In the first part we construct a subset H of positive measure in the unit interval and a zero-sequence {an} so that H contains no homothetic copy of {an}. In Theorem 2 we prove that if ε > 0 and a zero-sequence {an} are given then there exists a set A of measure less than ε so that 
covers the interval. An application of this result is Theorem 3: for any sequence {an} and ε > 0 there is a set H of measure 1 - ε such that for no N and c is {an + c}n ≥ N contained by H.
