Soft Reset a BlackBerry Torch, Curve and Bold

noreply@blogger.com (Abdul Akbar Banwa) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:30:00 PST

A BlackBerry sometimes requires a hard reset by removing the battery and restarting the smartphone. You can also resolve some issues by using the soft reset, which is the geekier alternative.

Try it out now, here's how...

To soft reset your BlackBerry, using your QWERTY keyboard (not touch-screen), press and hold the ALT + Right SHIFT + DELETE keys.

Wait a moment while it appears to do nothing and eventually you will notice the LED turn red. Your BlackBerry will now do a soft reset without you having to take out the battery and do a manual hard reset.

How to Buy a House in Skyrim

In Skyrim, I bought a 'Breezehome' in Whiterun and it only costed me 5000 gold (+1800 gold for furnishing every room). I was only able to buy a house after completing the Jaarl's requests and becoming a Thane of Whiterun.

You will receive the Skyrim 'Citizen' achievement, worth 10 points, on Steam.

Here are more expensive homes you can own in Skyrim:

City	Name	Cost	Total Cost
Whiterun	Breezehome	5,000	6,800
Markarth	Vlindrel Hall	8,000	12,200
Riften	Honeyside	8,000	12,300
Windhelm	Hjerim	12,000	21,000
Solitude	Proudspire Manor	25,000	36,000

How To Cure The Sanguinare Vampiris Disease and Vampirism in Skyrim

noreply@blogger.com (Abdul Akbar Banwa) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:32:00 PST

image via GameSpy

Sanguinare Vampiris is the Vampirism disease in Skyrim that you could contract by fighting with two pesky vampires in the Broken Fang Cave. It can be only be cured in the first 72 hours that lead up to your character becoming a blood-sucking vampire. You gain Vampire skills like invisibility, night-vision, bloodlust, no reflection in the mirror but it becomes very annoying when everyone in Skyrim tries to kill you. If you’ve contracted the Sanguinare Vampiris disease, you have three days to get rid of it before becoming a fully-fledged vampire.

Here are two ways to cure the Vampiris Sanguinare disease: (and a third way: *spoiler* Skyrim Cheat Cures Sanguinare Vampiris

Use a common disease-curing potion.
Pay your respects at the Talos Shrines outside Whiterun and Dragonsreach, if you can find it!

If you've had the disease for more than 4 days you will become a vampire. This is evident when people annoyingly attack you on sight. You can curb these attacks by drinking the blood of a sleeping person, like a beggar. Sneak up to and interact with the sleeping person to drink their blood to revert to a level 3 vampire.

Another way to get around unharmed for a limited time is to use your vampire skills like Embrace of Shadows and Vampire Seduction.

To quit being a vampire after you've turned...

try talking to an Inn Keeper and ask about any rumours they've heard lately. They should tell you that Falion in Morthal is studying vampires. Follow up on that quest and learn the secret to becoming un-vampire.

It is said that Lycanthropy or Werewolf disease can cure you of vampirism but I am too chicken to try that 'cure'.

PS:

Remember not to overwrite your previous saved games so that you do not become stuck at a point where you can never return to your former self.
If all else fails you will need to restart your character, and that is one of the worst Skyrim experiences ever!

How else can you be cured of the Vampiris Sanguinare disease and vampirism?
