LET US BEGIN TO SEE BEYOND race, beyond culture, beyond gender, beyond

sexual orientation, beyond religion, beyond, beyond all these

externals and see each other as God's beloved. When we relate to

others as God relates to us, our sense of being God's beloved deepens

even more.

Hi Gayla, says I with a furrowed, troubled brow:

Your 1/4 cup is twice as big as the one in my conversion table.

Interesting! Anybody else any comments on that?

Hubby just read out to me from Wikipedia:

United States' current legal definition is:

240 ml = 1 cup (21 CFR 101.9 ( (5) (viii)) ..code of federal regulations

Seems that according to that a 1/4 cup seems to be 60 ml after all?

Have a good weekend,

Gayla, I have to dispute your conversion of cup to ml. There are 8 ounces or 16

tablespoons in a cup, therefore 2 ounces or 4 tablespoons in 1/4 C. A tablespoon

is 15 ml. One ounce is 30 ml. So one cup is 16x15 or 240 ml. And 1/4 cup is 60

ml. or 2 oz.

In the US we use ml and cc (cubic centimeters) interchangeably in most liquid

measurements, but they are not precisely the same thing.

Happy measuring!

Peggy

For 45yrs. or so , ever since school, I have regarded 1 Cubic Centimetre as

1/1000 of a litre i.e. 1 millilitre. In other words same volume, different name.

Being an inveterate hair splitter I immediately dashed of to an online

conversion chart.

At http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm

they reckon

" 275 cubic centimetre = 275 millilitre "

, do you mean to say you were the original Austin Powers?

So was KT around during the time of the hippies, or is this just now

coming to our shores (and yours) from China/Japan/Russia?

, do you mean to say you were the original Austin Powers?

So was KT around during the time of the hippies, or is this just now

coming to our shores (and yours) from China/Japan/Russia?

Anyone know?

Gayla,

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

I always read the messages from the top down, which means that I read the

newest ones first. After I read the replies to your original post, I realized

that I was piling on - not intentionally, but I had replied to you before

reading the other " corrector's " posts. Sorry. Actually I did think you must know

the real conversion or you'd have a lot of very sick horses! And don't worry

about a temporary brain freeze - it happens to me more than I care to talk

about...but I can plead " Having a senior moment " . There are some perks!

Be blest,

Peggy
