Hiking Boots

My son, who comes over and helps me around my house, is in real need of some hiking boots.

I'm wondering if someone might have a pair laying around they would like to sell. Size 11.5 or 12, depending on brand.

You can email me at elite01@shaw.ca or call 778-557-6510

Thank you

From the Library ~

I have begun a collection of music CD’s.  Yesterday I catalogued a Christmas collection, classical music collection and a few jazz CD’s.  

I am hoping to get feedback on whether I should carry on with this endeavour.  I am also thinking about books on tape.  Is there any interest?  I have 2 at the moment, both donated. The CD collection is under the window by my desk.   There is sign out card inside the case.

Game of Thrones season 7 has been added.

Enjoy our honour system library.

E-Spokes: Tinyletter ~ Spam Correction

I feel it necessary to offer a correction regarding the spam messages sent out regularly.

It is incorrect in stating, "The Web keeps trying to call Tinyletter e-mails Spam".

"The Web" does not do any filtering of any kind, which is why we get so much junk mail.

Individual email clients on individual computers or devices do the spam or junk filtering.

In some situations if you are using webmail via a web browser on a remote server such as g-mail, that on-line client will also apply spam filtering by default.

Certainly the correct action is to check your spam or junk folder for e-mail from Tinyletter. What you do when you find it there is the important thing.

The best corrective measure if tiny letters is being flagged as spam is to use the tool in your email client on your computer or on the web and mark it as "not junk" or "unblock" 

Each mail client is different you will want to consult the help menu or online guide for your particular client.

Junk mail or spam is flagged by an equation that considers: number of recipients, subject content and message content, this is done on your computer for every message received or on the recipients mail server (not the web). You can of course to junk filtering off which would be too drastic but you can change the threshold or simply allow exceptions such as marking an email you find in your junk folder as not junk or unblock. This will remember for all email from that address or domain to be received by your email client.

If you want to know more about spam filtering just do a search on the web for "spam filters on web", be warned however many less than scrupulous individuals or companies are more than happy to help you with spam, DO NOT BE FOOLED, in most cases they only want to help you get more spam, especially if its a "free" service. All email clients provide junk mail management for which you do not have to pay or add options.

Again beware of "upgrades from 3rd parties". It is best to stick to the mainstream email clients and webmail from creditable providers. Thunderbird, Outlook, Gmail, and Microsoft mail are all suitable. There are many other "free" email packages, which I believe only put you and your friends email addresses on to spam lists.

Re-subscribing does little or nothing to alleviate the problem.

I think that depending on how tiny letters manages its e-mail list having individual email addresses listed more than once on it's server may effect how your client applies the equation noted above and flag your incoming Tinyletter message as spam. That said a good mail subscriber service should delete duplicate email addresses, I do not know if Tinyletter does, but it is best to avoid re-subscribing to any lists that you belong to.

Personal Note: For those of you that do not know me, or my background, I spent most of my professional career in computer systems working as a systems analyst.

Q: Pictures of the Storm Damage?

As the storm last December was so very much one for the record books, the Quarterly would really appreciate it if you would send us any good pictures you might have of its aftermath and clean-up.  

To keep the number of mailboxes being filled up to a minimum, please just send them to veronicashelford@gmail.com

Thanks!

Spring Quarterly Deadline

We will be working on the Spring issue of the Quarterly in early February, and would appreciate it if you could either send in, or warn us about, any stories, notices, reports, ads, etc. intended for this issue, by February 4th.  Please send things to quarterly@thetisisland.net, but if there is no response within a day or two, please let me know at veronicashelford@gmail.com.

One of the stories we would like to see, in this issue if possible, is remembrances of Isabelle Loveless, who passed away last October. We have a very short obituary notice for her, but those who knew her have told us that she had an amazing life, and it's a story we'd love to see told, in at least whatever bits and pieces can be recalled. So would anyone who knew her, both during her time here on Thetis, or are aware of some of her life story elsewhere, would you please get in touch with me?  Any help will be very much appreciated.

Belated Happy New Year!

Not surprisingly, I didn’t get any Merry Christmas and Happy New Years cards out to my friends and neighbours in December.  

The storm chaos displaced my best intentions.  And today I found a stack of unopened cards I had misplaced when we lost part of our roof, and took great pleasure in reading them.  

So to all of you in our little island community, I send you my very best wishes for a peaceful, happy, healthy and fire-free 2019. 

Be kind to each other - we become each other’s heroes when it counts.
