I have been following the thread about weighing versus measuring
 with enough interest to motivate me to buy a scale.  I have not
 seen any posts with the weight listed for various ingredients, so,
 here is a list I worked up in my kitchen.  I used a Polder electronic
 model  936-2 scale, capacity 4 pounds 8 ounces.  It measures in
 one eighth ounce increments.
 1 c flour (unsifted)                            5 oz
 1 c flour (sifted)                              4 1/4 oz
 1 c Masa Harina (Quaker)                        4 7/8 oz
 1 c white granulated sugar (C&H cane)           6 3/4 oz
 1 c Dark brown sugar (Vons) not packed          4 7/8 oz
 1 c Dark brown sugar (Vons) packed              6 5/8 oz
 1 c Long grain white rice                       6 1/2 oz
 1 c water (8 fluid oz.)                         8 1/8 oz
 1 c milk 2%  Jerseymaid  (8 fluid oz.)          8 1/4 oz
