Lazy Registration
From Ajax Patterns
There's an archived version of this pattern available, taken from the Ajax Pattern book draft, showing roughly how it appeared before the page became publicly editable.
Evidence: 1/3
Tags: Account Authentication Customisation Customization Incremental Login Password Personalisation Personalization Profiling Registration User Verification
In A Blink
User interacts with E-Commerce site, then logs in later.
Goal Story
It's Saturday afternoon, and Stuart is busy planning the evening's activities. He visits a band listings website, where he clicks on a map to zoom into his local area. Even though he's never visited the site before, a profile is already being constructed, which he can see on the top of the site. At this stage, the profile guesses at his location based on his actions so far. As he browses some of the jazz bands, the profile starts to show an increasing preference for jazz bands, and some of the ads reflect that. Since the jazz thing is a one-off idea, he goes into his profile and tweaks some of those genre preferences, but leaves the location alone as that was correctly guessed. Finally, he decides to make a booking, at which point he establishes a password for future access to the same profile and also his address, which is posted back to the profile.
How can the user customize the site, while deferring formal registration?
- Public websites thrive on registered users. Registered users receive personalised content, which means the website is able to deliver greater value per user. And registered users can also receive more focused advertising material.
- For non-public websites, such as extranets used by external customers, registration may be a necessity.
- Most users don't like giving their personal information to a web server. They have concerns about their own privacy and the security of the information. Furthermore, the registration process is often time-consuming.
- Many users spend time familiarising themselves with a site before registering. In some cases, a user might interact with a site for years before formally establishing an account. There is a lot of valuable information that can be gained from this interaction, which will benefit both the website owner and the user.
- Users may be willing to provide some information about themselves in order to access a service, but not all the information the system can potentially store.
Accumulate bits of information about the user as they interact, with formal registration occurring later on. As soon as the user visits the website, a user account is immediately created for them, with auto-generated ID, and set in a cookie which will remain in the browser. It doesn't matter if they never return—unused IDs can be cleared after a few months.
As the user interacts with the application, the account accumulates data. In many cases, the data is explicitly contributed by the user, and it's advisable to expose this kind of information so the user can actually populate it. In this way, the initial profile may be seen as a structure with lots of holes. As the user interacts with the system, some parts of the structure are filled in automatically and others are added by the user themselves. The user is also free to correct any of the filled-in data at any time.
Two particularly notable "holes" are a unique user identifier and a password. It is this combination of attributes that allows the user to access the profile afterwards from another machine or a different browser. They will also allow the profile to survive any deletion of cookies in the user's browser. So, while the pattern is generally about gradual accumulation of profile data, there remains a significant milestone in the user-application relationship, the moment at which user ID and password are established.
Do the user ID and password have to be provided simultaneously? No, even that can be incremental, if you use a little trick: use an email address as the unique identifier. In fact, this is fairly common nowadays. Email is usually required anyway, and it's unique, so why not make it the user ID? In the context of Lazy Registration, though, there's an additional benefit: the email might be accumulated in the natural flow of events—the site might add the user to an announcements list, for example. In some cases, the email might even be verified during this process.
Sceptics may wonder why a user would want to actively work with their profile. The answer was formulated in a web usability pattern called
Determine what users consider to be a "valuable" carrot. Offer the end user a portion of that carrot before you request personal information. The content is withheld ("the stick") until the requested information is provided.
Thus, users will only enter information if there is a perceived benefit to them. There is plenty of evidence this occurs—witness the social bookmarking phenomenon, where thousands of users make public their personal links. By exposing their profile, many of those users are hoping the system will point them in the direction of related resources they haven't heard of yet. That possibility, in turn, encourages them to add even more links, so as to avoid seeing known resources appear. Admittedly, del.icio.us is a rather techno-centric community at this stage, but there is also evidence of this approach further afield, as discussed in the real-world examples.
Now, it's clear that some systems have used this pattern for years, so what does it have to do with Ajax? Lazy Registration aims for a smooth approach, where the barrier is low for each new user contribution. So you want to sign up for the website's mailing list? Great, the summary profile is already on the side menu, just make sure your email's right. See what happened? With Ajax, there's no need to break the flow. No more "Just go over there for a few minutes, then come back here, and if you're lucky, you might be looking at something similar to what you can see now." That's a big win for websites aiming to drop the barrier of registration and it's great for users too.
If some of these techniques seem underhanded, you should be aware that they are manifestations of the technology at hand. It's standard practice for websites to collect data about users. The pattern here is actually about empowering users—instead of secretly building up a corpus of data on a user, you invite them to add value to their own experience by contributing the data themselves.
The following technologies are involved in implementing Lazy Registration:
- Database: You clearly need a persistent data store in order to capture user profiles and associate them with the session ID that's stored.
- XMLHttpRequest: Judicious use of XMLHttpRequest Calls are the key to the smooth interaction mode which you are seeking to achieve with this pattern.
- Cookie Manipulation and Session Tracking: A cookie must reside in the user's browser, associated with your domain and identifying a unique session ID, which can serve as a key on the server-side to locate details about the user each time they access the website.
What kind of data will the profile contain?
Usability and functionality concerns will drive decisions on what data is accumulated. By envisioning how users will interact with the website, you can decide what kind of data must be there to support the interaction. For example:
- Do you want to provide localised ads? You'll need to know where the user lives.
- Do you want to use collaborative filtering? You'll need to capture the user's preferences.
In addition, consider that some Ajax applications are used all day long by users, such as employees working on an intranet website. For that reason, the profile might also contain preferences similar to those on conventional desktop applications. Many options will be application-specific, but a few generic examples include:
- Enabling and disabling visual effects, such as One-Second Spotlight.
- Setting Heartbeat-related parameters, e.g. how long will timeout be, will the system prompt the user when it's coming up.
- Customising Status Area display.
No question about it, many companies like to accumulate as much data as they can get their hands on. Especially so in an economy where storage is trivially cheap. When a company is acquired, you can see tangible evidence that such data is worth something to someone. It's naïve to assume that usability concerns are all that drive data collection, however, it's important to be aware that laws and regulations apply, as should ethical standards.
How can the profile be accumulated?
You might know what data you need, but are users willing to give it to you? This comes back to the carrot-and-stick argument: you need to provide users a service that will make it worthwhile for them to provide that data. In addition, you need to communicate the benefit, and you must be able to assure them that the data will be safe and secure.
The least imaginitive way to gain user data is to pay them for it, or more deviously, pay others for it. Giving away a CD in exchange for data was well and dandy during the dotcom boom, but you'll have to do better than that today. Give the user a service they really need. For example:
- If you want the user to provide their address, provide localised search features.
- If you want the user to rate your product, provide recommendations based on their ratings.
How much data should be stored in cookies?
One special concern is the security of cookies. If users access the application from a public PC, there's the risk of unauthorised access. In this case, it's especially advisable not to store sensitive information in the browser and offer the possibility of cleaning cookies at the end of the session. (For example, the "I'm on a public terminal" option.)
Real-World Examples
Amazon has recently begun incorporating Ajaxian techniques, but was relying on Lazy Registration a long time prior. Visit Amazon as a new user, browse for just a few seconds, and here's what you'll see before even beginning to register or log in:
- Shopping cart, which you can add items to.
- Recently Viewed Items
- Page You Made - showing recent views and books related to those.
- Ability to update your history, by deleting items you viewed.
- Ability to turn off "Page You Made".
- Ability to search for a friend's public wishlist.
Kayak is a travel search engine which retains queries you've made. A query is history is available for non-registered users, and it becomes part of your profile once registered.
Palmsphere showcases Palm applications for download and purchase. Each item has a "Favourite" button—if checked, the item is one of your "Favourites". The Favourites list is summarised in your "Member Center" area, even if you've never registered, and retained in a cookie for the next time you visit.
View Madgex Lazy Registration Demo Madgex is a whitelabel job board platform provider, used on about 150 job boards world wide. The new version of their platform provides lazy registration facilities, allowing job seekers to set up email alerts, apply for jobs, save their CV and save their cover letter without having to set up a password. When they choose to register, all the collected information and settings are revealed to them.
Code Examples
Ajax Shop Demo
The Ajax Shop Demo illustrates the kind of user-interface described by this pattern.
Running the demo, you'll notice a few things:
- After the page initially loads, everything runs smoothly within the browser.
- You can add items to your cart before registering.
- The application guesses your favourite category by watching what you're looking at. If you prefer, you can override the application's guess, and the appliction will no longer attempt to adjust it.
- By offering you the ability to send the cart contents to your email address, the application provides an incentive to add your email to the profile, without actually registering yet.
- The password and email verification process itself is unintrusive - the main flow of the site is uninterrupted. Even while you're waiting for verification mail, you can continue to play around with the main content.
To keep things simple, it doesn't actually use a persistent data store—all information is held in the session. That's definitely not advisable for a real system, because you don't want to store passwords and other sensitive data there. Also, it means the user in theory could bypass the email verification by inspecting the cookie. Nevertheless, the application demonstrates lazy registration from the user's perspective, and the underlying code provides some illustration of what's required to develop such an application.
Here, I'll point out how a few of the features were achieved.
Retrieval of Categories and Items
The application maintains the flow by avoiding any page reloads when categories and items are accessed. No information about categories or items are hard-coded; generic REST services are used to extract the data, and its rendered locally in JavaScript.
Cart Management
Again, the only real relevance of cart management is that page reloads are avoided. The cart contents are tracked in the session, so they should be present when the user resumes using the website. When the user adds something to the cart, the JavaScript cart is not directly altered. Instead, the new item is posted to the server as XML:
function onAddItemClicked(item) { var vars = { command: 'add', item: item } ajaxCaller.postForXML("cart.phtml", vars, onCartResponse); }
Likewise, when the cart is cleared:
function onCartClearClicked() { var vars = { command: 'clear' } ajaxCaller.postForXML("cart.phtml", vars, onCartResponse); }
For both operations, the server retrieves the session cart and alters its state:
$cart = $_SESSION['cart']; if (isset($_POST["command"])) { if ($_POST["command"] == "add") { $cart->add($_POST["item"]); } else if ($_POST["command"] == "clear") { $cart->clear(); } }
Then, the server outputs the final state as an XML response.
header("Content-type: text/xml"); echo "<cart>"; $contents = $cart->getContents(); foreach ($contents as $itemName => $val) { echo "<item>"; echo "<name>$itemName</name>"; echo "<amount>$val</amount>"; echo "</item>"; } echo "</cart>";
In the browser, onCartResponse is registered to render the cart based on the resulting XML.
Mailing Cart Contents
Along with several other fields, the profile block contains the user's email. There is also a clickable "Mail" field on the cart.

Email:
 <input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
 ... Mail Contents ... $("cartMail").onclick = onCartMailClicked;
When the user clicks on cartMail, the server checks that the email has been filled in, and simply uploads a POST message for the mail to occur. In this case, there's no feedback to the web user, so the callback function is blank.
vars = { command: "mailCart", email: email } ajaxCaller.postForPlainText("cart.phtml", vars, function() {});
The server receives not only the command, but the email itself, since this might not yet be in the user's profile. Just prior to sending the mail, the server retains the email as part of the user's session. (Again, this is a simplification, because retaining the email would not be necessary—or desirable—if the user was already logged in.)
function mailCart() { ... $email = $_POST["email"]; // Add mail to the profile - it's part of the lazy registration. $_SESSION['email'] = $email; ... }
After that, it's a simple matter of constructing a message from the server-side cart state and sending the email to the specified address using standard server-side libraries.
Tracking Favourite Categories
Firstly, there is a fixed "favourite category" selector in the HTML. It begins empty and is populated when the categories are loaded.

 My Best Category: <select id="favouriteCategory"></select>
 function onAllCategoriesResponse(xml, ignoredHeaders, ignoredContext) { ... categoryExplores[category] = 0; favouriteCategoryOption = document.createElement("option"); favouriteCategoryOption.text = favouriteCategoryOption.value = category; try { $("favouriteCategory").add(favouriteCategoryOption, null); // FF } catch(ex) { $("favouriteCategory").add(category); // IE } ... }
There's also a JavaScript-based mode to indicate whether the favourite category selection is automated or not. It begins in automated mode.
var isFavouriteCategoryAutomated = true;
If in automated mode, the script watches each time the user explores an item. Each cateogory is tracked according to how many times the item was explored, the selector being altered if a new maximum is reached.
var categoryExplores = new Array(); ... function onExploreClicked(category) { ... if (isFavouriteCategoryAutomated) { categoryExplores[category]++; favouriteCategory = $("favouriteCategory").value; favouriteCategoryExplores = categoryExplores[favouriteCategory]; if (categoryExplores[category] > favouriteCategoryExplores) { $("favouriteCategory").value = category; } } }
As soon as the user decides to overwrite this guesstimate by manually setting the preference, it stays manual forever.
$("favouriteCategory").onclick = function() { isFavouriteCategoryAutomated = false; }
For the sake of simplicity, this field is not actually tracked in the server, though it could easily be persisted as part of the user's profile.
Verifying Password and Email
Now for the most important part. The user's finally willing to verify password and email. These could potentially be broken into two separate verification activities, but they both fit together as a formal registration step, so they are combined in the demo.
The trick is to manage the process with a little state transition logic. The registration is broken into a few states, with transitions between them. Each state requires handling events in a slightly different way. Each transition involves altering the UI a little to reflect what the user can do. Refer to Gamma et al's (1995) State Pattern for more details on this approach.
registerState holds the current state:
/* "start": When page is loaded "mustSendMail": When instructions and verify password field shown "mustVerifySecretNumber": When email sent and user must enter secret number inside email "verified": When user is successfully logged in */ var registerState = "start";
The HTML for this demo contains all the necessary fields and buttons, their visibility toggled based on the current state. For example, following are the password and password verification fields. The password field is always shown until the user is at "verified" stage, while the "verify password" field is only shown after the user initiates the registration process.

Password:
 <input type="password" id="password" name="password" />

Demo Registration

 1. Please ensure email address is correct and password is not confidential, then verify your password below.

Verify Password:
 <input id="verifyPassword" type="password" name="verifyPassword" />

All three buttons are declared, and again, their visibility will change depending on current state.
<input type="button" id="login" value="Login" /> <input type="button" id="register" value="Register" /> <input type="button" id="cancel" value="Cancel" />
The login button is only for demonstration purposes and the cancel button resumes the state back to "start", which causes the display to return to its initial state, too. What's most important here is the "Register" button, which drives the process through each state. While the button's label is changed to reflect the action being performed at each state, it is always present until the user is verified. For this reason, its event handler remains the same and decides what to do based on the current state:
function onRegisterClicked() { if (registerState=="start") { registerState = "mustSendMail"; } else if (registerState=="mustSendMail") { var submissionOK = sendMail(); if (submissionOK) { registerState = "mustVerifySecretNumber"; } else { return; } } else if (registerState=="mustVerifySecretNumber") { verifySecretNumber(); } onRegistrationStateChanged(); }
And onRegistrationStateChanged() purely exists to reveal and hide fields, and change the button label, based on the current state:
function onRegistrationStateChanged() { if (registerState=="start") { $("userForm").reset(); $("login").style.display = "inline"; $("verifyPasswordInfo").style.display = "none"; $("secretNumberInfo").style.display = "none"; $("verifiedInfo").style.display="none"; $("cancel").style.display = "none"; $("register").value="Register"; } else if (registerState=="mustSendMail") { ... } else if (registerState=="mustVerifySecretNumber") { ... } else if (registerState=="verified") { ... }
An alternative design might actually manipulate the DOM itself, adding and removing the elements. Or it might generate the specific HTML for the form at each stage. However, relying on the state pattern for this process makes it easy to quickly alter the flow and appearance of the registration process.
Related Patterns
Direct Login
Direct Login is a companion pattern, since some dynamic behaviour can allow for login and registration to appear on the same form.
Live Form
It's useful to maintain the profile details in a Live Form, so the user can easily add to them and the server can synchronise state and provide opportunities for further enhancement to the profile.
Where data is held in cookies, it's a good idea to expire them if there is a risk that others may gain access to the browser. Heartbeat helps the server decide if the client is actually active. If not, it may be wise to ensure any sensitive data is wiped from cookies held in the browser.
Lazy Registration can sometimes involve inferring information about the user's profile by monitoring their behaviour. Thus, it embraces the same fuzzy principles as Guesstimate, where a guess is acknowledged to be imprecise, but better than no guess.
Visual Metaphor
A good salesman works the same way. While assumptions might be made based on a prospect's behavior, the salesman is always listening and those assumptions are open to challenge. (Malcolm Gladwell detailed this pattern of successful salespeople in Blink.)

The Talon series by Osprey has taken the lightweight pack market by storm over the past few seasons. The 44 builds on the idea that all Talons should be lightweight but strong multi purpose mountain packs. The biggest capacity of all the Talons puts the 44 firmly in the lightweight backpacking league, as well as being a great day pack. The combination of the floating lid and the flexible fabric in the packs body means you really can stuff equipment into the Talon 44 and it just keeps swallowing it. An lightweight aluminium frame surrounds the mesh covered back system for extra support when carrying heavier loads. A front stretch pocket is great swallows more gear and hipbelt pockets are really easy to use for on the go storage. Twin ice axe loops provide winter alpine tool storage.

Never ones to fear a little change (it's a good thing, right?), we're definitely relating to the vibe of the latest photos from Brook&Lyn. New York designer Mimi Jung, who just made her switch to the West Coast, embraces her new home and plays with two sides of the spectrum — not just in geography — as she presents her newest collection.The Big Apple transplant has created a simplistic collection of hard-edge jewelry called Medaled, and tapped into the talents of one of her coolest neighbors. Stop It Right Now — as in the site, and not just our reaction to the rad gold-plated brass and leather necklaces — creator Jayne Min was called in to style the collection, which Jung then photographed. Mastering another mix of stark contrasts, the necklaces and bracelets were worn by a fair, platinum blonde with a penchant for hiding among the dark shadows. The gray concrete backdrop plays well with the boxy silhouettes of Min's stylings and a few streams of light that perfectly highlight Brook&Lyn's minimal, yet quite beautiful, pieces. Peep the latest designer-meets-blogger, industrial-meets-beauty shots, ahead.

Click here to read the referee's report.
The Huron school board wrongfully fired superintendent Fred Fox, according to an Ohio Department of Education hearing officer.
Board members received a report Monday recommending they reinstate Fox with full back pay, a move that could cost the district $100,000 or more if approved.
School officials refused to release the report, contending it was not a public record, but Fox's attorney, Patrick Murray, provided the Register a copy.
In the 53-page report, state hearing officer Harry Taich said the school board failed to provide "substantial, reliable and probative evidence" to terminate Fox last year.
"In my opinion, after hearing all of the testimony in this matter, it was quite apparent to this referee that personal feelings appeared to replace sound judgment," Taich stated in the report.
In June, the board voted 3-2 to fire Fox for his alleged misdeeds, including an improper business relationship with a district vendor, improperly seeking reimbursements for a trip to Arizona and an extramarital affair on school time.
The board contended the behavior was detrimental to Huron Schools, but Taich said this wasn't the case.
"The district failed to establish by credible evidence that Mr. Fox's inappropriate relationship with the other school district principal hampered his effectiveness as a superintendent," the report stated. "On the contrary, the overwhelming evidence did establish that the district has thrived under his leadership."
The board is expected to take action on Fox's termination at its monthly meeting next week. An executive session to review the state's recommendation is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, with no action planned until the regular board meeting three days later.
Board members Kevin Asher and John Caporini, who voted against Fox's firing, said at last month's meeting they would vote in favor of the state's recommendation — no matter what it said.
After reading Taich's report, Asher said he hopes the entire board will do the same and "move on." He encouraged community members to attend Tuesday's meeting to voice their opinions on the matter.
"We have budget issues, negotiations with our classified staff union and more important things to be worrying about than this nonsense," Asher said. "This has taken a year away from us doing the job we were elected to do. We need to get back to the business of this school."
Board president Scott Slocum and board member Tim Sowecke did not return calls seeking comment Monday.

I think there are too many particles
cannot run the game, says unity update error - installed version (3428002) is less than required version (3428003). I then installed the latest version via the manual install link, but error stays the same. Maybe the version you require is not yet available for Win7 64bit.
edit: gameplay in the trailer looks unbalanced - no chances to reload in time.
First time I tried to play, I clicked the button to close the Kong Ad and browser crashed. Guess that's not your fault.
Then I tried again and got into the game. Great! Only trouble is, I clicked play and it then sat on the loading screen for a good 3 mins, after which I just closed it. I think it's unlikely this is just asset bundle downloading speeds, since I normally get a good 500kb/sec download speed from Kong's CDNs.
EDIT: Played third time and it worked okay with no wait on the loading screen. Guess if you are downloading stuff whatever it was got cached the first time around. But still, seems like there is some kind of issue there, doesn't feel like normal Unity web player weirdness to me.

@Ulnari - Odd I'm using Win7 and it's working fine for me? The gameplay trailer is later on in the game but good point, I need to work on that!
@Nexic - OK That could be a problem with the way it loads the next scene, if it loses focus then it pauses. Cheers. Glad it worked third time!
Right, still lot's to work on then!
If you close down the bowser and reopen it that seems to help the version problem, at least it worked for me!
Updated the Horde Dynamics should be more fun, and allow you to get higher scores!
Changed the loading screen to show progress (only checks on progress of menu screen), note that it may take more time to download the main game screen!
Hope that helps does it work better and is it more fun?
I don't think it lost focus during the load, the screen was still animating etc.
New update with improved loading page, should solve the problem of the player clicking on play and getting locked on the loading game panel.
@electronicStar so if I reduce the number of particles and/or their size that would help?
Ulnari it looks like the problem is with Unity not providing the latest Webplayer version on the PC, whereas the development environment has the latest version!
Apologies there is a problem with Unity's Webplayer for the PC, it's not Autoupdating to the same version as the one provided by the Developement Environment!
This could explain the lack of High Scores and Play Counter going Up!
I'm hoping Unity will fix this very soon, if not I'll have to downgrade my development system and rebuild!
NB: More updates for Zombie Gnomes Attack on the drawing board!
Updated Online and Android Versions:
- New Guns, Shotgun and Sub-Machinegun!
- Faster Reload Times!
- Auto-reload on weapon change over!
I read the thread title as "Gnombie Zome Attacks", and was like "WTF!?" Having some caffeine now...

War, Drama
Decorated Iraq war hero Sgt. Brandon King makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty. Brandon tries to resume the life he left behind with the help and support of his loving family, and his best friend, Steve Shriver, who served with Brandon in Iraq. Alongside their war-time buddies, Brandon and Steve try to make peace with civilian life. Then, against Brandon's will, under a measure called "Stop Loss," the Army indefinitely extends Brandon's enlistment and forces him back to Iraq. This upends Brandon's entire world. The conflict into which he is thrown tests everything he believes in: the bond of family, the loyalty of friendship, the limits of love, and the value of honor.

Comments about Jill-e Designs E-GO Laptop Tote Bag:
My attraction to this bag was the opportunity to use it has a laptop and camera bag. I have a Nikon D7100 and a Sony Nex 7. I carry my laptop everyday and I have an extensive walk to work, so I have been looking for a bag that can accommodate both my needs that was not a roller bag (I have one of those, from Jill-e and it is very heavy, and difficult to manage). I live in a climate that can produce a lot of snow, and with a 20 minute walk from my parking lot to my office a roller bag is not feasible. In addition to my laptop I carry my Sony camera everyday because it lightweight and produces awesome photos. I have a very petite frame, 4'11', 109lbs. The length of the bag is a bit too long for me and there is no option to carry it in my hand because it is too long. I was most disappointed that to also carry the camera you would have to purchase an additional insert. The bag is very expensive, to tack on an additional $40 for the camera insert is unreasonable. Kelly Moore bags accommodate laptops and cameras in one bag by providing the removable sections. I want to carry just the one bag with both a 13" Macbook Pro or a 13" MacBook Air, at least the Sony Nex camera, my phone, keys, wallet, and lipstick. The quality of the bag is great, it is very pricey, but it depends on your desired use. I returned the bag, because it did not fit my needs.

In Memory Of Skylar
The firstborn of Sasha's Sashettes, Skylar, is now the first Sashette to be reunited with Sasha at The Bridge. And sadly, now she is living out her registered name.
As with her half sister Savanah, I knew at birth Skylar would be staying with me. While not quite as vocal as Savanah on her way into this world she was a close second, and made her arrival well known.
I made a good choice. She was stunning as a puppy, and grew into a beautiful adult. She absolutely loved the show ring and earned her Canadian Championship as a puppy in just a handful of shows, winning a Best Puppy In Show and a Best Puppy In Specialty show along the way.
In 2007 she beat her mother to win Best Of Opposite at the GRCC National Specialty. While totally shocked, I was so proud of my girl. The plan was to show her in 2008 in hopes of getting her into the Show Dog Hall of Fame. She had already picked up several points as a puppy. It was not meant to be though, as she was struck with pyometra and had an emergency spay. Taking a chance on her life was not worth the title to me.
In 2011 she was finally able to hit the show ring again as a Veteran. In May at the GRCQ Regional Specialty she won Best In Veteran Sweepstakes and then she won Best Veteran. Then in August at the GRCC and GRCGT Regional Specialties she followed in Sasha's paw prints winning back to back Best of Opposites from the Veteran class.
Skylar was obsessed with balls. Nothing made her any happier than to play ball. Her tongue could be hanging out a mile but she still wanted to keep going. She was no fool though, when the ball was put away she was smart enough to go put her front feet in the water pail. Her other love was the swimming pool. Add the ball and you had a dog in heaven.
Life was not fair to Skylar. First she had the pyometra, and then she was diagnosed with pigmentary uveitis. Then two years ago this past May she got Horner's Syndrome. Her right eye slowly sank in more and more. Then this spring she suddenly started experiencing a lot of neurological symptoms, and the right side of her head lost all the muscle mass, literally overnight her head collapsed. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor which would have caused the Horners two years ago, and was now growing to cause all the symptoms.
She was put on Dexamethasone which reversed all the neurological symptoms for a couple months, but then they slowly started creeping back as time went by. That didn't slow her down at all though. I was determined to let her live life to the fullest for the time she had left and created a bucket list for her.
She swam every two or three days. It took a lot out of her so she needed a day or two rest after swim days. She got to go for a car ride almost every day, she was happy just to go down and get the mail with me. I took her up to the GRCC and GRCGT Specialty Shows in Milton, Ontario in August so she could be in the ring one last time. While her movement was a bit off at times due to balance problems she had an absolute blast that weekend. We went down to Stowe, Vermont to meet up with Jeanne, Lino and Halo for a day and she went for a short hike and then a swim in the river there and she was so happy. I think the highlight for her though was the 4 days we spent at Camp Lucy on Lake Ossipee in New Hampshire in September. She got to go swimming in the lake at least once each day, she got to go for short walks, and there were tennis balls for her everywhere! The most important thing to her was to play ball several times each and every day. I could only throw the ball 10 to 20 feet, and only 3 or 4 throws at a time but it didn't matter to her. And the times when she lost her balance and fell made me want to cry, but she picked herself up and kept going.
We went thru several different new normals for her over the past almost 6 months. We both adapted to them each time. She never lost that intense look in her eyes through this whole ordeal, not until Sunday. While she was able to walk outside that morning, by night time she was basically paralyzed on one side of her body. So I knew I had no choice but to let her go to The Bridge. Her quality of life no longer existed. How could this happen so fast? While we had no idea what her future would be when this started, I certainly didn't expect this. I was so sure she would celebrate her 9th birthday just a month from now.
I cooked some liver for her on Sunday afternoon and she had several snacks thru the evening. Monday morning she finished up the liver and I cooked a steak for her which she loved. While she could no longer hold her beloved ball in her mouth, I gave her the small tennis ball that was her "bait" in the show ring, and she was able to hold that. She very peacefully left the world at 11:30 am with that ball in her mouth and her head on my leg.
I woke up at 7:00 this morning as I have been doing the past several months, but there was no Skylar to give pills to, or take out to pee. No reason to get up this morning. And no Skylar following me around the house, or telling me one of the other dogs stole her ball from her, or pushing out the door first because I wasn't going anywhere without her.
I love you Skylar, and I miss you so much already. You were a great dog and I was lucky to have you in my life.
"See You Again" by Carrie Underwood
Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun,
Slipped away
But I won't cry
Cause I know I'll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me,
You are the light I follow
I'll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
Calling me back in time
Back to you
In a place far away
Where the water meets the sky
The thought of it makes me smile
You are my tomorrow
I'll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know
I'll see you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, yeah yeah
I'll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
Till I see you again,
Till I see you again,
Said goodbye turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone.

One of France's best kept skiing secrets, La Tania lies between Courchevel and Meribel in the extensive Three Valleys ski area. Purpose-built in 1992 for the Winter Olympics, this pretty little resort has been sympathetically constructed using natural materials. Families love the village as it is much quieter than its more well-known neighbours, with chalets nestled amongst the trees and a fully pedestrianised centre with a selection of bars, restaurants and shops as well as a cinema. A free bus service links La Tania with Courchevel 1850 during the day, although skiers will prefer to take the gondola straight up to the ski area.
Having been pretty much purpose built in 1992 for the Winter Olympics you're just two lifts away from Courchevel and Meribel, in either direction, and the fast new telecabine swiftly transports you to the heart of the 3 valleys, with access to over 600kms of runs. The resort centre is a car-free zone, and the nightlife for ski holidays in La Tania is quieter than it's busy neighbours of Courchevel and Meribel, but with a friendly and 'petite' ambience, there are various bars and bistros in and around the village.
La Tania is a great little resort. Very compact and not a huge amount to do but there are bars to suit all taste... read full
LA Tania is a great little place to access the 3 valleys area. Red, blue and green runs return to the resort so... read full
For beginners on ski holidays in La Tania, the nursery slopes have a free lift, so total novices needn't buy a lift pass for the first couple of days. Once more confident, the gentle slopes up towards Courchevel attract the more confident starters.
Intermediates on ski holidays in La Tania simply burn up miles and miles of the unbeatable terrain that comprises the Three Valleys ski area. The ultra modern gondola whisks skiers up to the Courchevel pistes, and a chairlift provides a direct link to Meribel. There are tempting reds back down to the village of La Tania at the end of the day.
Experts on ski holidays in La Tania will be tested by the severe mogul fields and a truly wicked 'Jockey's' run down to Le Praz. The off piste opportunities are endless with narrow couloirs and steep descents abundant across the entire Three Valleys area.
Our superb and centrally located La Tania apartments are just right for any skier who wants to stay as close as possible to the slopes. Browse our available accommodation now, to find the best spot in this wonderful Three Valleys resort.
You do not currently have any holidays in your shortlist.

"I was so impressed with the way Laura handled my initial call that as soon as I got home I decided to forget all of the other agents and companies and call her straight back and book the holiday. Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."

The laughter echoed down the hall, from the auditorium to the elevators. "Ho-ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Inside the auditorium Wednesday morning, 16 people clapped their hands from side to side, mirroring the instructor on stage.
They were practicing a special type of yoga called Laughter Yoga. Started by a physician in Mumbai, India, Laughter Yoga is an exercise routine that has spread to more than 60 countries. It combines playful laughter with Yogic breathing under the concept that laughter is contagious.
"Laughter really alleviates a lot of stress and anxiety and isn't harmful or judgmental in any way," said Laurel George, the instructor. "You can laugh anywhere anytime. I laugh when I wash my hair in the shower. That motion makes me laugh, and it starts the day off making me happy."
In bright blue Converse tennis shoes and a straw hat with a flower bouncing from the top of it, George told the class early on that it was time to make a mid-morning snack: milkshakes.
She held an invisible cup in her left hand. "Yoop!" she said, arching her right arm sideways over her head and then letting it fall back to her side. "Yoop!" she said again, repeating the motion with her left arm, as if she were mixing together the ingredients of a milkshake. Then leaning back, she laughed as she poured the concoction into her mouth.
The students—a mix of seniors from the community and employees—followed her lead. Their laughter grew as they watched each other, and the room quickly filled with hearty "yoops" and laughs.
Certified in 2008 by the American School of Laughter Yoga, George held her first session at Weiss during the WISE Senior Center's annual Springfest in April. She ran this most recent session for anyone interested—community members who had heard about it through the Senior Center, patients and their families who had seen fliers in the hallways, or employees who had read about it in the weekly e-newsletter.
Beverly Defries joined the session after her physical therapy appointment. She had heard about it in the WISE Senior Center but was wary at first. "I thought it was the yoga where you had to sit in different positions," she said.
However, a friend who had attended the Springfest explained the concept. "I enjoyed it a great deal," Defries said after the session. "I felt the movement and felt I was relaxing. It just took my mind completely away from everything for awhile."
And that was George's goal. "It's good for you, good for your mind. There's so much ickiness in the world, you need some laughing."
Science backs up George's assertions. In one study, researchers had children stick their hands in ice—a generally shocking and somewhat painful experience. They showed half of the children funny television shows beforehand, while the control group watched nothing.
When the time came to stick their hands in ice, one of the groups had a noticeably lesser reaction: the children who had watched comedy first. "It doesn't deaden the pain, but those kids had been laughing and experiencing joy," George said.
As the class went on, the students dangled imaginary floss through one ear, pulled it out the other and flossed their brains. They held their "paws" in the air, stuck out their tongues and roared like lions. And they fluffed each other's auras, laughing for nearly 30 minutes straight.
"I think we should breathe just a little bit now," George said. She lifted her arms, reached skyward, took a deep breath in and then exhaled, bending forward. "Get all that nasty, stale air out of there," she coached the students.
Afterward, they went into a visual meditation, and then George encouraged people to shout out whatever they were thankful for.
"I'm thankful that I don't have to take any pills," one woman yelled. "I'm 90, and I don't take any pills!"
"Yeah!" the others cheered.
"I'm thankful that I'm not at my desk," an employee called out.
George's appreciation takes form in the people right in front of her, smiling and laughing. "People are going to take this with them today wherever they go. I think that's why it's important."

After attempting to negotiate a lease renewal for more than a year, Reston�s Barnes & Noble has decided to pull up stakes and leave the area.
Barnes & Noble will vacate the 25,000-square-foot Spectrum Center shopping center facility in February and it will sit empty for several months until the Container Store moves in next fall. The accompanying Starbucks caf� also will close with the bookstore, a Barnes & Noble spokesman said.
The vacancy will leave Reston without any retail venues to purchase new books. Books-a-Million in Plaza America closed last year.
Spectrum Center is owned by a group of investors that includes Lerner Enterprises.
According to Barnes & Noble, the bookstore bent over backwards in an attempt to be able to remain in Reston but Spectrum Center�s owners were unwilling to renew the lease.
�We tried extremely hard to come to an agreement with the property owner to extend the lease at our Reston location, but despite our offering significant additional rent, the property owner was unwilling to agree to an extension,� said David Deason, vice president of development at Barnes & Noble.
But according to Spectrum Center�s owners, Barnes & Noble tried to get a rent reduction in their new lease and when they were told they were contractually obligated to pay a certain price, the bookstore decided instead to leave.
�The fact is, when the time came, Barnes & Noble chose not to exercise its option to renew its lease at Spectrum. When we contacted them about their decision not to renew, they requested a reduction in the option rent as a condition of remaining,� the center�s owners said in a statement. �We listened and engaged them in discussions for a period of more than one year, allowing them to remain in the space during such discussions despite the lease's expiration. We obviously failed to reach an agreement. ... The decision to leave at this time was made by Barnes & Noble, as they possessed the absolute right to remain at a fixed option rent that was well below market. We respect their business decision to make the choice that they apparently felt was the right approach for their company at this time.�
Barnes & Noble did not comment on how many employees at the bookstore and caf� would lose their jobs as a result of the store�s closing.
�In light of their decision, we obviously had to make choices in order to preserve the vibrant retail environment at the Spectrum for the Reston community,� Spectrum Center�s owners said concerning contracting with the Container Store to take over the retail space.
The Container Store did not immediately return emails seeking comment.
