> I found a problem in the seed data.  The kilogram, is under the wrong measure type.  The kilogram is a unit of mass, not a unit of weight. 
> Explanation: The weight of a product/object changes with altitude, the mass does not.  (example: If you want to lower your mass, then you need to diet, but if you just want to weigh less, then just live on mars.)
> (These are easy to confuse because of a naming collision:  there is a unit of mass called the pound and also unit of force called the pound)
> Basically, we should change:
> <UomType description="Weight" hasTable="N" uomTypeId="WEIGHT_MEASURE"/>
>  To be:
>  <UomType description="Mass" hasTable="N" uomTypeId="MASS_MEASURE"/>
>  <UomType description="Force" hasTable="N" uomTypeId="FORCE_MEASURE"/>
>  
> With seperate Uoms under each UomType
