Many coffee drinkers are familiar with coffee jitters, a nervous condition that occurs when one has had too much caffeine. Coffee can also increase blood pressure among those with high blood pressure, but follow-up studies showed that coffee still decreased the chance of dying from heart disease in the aggregate. Coffee can also cause insomnia in some, while paradoxically it helps a few sleep more soundly. It can also cause anxiety and irritability, in some with excessive coffee consumption, and some as a withdrawal symptom. There are also sex specific effects, in some PMS sufferers it increases the symptoms, and it can reduce fertility in women, also it may increase the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and there may be risks to a fetus if a pregnant woman drinks 8 or more cups a day (48 oz or more).

iPod mini was initially available in five colors: silver, gold, blue, pink, and green. Silver models have sold best, followed by blue ones. iPod mini has largely the same feature set as the full-sized iPod, but lacks support for some third-party accessories. Its smaller display has one less line than previous models, limiting the on-screen track identification to title and artist only.

Grinding: burr based with two revolving elements crushing or tearing the bean and with less risk of burning. Burr grinders can be either wheel or conical with the latter being quieter and having less chance of clogging.

Electronic coffee makers boil the water and brew the infusion with little human assistance and sometimes according to a timer. Connoisseurs shun such conveniences, which compromise the flavor of the coffee; they prefer freshly ground beans and traditional brewing techniques.

Spears took home several awards for her work on ...Baby One More Time throughout 1999, including Choice Single (...Baby One More Time) at that Summer's Teen Choice Awards, as well as four MTV Europe Music Awards, including Best Song (...Baby One More Time), Best Pop Act, Best Female Act and Breakthrough Act. In addition, she also won four Billboard Music Awards including Female Artist of the Year, New Female Artist of the Year, Hot 100 Female Artist of the Year and Album Artist of the Year (...Baby One More Time).

Battery life is heavily dependent on the game chosen; games such as Lumines are expected to greatly extend the battery life of the system, with graphically advanced games (or games that frequently access the UMD drive) such as Ridge Racers providing shorter battery life. Sony Corporation COO, Ken Kutaragi, has compared the system to the Walkman, in that battery life will be improved with each product revision, and has outlined some steps (switching to a different fabrication process, for example) which will be used to improve the system's endurance. Currently the PSP's CPU is fabricated using a 90-nm process, but Sony has 65-nm and 45-nm technology available.

In the following months, seventeen bishops who supported Nestorius's doctrine were removed from their sees, and his principal supporter, John, patriarch of Antioch succumbed to Imperial pressure around March, 433 and abandoned Nestorius.

Some parents take the view that their daughters deserve a chance to participate fully and happily in the pleasures of childhood before being led into an early emotional adolescence. There is also an open question as to whether young children are ready for the often complicated feelings that come with sexual maturity. Some parents may worry that Britney Spears provides an unrealistic role model for their daughters' life and career plans.

Recently, in July 2002, North Korea started running an experiment with capitalism in the Kaesong Industrial Region. A small number of other areas have been designated as Special Administrative Regions, including Sinuiju along the China-North Korea border. Mainland China and South Korea are the biggest trade partners of North Korea, with trade with China going up 38% to $1.02 billion in 2003, and trade with South Korea going up 12% to $724 million in 2003 since the start of the experiment. It is reported that the number of mobile phones in P'yongyang rose from only 3,000 in 2002 to approximately 20,000 during 2004.

Upon completion, the game features a rolling demo mode, where the player may watch every cut scene and codec conversation in the game, without playing through the game. There are over four hours of dialogue. The sheer amount of detail required the game to ship on two CDs.

Several commercial and free products have been created specifically to format video for the PSP. In addition to codec and aspect ratio restrictions, the files must be placed in the /MP_ROOT/100MNV01 directory on the Memory Stick, and be named in the following format M4V

There are two main species of the coffee plant; Arabica is the traditional coffee, and considered superior in flavor. Robusta, which is higher in caffeine, can be cultivated in environments where Arabica will not thrive, leading to its use as an inexpensive substitute for Arabica in many commercial coffee products. Robusta is not usually consumed by itself, due to its bitter and acidic flavor. Higher quality Robustas are used as ingredients in some espresso blends.

1997 saw the release of Final Fantasy VII. The characters and entire game world were now 3-dimensional, with fully pre-rendered backgrounds. Final Fantasy VII was also the first Final Fantasy game to use full motion video sequences, part of the reason why the game spanned a full three CD-ROMs. However, Final Fantasy VII's video often lacked consistency, with characters appearing tiny and indistinct in one scene, and ultra-detailed in the next.

However, there are often scenes where the frame rate of the animation far exceeds the norm of the rest of the work. These are commonly called money shots, where more effort is put into the animation of one scene to give it emphasis over the rest of the work. Animator Yasuo Otsuka was the pioneer of this technique.

She was born in New York, New York, the eldest of four children born to real estate mogul Richard Hilton and former actress Kathy Richards. Her sister and brothers are Nicholai Olivia Nicky Hilton, Barron Nicholas Hilton and Conrad Hughes Hilton.

Though filmmakers in Japan had been experimenting with animation beforehand, the first widely popular anime series was Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy in 1963. During the 1970s, anime developed further, separating itself from its Western roots, and developing unique genres such as mecha. Notable shows in this period include Lupin III and Mazinger Z.

Originally, Final Fantasy II and III for the Famicom and V for the Super Famicom were not released in America, so Square of America decided to change the numbers of the US releases to hide this fact. Final Fantasy IV became II and VI became III. Starting with Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation, it was decided to drop the pretense and refer to all subsequent games by their true numbering, leading to an apparent jump over 3 games. This has been a source of endless confusion, with many American fans continuing to refer to this day to IV and VI by the original American numbers. To solve this, many fans use the disambiguating suffixes us and j for American numbering and Japanese numbering respectively, e.g. FF3us or FF6j.

While consistently ranked in the top 20 in the WTA tour rankings, she never won a professional singles tournament (though she made the semi-finals and finals of many). Her serve was notably weak for a top-level tennis player but her variety of shots delighted the pure tennis fan. Now she is perhaps more famous for her beauty than for her tennis skills.

During 2000, Spears extended her wins at awards shows beginning with an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist and the Favorite Female Singer prize at that Spring's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Throughout the year, she won for Choice Female Artist and Choice Hottie Female at the Teen Choice Awards, Best-Selling Album (...Baby One More Time) at the Juno Awards and Best-Selling Female Pop Artist at the World Music Awards. At the end of the year, Spears took home two Billboard Music Awards for Album Artist of the Year (Oops!... I Did It Again) and a special award for Highest One-Week Female Artist Album Sales in History (Oops!... I Did It Again).

North Korea's government is dominated by the communist Korean Workers' Party (KWP), to which all government officials belong. Minor political parties exist, but not in opposition to KWP-rule. In practice the exact power structure of the country is somewhat unclear.

There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker... Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kindhearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a 'flush'. It is enough to make one ashamed of one's species.

In 1992, Electra moved to Los Angeles and within one week met singer Prince. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Paisley Park Records, Prince's company: the start of a short-lived and unsuccessful singing career.

Her sister, Haylie Duff, has been trying to sing, too. Hilary has helped her with duet songs including Our Lips Are Sealed which have been successful in the United States and in other countries, including Mexico and Colombia.

A handful of titles, including three U.S. launch games and an as-of-yet untitled MMORPG, have been announced which use this wireless network functionality. Packet tunneling systems are in development by third-parties which allow any Wi-fi game to operate across the Internet (see external links, below).

The PSP's main menu interface is the XMB ("Cross Media Bar") used by recent Sony TVs and the PSX hardware. It consists of a horizontal sequence of icons (Settings,Video, Music, Photo, Games) which when highlighted show a vertical sequence of sub-icons (for example, selecting Games allows the memory stick or a UMD to be selected).
