INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All citizens of the United States aged 16 years and older must travel with a passport, passport card, Enhanced Driver's License or Enhanced ID Card (EDL/ID) to meet requirements for crossing the border to and from Canada. Bring proof of citizenship (like a birth certificate) in case you are asked for additional documentation. Permanent residents of Canada or the U.S. need to bring their Permanent Resident Cards. International travelers who are not citizens of the United States or Canada are required to have a passport and possibly a visa when entering Canada. Find out from your home country if a visa will be required. In anticipation of passport processing times, apply for your passport several months before your trip. Passport applications can be completed online and printed, or you can obtain one from a United States post office that has passport acceptance services. If you need to expedite your passport, you can request and pay for a faster application processing service. You can only complete your passport application online and then print it out for submission. You currently cannot apply for a passport online. Children aged 15 years or younger can cross by presenting proof of citizenship, such as a U.S. birth certificate, without a photo ID. The same goes for children aged 16-18 years old who are traveling with an organized school or other youth group (including religious youth groups). Valid proofs of citizenship for minors are a U.S. birth certificate (original, photocopy, or certified copy), a U.S. consular report of birth abroad, and a Certificate of U.S. Naturalization. Children (under 18) traveling without both parents should carry a parental consent letter. Ideally, this letter should be notarized. Dogs and cats that are older than three months will need signed and dated rabies vaccination certificates from a veterinarian. These certificates are usually valid for 1-3 years after obtaining them. Service dogs are exempt from these rules as long as they are accompanied by their owners. The rules about crossing with pets other than cats and dogs vary. Contact CFIA for details prior to your trip.

SUMMARY: Meet the ID requirements. Apply for a passport early. Bring a birth certificate if you are traveling with a minor. Obtain a rabies vaccination certificate if you are traveling with your pet.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's not enough to write in your goal journal every day. While the act of writing itself has benefits, you also need to read over those entries on a regular basis if you want to track your progress. By going back over your entries, you may be able to identify patterns in your behavior that you didn't notice before. You can see how your work towards this goal is impacting other areas of your life. Set aside additional time at the end of each week to go through your entries for that week just a couple of minutes is all it should take. Then at the end of each month, read over all of your entries for that month. You may want to leave extra space in your journal for thoughts or reflections on your progress at the end of each month. You want your goal journal to exist as a permanent record of your progress towards your goal. As you're reviewing your entries, clean up any mistakes and clarify sloppy writing. You may want to do your initial journaling in a notebook, then copy your entries once a week into a clean computer file. The act of copying your entries also will help you review them and notice patterns emerging in your behavior. Your goal journal may include discussions of sensitive situations, or reveal intimate details about your life. Keep your goal journal safe from prying eyes by hiding it in a secret location or in a locked drawer. You need to be able to be 100 percent open and honest in your goal journal. You may be less inclined to do that if you are afraid someone else will be able to read it. If you're keeping your journal on your computer, you may want to password protect or encrypt the file so that anyone who accesses your computer won't be able to look at the document. Your goal journal is a record of your progress towards your goal. Even after you've achieved your goal, the journal has information that can help you if you decide to go after a different goal. Looking back over your accomplishments also can be motivating. If you have a goal you achieved, you can read back through your goal journal when you're feeling a little down to remind yourself of how far you've come. If you're keeping a notebook as your journal, you may want to make a computer file each month, or once you've achieved your goal, to keep as a permanent record. You can either scan the pages or retype them from the words you wrote.

SUMMARY: Review your entries regularly. Update and rewrite illegible entries. Protect your privacy by locking away your journal. Keep your journals indefinitely.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Check all product labels for safety instructions before you begin. Gloves, work clothing, and protective eyewear are all recommended. If you have single cracks less than " (6mm) wide, use asphalt crack filler. Check the label for application instructions or apply as follows: Shake the bottle to mix the product evenly. Cut off the top of the nozzle so the opening is narrower than the crack. (If there is no nozzle, load the product into an asphalt caulk gun instead.) Squeeze the filler directly into the crack until it is flush with the driveway. Let dry for 24 hours. If the filler has sunk below the driveway surface level, apply an additional coat. Wait at least 24 hours after the final coat before walking or driving over the repair. This material is intended for "alligator scale" or "spiderweb" crack patterns, single cracks wider than " (6mm), and small depressions shallower than 2" (5cm). If the alligator cracks are severe, chunks of the asphalt may be fully separated from the driveway. You may achieve a stronger repair if you remove these entirely, then refill the hole using the pothole method above. Pour a little of the material onto the center of the damage. Spread it out with an asphalt squeegee (or an asphalt brush) until the damage is covered with to " (3 to 6 mm) of material. Check the label instructions first. Some products may need to be mixed in a bucket before application. Spread on additional alligator patching material until the cracked area or depression is level with its surroundings. For a more even transition, squeegee out a thin layer one or two feet (0.3 to 0.6m) in each direction. The material will harden over the course of a few hours, depending on climate and depth of the repair. Thick repairs may crack slightly over the course of a few days. Apply an additional thin coat if this happens.

SUMMARY:
Follow safety instructions. Fill small cracks with asphalt crack filler. Buy alligator asphalt patch for more serious cracks. Spread the alligator patching material with an asphalt squeegee. Repeat until level. Let dry. Repeat if needed. Allow 24 hours for the blacktop to dry and cure before parking or walking on the driveway.
