Story Title: The Lazy Princess Sara of Greenland
Once upon a time, in the frosty kingdom of Greenland, there lived a princess named Sara. Unlike most princesses who were renowned for their grace, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to their duties, Princess Sara was known for her unparalleled laziness. She preferred the warmth of her plush, fur-lined bed to the icy winds outside her castle walls, and her days were spent in a perpetual state of leisure, lounging on soft pillows and sipping hot cocoa.
The kingdom of Greenland was a place of beauty, adorned with glistening snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, and vibrant auroras that danced across the night sky. The people were hard-working and industrious, toiling in the frigid temperatures to maintain their homes and provide for their families. Yet, despite the bustling life outside, Princess Sara found more joy in napping than in attending royal obligations or engaging with her subjects.
Her father, King Magnus, was a kind-hearted ruler who adored his daughter. However, he worried about her future. “A princess must not only be beautiful but also wise and benevolent,” he often lamented to his advisors. “If she continues to sleep through her responsibilities, how will she ever lead our people?”
One day, the king decided that enough was enough. He summoned his court and devised a plan to encourage Princess Sara to become more engaged with her responsibilities. They decided to host a grand festival to celebrate the coming of spring, a time of renewal and joy. The festival would showcase the talents of the kingdom’s artisans, musicians, and performers. It was an event that demanded the princess’s involvement, and the king hoped it would ignite a spark of enthusiasm in her.
As news of the festival spread throughout the kingdom, the villagers began their preparations. They crafted colorful decorations, baked delicious treats, and practiced their performances. Yet, Princess Sara remained blissfully unaware, nestled in her bed, dreaming of fluffy clouds and endless fields of flowers.
On the eve of the festival, King Magnus approached his daughter’s chambers. He gently knocked on the door, and when there was no response, he opened it to find Sara sprawled out on her bed, a half-eaten chocolate croissant resting on her chest.
“Sara, my dear,” he said with a warm smile, “tomorrow is the festival! You must rise and partake in the festivities. It will be a wonderful opportunity for you to connect with the people of our kingdom.”
Sara cracked one eye open and groaned. “But, Father, why must I leave the comfort of my bed? The festival sounds exhausting. Can’t we simply celebrate in here?”
King Magnus chuckled softly, “You will miss out on the joy our people bring. They have worked hard to prepare for this day. You, as their princess, must lead by example.”
With a reluctant sigh, Sara rolled out of bed, her limbs heavy and her heart even heavier. “Fine, but only if I can wear my warmest slippers,” she mumbled, retreating to her wardrobe.
The following day, the sun rose over the kingdom, casting a golden hue on the snow. Princess Sara, clad in a beautiful gown paired with fluffy slippers, stepped out into the bustling courtyard. To her surprise, the air buzzed with excitement. Children laughed and played, artisans showcased their crafts, and musicians filled the air with enchanting melodies.
As she wandered through the festival, Sara found herself captivated by the vibrant colors and joyous spirit surrounding her. She admired the intricate tapestries woven by the villagers, tasted the freshly baked pastries that seemed to melt in her mouth, and listened to the captivating stories shared by the elders.
Slowly but surely, a flicker of curiosity ignited within her. She approached a group of children gathered around a storyteller, his voice weaving tales of bravery and adventure. As she listened, she felt a warmth spreading through her heart, an unfamiliar sensation that began to replace her usual apathy.
“Princess Sara!” one of the children exclaimed, noticing her presence. “Will you tell us a story too?”
Sara hesitated, her mind racing. “But I’ve never told a story before,” she replied, feeling a tinge of uncertainty.
“Please!” the children chimed in unison, their eyes wide with anticipation.
Taking a deep breath, Sara felt an unexpected surge of confidence. “Alright, gather ‘round!” she declared, her voice growing stronger. She began to weave a tale of a brave knight and a fierce dragon, drawing inspiration from the stories she had heard earlier. As she spoke, her imagination blossomed, and the children listened intently, captivated by her words.
The more she spoke, the more Sara realized she enjoyed sharing her creativity with others. The festival, which she had initially dreaded, transformed into a platform for her to connect with her people. Laughter filled the air, and for the first time, she felt a sense of purpose.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the festival, Princess Sara looked around at the smiling faces of her subjects. King Magnus watched from a distance, his heart swelling with pride. His daughter had discovered a joy she never knew existed—a joy found in the company of others.
From that day forward, Princess Sara transformed from the lazy princess into an active member of her kingdom. She embraced her role with vigor, participating in the affairs of the state and attending to the needs of her people. Each day became a new adventure, and her once-sedate life was filled with laughter, creativity, and purpose.
And so, in the kingdom of Greenland, Princess Sara became a beloved figure known not only for her beauty but also for her kindness and dedication to her people. The lazy princess had awakened, and a new era of joy and unity blossomed in the kingdom, proving that sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge to awaken the spirit within.

========================
🎬 [Video Title: “How to Make Kids Animated Movies with AI | ChatGPT, Leonardo AI, Kling, Premiere Pro”]
🎙️ [INTRO - Bright & Fun Background Music + Animated Logo]
Narrator (Voiceover):
Hey storytellers! ✨
Ever dreamed of making your own kids animated movie — filled with adorable characters, fun adventures, and a heartwarming message?
You don’t need a big team or fancy studio… Just ChatGPT, Leonardo AI, Kling AI, and Premiere Pro.
In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the entire process — step by step — using free and powerful AI tools.
Let’s go from idea to animation — together! 🎬🌈
📖 [Step 1: Write Your Kids Story with ChatGPT]
Screen Recording: ChatGPT Interface open
Narrator:
Every great movie starts with a great story. And that’s where ChatGPT comes in.
Here’s a sample prompt to get you started:
📝 Prompt Example:
"Write a short 10-scene story for 4–7-year-old kids about a brave squirrel named Nibbles who teams up with a shy turtle to save their magical forest from a sudden drought. Make it adventurous, funny, and include a moral lesson."
💬 ChatGPT will give you:
A full storyline
Dialogue between characters
A scene-by-scene breakdown
🧠 Narrator Tip:
Ask ChatGPT to break down each scene like this:
"Give me scene 1: location, characters, dialogue, and actions."
This helps with visual planning later.
🦸♂️ [Step 2: Build Your Main Character in Leonardo AI]
Screen Recording: Leonardo.Ai UI — Text-to-Image Feature
Narrator:
Let’s meet your star: Nibbles the squirrel.
From the story we just made, ChatGPT describes Nibbles like this:
📝 Character Profile:
Name: Nibbles
Species: Squirrel
Traits: Brave, curious, energetic
Appearance: Fluffy red tail, big eyes, wears a tiny green cape
Personality: Always ready to help, loves acorns and adventure!
Now in Leonardo AI, we’re going to generate this character using a clear prompt.
🧠 Narrator Tip:
Use style keywords that match a child-friendly aesthetic like: "Cartoon, colorful, Pixar-style, 2D animation, cute, friendly."
🎨 Prompt Example for Leonardo:
"A cartoon-style brave red squirrel with a fluffy tail, big eyes, wearing a small green cape, standing in a magical forest. Pixar-style, kid-friendly, full body, bright colors."
✨ Once you generate a few good versions, choose the best one and save it — we’ll use this image to maintain consistency later.
🔁 [Maintaining Character Consistency in Leonardo AI]
Narrator:
Want your character to look the same across all scenes?
Use Leonardo’s image-to-image feature or fine-tuning.
🧠 Narrator Tip:
Upload your chosen image of Nibbles as a reference, and give prompts like:
"Same red squirrel in green cape, now running with a turtle in a desert scene, cartoon style."
This way, Nibbles looks consistent across every frame of your movie.
🎞️ [Step 3: Animate Your Scenes with Kling AI]
Screen Recording: Kling AI workspace showing animation generation
Narrator:
Now that you have your characters and backgrounds — let’s animate!
Upload your AI-generated scenes into Kling AI.
You can animate your still images by describing the action.
🎬 Prompt Example:
"Make the squirrel run happily across the forest, waving at a turtle."
Kling AI will apply motion to your scene, making it look like a real animation.
🧠 Narrator Tip:
Keep actions simple and clean for younger audiences. One scene = one clear motion.
Export your animated scenes in HD and save them in order.
🎤 [Step 4: Edit, Add Voice, and Music in Premiere Pro]
Screen Recording: Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline with clips
Narrator:
It’s showtime! Open Premiere Pro and import your animated clips.
Arrange scenes, add transitions, and line up your audio.
For voiceovers:
You can record your own
Or use AI voices (like ElevenLabs, TTSMaker, or Narakeet)
🎶 Add free kids’ music and sound effects from the YouTube Audio Library or Pixabay Sounds.
🧠 Narrator Tip:
Add subtle sound effects like birds, rustling leaves, and character giggles to bring life to the story.

Sears Lilquidation Sale Event 2017
Sears Canada began its liquidation sales at its remaining stores across the country Thursday, but many shoppers found the deals to be underwhelming.
While signs suggest discounts of 20 to 50 per cent off — with a note that exceptions apply — relatively few items at a Toronto store appeared to be offered at half off.
Some big ticket items such as snowblowers and treadmills were only 10 per cent off.

But dozens of shoppers still braved long check-out lines to make their purchases as Sears prepares to shut its doors for good after 65 years in business.
A joint-venture group — which includes Hilco Global, Gordon Brothers Canada, Tiger Capital Group and Great American Group — is running the liquidation sales at 74 remaining department stores and eight Home stores.
Discounts are available on all Sears's own brands, including Kenmore, as well as brand name men's and women's apparel, and a variety of other categories including home decor, toys, furniture, and major appliances.
"Selected fixtures, furnishings and equipment in the closing stores will also be for sale," said the joint-venture group.
Sears Canada gift cards will be honoured throughout the sale as well, the group said. However, Sears Canada stopped honouring extended warranties as of Wednesday.

Iphone 5 Hot Dealsl
phone operators have announced their tariffs. Here is a round-up of what's on offer.
Lowest monthly charges
Most operators are only offering the phone on a 24-month deal.
O2 has the cheapest monthly charge for a 16GB iPhone 5 at £26 for unlimited calls and texts and 1GB of internet data, plus £249.99 upfront. Over the two-year contract this has a total cost of £873.99.
The upfront charge increases to £299.99 for a 32GB phone and £399.99 for 64GB. Over two years they work out at £923.99 and £1,023.99 respectively.
Three's Ultimate Internet 500 contact includes all you can eat data, 500 any network minutes and 5,000 texts for £34 a month plus £79 upfront for the 16GB phone. That works out at £895 over the two-year contract. For a 32GB phone you pay £89 upfront and £37 a month for a total of £977, while a 64GB phone is £109 upfront and £40 a month, for a total of £1,069.
The operator's One Plan, meanwhile, includes all you can eat data, 2,000 any network minutes, 5,000 texts and 5,000 Three-to-Three minutes for £36 a month plus £79 upfront on a 16GB phone. That works out at £943. For a 32GB phone it's £89 upfront and £39 a month making a total of £1,025, while a 64GB phone is £109 upfront a £42 a month, for a total of £1,117.
Orange's The Works plans offer unlimited calls and texts, and charges vary according to the amount of data usage – £36 a month for 1GB, £41 a month for 2GB, £46 a month for 3GB and £51 a month for unlimited access. On the £36 plan the 16GB handset costs £109.99, for a total of £973.99 over two years. The 32GB handset costs £219.99 for a total of £1,083.99, while the 64GB handset is £269.99 upfront for a total of £1,133.99.
The T-Mobile Full Monty plan, which runs for 24 months, offers unlimited texts and internet use plus 2,000 minutes for £36 a month plus £109 (16GB), £219 (32GB) or £269 (64GB). Those wanting unlimited call minutes can pay £41, £46 or £61 a month depending on the size of memory they want and how much they are prepared to pay for the handset.
On the £36 a month deal you will pay a total of £973 for a 16GB model, £1,083 for a 32GB model and £1,133 for a 64B model.
Shortest contract
The only contract currently available that is less than 24 months is from Vodafone. It is offering a range of 12-month plans starting at £36 a month which offer 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of internet data. A 16GB handset costs £349 upfront for a total cost of £781 over the year. A 32GB handset is £419 for a total cost of £851, while the 64GB handset is £499 for a total of £931.
More expensive monthly tariffs get you more data and calls, but the reduced handset costs mean the overall commitment is the same. So for £51 a month, for example, you get 1,200 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB of data. On that tariff you only pay £169 for a 16GB handset, resulting in a total cost of £781. For a 32GB phone you pay £239 for the handset (and £851 in total) and for a 64GB handset you pay £319 (£931 in total).
Free handset
Orange is offering a 16GB handset for free on two 24-month tariffs. The cheapest is £46 a month and comes with unlimited texts and calls and 3GB downloads. Over two years that's a total cost of £1,104. For unlimited data you pay £51 a month, which is £1,224 over two years.
O2 is also offering the iPhone 5 free on a £46-a-month tariff, although you only get 1GB of data downloads. Over 24 months that's a total of £1,104.
Vodafone is charging £47 a month on a 24-month tariff. It includes unlimited texts and calls and 2GB of data for £1,128 over two years.
Unlocked handset
Apple is selling an unlocked handset which you can use on any network you choose. The 16GB model costs £529, the 32GB model is £599 and the 64GB version costs £699. Numerous sim-only deals are available from most network providers and further afield starting at about £10 or £15 a month depending on data, text and call allowances.

Cisco in Germany
he Nasdaq outperformed the market after Cisco shares jumped nearly 10 percent and Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares hit a new closing high of $636.34, while broad gains across most S&P 500 sectors offset a gloom from Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N).
The day's gain was the first significant move since a 2 percent gain on Aug 3. Since then, the S&P 500 has been moving mostly higher, but in a slow motion.
"I think the biggest plus today is the fact that people realize that we are now really in an upward trend. We faced resistance but for over a week, we moved higher slowly without a significant pullback. That is what's pulling people in, although volume remains low," said Frank Gretz, market analyst at Wellington Shields & Co in New York.
"Some say we are climbing the 'wall of worry.' I think we are climbing the wall of low expectations. Because nobody is expecting anything good, it is easy to move up on any news."
Merkel said ECB chief Mario Draghi's vow to do all that is necessary to defend the euro is in line with what European leaders have been saying. Some traders took that as a sign Germany may be drawing nearer to backing purchases of sovereign bonds of troubled European nations such as Spain.
Facebook Inc (FB.O) fell to a new low of $19.69 as shares hit the market after the expiration of a lockup period, which had prevented sales by some insiders. The stock ended down 6.3 percent at $19.87.
Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O) rose 9.6 percent to $19.02 after the company said it would hike its dividend 75 percent after surprisingly strong results late Wednesday. The dividend increase countered a gloomy outlook from Cicso on the debt crisis and recession in Europe.
But gains were capped as Wal-Mart shed 3.1 percent to $72.15. The world's largest retailer posted a bigger-than-expected jump in quarterly profit but forecast full-year earnings that could fall short of Wall Street expectations.
Thomson Reuters data shows that of the 468 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings through Thursday morning, 68 percent beat analysts' expectations, about the same rate as over the past four quarters.
Earnings were the bigger driver given the economic data was largely in line with forecasts. The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits edged higher last week although the gauge of a longer trend fell close to a four-year low, indicating a slowly healing jobs market.
The day's gain was the first significant move since a 2 percent gain on Aug 3. Since then, the S&P 500 has been moving mostly higher, but in a slow motion.

Merkel said ECB chief Mario Draghi's vow to do all that is necessary to defend the euro is in line with what European leaders have been saying. Some traders took that as a sign Germany may be drawing nearer to backing purchases of sovereign bonds of troubled European nations such as Spain.
Facebook Inc (FB.O) fell to a new low of $19.69 as shares hit the market after the expiration of a lockup period, which had prevented sales by some insiders. The stock ended down 6.3 percent at $19.87.
Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O) rose 9.6 percent to $19.02 after the company said it would hike its dividend 75 percent after surprisingly strong results late Wednesday. The dividend increase countered a gloomy outlook from Cicso on the debt crisis and recession in Europe.
But gains were capped as Wal-Mart shed 3.1 percent to $72.15. The world's largest retailer posted a bigger-than-expected jump in quarterly profit but forecast full-year earnings that could fall short of Wall Street expectations.
Thomson Reuters data shows that of the 468 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings through Thursday morning, 68 percent beat analysts' expectations, about the same rate as over the past four quarters.
Earnings were the bigger driver given the economic data was largely in line with forecasts. The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits edged higher last week although the gauge of a longer trend fell close to a four-year low, indicating a slowly healing jobs market.

Budget Fashion Tip: Transitional Fashion
Fall is just around the corner and I am still clinging (very tightly) on to to my summer wardrobe. Summer was just too short this year and I am not ready to give up my summer dresses yet. I want many, many more days of summer sunshine!
So the question is: How to wear summer fashion in the fall season?
To soften the blow and to make the most of your summer wardrobe, try to incorporate your summer items with your fall/winter wardrobe.
Here are a couple of tips on how to stretch/transition your wardrobe to the next season:
* Wear tights with this year’s jumper, skirts, and summer dresses
* Add a few more months of wear to your tank, tee, or dress by pairing it with a cardigan or a blazer
* Wear tunic dresses with skinny jeans or tights
What are some of your summer to fall wardrobe tips?

Toyota Car
It's always good to mark positive milestones in the used car business and Toyota passed a major one with the announcement that it has sold its 3 millionth certified pre-owned vehicle.
Toyota marked the unprecedented event by giving away a 2008 Sienna to the 3 millionth CPO buyer. It is the first single line manufacturer to sell 3 million certified used vehicles.
The record-breaking sale came on the heels of a milestone year in 2010, when Toyota became the first single line nameplate to break the 300,000 mark for certified used sales. Unit sales of 315,418 in 2010 represented an increase of 18.6 percent over the previous year.
This week, Bob Carter, Toyota Division group vice president and general manager, presented a check in the amount of $22,470 to the 3 millionth customer, Sara Hirschhorn of Chicago, Illinois, to reimburse her for the purchase price of the 2008 Sienna. Hirschhorn, a nurse at the NorthShore University HealthSystem Evanston Hospital in Cook County, traded in a 2002 Hyundai Elantra. Toyota also contributed a matching donation of $22,470 to the NorthShore University HealthSystem Foundation in Hirschhorn's honor to commemorate the sale.
It's been awfully easy to knock Toyota in the last year (and some of you may remember that I resisted doing so). That's why I wanted to share the news that it has sold 3 million certified pre-owned vehicles. There is still a lot of confidence in the brand.

It's been awfully easy to knock Toyota in the last year (and some of you may remember that I resisted doing so). That's why I wanted to share the news that it has sold 3 million certified pre-owned vehicles. There is still a lot of confidence in the brand.

Winter Coats
With winter coming, perhaps it’s time that we update our wardrobes a bit. Well, here are the hottest winter fashion trends that may help you in your winter shopping.
Top designers have done their jobs… it’s our turn to do ours! (Yay!) Let’s make sure that the streets are filled with fashionable women with fabulous winter style this season! ;)
1. Coats
Invest in a good coat that you will look good in… If you have a chance to buy a designer piece, go for it! A good Italian or French wool coat will last you 3 years minimum and you’ll be seen wearing it most of the time! So you will definitely get the money worth it, even if the coat will cost you around $1.000!
In terms of colors, black, brown and gray are the traditional hues for winter coats and you will see these colors on most women, but if you truly want to stand out from the winter crowd, a little attitude won’t hurt.
Venture in bright plaids, animal prints, pinks, reds, or go all white (or beige) for a fabulous winter look that will pop. I know, the dry cleaning bill will be huge (if you go white), but it will be worth every single penny!

Sears Clothing
s there anything more fun to buy for a new baby than baby clothes? Whether for a boy or girl, those little ensembles are almost too cute to resist! Before you embark on buying sleepwear, outerwear, dresswear, & more for your little prince or princess, consider these handy tips for outfitting baby.
unctionality
Although the cute quotient plays a role in what you decide to buy, the bottom line for baby clothes is functionality. A baby needs clothes that are not only comfortable, but easy to get on and off. Often this means features like snaps at the crotch or full length zippers plus a stretch fabric and large neck hole. Fussy details and accessories may look great, but could interfere with the real function of the garment, so keep this in mind!
Sizing
There’s no doubt about it; babies come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why it’s best to pay close attention to the labels on baby clothes, which conveniently list a numerical size, usually referring to age in months, along with the approximate weight of the child the garment should fit. For example, a newborn label might say “1 mth, 10 lbs” while a label on a larger garment might say “9 mths, 20 lbs.” Most labels on infant clothes range from NB (newborn) to 24 months, at which point toddler sizes (ranging from 2T to 4T) come into play. Of course, the weight listed is a better indicator of fit, as some same-aged infants are heavier than others! In terms of what to buy, remember that it’s better to err on the side of caution; buy a size or two larger to get the most wear out of clothing, and leave a little room for layering clothing in cooler weather, especially with outerwear like jackets and snowsuits.

Ease & Comfort
Whether it’s a post-meal spit up or diaper disaster, babies can be messy. Understandably, finding clothes that are easy to wash and dry is of prime importance. Look for easy-care fabrics like cotton that wash up easily and get softer over time. Speaking of softness, keep in mind that baby skin is more delicate than adult skin, so look for garments made of soft fabrics that don’t expose the skin to irritants. Elastics should not be too tight, and should be covered with fabric, and snaps and buttons shouldn’t have itchy or scratchy backs that touch baby’s skin. If in doubt, ensure that a soft under layer of clothes (like an undershirt or onesie) protects the baby’s skin from these types of problems.
Socks & Shoes
No matter what the season, socks are a must for most babies. Their tiny feet can get cold even in warmer weather, so keep them protected. With that being said, keeping small socks on smaller feet can be a challenge. Make sure you have several pairs on hand, since losing at least one sock from a pair is bound to happen. Many parents avoid this issue by using soft-soled baby shoes. Although not really designed for walking, baby shoes help to keep socks in place, feet protected and can complete an outfit in an adorable way! Just look for ones that are soft and have a wide opening so you won’t have to struggle getting them on you little one’s feet.
Safety
Although Sears is diligent in only selling baby clothing from manufacturers who have strict safety guidelines, it’s still in your best interest to thoroughly inspect any item that a baby might wear. Given that babies love to grasp tiny objects and put things in their mouths, any small parts or pieces could be a potential chocking hazard. Loose buttons or zipper pulls, appliqués or embellishments, even long strings or fallen hems could pose a threat. Make sure that your baby’s clothes are safe before dressing each day.

HP Pavilion
Our HP Pavilion dm1 (dm1z) features the following specifications:
* AMD E-350 with AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics (dual-core CPU at 1.6 GHz and dual DX-11 SIMDs at 500 MHz)
* 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 HD glossy display with LED backlighting
* Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
* 3 GB DDR3 memory
* 320 GB, 7200 rpm HDD (Hitachi Travelstar 7K500)
* Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n wireless
* Bluetooth 3.0 (Ralink Motorola BC8)
* 6-cell Li-ion battery (51Wh)
* Dimensions: 11.45 (L) x 8.45 (W) x 0.9 - 1.25 (H) inches
* Weight: 3.53 pounds
* MSRP: $449.99
Build and Design
The new HP Pavilion dm1 is an evolutionary update to last year's Pavilion dm1z and the dv2 from 2009. Stylistically, the dm1 has more in common with the dm3. In fact, if you place the new dm1 side by side with last year's dm3, you'll see that this 11-inch notebook is basically a smaller version of the dm3. At first glance it's easy to mistake the dm1z for one of the dozens of HP netbooks that have shown up over the last few years. Fortunately, the Pavilion dm1 has a lot more to offer than those low-performance netbooks.
Build quality is on par with what we've seen from the rest of the HP Pavilion Ultraportable notebooks and HP mini netbooks. The plastics used in the chassis are durable and thick enough to prevent flex or cracking under pressure. The plastic screen lid provides adequate protection for the screen but the middle of the lid does bend inward under firm pressure (be careful jamming this into overhead compartments on your next flight). The lid also features an attractive matte black paint job with black pinstriping done in glossy paint. This makes fingerprint smudges far less visible than what we see on laptop lids with glossy paint jobs. Opening up the screen, the hinges have enough tension to hold the screen in place when it's motionless but not enough tension to hold the screen in place when you're carrying it around. The rest of the body of the notebook seems to be well designed with minimal chassis flex and no obvious creaks from the plastics.
One area of the design that will probably get a mixed reception is the bottom of the notebook. HP decided to give the new dm1 a clean look with a single massive bottom plate secured by screws that are hidden beneath the foot pads. At first glance there is no expansion bay access panel here and no way to quickly upgrade the RAM or replace the hard drive. Granted, the overwhelming majority of people who buy a $450 laptop will never open it up to make upgrades. However, if you remove the battery, slide the battery release switch again and pull forward on the bottom plate, the entire bottom of the notebook will slide forward giving you access to the RAM, hard drive and wireless cards. I just wish this was a little more obvious for owners who want to upgrade the notebook themselves.
Ports and Features
Port selection on the HP Pavilion dm1z is fairly standard for a modern netbook or 11-inch ultraportable notebook. HP gives you three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI-out, VGA, Gigabit LAN (hidden behind a rubber door), and a single audio jack for headsets, microphones or headphones. It also features a SDHC-card slot for loading images off your camera while traveling or expanding your available storage. The only port that's missing here is a USB 3.0 port. Since we're starting to see USB 3.0 on more consumer notebooks and there are many USB 3.0 external hard drives on the market, we really wish HP had found a way to put at least one USB 3.0 port on this notebook. Also, since USB 3.0 has more voltage than USB 2.0, it would mean that USB accessories and phones could be charged in half the time it takes than to charge over a USB 2.0 port. Here is a quick tour around the new Pavilion dm1:

Petite Women Fashion Deals
Petite curvaceous women definitely need to elongate their body using their clothing style for minimizing the volume. This is the general rule for the women owning this type of figure. In order to cover the faults of a figure not belonging to a tall, skinny 'giraffe' type model, you need to follow some essential tricks.
- Your aim is to elongate your body. The most frequent mistake petite women making in terms of clothing is cutting their bodies by using pieces of clothes as jackets and belts in the wrong proportions. Wearing large belts on top of pants or skirts together with blouses of different color is not the best choice as it cuts the body in two parts, drawing attention to the shortness of the figure.
- You should also avoid wearing extra fabric around the waist. You already possess a good amount of volume in this area and the last thing you need adding some more.
- A false myth is the idea that very long skirts make your legs look long. Very long, baggy skirts make your legs look shorter. Long skirts may make you look taller if they go down to the ankle level and if they are straight.
- A good trick to elongate your legs is to wear straight pants that cover your shoes. This will definitely add some extra inches to your legs.
- Mixing colors is permitted for petite women but remember that it is the monochromatic clothing that makes you look taller and slimmer.
- Avoid wearing thick fabric clothing as it adds extra weight to your figure.
- The best trick to elongate your body is to wear vertical lines patterned clothing. But keep in mind not to exaggerate as you will end up looking like a zebra. It is enough to wear a pair of jeans that have a vertical line in the seams and you will create the illusion of a taller person. Just one or two lines are enough to create this illusion. Try to avoid wearing clothing items with multiple vertical lines or mixing two garments with lines pattern.
