Ladue Schools Propostion 1 Results - Two Weeks Later

I just received an e-mail from a fellow school parent who wanted to show my results numbers to some other folks, and that made me want to see if the St. Louis Board of Elections had updated their result numbers from two weeks ago. They did, but the numbers are not fully complete yet. I wanted to see the township breakdown for the Ladue School District Proposition 1 voting results and they have most of the votes tabulated by township, but not all of them. The results so far are pretty interesting, though.


Since the election ended it looks like they have collected a few hundred more votes since the polls closed, so now the overall total is 4754 Yes, 4255 No, still a 500 vote decision. But if you break it down by township numbers you again see how the votes vary from location to location:
 
TOWNSHIP Yes No % Yes Diff
Clayton 1375 1840 42.77% -465
Creve Coeur 2013 1472 57.76% 541
Missouri River 346 466 42.61% -120
*Missing 1020 477 68.14% 543
TOTAL 4754 4255 52.77% 499

So if you look at the results you will notice that the township data is still missing 1,020 Yes votes and 477 No votes which would actually make the results 3,778 No and 3,734 Yes if those were the complete numbers. So those missing 1,497 votes are very important and are 68% Yes votes. If you compare the 2010 township votes (where the township totals do add up to the final total) the Missouri River township has more than twice the total votes compared to what is listed currently online, so I am guessing a lot of the missing votes are from that township. If we take the current percentages and assuming that they are fairly close to the final ones we can see that the proposition definitely passed fairly strongly in the Creve Couer township and that it failed with a strong No majority in the Clayton township. From the small sampling in the Missouri River township it does not seem to be passing there either, but in 2010 that was the township that was more "in the middle" of the voting preferences of the other two. I will be very curious to see where the other missing 1,500 votes are located, but I am guessing at least 1,000 of them are in the Missouri River township to bring them closer to a 50%/50% split. With the current township votes the winning gap of Yes votes in the Creve Coeur township is almost fully negated by the No majority in Clayton township.

BMI & BMR Calculator (Body Mass Index and Basal Metabolic Rate)

Image
My wife has been researching type 2 diabetes and recently checked a book out of the library which included a body mass index (BMI) chart much like the one pictured here. Whereas it is fairly easy to follow, I, of course, think it must be converted to an online calculator! However, when I checked the Internet, there were already a billion of them so I had to make one that was different. So my lovely BMI BMR calculator accepts either inches or centimeters for your height and pounds or kilograms for your weight and calculates not only your BMI, but also your BMR (basal metabolic rate) which determines how many calories you should consume! So I made a spiffy "all in one" healthy body indicator calculator which not only determines how underweight or overweight you are, but also tells you how many calories you should consume to maintain or improve your ideal weight.

Trying out the L'Ecole Culinaire Presentation Room restaurant

Image
We had been seeing the ads for the restaurant at L'Ecole Culinaire and since we live so close by we thought we would try it out. We had always enjoyed dining out at cooking or hotel schools like the CHIC in Chicago and the Statler at Cornell where we went to college. Since we still love to go out and eat here in St. Louis , we ventured over to their restaurant on the first day they were open for lunch. The first thing we noticed is that they do not have much parking! They really need to let patrons know where they are supposed to park. The restaurant itself is small but very well attended. There was one fellow who kept straightening all the centerpieces and place settings on the tables, and we always saw one or two student workers milling about. The lunch menu was small and the choices did not appear overly "gourmet". The special of the day was a bison burger stuffed with cheese, and other choices picked by my group included a club sandwich, a "margherita" pi

Not all Frosted Window Films are the same!

Image
We live in an older home with a lot of issues and one of them concerns our back door to our patio from our sunroom. The door has double paned glass on it, but unfortunately the seal has broken so you can see moisture collect inside of it. We decided the easiest way to "remedy" the problem was to cover the window with some "frosted" film so we did not have to see the moisture condensing between the panes. But the question was, what film? There are a bunch of them available so we had to select something to try on the door. The first place we tried was our nearby Lowe's store which had a bunch of Gila brand film. We selected what seemed like the typical adhesive based door sized  film that cost about $25 after tax. We thought it could not be that hard to put up and look nice on our door. So one day my wife ran out and purchased it at Lowe's and we commenced to install it on our door window. We made our own soapy water solution and followed the directions
