Actually, on the Pennzoil container it acknowledges the extra bit over 5 quarts

5.1 quarts = 4.8 L = 1.28 gallons, so nothing is rounded.

The little town in Maine where ACWM is said to be located is of about 1000 
people with a per household medium income of about $21000. This is about 
one-half of the national medium income. In other words, it appear to be a less 
than well-educated population. Consider the sources. People from these towns 
are opposed to many different things. In my own home-town many of the residents 
do not understand where their own social security income comes from -- it just

I don't know how possible it is.  All their replies to the BWMA and UKMA

never can tell if the posts are by one person or more.

You can scan through their posts here and hopefully you may find a clue:

They do have their own Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/ACWMeas/info

Their Facebook page has very little visits and most posts come from 
pro-metrics, which they tend to delete.  I believe most of their claims to be 
wishful thinking or an exaggeration of something minor and obscure.

Ok, let's get the record straight here!  I've used pressure cookers a lot and 
they have safety values, but they only allow the pressure to release fast 
enough to avoid normal overheating.  An aunt of mine actually had her pressure 
valve blow and it plastered the ceiling above the stove with the food contents 
inside.

However, a bomb going off is certainly not going to be abated by a pressure

Pressure cookers should have safety devices to prevent them from exploding.  
Although we do not have a pressure cooker at home, I remember that my mother's 
pressure cooker had a rubber stopper that would dislodge should the pressure 
rise too much.

On reading the account, it occurred to me that the pressure cooker used in the 
explosion could have been bought in country that did not demand safety valves 
on their devices.  (I assume that in the US it would be illegal to sell 
pressure cookers without safety valves).

Quick View of Don Jordan:

1. Honor the Teacher - Reach out to All students
2. If it Benefits the Student then Let`s do it
3. College Tuition: Find a long-term solution to tuition increases in South 
Carolina.
4. Education belongs in the hands of our parents, local officials, local 
educational agencies and states.

Common Core Compromise: We need to work with the state advocates and developers 
of Common Core to make sure the original good intent is not lost.

Tuition cost in higher education must stop increasing!

One of the best investments we can make in a child's life is high-quality early 
education.
Education belongs in the hands of our parents, local officials, local 
educational agencies and states. How can teachers hold all children to the same 
standard when they are not all the same?  One of the most distressing 
characteristics of education reformers is that they are hype-focused on how 
students perform, but they ignore how students learn.




We desire to honor the teachers, reach out to all students, review the 
standards,  with teachers in charge, review testing methods of students, reach 
out to poorer areas of South Carolina and motivate students,  showing  them 
they have every opportunity to be as successful as they desire to be. We will 
make an effort to visit every school district in South Carolina in the first 
year of office. Our commitment is to the teachers and to working with the 
legislature and Governor`s Office to make responsible changes that can work.

We’ve switched to a new server and metric.org still has not been changed to

Our site metric.org seems to be down. I hope it goes back up soon. P.S. I am 
using Google Chrome as web browser.

[USMA 323] FW: Mailman list changes in ONE WEEK

[Hillger,Donald]

Changes coming next week to the listserver, on 28 September!

-Original Message-
From: Jo Zwack [mailto:jzw...@colostate.edu]

To: Hillger,Donald <don.hill...@colostate.edu>
Subject: Mailman list changes in ONE WEEK

This email is to remind you as a list owner that one week from today we will be 
making a minor change to Mailman. Beginning September 28th, at 9 AM, list 
addresses will be in the format listn...@lists.colostate.edu instead of the 
current listn...@colostate.edu.

THIS WILL AFFECT ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE LISTS.

At 9 AM, there will be a brief Mailman outage where any messages sent to a list 
will be held until the outage is over. While this is not expected to take long, 
we highly recommend delaying sending out list messages until at least 10 AM, as 
the service may be temporarily unpredictable.

The ultimate reason we are making this change is to help ACNS simplify the 
management of the University mailing lists. This will also help to better 
assure that emails are received by all list members and are not dropped.
Messages sent from a mailing list will be more easily identifiable, since 
"lists" will be explicitly in the address.

What to Expect:

Starting September 28th, any email sent to the original list addresses will be 
returned as non-deliverable. Users will receive an automated email informing 
them of the change and to resend to the proper "lists.colostate.edu".

And We Need Your Help:

We are asking list owners to inform their subscribers of this change; assuming 
they are lists where end users are able to send messages to the entire group. 
If it is a restricted list where only several individuals are able to send, it 
is up to the list owner to decide if sharing this information is valuable.

We will send one more reminder next Tuesday, the 27th, of this change. Any 
questions can be sent to joanna.zw...@colostate.edu. We are looking forward to 
having our email systems working more efficiently!
