Good morning folks,
The Lord indeed moves in strange ways. Last Tuesday I was laid off - my former
employer hasn't won a contract for the last year or so and are cutting staff.
I was one of them. Ten minutes later being laid off, I received a phone-call to
say that my younger son, Joshua, seven years old, was in the Emergency Room
at our local hospital suffering from "minor seizures". But the Lord is good -
the prognosis wasn't as bad as it sounded: it turns out that he suffers from migraines.
At seven?
Not a nice week, but on Monday I was informed that my book is on Publish America's 'new releases' page. If anybody is interested, please look at http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?catalogid=4091
Prior to my layoff, Bridget and I had decided that all proceeds from the book would go towards adopting an orphan in China. That still stands. I believe I am in a fairly strong position and will soon be re-employed. Hopefully we will still have some of my severance package left over to put towards the adoption fund :-) We believe that this is what God is calling us to do. If anybody is interested in reading more about the adoption, please visit my website: http://www.JoshStaffordBooks.com
Once again, thanks to you all for your help in Twin Commander information - the
Commander List gets a special mention in the acknowledgements, along with a
few others.
Blue skies and calm weather to you all,
Andrew

Dear Listers,
First let me say that I normally don't condone the sharing of warnings
about Internet viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. I don't want to
start a storm of discussion regarding computer viruses on the Lists, so
please just note the information below and refrain from commenting to
the List. The circumstances I describe below are disturbing enough
that I felt an explanation is necessary. That being said...
There is a new email-bourne virus running rampant on the Internet that
is cleverly disguising itself as legitimate email warning of such
things as:
"your email account is disabled because of unauthorized access"
"Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail
content) outgoing from your e-mail account"
"Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In
order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions."
"Our main mailing server will be temporary unavailable for next two
days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to
configure our free auto-forwarding service."
All of these messages include an attachment that you are instructed to
click upon to "Get more information", "clean the virus from your
system", or "check your system for infections".
These enclosures all contain a virus that will infect your system and
propagate even more copies of the original message.
The disturbing part of these messages is that they appear to be coming
from very legitimate addresses and have very legitimate, convincing
dialog. For example, I have received a number of them today that
appear to be from "support@matronics.com", "management@matronics.com",
"administration@matronics.com", and "staff@matronics.com".
The text of the messages seems believable enough, and given the forged
source address, seem even more legitimate.
Please be assured that no one at Matronics.com will be sending you
these kinds of messages. If you receive one, it is a spam/virus that
has forged headers and was sent to you from someone other than
Matronics. Delete the message and the attachment promptly. Invest in
a copy of Norton Antivirus and keep the definitions up dated on a daily
basis.
Again, I want to stress that I *DO NOT* want a big discussion of
viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. Please do not reply to this
email with any comments. You may write to me directly at
dralle@matronics.com if you wish, but do not include the List.
Since many of these appear to come from matronics.com, I wanted to
assure everyone that Matronics wasn't the real source of these messages.
Let's be careful out there and keep those virus definitions up to date!
Today alone, the Matronics spam filter and virus blocking appliance
has filtered out 11,550 spam messages and 375 viruses! That's just in
an 18 hour period!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

Don't feel picked on, Matt.
This morning I got that mail from staff@sbcglobal.net. The attachment
was a zip file that purportedly had a password associated with it that
was in the email.
It seemed very authentic, but I checked with my provider who confirmed
it was a spam virus. Delete and it was gone.
Thanks for the notice. It really is important.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share an experience with the group. Last weekend
upon leaving Laughlin, Nevada for Arlington, WA we encountered a sizeable
fuel leak from behind the co-pilot's panel. It happened after right engine
start-up and after a very quick shutdown (the leak was a steady stream) we
were able to isolate it to the right engine 3-in-1 guage (oil temp, oil
pressure, and fuel pressure). It appears that the aneroid wafer for the fuel
pressure ruptured and the case failed to contain the fuel in the instrument
case.
All of our guages were sent in for test/calibration less than a year ago, but
the 3-in-1 guages were not opened - only bench tested. The records for
N2732B do not show a last overhaul date on either guage so it is possible
that it has been many years since they were last opened and inspected. I
sent both guages in for overhaul as the other guage probably would be next to
go. Also of note was that there was no "early indicator" of the failure -
the fuel pressure was reading normal right up to the point of failure.
I guess the moral of the story is to specify an overhaul on critical but
functioning critical guages if it has been several years since the last
overhaul. Fortunatly, the Man was looking out for us and it happened on the
ground and not in flight.
On the same topic, does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the
3-in-1's that uses a sender unit on the fuel pressure side vs. direct
reading? I really don't like the idea of fuel under pressure routed to the
instrument panel and would be interested in alternative solutions.
Thanks,
Kelly Piper
