Masset would be a closer candidate. No way now.
You're right, he's not worse than many other guys. But I don't view Masset as a top notch reliever unless he rebounds.
BTW, Masset's WHIP for 2011 was over 1.5. That is not good.

TVNZ is axing its Teletext information services after 28 years, labelling it obsolete.
The service launched in New Zealand in 1984 with funds raised in the 1981 Telethon, to give New Zealand's deaf community more access to news and information.
It provided news, weather, Lotto, flight schedules and financial market information alongside lifestyle information such as horoscopes in simple text format.
TVNZ chief executive Kevin Kenrick said it had hung on to the service for as long as it could but regular users were in ''relatively small'' numbers.
"We just don't have the resources to maintain a fading service at the level of professionalism that we would want, particularly as most of the information is duplicated on our own or others' websites.''
It announced to the market in 2009 that it would be stopping the service when it switched from analogue to digital.
Australia's Seven Network stopped broadcasting its version, AusText, in 2009, the same year Britain ceased broadcasting it.
Broadcast will cease on April 2. Television captioning available through Teletext will continue unchanged.

Zappos CEO offers some surefire customer service advice
Guest Column
- Connie Glaser
Online shoppers are well aware that Zappos.com is one of the best shopping sites available.
Two decades ago it seemed unlikely that customers would buy shoes, eyewear, clothing and accessories online rather than in traditional retail outlets. But Zappos and CEO Tony Hsieh (pronounced Shay) literally revolutionized the way we shop.
Hsieh has written a memoir/business guide to take readers on the journey of his remarkable life and astounding business success. "Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose" is a first-person account of how the son of immigrants from Taiwan grew up as a grade-school entrepreneur and chronic overachiever who just happened to instinctively think out of the box.
We learn about his first childhood business venture (a failed worm farm) and his clever way of coping with his parents' high expectations. In a slightly warmer version of a "Tiger Mother" scenario, Hsieh was only allowed to watch one hour of TV per week, expected to earn straight As in all his classes, take practice SATs beginning in sixth grade and play four musical instruments: piano, violin, trumpet and French horn.
While his parents hoped that he would earn a Ph.D. or become a medical doctor, Hsieh's goals were different.
In his words, "I was much more interested in running my own businesses and figuring out different ways to make money. I always fantasized about making money because to me, making money meant that later on in life I would have the freedom to do whatever I wanted."
Accepted at Harvard, MIT, Princeton and Yale, Hsieh chose Harvard, where he began a profitable campus pizza business and established friendships that would remain loyal for life.

Financial impact of leaving work to go into full time education...
(8 Posts)I work part time and have a boy of school age. Currently in receipt of partial housing benefit and tax credits, im a single parent too. Recently ive been thinking about doing my physiotherapy degree but work wont fund it as there is no budget for non mandatory training and i will need to do a year of full time doing an access course to update my knowledge and understanding before uni will accept me. My question is i will need to leave work as i need to study full time im worried about the financial impact this will have. Will i be penalised for leaving a job to go into education? will i put on income support? how does it work? anyone who has taken this route id appreciate some advice! pleaaaase ;-)
Well you won't qualify for IS with a school aged child. Not JSA either, unless you can also make yourself available for work.
Is this your first degree? Will you get full student loan etc? That, supplemented with student parent grant (can't remember the proper name) tax credits etc should be enough to scrape by on. I think your challenge will be the access year. Any chance of some very PT work during that stage? Self employment topped with tax credits?
Would you consider doing the degree part-time - e.g. Brunel do this, it's a 4 year course?
I work PT and do a FT degree, the full time degree is 4 days @ 3 hours a day. My job needs me to be in every day, but when I started my degree, my line manager refused to "accomodate" me with shifts around uni, eventhough my contract is flexitime. The deputy line manager disagreed with her, and approached the big manager, and he said yes, as I am part time, it can be arranged to give me shifts around uni, and as I have a long summer break, he's fine.
Line manager was pissed, though. But it works.
No it won't be my first access course if I take that route at college as did one 11 year's ago but ofcourse they expire after three years! I'm not worried about uni as the bursary will cover most of it I'm concerned about the one year of college I need to do to enable me to get to university. It will be a full time college course and I font want to do part time study as I'm 39 in a few months I won't qualify till I'm 43 as it is lol adding another two years on top is not really an ideal situation my job is very demanding I know I couldn't do the two in combination whilst raising my son and looking after my parents. I just hoped someone who had already done the same might have some advice so I can have a better idea of whether I should just leave that dream of qualifying aside and just carry on as I am.
I retrained in the NHS starting at 38 Have you considered doing an A-level instead of the access course? You could do it by distance learning, more flexible. That's what I did, via the National Extension College. I needed a bit of extra tutoring on top of the tutoring within the course but overall it was pretty cheap. You're likely to need an A for physio so that's quite hard going but definitely more flexible. Once I'd got into the uni that was easier - vacations off which really helped with school (though half terms and placements were tricky - do you have any family help?) and the funding was feasible - the hardest bit was the travel costs to the uni.
You will still get tax credits (possibly more than you get now), also check out NHS bursaries. Physiotherapy is on the list for degrees paid for by the NHS (and a bursary for you). You may get a student loan on top of this.
Check this link:
I have worked in the NHS for 18 years this year and have seen many people come in through this route.
Hi again,
Just re-read your post.
I would imagine, for the access year course, you would only receive tax credits and HB. You may be better doing it part time over two years.
Check with the college about finance. I see the predicament you are in!

Book Signing
November 22, 2010 by Dave Willert (Register to contact)Hello fellow Tartans.
I have just published my second book, DIMENSIONS II: The Plethora. This is the sequel to my first effort, DIMENSIONS: The Wheat Field. These novels are fast paced and written in a constantly shifting combination of fantasy and reality. Throw in a little romance, spirituality, mystery and adventure, comedy, and you have got the gist of my books! I would like to invite everyone to come to my book signing for DIMENSIONS II: The Plethora at Borders in Brea on Saturday, December 11th at 2 PM. I would love to see you there. Once a Tartan, always a Tartan. Thanks, Dave Willert
New Book
January 2, 2010 by Dave Willert (Register to contact)Dave Willert's "DIMENSIONS: The Wheat Field" Update
Many thanks to those of you who have already ordered a copy of Dave's new book on Amazon or Barnes And Noble online. The discount remains in effect if you still wish to order it from either of them.
For a short time, Amazon and Barnes And Noble online bookstores will be discounting "DIMENSIONS: The Wheat Field" by 10%, meaning your price will now be $15.25 plus shipping instead of the regular $16.95 plus shipping. FYI standard shipping has been taking just under a week for the book to arrive.
The Book Signing is still on at Borders in Brea between Imperial and Associated. The date is Saturday, January 2nd from 2 to 3 PM. Books will be available for purchase at Borders on that day and beginning just as soon as Borders receives them from their distributor. In the meantime, have a wonderful holiday season with your families!
For those who missed it, here is a brief overview of the story:
Alan Dunkirk was a cocky young college graduate with a plan. Ten short years later, he found himself trapped inside his own mundane existence. One night, following an argument with his wife, Alan drove aimlessly away. Before long, his car mysteriously sat at the bottom of Lake Juniper, while he inexplicably found himself in the middle of a sprawling wheat field, in the body of a twelve-year-old boy. His wife, Mary, truly wanted to believe he was still alive, but there were other forces at work with much more to gain by his imminent demise. What ensues is both magical and illuminating. The Wheat Field is a race against time, a battle between good and evil, a natural blending of science and religion, but most of all a love story. The Wheat Field begins where logic leaves off and faith alone leads the way. If you have ever wondered about the connection between this life and the next, DIMENSIONS: The Wheat Field may just be your ticket to enlightenment. Contemporary Fantasy.
As you read this book, please enjoy the story, but don't miss the message. Hmm..

Title: Where to find Yarrow for sale in the area of Ft. Worth TX?
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
I'm very fond of the native plant called "Yarrow." Where might I find this in the Fort Worth area, and what are the tips for growing it. Seems like I saw it in one of the gardens at the LBJ Wildflower Center on my recent visit. Thanks so much!ANSWER:
Yarrow Achillea millefolium (Common yarrow) is a herbaceous perennial with fragrant lacy foliage and small daisy-like flower heads. It can be found in all of the 48 contiguous states in the US.
This link from Floridata.com contains lots of information about the plant and how to care for it.
Our Suppliers Directory can help you find businesses that sell native plants or seeds.
I looked through the directory and found two nurseries in the Ft.Worth area where Achillea millefolium is sold:
Stuart Nursery in Weatherford
Weston Gardens In Bloom in Ft. Worth
Seed may be purchased on line from Wildseed Farms in Fredricksburg, however the farm is so beautiful it might be worth a "day trip" to pick them up yourself.
