Commonly assigned patent application Ser. No. 08/158,250, filed Nov. 29, 1993, now abandoned entitled "Multiple Wavelength, Dual Polarization Laser Diode Arrays" in the names of: D. Bour, K. Beernink and R. Thornton (XRX-142).
This invention relates to multiple-wavelength laser diode arrays having quantum well (QW) active regions.
For a laser diode with a quantum well (QW) active region, the wavelength (λ) is dependent upon the threshold current density (σ), as shown in FIG. 1. See for example, Chinn et al., IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 24, 2191 (1988) whose contents are herein incorporated by reference. Basically, as the threshold gain increases, the threshold carrier density (and therefore the threshold current) must also increase corresponding to greater filling of the states in the conduction band and the valence band. Therefore, at higher carrier densities, the spectral range over which the gain is positive extends out to higher energies. And due to the gain's spectral broadening (associated with intraband carrier scattering), the gain peak shifts with the QW carrier density to higher energy (shorter wavelength). Furthermore, when the bands fill enough so that the n=2 state begins to deliver gain, the gain at the n=2 transition wavelength can be greater than that at the n=1 (ground state) transition wavelength. This is so because the n=1 state provides gain at the (shorter) n=2 transition wavelength, which adds to the gain provided by the n=2 transition.
This bandfilling up to the n=2 state, can then lead to interesting behavior. As the gain peak blue-shifts continuously with higher carrier densities, it can additionally undergo a large and discontinuous blue-shift. Such a large shift is associated with a shift from the n=1 transition to the n=2 transition.
There is an important need in the art for a multiple wavelength laser diode array providing closely-spaced laser-emitting spots but of different wavelengths that can be optically separated, as in the optical system of certain printers. Multiple-element laser diode arrays are being developed for color and highlight-color xerography. For these applications, the emission from individual elements of the array must be easily and entirely separable, for instance through cross-polarizations or different wavelengths. Different schemes have been proposed to achieve such a structure. One such scheme using band-filling is described in Appl. Phys. Lett, 51 (21), Nov. 23, 1987, 1664-1666. In the scheme described in this publication, a graded-index waveguide separate-confinement heterostructure (GRIN SCH) comprises active regions of a single quantum well (QW) of GaAs divided into twin stripes by waveguide sections formed by Zn impurity-induced disordering. The stripes have different widths, and the generated photons spread into the Zn-disordered regions to different degrees. The high concentration of the Zn acceptors and free holes scatters the photons and thus subjects the lasing stripes of different width to different degrees of losses. As explained in the publication, one stripe can thus be caused to lase at the n=1 transition, and due to band filling, the other (narrower) stripe can be caused to lase at the n=2 transition at a shorter wavelength.
Certain disadvantages are experienced with the scheme described in the publication. One disadvantage is that it is not applicable to other kinds of diode laser geometries, such as a selectively buried ridge (SBR) waveguide laser. Secondly, the loss mechanism described for the effect desired is excessive. As noted in the publication, the threshold current for both lasers was excessive. Thirdly, no explanation is given in the publication how to apply the described scheme to a different material system, specifically the AlGaInP system which lases at wavelengths that are particularly desirable for certain printing applications.
An object of the invention is an improved multiple wavelength diode laser array.
A further object of the invention is a multiple wavelength diode laser array exhibiting lower threshold current.
Another object of the invention is a multiple wavelength diode laser array of the SBR type.
Still a further object of the invention is a multiple wavelength diode laser array in the AlGaInP material system.
A multiple-wavelength laser diode array is described having a wavelength span of several tens of nanometers, e.g., from 10-50 nm, whose total wavelength separation is achieved through band-filling of a quantum well active region. A multiple-wavelength array is formed by selectively introducing different amounts of optical loss in a controlled manner into the array elements, to affect the threshold current density. With minimum losses, the laser oscillates at a long wavelength, while an element with higher loss will undergo more bandfilling and be forced to emit at a shorter wavelength. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the structures which incorporate these additional, selective losses comprise a 2-red-wavelength AlGaInP laser array.
In such structures, the strong ridge-width and ridge-depth dependence of the fundamental mode loss can be used to shift the lasing wavelength through bandfilling. Generally, if the threshold carrier density is made larger, the lasing wavelength will be blue-shifted. A preferred embodiment of the invention is a diode laser array of the SBR type. The latter has the advantages that the technology to make such devices is very advanced and reliable, the SBR technology can readily be applied to many different material systems, and introducing the controlled loss to shift the operating wavelength does not involve a serious sacrifice in threshold current.
In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a laser array comprises side-by-side ridge lasers. One of the lasers has a higher threshold gain, for example an AlGaInP SBR with either a narrow stripe width or a shallower ridge, and is forced to emit at a shorter wavelength. Multiple-wavelength arrays can therefore be formed by varying either or both the stripe width and/or the ridge depth along the array.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the different losses are introduced by varying the total thickness of the upper cladding layer. In a preferred embodiment in accordance with this aspect of the invention, the longer wavelength laser has a relatively thicker cladding layer than that of its neighbor. Preferably, the cladding layer of the short wavelength laser is less than about 0.6 μm. As a result, the laser with the thinner cladding layer exhibits higher optical absorption arising from the closer contact layer which raises its threshold and blue-shifts its wavelength.
These and other objects and attainments together with a fuller understanding of the invention will become apparent and appreciated by referring to the following descriptions and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate by way of example and not limitation preferred embodiments of the invention and wherein like reference numerals denote like or corresponding parts.

For visible AlGaInP laser diodes, the standard index-guide is the selectively buried ridge (SBR) waveguide laser 10, illustrated in FIG. 2. See, for example, Bour et al., IEE Proceedings-J, Vol. 139, No. 1, February 1992, pgs. 71-74, whose contents are herein incorporated by reference. This structure is basically a ridge waveguide 11, with n-type GaAs (shaded) regrown wings 12 around the ridge 11. This n-GaAs 12 serves as a current blocker (confining current to the stripe 11). In addition, it introduces an optical loss (α) which selectively suppresses the oscillation of high-order modes of the lateral ridge waveguide. The loss experienced by the fundamental mode is a strong function of the ridge width (w), the lateral spacing of the ridge waveguide 11 at its line junction nearest to the active region 14. In addition, over a certain range of ridge depths, this loss also becomes smaller when the GaAs regrowth interface is closer to the active region (for small dimension h). FIG. 3 shows the stripe-width (w) dependence of fundamental mode loss (00) in a AlGaInP selectively buried ridge (SBR) waveguide laser, for two ridge depths h1 (about 100 nm) and h2 (about 200 nm). For smaller h, the lateral index guiding becomes stronger, reducing the spatial overlap with the wing regions, and thus reducing the modal loss.
The constructions of the invention take advantage of the SBR laser diode arrangement to provide side-by-side lasers in the same semiconductor body lasing, respectively, in wavelengths (λ1) and (λ2) that differ by at least 10-50 nm. Such lasers according to the invention are preferably constructed in the AlGaInP system to provide dual red light beams exhibiting acceptably low threshold currents. Moreover, novel methods for making such laser arrays are also described hereinafter.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a two-red-wavelength AlGaInP SBR laser diode array formed by changing the stripe width. One element of the array on the left, has a wide stripe, while the other on the right, has a narrower stripe. The narrow-stripe laser is more lossy, so that its threshold carrier density is elevated and its emission is blue-shifted with respect to the wider stripe laser. The remaining parts of the array are similar to that of FIG. 2 and comprise, as an example, an n-metal contact 26, n-GaAs substrate 27, a thin GaAs/GaInP buffer (not shown), n-AlGaInP lower cladding 28, an AlGaInP lower confining (barrier) layer 29, an AlGaInP active layer 30, an AlGaInP upper confining layer 31, a p-AlGaInP upper cladding 33, two flanking regrown n-GaAs blocking and guiding regions 34 for each stripe, a cap of p-GaAs 35, and separate p-metal contacts 36 and 37. A slot 38 optically and electrically isolates the lasing regions 22, 24.
The amount by which the wavelength can be blue-shifted by bandfilling is on the order of a few tens of nanometers. Thus, the largest possible wavelength difference among the elements in a two-red-laser array could be made large enough to meet the minimum requirements for printing (which presently requires about 50 nm separation, for easily distinguished beams). For best performance in a dual-red AlGaInP array, it would be best to start with a long-wavelength, 700-720 nm device with a deep, thin, biaxially-compressed QW 30. This would be the simplest structure to achieve maximum blue shifts from bandfilling because: 1) it gives the largest energy separation between the n=1 and n-2 transitions; and 2) a biaxially compressed QW maximizes the blue-shifting as the bands fill. A 50 nm blueshift pushes the wavelength down to 650-670 nm, where electron leakage is still not a serious problem. Thus, an array whose wavelengths are approximately 660 and 710 nm are the best-performing. To achieve this operation, the ridge depths, h, are for example 100-400 nm, and the ridge widths (W1 and W2) can be, for example, 4 and 7 μm, respectively.
Another example according to the invention of a two-red-wavelength array is shown in FIG. 5, an AlGaInP SBR laser diode array in which the ridge width (w) is the same but the different wavelengths are obtained by changing the ridge depth. As used herein, h, in FIG. 5, is measured from the level of the upper confining layer 31 to the bottom of the wing regions 34. Hence, an increase in h means that the wing regions 34 are not as deep and thus the ridge 44 is shallower. The shallow-ridge laser on the right (h2 is larger) is lossier, so that its threshold carrier density is elevated and its emission is blue-shifted with respect to the deeper ridge on the right (h1 is smaller). This configuration has certain advantages compared to the ridge-width variation (FIG. 4), since it is a simple matter to make the beam parameters (divergence, near-field spot size, astigmatism, etc.) similar for the two side-by-side devices. On the other hand, when the ridge width (w) is varied as in the FIG. 4 embodiment, the mode size must also follow, and therefore the lateral beam divergence will be different for the two lasers. This could complicate the array's incorporation into a printer's optical system.
So far, we have described a multiple-wavelength laser diode array, based upon the bandfilling effect associated with thin quantum well active regions. In AlGaInP red, selectively buried ridge, waveguide lasers, a nominally 710 nm laser's emission could be blue-shifted by either decreasing the ridge width or adjusting the ridge depth. In this manner, a two-red-wavelength array could be formed, with one wavelength 710 nm and the other element's wavelength shorter by a few tens of nanometers.
For a deep, thin QW, where the confined states are widely separated in energy, the range of continuous gain-peak tuning (with carrier density) can be large. Alternatively, a thicker, less deep QW is more prone to discontinuous shifts, since in this case the energy level spacings are less. In either case, the ultimate limit of the wavelength range is further determined by the maximum allowable threshold current density. Higher threshold current density will always translate into shorter wavelengths, until heating (which offsets bandfilling) becomes significant, or until the threshold becomes so high as to prevent cw operation.
The FIG. 5 embodiment also offers an important advantage in the fabrication process to obtain ridges of different depths. This is achieved using two etch-stop layers of different compositions and at different depths. After the sandwich of active region 30 and flanking confinement layers 29, 31 have been epitaxially grown, a first thin upper cladding layer 40 (of p-AlGaInP), about 100-300 nm thin is epitaxially grown, followed by epitaxially growing a first lower etch-stop layer 41, in turn followed by epitaxially growing a second thin upper cladding layer 42 about 100-200 nm thin (of p-AlGaInP), in turn followed by epitaxially growing a second upper etch-stop layer 43, and finally epitaxially growing the remainder 44 of the upper cladding layer (of p-AlGaInP). The lower etch-stop layer 41 has a composition that etches relatively slow in certain etchants in comparison with the etch rate of AlGaInP in the same etchants. Dilute hydrochloric or hydrobromic acids are suitable examples of such etchants and GaInP and AlGaAs are examples of the lower etch stop composition. The object in the fabrication of such SBR structures is to mask off the right short-λ laser, and the ridge areas 42, 44 of the left long-λ laser, and then etch recesses down to or within 200 nm or less of the upper confinement layer 31. To reach that level at the left laser, the second upper etch stop composition must also be reasonably attacked by the etchant and thus does not function as an etch stop for the first etchant though the lower etch stop must. Next, the left laser is masked off as is and the ridge 44 of the right laser, and an etchant used to remove the AlGaInP regions to the left and right of the ridge down to the upper etch stop layer 43. For this purpose, the etch stop composition can be of GaInP and will function as an etch stop for an etchant such as dilute HCl or HBr.
As an alternative process, both ridges 44 are masked off and the wing areas down to the upper etch stop 43 removed using an etchant such as dilute HCl or HBr. Next, the right short-λ laser is masked off, as well as the left ridge 44, and the exposed upper etch stop 43 on the left subjected to processing to remove it, such as by 5 H2 SO4 :H2 O2 :H2 O for an AlGaAs etch stop. Then using the same etchant as before, the etching of the AlGaInP on the left is continued until the lower etch stop 41 is reached, thus forming deeper recessed wing regions at the left. For this process, the etch stop compositions of both layers 41, 43 could be the same, for example, of AlGaAs, and the etchant of 5 H2 SO4 :H2 O2 :H2 O. Afterwards, the regrown GaAs wing regions 34 are regrown in the conventional manner. All of the layers described are single crystal layers formed epitaxially by well known methods such as MBE or OMVPE.
The scheme used in the present invention is preferably applied as noted above to SBR structures. In this structure, GaAs is regrown around the ridge in order to create a lateral waveguide. The GaAs is a relatively high-index material, and is grown close to the active region in the wings. This causes light to "leak" from the laser active region into the overlying GaAs. The properties of such a leaky mode are that it is reduced in index compared to the mode in the stripe region, thereby creating a lateral waveguide to confine light to the stripe. In addition, since the leaky mode (in the wing region) is radiating power into the GaAs, the regrown GaAs represents a large optical loss, strictly speaking, an outcoupling loss. And, the modal loss is greatest for a narrow stripe, since the evanescent tail of the mode has a greater overlap with the wing region for a narrow stripe. Consequently, the wavelength of the narrow-stripe laser (FIG. 4) is shorter than for a wide-stripe (again, due to bandfilling). Thus, a different optical loss mechanism is relied on in the invention in comparison with the structure described in the referenced Appl. Phys. Lett. publication, and the advantages over the Zn impurity-induced lateral index guided structure described in that publication have already been set forth above.
It turns out that the modal loss is also dependent upon the total thickness of the upper cladding layer, for example, 33 in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the modal loss as a function of the thickness of the p-type upper cladding layer. As will be observed as the thickness is reduced to about 0.6 μm or less, the loss greatly increases because of the band-to-band optical absorption associated with the GaAs cap layer (35 in FIG. 4). This additional absorption in a thin-cladding-layer laser causes the threshold to be increased, accompanied by a blue-shift of the lasing wavelength. This loss mechanism, therefore, can be the basis for another variant of the two-wavelength array based on the quantum well bandfilling.
One form of such an array using the effect illustrated in FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. 7 at 50. The initial epitaxial layers 28, 29, 30, 31, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 are very similar to those in FIG. 5, where two etch-stop layers 41, 43 are included in the upper cladding layer 42, 44 of the structure. In contrast to the array in FIG. 5, however, the bottom etch-stop 41 serves to define the depth to which both ridges are etched, with the bottom of the ridge the same distance from the active region 29-31 for each device. The top etch-stop layer 43 is included to facilitate thinning of one of the ridges. For example, in FIG. 7, the p-cladding layer of the right-hand laser ridge has been etched down to the top etch stop 43. Since the p-cladding layer is thinner in this device, its modal loss will be greater (see FIG. 6), leading to higher threshold current and shorter wavelength. Note that when the upper cladding 42 is thin, the p-cap 35 is located much closer to the active region, and increased optical absorption arising from the p-GaAs contact 35 raises the laser's threshold and blue shifts its wavelength.
An example fabrication procedure for the array of FIG. 7 is as follows:
1. Epitaxial wafer growth of an (AlGa)0.5 In0.5 P quantum well laser, with two etch-stops 41, 43 in the upper cladding layer 40, 42, 44. The etch stops could be, for example, thin GaAs or GaInP for the top etch stop 43 (displaced roughly 0.4-0.7 μm from the active region), and GaInP or AlGaAs (so as to be optically transparent) for the lower etch-stop 41 (0.1-0.4 μm from the active region).
2. Deposition of a dielectric etch/regrowth mask (not shown) (usually SiO2 or Si3 N4) and patterning into stripes.
3. Etching of ridges. Both ridges left and right, are etched to the bottom etch stop 41. Therefore, the etch must proceed through the top etch stop 43, and terminate at the bottom etch stop. This etching could be simplified if the top etch stop were GaAs, while the lower etch stop is GaInP (the usual case). In this case, selective etches (for example 5 H2 SO4 :H2 O2 :H2 O for AlGaAs, and HCl:3 H2 O for AlGaInP) could be used to accomplish a highly controlled etching sequence.
4. Selective growth of n-type GaAs 34 around each ridge.
5. Masking the left-hand laser (not shown).
6. Selective etching of the p-cladding layer 44 of the right-hand laser. By using a selective etch such as HCl:3 H2 O, the regrown GaAs remains intact, while etching the right-hand ridge to the top etch-stop 43.
7. Regrowth of p-type GaAs 35 over the whole wafer.
8. Etching of an isolation groove 38 between the two side-by-side laser elements of the array.
9. Metallization 26, 36, 37.
10. Cleaving, facet-coating, dicing, and packaging in the usual way.
Another, similar and functionally equivalent laser array 52 is shown in FIG. 8. In this example, each device is a bare ridge waveguide (not a selectively-buried ridge waveguide as in the previous examples). For the right-hand laser with a thin cladding layer 42, either a regrown GaAs contact layer or the contact metal itself 37, is in relatively close proximity to the active region 29, 30, 31. Consequently, the modal loss arising from GaAs cap absorption, or optical loss associated with the p-contact metal, causes the right-hand laser to have higher threshold. Subsequently, the quantum well bandfilling must necessarily decrease the lasing wavelength. To isolate the contact layers 36, 37 from the underlying semiconductor layer 40, a dielectric layer 53 of, for example, Si3 N4, SiO2, or polyimide is deposited before depositing the contact layers.
In both the FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 embodiments, the upper cladding layer 42 is kept thin enough so that the evanescent wave from the emitted laser light will reach and be absorbed by a material (semiconductor 35 in FIG. 7; metal 37 in FIG. 8) thereby increasing the modal loss sufficiently to produce the desired bandfilling effect. Thus, the invention is not limited to the specific semiconductors and metals disclosed and other materials exhibiting increased absorption for the evanescent wave can be substituted.
The invention is also not limited to the semiconductor system examples given. While AlGaInP systems are preferred, the invention is also applicable to other material systems such as AlGaAs. Also, it will be recognized that the invention is not limited to structures with single QWs but also applies to multiple QW structures. As distinguished from some other solutions to the multiple wavelength laser array problem, here the active layer compositions are the same in both lasers, and reliance is placed in the examples given on modifying the geometry of the two laser regions to reduce the ridge cross-section and thus vary the outcoupling loss to the closer regrown wing regions, cap layers or contact layers to blue shift the operating wavelength in comparison with that of the relatively larger ridge cross-section. It will also be appreciated that the invention is not limited to two side-by-side lasers but also applies to common semiconductor bodies incorporating three or more lasing regions generating radiation at two or more different wavelengths.
Not shown are the usual mirrors or facets at opposite ends of the structure to form the conventional optical cavity to support the necessary photon build-up to produce the lasing action. Further details on the manufacture of SBR type diode lasers can be found in the referenced related application and publications whose contents are incorporated herein.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, the invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

So, the appocolypse of my life has finally happened.
V's parents found out that I was staying with him in his dorm and are about ready to disinherit him if I don't leave. We are not able to get an apartment until at the very earliest, January. And I finally got kicked out of the apartment. R moved into my room and if I want to live there, I have to sleep next to K, his sister. There is no room in the place for my things. I would have no way to entertain myself either.
I was planning on going back there to escape from the drama of V's parents for a while but now I am homeless again. I can't stay in this dorm. If V gets caught with me living here, we could both get kicked out and there would be nowhere to go for him either then.
I can't go back to my parents obviously. That place would kill me. I was so sick there and my mom never even noticed that I hadn't eaten in five days or so. My mom made it clear she has no time or money to help me in any way. I can't get onto disability because I can't afford medication or doctor's appointments.
Wow, my life has really gone to hell.
On the plus side, my period finally started- TEN DAYS LATE. What a heart attack.
I don't think it has really hit yet...

so yesterday afternoon, i made a quick stop at save-on to get a few things for the mother's day dinner that i was making for my mother-in-law. i was just getting a couple things so i didn't pick up a basket. always the wrong plan when you don't get a basket because you will always get more than you expect. anyways...i always throw my wallet in my basket but because i didn't have a basket today, i had my wallet under my arm...i thought.
i get up to the till carrying a precarious tower of items and realize that i don't have my wallet. hmm...where would it be? i wait until i get up to the cashier and ask her if she could ring it all through then save the order because i think i left my wallet in the car. she does this and i run out to the car. it's not in the car.
i think...no, i wouldn't have set it down or dropped it...but i do a quick re-trace through save-on anyways.
no, of course. i just must have left it at home.
i drive home. zoom zoom.
the wallet's not at home. so i call save-on and tell them that i was just there. i'm wondering if a wallet was turned in.
"well...what's your name?" "rebecca shulba." "yeah, it's here. we've been trying to page you for half an hour..."
sigh of relief...but half an hour? c'mon. i've maybe been gone 4 minutes.
so i drive back to save-on, get my wallet, get my groceries and am back on my way to mother's day dinner. thank goodness for the good people of abbotsford, turning in random wallets that they find.
a little too much adreneline spent for just a quick stop at the store.

NIce work but can I ask why you started with a tricep exercise first? I always read and thought you should go with the bigger musclegroup first.
Chest and Shoulders
Here we go:
Russian Bench Press Program- 5x5 190 lbs. 6x on last set. (Tricep day whooped my ass.)
DB Shoulder Shrugs- 10x95 lbs., 10x100 lbs., 8x105 lbs. (Move up 5 lbs. next session.)
DB Decline- 10x65 lbs., 10x70 lbs., 10x75 lbs. (Move up 10 lbs. next session)
Frontal Raises- 10x20 lbs., 8x25 lbs., 6x30 lbs.
There we go boys. Short session because I had to do some stuff w/ my buisness. Watch out Tweak, here I come!
Ben, thanks for the suggestions, I will work those in next friday. Like I said, I had to do some stuff w/ my buisness b/c I'm trying to get it off the ground. It's been crazy. But I will throw those in just for you next session big boy. To everyone else, thanks for keeping up w/ my log. I will try and get on here as much as I can but my computer has been sent to dell to get fixed before I head back to school. Ok guys, see ya'll later, I'm off to church!Quote
Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, my computer was fucked so I had to send it back to dell. But, I've got it back and here is yesterday's Chest and Bi session.
Russian Bench Program- 4x4-200 lbs. Drop set with 135 did that 18x.

DB Flies- 10x30 lbs., 8x35 lbs., 6x40 lbs.
21's- 65, 70, 75 lbs.
I had a great session on monday. This felt really well and my bi's and pec's are sore today because of it. I'm off to my leg session, I'll post that up later. Peace!
What you mean I'm trying very hard? Are you saying that if I'm struggling to get that weight on E-Z bar curls? Then I need to back it down? If so, that weight is releitively easy, I usually do a 10,8,6 rep for every excersize. I dont know what has been going on lately but I have felt strong as hell. So I figure up the weight until I can only do 6 reps on the last set. BTW I'm on my 6th week of the Russian.Quote
Why do I feel? I don't know if I'm understanding you well. Ok, doing the exercice with light weights allows you to go high reps and feeling the muscle work.Originally Posted by Palmetto
If u go with heavy weights you'll be just pulling like a beast and probably hurting your bi's, I couldn't explain it better, but machine curls should be done slowly and light. The objetive of that movement is just pump up the muscle, not destroy the muscle.
Hope I could help.
Hold up...which exersize are you talking about? I was taking about E-Z bar curls. Freeweights. Not E-Z bar cable curls. But I'm not pulling that hard on those either.

For as much time as we spend at Disney, my assumption is you are thinking this post is about one of our crazy weekend experiences at the park. While you would be correct on the weekend part, this had nothing to do with any theme park at all.
It started Saturday when Emily needed to run to Michael's to pick up a few supplies for her holiday craft making. The boys and I agreed to accompany her for the drive and lunch at Red Robin, then diverted into PetCo when it came time to shop. We didn't set out with any intention to purchase, but we had be discussing the possibility of getting a bigger fish tank. A little over a year ago, Hunter, Sawyer and I took a weekend and cleaned out our small fish tank to try our hand at pet fish, part deux. A couple years prior to that experience we had a two week stint where we bought a tank, set it up, killed a couple fish, and closed up shop.
Since that experience we have managed to keep one of the two fish that we purchased last summer alive (which was a win in my book). Although we had two fish at the end of last summer, Baymax and Arnold, Arnold decided he wanted a bachelor pad and did away with his healthcare companion. Arnold has been alone ever since (roughly 6 months).
Fast forward to this weekend, we saw a great deal on a 10 gallon tank with a lit lid and decided we were going to make the upgrade. We brought it home Saturday and set it up so the water could cycle for 24 hours in preparation for the move. We also agreed that it was time to introduce another fish to the tank since there would be ample space for Arnold and a new friend.
The boys and I headed out Sunday to do some Christmas shopping for Emily at Kohl's, then swung through PetCo on the way home to pick up a new fish. Since Arnold is a Beta fish, we asked two different PetCo employees which fish would be the best companion for Arnold, knowing that he was prone to knock off anyone who swam within two inches of him. Both of the employees agreed that a Platy was a good choice and they just so happened to have Platy's with a Mickey Mouse design in the tail, how perfect. Since it was Sawyer's fish Baymax who swirled his way into eternity, Sawyer got to pick and name the fish, Mickey.
We brought Mickey home in the designer plastic bag, following the instructions to a tee. We let the bag acclimate the the tank temperature as we introduced Arnold to his new home. After 20 minutes we introduced Mickey to the new tank and enjoyed the afternoon watching the two explore their new home. There were a few times that Arnold chased Mickey around but for the most part, they looked like they were minding their own business.We bid them both good night, turned out the new tank light and retired for the evening.
Since I am always the first to rise, I headed out to the kitchen to get breakfast going prior to work and school. I checked in on our little buddies and Mickey had his head stuck in one of our new tank decorations. I assumed that he was just sleeping but when I returned an hour later I noticed there was a chunk out of his tail and a huge white spot on his head. Things were not looking good for Mick. I went off to work only to get a call from Emily and Sawyer late in the afternoon that PopPa Colonel had to send Mickey to the ocean as well. Sawyer shed a few tears but managed to bounce back rather quickly.
Well Mickey, for what it's worth, we loved ya. Hope you enjoyed your 23 hours in the Casa De La Hayes Tank. There is currently a warrant out for Arnold's arrest.

Readers of a certain vintage will recognize the title of this posting as coming from a song by the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter let us know that rainy days and Mondays really got her down.
This Monday morning in Chicago is not only rainy, but extremely muggy. I staggered to my car under the weight of my accumulated dry-cleaning only to discover that the clicker to open the parking lot wasn't working. I stood there helplessly until someone else showed up. His clicker didn't work either and we ended up unhooking the mechanism and, with considerable physical effort, pried the gate open.
I tried to drop my cleaning off, but the street was bristling with police cars and ominous "You will be towed" signs. Ah, well. I got into work and my computer wouldn't boot-up. Major panic was followed by several deep breaths and the decision to try starting it up again – it worked.
Accessing my email, I realized (oh so belatedly) that I am scheduled to be at a conference in San Jose, California this coming Friday at exactly the same time that a friend from Paris is arriving in Chicago. Eek. What to do?
It is barely 8:00a.m. I am already brought low by this rainy Monday. What can I do to redeem the day?

May 7th, 2017 - 10:30 AM Rev. Fiona Heath
The Ivory Chalice
Sunday Service: The Ivory Chalice
My name is Fiona Heath and I have had the privilege of serving this congregation as minister for the past 3 years. This Sunday actually marks 3 years since the vote to call me as your settled minister.
It's been a wonderful time and gone by too quickly. I look forward to many more years of meaning making with you.
As you have gotten to know me, you are probably aware of a few things.
I'm an introvert, I like science fiction, and I drink tea.
You may have also noticed that I am white.
Very white actually.
I was born in Canada to parents who emigrated from England in the early sixties.
I am white and british all the way back.
My ancestors were farmhands and shopkeepers in one small part of England. We stayed put.
My mother had her DNA tested and it looks like the last time the family emigrated was 60,000 years ago from Africa.
But my ancestors have been british for at least 250 years.
No wonder I love tea and toast.
Even my name tells you I am white.
Fiona arises from the gaelic and means white or fair.
Heath is a middle English word meaning one who lives near uncultivated open land – a meadow.
My parents might as well have just named me Whitey McWhite.
And my middle name is Jane.
Whitey White McWhite.
As Whitey McWhite, I grew up here in Mississauga, which in the seventies and eighties was the go to place for middle class immigrants to raise families.
My parents were part of the European wave of immigration and my friends had parents from Norway, Germany, Poland, Italy and so on.
By the time I was in school, the next generation of immigrants had arrived, my friends included people from Jamaica, Nigeria, and India.
I can remember being envious of the other immigrant kids.
They always had interesting things to do on a Saturday – like polish folk dancing or german school or Ramadan celebrations.
How come I don't have special cultural activities, said Whitey White McWhite as she watched British sitcoms on Global TV, shopped at Marks & Spencers at Square One and spoke her native language at home and school. And celebrated Victoria Day.
Where is my culture?
It's hard to see culture when it's the dominant one. When it is the sea we swim in.
And the identity of a white middle class Canadian of british origin is the default identity in Canada. It's a powerful identity to have.
I'm so white I can claim that being british and white is the most white of all.
That's the power of privilege.
I can take my privilege for granted every single day. I never have to think about the ease of which I can go about my day.
No one looks at me suspiciously when I go for a walk.
I don't get stopped for driving while white.
Security guards don't hover over me in stores.
I don't have to worry about my white son travelling to the U.S.
I can turn on the tv any time of day and see white people.
I can go to the movies, read books, open a magazine and see white people.
They are all prettier and skinnier and better dressed than me, but they are still like me.
All of this adds up to a sense of comfort, acceptance, and ease, that is so much a part of my life, it's like the air I breathe.
I don't notice that it is there. Our society is a white society, and that means our education system, our government, all the institutions are geared towards white people.
This isn't overt, in your face racism, but systems designed by white people are going to work best for white people.
Indigenous people have been pointing this out since Jacques Cartier started hanging out here.
The fur trade, the treaties, the newly created country of Canada all worked out to the advantage of the French and the British. Mostly the British.
White skin has been an advantage for the past 150 years.
We live in a society that privileges white people and white experience over all other ethnic and racial identities.
I'm not saying this to feel guilty, or to be ashamed of being white.
I love tea and toast.
But we can't change society until we see it clearly.
As Unitarian Universalists, we try to see life steadily and see it whole.
This takes time.
And with our work of reconciliation this year, with the recent issues in the Unitarian Universalist Association, it's time to look steadily at white culture and white privilege.
Not to deny it or be defensive.
Not to feel guilt or shame, or point to blame.
But to listen with compassion. To open our hearts and acknowledge the problem.
For the rest of 2017, we will continue to explore reconciliation with indigenous people; as well as learning more about first nations issues, as well as building a relationship with the Mississaugas of the New Credit, we will be developing more awareness of white culture and privilege.
Seeing white privilege is hard for white people. It's like asking a fish to describe water.
We are so immersed in it, so used to it, it's tricky to notice.
Our social identity is composed of many factors – race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, language, religion, ancestry, social class, age, education, health.
The more our social identity corresponds to the dominant social identity, the more power and privilege we have. And our power and privilege will change in different contexts.
All of us have ways in which we are in a minority or marginalized.
Even me, Whitey White McWhite, have had experiences of being "the other".
As a woman, I've had my share of sexist experiences with mansplaining, being interrupted, and having men take credit for my ideas.
And as a middle aged woman I am developing the super power of invisibility.
I want to invite you into a very brief exercise about identity. If you are part of the group I name, please stand up or put up your hand.
If you are not comfortable sharing, you don't have to participate.
If your first language is English, please stand up. Thanks, sit down.
If you identify as male, please stand up.
If you or your parents had a post secondary education, please stand up.
If you identify as white, please stand up.
If you are under forty, please stand up.
If you identify as a Unitarian Universalist, please stand up.
In this room right now, the dominant identity is a well educated English speaking white middle aged female UU.
That`s me.
It`s a lot harder to belong if you are in the minority. A different orientation or a different skin colour, it`s harder to be comfortable here.
The sense of comfort just isn`t the same.
It is no surprise that we are a white denomination. Our theologies emerged from the Protestant Reformation and most of our history has been in England, Canada, and the United States.
But we forget that the dominant culture has all sorts of assumed norms and behaviours that don't necessarily feel so welcoming to people of other cultures and colours. These norms exert a powerful influence.
The chalice is ivory.
Kenny Wiley is a well known UU religious educator and one of the founders of Black Lives UU. He is one of the leaders of this teach-in Sunday.
He says, "Unitarian Universalism is changing. It's changing because it needs to.
It's changing because a whole host of folks of color are tired of feeling like outsiders, of being made to feel like guests in a faith that we helped build."
Talking about race and privilege is a hard for Unitarian Universalists because we want to believe we've done the work.
We are welcoming. We support diversity and inclusivity.
We want to be a safe space where all belong.
I know I want each and every person here to feel like they belong, I want each of you to leave the service feeling better and more hopeful then when you arrived.
We try. And we mess up.
We don't see that our good intentions may have a negative impact on someone from a minority group.
We don't see how we subtly – or not - treat people of colour as different, as other.
I know I tend to choose readings and music from white people.
We want the Asian person who visits to meet the other Asian person in the room.
We touch black people`s hair without permission.
We mean well, but we will do better when we are conscious of our own identity and privilege.
Kenny Wiley notes that "so many UUs of color carry … stories of unwanted spotlight, or being ignored, or being told (with words or with actions) we're not the right fit, far beyond the last few weeks."
The conversation about race and racism in the Unitarian Universalist Association is not new. It has been around for decades.
But I do think that this may be the beginning of the moment when people of colour are heard in a way that creates lasting change for people of the chalice.
Sadly, I think this is possible, not because we are at the head of the curve when it comes to race and racism, but because it is finally becoming a national conversation in the United States.
When American sitcoms deal with issues of race, you know that it has become a thing. Just this week Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the popular police precinct sitcom, dealt with racism when the off duty black sergeant Terry is stopped by a white cop outside of his own house. He wasn't released until the white cop realized Terry was a fellow officer.
If sit-coms are dealing directly with white privilege and racism, it is past time that we as people of the chalice learn to speak honestly about these difficult and complex subjects.
It will take effort and intention, but if we live by our principles, stay in relationship, and treat one another with compassion, we will all be better for it.
Last year our national denomination affirmed a new vision – as Canadian UUs we seek a future in which our interdependence calls us to love and justice.
To guide us towards that vision, five aspirations were also created, to help shape the journey.
One of the aspirations is to be radically inclusive, to strive to create hospitable, diverse, multi- generational communities.
If we wish to be radically inclusive, we have to do the work.
My white colleague, the Rev. Karen Quinlan notes that Quaker activist and songwriter, Carrie Newcomer, sings 'Come on and look inside you--it's the best place to start. The greatest revolution is a simple change of heart.'
We want to be a radically inclusive community, we want to live in a society that honours the inherent worth and dignity of all people.
We can help shape a more just society through advocacy and action, and speak out against racial profiling and hate crimes.
But as my colleague says, "more often, I'm learning, true change happens only when we take the time and the risk of sitting with something hard. True change in the world is intimately related to our internal transformation, which is intimately related to our presence to ourselves."
When we become present to our whole selves, our individual identity, our social identity, our own bias and prejudice and our history of pain and love, we can upgrade our understanding.
This work is both intellectual and emotional, and the emotional work is tough to do.
It is hard to face our own internal bias, our own internal pain. It`s easier to protect ourselves with denial or defensiveness.
It is easy to see how indigenous people have been marginalized in our society, a lot harder to deal my romantic views of first nations people as one with nature and just see them as ordinary people with a different culture.
It means learning how to separate Islam from terrorism.
Or black man from "dangerous".
These unconscious associations take time to uncover and shift. We will all mess up in the process.
"True change happens only when we take the time and the risk of sitting with something hard."
Compassion is required.
We need compassion for ourselves as we deal with defensiveness, denial, shame, guilt, all those fun emotions.
And compassion for others who, after a lifetime of prejudices large and small, express anger and rage.
It's hard to stay in relationship when we are uncomfortable with the conversation, when we are faced with conflict.
Compassion helps us meet pain with kindness.
It's a way of being in the world that keeps our hearts open to ourselves and to others.
It`s remembering that ``It is not my work to fix you; it is my work to nurture you." Ken Collier
If we can take our time and do the internal work, we will be working towards radical inclusivity.
Immediately after the service today, Marlene Blake Seale will host a sharing circle for people of colour and parents of children of colour to reflect on this service.
I will be up in Founders Hall until 12noon, so we won`t miss lunch, for anyone else who needs to process this service or wants more information.
I will have some hand outs on white privilege, and will post links on our facebook page.
Developing an awareness of white culture and privilege will help us in our reconciliation work this year.
And over time, my hope is that it will help shift the culture of this chalice community.
Kenny Wiley says "When I think of the best I've seen of Unitarian Universalism, I think of courage, of joy in 'POC' spaces despite it all, and I think of people just showing up for one another.
I think of the courage to stay at the table, to sit with discomfort instead of rushing through it.
Unitarian Universalism is changing. We're being more honest about our selves and our stories. Yet I have more faith in us than ever. Let's "take courage" and keep on working."
May we remember true change happens when we have the hard conversations.
May we be kind to ourselves and one another.
Let`s take courage and keep on working.
So Say We All.

The answer, of course, is that nothing has gone wrong with it but something seems to have gone wrong with me. I was a big proponent of Barry's tweaked two-bath years ago and produced negatives that seemed to fulfil the promise of well-controlled highlights, sharpness and fine grain. Then, something must have changed as I stopped using it.

It's a nicely made camera and functions well enough so I thought I'd put a roll of Tmax 400 in it and snap away at nothing in particular. I used it as a walkies camera rather than a walkabout camera.

Don't worry. This isn't the beginning of the end. Nor, though, is it likely to be the end of the beginning.

There were a few questions in the comments to my last post about "one-lensing" but rather than respond to them there, which can get a bit messy, I'll answer them here if that's OK. First up was my pal Phil Rogers (Herman Sheephouse) who wondered whether it might be the weight of my Benbo tripod that was putting me off carrying a lot of gear.

I know there are readers who can do this and they're probably bemused by my rumblings of discontent.

So too do arms of iron break
Embraces never shall they make
– theresurreccionofkevin
I write, draw, and dump it all here for your enjoyment. I hope.
Feb 4 2015
Sigh 1
I exhale now
In one large sigh
As though the world
Constricts my chest
Though I'm not old
Or saddled with
The problems that
The others face
I sigh and heave
My soul to light
And breathe it back
To weigh it down
But once again
Sigh 2
The world at times constricts my chest
And heaving, I release a sigh
My soul pours out, weighed down by gloom
And left to air with sun and wind
I take it back with one quick breath
To weigh it down with gloom again
A sponge for sadness, wrung each day
– theresurreccionofkevin
I take a sip, we start with one
Another comes, and others come
Until the rusty flask is done
And rust from thoughts and hands are gone
We crave a day they never leave
It kills to say goodbye
To friends and distant loves we grieve
The day we have to fly
Yet still we crave the bitter truth
To find a place apart
To grow as selves from selfish youth
And fill an empty heart

Simple problem I just don't know how.
I want to style the posts on my blog but when i click a post and it goes to the posts specific page I want to style it another way. So basically I want the posts list to have a specific class that doesn't apply to the posts specific page. If you don't get what i'm taking about i'm sure I can explain it another way.
