T-intersections are where two hallways intersect and there are two separate corners to clear, neither of which grants better cover than the other. You essentially have double the space to clear, and several blind-spots further down either side of the uncleared hallway. The reasons behind this will be explained in detail later. The number one rule here is to not break the plane created by the intersecting hallway. Still, you want to see as much as you can before you commit to entering the hallway. Make sure nothing is an immediate danger. Again, crossing the plane created by the intersecting hallway telegraphs your presence to a possible intruder. Now that you have cleared as much as you can without crossing the line, you must break through the plane. Enter to the right. The reason the order of the side is important is because you can turn faster toward your support side than your firing side. If someone ends up being in the corner to your left, you can, more quickly, spin to your left than your right. This is all assuming you are right-handed. Everything should be flipped if you are left handed. Go through diagonally, spotting the corner you are heading toward, and a look over your shoulder to the other corner. View the images to the right for visual representations.

Summary: Know what makes T-intersections especially dangerous. Start on the right side of the hallway when approaching a T-intersections. Keep an eye on the right corner as you make your way toward it. Clear the left corner as you would any corner, but do not place any part of your body past where the wall ends. Step back and to the left once you've gotten a view of the left corner. Clear the right corner the same way you did the left corner. Decide to enter. Proceed in a fashion similar to a door.

Activate the amp like you normally would and note what happens. No matter what type of amp you have, something is supposed to change when you hit the on switch and turn up the volume. A lot of amps have power lights that activate when the amp is live. Also, listen for any noises the amp makes, since that could also help you determine the source of the problem. Car amps, for example, often have a green power LED light and a red "protect" light. The protect light often means a blown fuse, so you know to check the wiring when you see it. Go over all the wires, double-checking that they are plugged in correctly. If the amp doesn't activate at all when you turn it on, the problem could have to do with the power supply. Sometimes you have to contend with a loose cord, which is a very easy fix to make. Wiggle the wires, testing them to see if they are in place and cause the amp to activate at all. Car amps, for instance, often have a red power wire and a black ground wire. It also has a blue remote turn-on wire that powers the amp when you turn on your vehicle. If your amp plugs into the wall, test the power cord. Also, make sure your guitar, speakers, subwoofers, and other devices are connected to the amp if you're using them. So your amp turns on, which is a plus, but it doesn't sound right. Sound distortion can be caused by a few different issues depending on what kind of amp you have. It is often from loose wires, but it could also be your overall setup. Sometimes replacing the wires, fixing the amp's components, or changing your setup suddenly makes everything better. If you don't hear any sound but know your amp is on, the wiring is likely the culprit. Moving the wires may give you a burst of sound. You may also need to detach speakers or other devices overpowering the amp.

Summary: Look for lights indicating that the amp is turned on. Check the wiring to make sure the amp is plugged in. Test the sound quality on the amp to pick up unusual noises.

Some sites will allow you to choose a custom domain; if you take this route, avoid choosing a long domain, as people might not want to type out a long address. Domains like "@gmail.com" or "@yahoo.com" are short, popular, and easy to remember. . When you're ready, visit an email client, click whichever variation of "create an account" you find, and proceed to create your very own cool email address. Type the email address you decided on into the proper "username" or "login name" field.

Summary: Ask somebody for help. Choose a domain host. Sign up for an email account
