Here are some more information for John Stride:

If you have charm, you have it easier in life. There is no doubt about it.

You make friends easily and quickly, colleagues co-operate with you, socially people enjoy your company, waiters get you the best table and the check-out guy take extra care when packing your groceries.

A New York scientist, John Czepiel, found that charming people have five character traits in common -- humor, passion, confidence, interest in others, and curiosity. We will look at each of them, and give tips on how to imitate charmers by emphasizing that quality in ourselves, until it becomes natural.

1. Humor

Being able to laugh at yourself, and to get others to laugh, is crucial.

How can we do this? For starters, whenever you meet someone, smile. Then say something which makes fun of yourself. Something trivial. But the trick is to be at ease with your mistake or flaw. This is very disarming and people immediately warm to you.

2. Passion

Charming people have an exuberance about them, an energy which positively affects others.

Find something fabulous about every moment. Forget about the squabble you had this morning with your husband or the meeting you dread scheduled for next week, focus only on the present. Throw yourself joyfully into what you are doing right now, and people will naturally gravitate to you.

3. Confidence

Charming people always know how to act, regardless of how difficult, unexpected or awkward the situation.

Whether your boss unexpectedly gives you an assignment from hell or your in-laws pop in for a visit when the house is in a frightful state, take things in your stride. If you smile and are at ease, others feel comfortable.

4. Be interested in others

Charming people are interested in others, regardless of whether the other person is a CEO or the tea lady. They ask questions, pay attention to the answers, and remember details which they bring up some time in the future.

Consider making a note of everyone you chat with regularly. Each time you see them, ask them something about themselves, make a note of it afterwards, and when next you chat to them, refer to it. After a while you will remember the cashier at your favorite supermarket is raising her brother, and the guy you deal with at the municipal offices is planning on opening a coffee shop, and you will no longer need your list.

It is very flattering to the other person that you remember details about them, and they cannot help but think how great you are.

5. Curiosity

Charming people are always interested in the new and unusual, whether it entails meeting new people, going different places, learning new things or doing anything out of the ordinary. And if you have done anything unusual, they want to know all about it, down to the last detail.

In your quest to be more charming, be on the lookout for anything new you can learn. Once you start, you will find yourself becoming immersed in it. Describe anything new only in a positive way, be it fascinating, enjoyable or interesting.

Putting these tips into effect is an investment in your life, one sure to yield pleasurable dividends. Enjoy.

Stride Rite Shoes

The Stride Rite brand of children’s shoes is one of the most popular brands available, and for good reason. This manufacturer seems to understand the importance of high-quality and fashion while providing durable and practical shoes for boys and girls of all ages.

Their line of toddler and infant shoes alone could fill a store by themselves. They offer footwear for even the youngest of feet, including baby shoes of all styles and designs. These are all made of quality natural and synthetic materials that are soft enough yet strong enough to protect a baby’s fragile feet. They are also very fashionable, and are available in slip-on or strap-on styles to make the job of changing the baby’s shoes so much easier. The Billy Navy leather strap-ons will make any infant boy look good, and the brown and pink color combination that is so stylish can be found in the Kit and Gosling shoes for infant girls.

As the toddlers get older, they will still find Stride Rite shoes to meet any style and use requirement. There are many types of athletic shoes, sandals, and dress shoes for the younger boys and girls to choose from. Mary Janes and shiny patent leather shoes for girls, such as the Nicolette, Cassandra, and Valerie, Jr. styles, will dress up any outfit they have. The boys will find a vast selection of casual shoes in the athletic designs that are so popular, including the Transporter Root Beer, the Ascender, the Tumble H&L, and the Dylan.

In fact, there are so many casual and athletic-style shoes offered by Stride Rite that it would be nearly impossible to list them all in one place. They make these types of shoes for any age of youngster, and the choices in styles, colors, and materials are seemingly unlimited. The Superball and Asteroid lines of athletic shoes for both boys and girls are some of their most popular shoes, but the list goes on and on.

Of course, girls like the athletic style as well, but they like a little extra color in their athletic shoes. The Pandora hot pink sneakers and the Shawna espresso brown and pink sneakers cover all bases with a sense of fashion and the durability that is required in an athletic shoe. The popular skate shoes and sandal-type sneakers that young girls like so much are also offered by Stride Rite, including the Stella T Stage 3 sandal sneaker.

Boots have once again become a fashion trend for young kids shoes, and Stride Rite has met the challenge with a long line of boots for boys and girls. The Cold Front for boys and girls are a good winter boot, with a warm lining and heavier sole that will last through several winters. Girls will like the Twinkles brown patent leather zip boots, as well as the Missy black suede calf boots that are the ultimate in fashion footwear for young ladies.

Regardless of the preference in style, color, or design, Stride Rite makes the kind of shoe any kid will like.

An idea for Halloween 9?

If there was to be a Halloween 9 in the future, I think the subtitle could be Halloween: Michael's Homecoming or something like that and bring Jamie Lloyd back and Billy, but Jamie could be under a different last name and they could put John Strode back into the series too. Put some extra characters that die and such, but Michael's main intention would be to kill John Strode, the last of the strodes but then finds out that Jamie Lloyd isn't dead, you saw in Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers, that MIchael killed Jamie, but there could be another person around, a religious nut or someone who saves Jamie, like Michael's twin or something, saves Jamie, but who thinks this could be a good idea for Halloween 9? Just give me your thoughts and opinions!

Well Rob Zombie's Halloween is considered the ninth installment in the franchise. Although if there was technically a real Halloween 9, here are my ideas:
