Fridge defrosting yields the most successful and flavorful cooked salmon. Thin salmon fillets and pieces weighing less than 1lb (0.45kg) each will take around 12 hours to defrost in the freezer. For whole fish or thick cuts weighing over 1lb (0.45kg) each, take the salmon out of the freezer 24 hours in advance. If you want to prepare your salmon fillets at 7:00 PM, take them out of the freezer first thing in the morning, at 7:00 AM. It's okay to leave thin cuts in the refrigerator overnight, but don't leave them in longer than 24 hours. So, if you want to start cooking your salmon at 4:30 PM on Tuesday, and you won't be up at 4:30 AM that morning, you can take it out of the freezer before you go to bed on Monday night. Wait around 12 hours for pieces under 1lb (0.45kg) to defrost. For larger cuts or whole fish weighing more than 1lb (0.45kg), wait around 24 hours before removing the fish from the fridge. Make sure your refrigerator is set to 40F (4C) or less. Once the fish has thawed out, it's ready to cook. Discard the paper towel, packaging, and any plastic wrap you used. Then be sure to cook the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145F (63C). Don't leave the salmon to sit out at room temperature unless you're planning to cook it right away. While it's technically safe to refreeze the uncooked salmon after you've thawed it correctly in the fridge, it will loose much of its flavor and moisture.

To ensure that you measure PEX tubing properly and cut it evenly, straighten out the tubing. Fold the tubing upward in the opposite direction that it is curling. Lay it down on a flat surface to make sure it is as straight as possible. PEX piping should never be stretched tightly between fittings. Use a measuring tape to find out exactly how much piping you need, then add about 1 inch (2.5cm). This will leave room for the flexible piping to expand and contract. Having a clearly marked cutting line will make the process of cutting your PEX tubing simple and help you avoid mistakes. After measuring your piping, draw a line to mark exactly where you want to cut. Use a pen or fine point marker to ensure that the line will not fade or wipe off before you make the cut. Place the PEX tubing into the mouth of the tool where you want it cut. Position the exact line you wish to cut through directly under the blade. Hold it firmly in place. Grip the handles of your cutter tool firmly. Squeeze them together in a strong, smooth motion so that the mouth closes on the tubing, pushing the blade down onto it. Keep squeezing until the blade goes completely though the tubing, or until you have squeezed the handles as far as they will go. If you are using a smaller PEX cutter, the first squeeze might not make a clean cut. If this is the case, stop and allow the mouth of the tool to reopen. Squeeze the cutter again and twist it downwards slightly to finish the cut.

If you live in the United States, you can check the status of a car's lien by going to your state's DMV website. You will need to know the vehicle's make, model, and vehicle identification number (VIN), which can all be found on the vehicle's registration paperwork. Though the process may vary somewhat by state, in general an inquiry will follow the same procedure. The DMV will be able to tell you the last date that a title was processed in that state, how many liens (if any) exist on the vehicle, and the name and address of each lien holder. Provide your contact information in the online form through the DMV's website. Fill in all the necessary information for the DMV to identify the vehicle. This will typically include the make, model and year of the vehicle, as well as the VIN. Save the form as a PDF or image file. Attach the form in an email and send it to the email address listed on the DMV website. Many websites, including VehicleIdentificationNumber.com and Carfax, allow you to search for lien information, using the VIN and the vehicle's make and model. Some of these websites are free, while others charge a fee. Some countries have a government-run Personal Property Securities Register, or a similar registry in place, in which security interests held in personal property (in this case, automobiles) are cataloged online and can be searched for by interested parties. If you live in a place that has such a registry, you can search online to find out whether or not the car you're buying has money owed on it. Buyers in Australia and New Zealand can go to http://www.ppsr.govt.nz/cms and click "search." Buyers can also have search results texted to a mobile phone for a $3 service fee. HPI is a company that checks vehicle registrations to verify the histories of used cars. HPI Checks can tell potential buyers if a car has outstanding finance owed on it, as well as whether the vehicle is stolen or has altered mileage. HPI Checks are not free, but can provide peace of mind when it comes to buying a used vehicle. In some countries, a car owner must show potential buyers a copy of an official certificate of registration, which can only be had if there are no debts owed on the car. In other countries, the automobile's title will reflect that the bank has liens on the vehicle, indicating that the seller has outstanding loans with a financial institution.
