Looking good Karen! I've done several of the ones you've done and they grew well. I did foxglove, delphinium, blackberry lily, columbine, Echinacea. Marigolds did well to but I didn't sow them til mid March, the petunias I tried fizzled, think that was my fault because I moved them to my greenhouse and it got to hot. My next seed order will be coming soon and there will be more to do. Right now I only have 3 flats. Sounds like you're hooked. BTW, I've never done larkspur but have read that other people have and it works for them. I never start w/s til after Christmas. Marg |

Thank you Marg! I am well and truly hooked, and I haven't even seen seedlings yet! lol. It's just such a nice thing to do in these cold frozen months - helps me feel connected to my garden. Can't wait to see what grows! I'm going to add to it as well - Basket of Gold, two more columbines, dichondra and primrose. Still not sure how to handle the larkspur... How long have you been WSing? Karen |
I used to do quite a bit but then got sidetracked with daylilies. I plan to do a lot more when my seed order comes in. BTW, I do columbine and they do great! Try asking about the larkspur on the Far North forum, it's a bit more active. Everyone there was a great help to me when I was starting. Marg |

Recipe by SandiNicol
"My Grandma Earhart was a wonderful cook. There wasn't anything she made that my family and I didn't love. This casserole of hers was one of my favorites. I hope you will try her casserole recipe and will love it as much as I do. Bon appetite!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
This was a hit with the whole family even without having the cheese to sprinkle on top. I left out the celery since we are not big fans of it but I did add some fresh minced garlic with the onion. I also used fresh mild italian sausage and for those who like things spicier use a spicier sausage. It was a fast meal and served with a salad made a complete meal.
Very tasty - my favorite kind of meal for a cool, fall evening! I added fresh garlic to the onion/pepper/celery mix, and used whole wheat penne instead of egg noodles because that's what we had on hand. Served it with a fresh green salad - delicious, and a hit with the whole family.

Just ok.
This was awesome!!!I used stewed tomatoes as that was the only thing I had on hand.I also used fettuccini as i didnt have any egg noodles...Also no green peppers so I had used the orange,yellow and red peppers only...OMG this was so good so knowing I didnt have the green peppers,tomatoes and egg noodles I know it would have had the same effect on the meal itself...For my critic of a 17yr son that thinks he is a better cook than me he liked it alot...A keeper!!!

If you frequently prepare large meals by using all eyes on the stove, an electric pressure cooker may be a good option to free up some space. It's also a good choice if you're a multitasker and would like to leave the machine unattended. But they do have their downsides. For example, they're bulkier than stovetop units, requiring more storage space. They also don't reach and maintain pressure as well; cooking inserts often spin inside the base when foods are stirred, and many reviewers say they don't brown as well. However, cooks new to pressure-cooking may appreciate that the machine can essentially be set and left alone, and for the investment, electric cookers also have other functions, like browning and steaming.
With all that said, professionals and owners do recommend some top models, including the best-reviewed Cuisinart CPC-600 Pressure Cooker (*Est. $100) . It offers two pressure settings, a built-in thermostat, automatic pressure release and programmable timer. Professional testers find that the CPC-600 makes good-tasting foods, and Good Housekeeping editors say it browns comparatively well. However, it does turn itself off during cooking if enough water isn't used. While good intentioned, this safety feature can be a real nuisance, as considerably less water is used when cooking large cuts of meat.
Though it gets less attention, the Instant Pot IP-LUX60 (*Est. $160) has a lot in common with the CPC-600, but offers a few more functionalities. The IP-LUX60 also works as a slow cooker, steamer and rice cooker. For an electric pressure cooker, the Instant Pot performs exceptionally well according to Amazon reviewers. Like the CPC-600, one major downside of this cooker is that it's relatively likely to turn itself off (which it does if the lid isn't properly secured, preventing the cooker from reaching pressure within a certain amount of time). Though this model does a bit more than the CPC-600, it's also more expensive and doesn't have as many positive reviews, which is why the CPC-600 is the top-rated model.
We did see a number of owner reviews for the Wolfgang Puck 5-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker (*Est. $120) , but the inconsistency of owner reviews and lack of professional input mean we cannot recommend this model.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Pre-Fall 2012 line is a quaint collection of argyle and plaid fashions with a focus on skirted suits with leather detailing and ultra-luxe accessories. The Pre-Fall Ferragamo is an homage to the uniformed schoolgirl with mature and elegant adjustments that make it age-appropriate and totally wearable for working women.
The Ferragamo Pre-Fall 2012 collection has a lot of burnt orange and turquoise color, as well as plum and scarlet red that makes up a powerful color palate. Accessorized with drooping felt hats, boxy leather purses and pointy pumps, the collection is stylish, yet refined with the use of bold prints. The tailoring of each look seems to take cues from different decades, that gives it a vintage feel, while the patterns seem to modernize it.

Mood Of The Nation: Businessman Sees A Recovery
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) â¿¿ On the eve of the 2012 elections, The Associated Press interviewed dozens of Americans to try to gauge the economic mood of the nation. People were asked about jobs, housing, gas prices, retirement and other issues. Among them was a man in Boca Raton, Fla.: Jay Baker, 69. He owns a flooring business whose revenue dropped after the housing bust. Recently, though, Baker has begun to enjoy a recovery.
The low point for Brookside Flooring came two or three years ago.
The housing bubble had wrecked South Florida's home market. Construction barely existed. Companies were closing or shedding staff. Baker's company managed to survive. But it suffered. Now? Business has rebounded in the past few months. Sales are still down by about a third since 2008. But when you've withstood a savage housing bust, any sustained improvement feels gratifying. "Slowly but surely, it's coming back," Baker says. "I really can't pinpoint it. All I know is that it's getting better, and it makes me happy." Baker sees the overall economy strengthening, too â¿¿ and for that, he credits President Barack Obama for pushing his economic agenda against sharp Republican resistance. U.S. unemployment has dipped, Baker notes. Stock prices have surged more than 13 percent this year. Consumers are more confident and spending a bit more. When more people are working, Baker says, everyone who depends on a robust economy gains. People aren't just more apt to replace the flooring in their home or business, he says. Restaurants and clothing stores benefit. So do auto dealers, contractors and furniture shops. "In a small town, when a large business goes out of business, the people are out of a job, but all of the small businesses are affected, too," he says. "When business is better, everybody's affected."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

No, no such thing can be done with man. Spirituality is not a commodity. And because of this, because spirituality means freedom, so few people become spiritual - because you never use your freedom. Rather, on the contrary, you go on fettering yourself into slaveries, because slavery is convenient, very convenient. Slavery is convenient, comfortable. Freedom is inconvenient, uncomfortable.
When everyone is a slave, you can exist with everyone if you are a slave. If you begin to act as a free agent, you become maladjusted. The whole world has progressed only through maladjusted individuals. The adjusted ones are always orthodox, traditional. They always do what all the others are doing. They are adjusted.
Freedom means you begin to move in a direction no one is moving in. Fear grips you. You begin to feel uneasy. You cannot be certain because no one is moving there. Because freedom is such a responsibility, and such a dangerous responsibility, you go on deceiving yourself. At the most you choose one slavery over another, you go on substituting slaveries.
One Hindu becomes a Christian, one Christian becomes a Hindu: they change slaveries. One man belongs to this party, and then he leaves it and thinks, "I am free," and begins to belong to another party. We simply change bondages. A new bondage is not a freedom. Freedom means with no bondage, moving with no bondage. That means moving moment to moment without any certainty, moving into insecurity. We are always interested in securities.
Only two or three days ago, one old lady was here. Her husband is doing meditation, deeply. Now she has become worried because he has become more silent. She came to ask me, "My husband has become more silent, and I fear that if this goes on he may become a sannyasin. He may leave us, he may renounce us, so stop my husband from doing meditation!"
I asked her whether he has become a worse man than he was before. She said, "No, he has become good. He is not angry now as he was before. He is more loving, more compassionate. But the whole family has become disturbed, a fear that he may leave us."
This fear is not only the fear of the wife. I asked her husband also. He said, "I myself have become uneasy, because the silence is going in and as the silence is going in everything has begun to look different. My family doesn't look at all as if it is mine - as if it is someone else's family. I feel more compassion for the children, but now they are not mine. I am doing everything for them, and I will go on doing it, but it is as if I am doing it in a play, in a drama. I am not involved. So I myself have become afraid. If this goes on, then anything can happen. Any day I may leave them."
This fear of the unknown! A fixed pattern was there, now a new factor has entered in. And that new factor is so alive it will change everything. So he asked me, "If you tell me to, I will stop meditation. And in my family, everyone will be happy if I stop it."

She is probably represented by a gallery in NYC, that sells current and past works. Here is a website that has hammer prices but you have to sign up. It may be free I didnt read the details. |
Here is a link that might be useful: ArtPrice

It may be Gagosian Gallery. I found one price of $6500 for a print in 2007, but it was a self portrait from the 70s. I don't imagine the non-portraits command as much. |
I found the photo online. It's called Untitled (Queen of Hearts) and last sold for around $1400. |

7.) Do you think it hurts/helps your love life?
Being unemployed hurts my love life.
8.) Just ballpark figure, how many date offers did you get after your appearance on The Daily Show? More from men or women?
I always get date offers from gay men. Women tend to be more circumspect.
9.) What's the wackiest thing a gay man has ever said about it?
Comparisons to an elephant's trunk.
10.) When did you first notice you were, um, different then other guys?
Baseball camp when I was 18. They just noticed the massive bulge, and compared with me.
11.) What are you looking for in a significant other?
My future wife will have similar interests. After years of sex, someone whom I can identify with is paramount. Geeky stuff. Sci-fi, writing, games, etc.
12.) And, finally, doesn't it ever get uncomfortable? Where do you buy condoms?
No. I use XL condoms, even though they only fit half. At least there's no fluid exchange.
Check out Samantha Bee's hilarous segment, "Jonah Falcon Needs A Job" from The Daily Show.

As Glenn Greenwald explains today, we've had a good deal of official censorship of the Wikileaks cables, not just in the general sense with Joe Lieberman nudging the site off of Amazon's cloud service, but in the particular. Several of the most sensitive revelations in not only this but a number of Wikileaks releases over the past year just don't make it into American newspapers and news reports. He gives a sampling, but I want to focus on one: the State Department pressuring the Spanish government to stop investigations of torture and mistreatment by US nationals.

Siam River Thai & Sushi's masterful chefs animate years of experience when whipping together authentic Thai eats cataloged on the extensive menu. Blending Chinese and Indian delicacies, a lunch platter of meat and broccoli pad ke mow ($7.95) invites teeth to a flavor fete, and a dinner sampling of the Pirate Boat—brimming with a mixed seafood blend and old-fashioned Thai herbs ($16.95)—tempts even the most placid palates to bellow vociferous encomiums. Sautéed duck with wild basil backstrokes in a pool of chili and hot-pepper waves ($18.95), and colorful Japanese sushi creations, such as the Miami Hurricane roll with crab meat, cooked shrimp, and cream cheese ($7.50), high-five lonely tonsils. Siam River also weighs down plates with curry, noodles, misplaced dumbbells, and rice dishes.
To create their traditional dishes, the chefs at Emerald Thai flavor simmering pots of soup with lemongrass, galangal root, kaffir lime leaf, ginger, garlic, and chili paste (to name only a few of their ingredients). They slather oyster sauce across grilled steak and glaze fried duck with a tangy sweet and sour sauce. They'll even let guests in on the fun, allowing them to customize their own stir-fried dishes by choosing a protein such as tofu, beef, or scallops. The flavorful dishes are served in an elegant dining room cloaked in golden drapes and crimson tablecloths. For an equally luxurious experience, guests can order food online and have meals delivered straight to their throne room.
Israel "Izzy" Valdes opened his namesake restaurant to help groups of diners avoid the age-old frustrations of settling for just one type of cuisine. By offering two popular fares in one location, Izzy's acts like a giant dove puffing on a peace pipe, healing the food-fueled rifts between bickering families and nagging couples. The ever-evolving menu is clearly demarcated according to cuisine, and two different chefs man the kitchen to ensure each half of the menu is expertly executed. The menu's Cuban region includes such delicacies as grilled chicken breast draped in equally grilled onions ($8.95) and the cubano sandwich, made with ham, roasted pork, swiss cheese, and pickles, all nestled on a Cuban-style roll ($7.95). The Thai portion features well-spiced staples such as pad thai, myriad vegetarian options, and curries of every color ($4–$13). Most of Izzy's sensational dinner entrees and specials fall within the $10–$20 range.
Asia Bay serves the "best sushi in this town," according to actor Alec Baldwin, who tweeted his recommendation while in Fort Lauderdale to film Rock of Ages, according to pbpulse. The man behind this A-list-worthy cuisine is executive chef and co-owner Peter Hepp, who according to Miami New Times "is hip to the aesthetic of clean lines, vivid colors, and brightly delineated flavors." Hepp's chefs drizzle the menu's more than 60 sushi and sashimi plates with colorful sauces as carefully as painters adorn canvas, yielding dishes that are as nice to look at as they are to eat. The 50-seat dining room operates under a similarly modern theme, with large picture windows, white leather chairs, and curved-back banquettes which Social Miami calls "minimalist-chic."
Outside, a patio held up by stilts lifts diners above the rippling waves of the Tarpon River, helping garner Asia Bay an OpenTable Diners' Choice Award for Best Outdoor Dining. Here the decor invites relaxation with large parasols, old-fashioned street lamps, and seagulls who will give backrubs for fresh-cut sashimi.

US 6530765 B1 Abstract An improved method and apparatus is provided for extruding ePTFE tube for use in medical applications. A tube of PTFE is extruded, preferably in an extrusion process, using counter-rotated die components. The die component is maintained at a constant temperature during processing. The resulting green tube has enhanced fibrous state formation in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extrusion. The PTFE green tube is then subjected to secondary operations such as stretching and expansion to yield medical product. The ePTFE tube structure is defined by nodes interconnected by elongate fibrils. Both the nodes and fibrils are substantially randomly tilted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube. This particular structure yields a tube which exhibits a high degree of radial tear strength useful in medical applications.

Description This application is a continuation of copending application Ser. No. 09/245,210, filed on Feb. 5, 1999 now abandoned; which is a continuation of Ser. No. 08/545,799, filed on Apr. 15, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,874,032; which is a � 371 of PCT/US95/03018, filed Mar. 9, 1995; and said Ser. No. 09/245,210 filed Feb. 5, 1999, abandoned is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 08/209,543, filed Mar. 10, 1994, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,887. The present invention relates generally to extruded PTFE products. More particularly the present invention relates to expanded PTFE products formed from an extrusion process, such products being useful in grafts, patches, tubing and the like specifically in medical applications. The use of products formed of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in medical applications is well known. Products such as implantable grafts, implantable patches, catheter tubing and the like may be derived from extruded tubing of PTFE. PTFE tubing is normally manufactured by a paste extrusion process. Screw injection extrusion which is typical of most thermoplastics may not be effectively used with PTFE because PTFE resin does not exhibit sufficient fluidity even when heated. In the paste extrusion process a �green tube� is formed. A green tube is a tube of PTFE that must be subjected to secondary operations before it yields a usable medical product. Such secondary operations may include stretching and expanding the tube under various conditions of time, pressure and temperature. The paste extrusion process tends to produce a tube which has a fibrous state where its fibrils are generally longitudinally aligned in the direction of extrusion. This fibrous state formation is particularly evident where the PTFE paste includes a lubricant to assist in extrusion. Extruded tubes having fibrils longitudinally aligned in this fashion exhibit low radial or hoop strength. Such a tube is highly susceptible to tearing or rupturing. Attempts have been made to modify the structure of extruded PTFE tubing. Such attempts seek to manufacture extruded PTFE tubing having non-longitudinally aligned fibrils where the fibrous state formation includes fibrils aligned transversely to the extrusion direction. One attempt in the vascular graft art is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,480. This technique employs a screw tip on the extrusion mold to reorient the fibrils during the paste extrusion process. The pitch of the screw tip tends to twist the fibrils during extrusion. In the mechanical art area, U.S. Pat. No. 4,225,547 employs counter-rotation to manufacture pipes and wire jackets. In this example, the mandrel and the outer portion of the extrusion die are counter-rotated with respect to one another. While this tends to orient the fibrils in both the longitudinal and transverse direction, as set forth in the '547 patent a suitable product is only obtained by establishing during extrusion a temperature gradient where the die temperature is substantially higher than the initial temperature of the paste preform entering the die apparatus. In this process, the die is therefor heated to a temperature significantly above the initial paste temperature. As is set forth in the '547 patent, elevating the temperature of the die over that of the incoming paste while counter rotating the die components, subjects the product to thermal expansion and enhances the fibrous-state formation in the direction perpendicular to the direction of extrusion. However, the process described in the '547 patent has several disadvantages. First, it is difficult to maintain predictable processing parameters where a temperature gradient is relied upon. Further, it is difficult to maintain an environment where a temperature gradient must be established and maintained. In addition frictional heating of the paste due to contact with rotational members precludes establishment of a reproducible steady state extrusion condition where a fixed temperature gradient must be maintained. Finally, the compressible nature of PTFE pastes, coupled with their high coefficient of expansion make operation under a fixed temperature gradient highly undesirable. It is therefore desirable to provide a process for producing a PTFE tube where fibrous-state formation is enhanced thereby resulting in a tube having higher radial is strength, without the need to maintain a precise temperature gradient during processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for forming a PTFE tubular product in a paste extrusion process. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an expanded PTFE product (ePTFE) formed by an improved process which exhibits high radial tear strength. It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an ePTFE product having a microporous structure with substantially randomly tilted fibril and node structure. In the efficient attainment of these and other objects the present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for forming a PTFE tubular product. The present invention provides for the extrusion of a PTFE green tube between at least one rotating die of an extrusion apparatus. The extrusion apparatus is maintained at a constant temperature to avoid a temperature gradient during extrusion. The die components may be rotated during extrusion to enhance fibrous state formation of the tube in a direction generally perpendicular to the extrusion direction. The green tube so formed may be then subjected to secondary operations such as stretching and expanding to form an ePTFE tube suitable for medical use. The ePTFE tube exhibits a microporous structure defined by nodes interconnected by elongate fibrils. The nodes in such a microporous structure are oriented such that their primary axes are not generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body. FIG. 1 shows in schematic section, the die apparatus used to extrude a PTFE tube. FIG. 2 shows in schematic section, a further embodiment of a die apparatus used to extrude a PTFE tube. FIG. 3 is a perspective view partially broken away, of a PTFE tube formed in accordance with the present invention, showing schematically the fibrous state formation of the extruded tube. FIG. 4 is an electron micrograph of a portion of the outer surface of an expanded PTFE tube of the prior art. FIG. 5 is an electron micrograph of a portion of the outer surface of an expanded PTFE tube of the present invention. The present invention contemplates providing a �green tube� having desirous fibrous state formation i.e. fibrous state formation which is generally more perpendicular to the direction of extrusion than is traditionally achieved, without the need to establish and maintain a temperature differential between the incoming preform paste and the extrusion die as is required in prior art practices. The present invention provides for the manufacture of PTFE green tube in an environment where the die apparatus is maintained at substantially a uniform, constant temperature. It is within the contemplation of the present invention to provide such uniform temperature either at ambient temperature or above or below ambient temperature as will be evidenced from the following description. An extrusion apparatus 10 used to form an extruded PTFE tube 12 (FIG. 3) is shown with reference to FIG. 1. The extrusion apparatus 10 includes a conventional extruder 11 which accepts PTFE paste. As stated above, the process of the present invention employs a paste extrusion process where PTFE resin is mixed with liquid lubricant. As is well known in the PTFE extrusion art, a lubricant is used to render the PTFE paste more fluid and easier to extrude and handle after it is formed into a tube. A PTFE paste of resin and lubricant is formed in a preform press (not shown) into a preform product referred to as a tubular billet 18. Tubular billet 18 is loaded into the extruder 11 in a position where it may be fed into a die apparatus 16 in a manner which is also well known in the extrusion art. In the present invention, die apparatus 16 is a multi-component device including a stationary die body 20, a rotating die element 22, a supporting plate 24 which supports die element 22 to die body 20, a mandrel 26, a die insert 28 and an insert spacer 29. Each of the die apparatus components are typically formed of metal, preferably stainless steel. Die body 20 is generally an elongate hollow cylindrical member having a first end 30 for receiving billet 18, a second end 32 for rotationally supporting die element 22 and a central bore 34 therethrough. Die body 20 is supported by the extruder 11 in a fixed non-movable position with respect thereto. Die element 22 is generally an elongate hollow cylindrical member having a first end 36 which is supported adjacent first end 30 of die body 20. Die element 22 also includes an opposed second end 38 which extends outwardly beyond second end 32 of die body 20. A central bore 39 is defined between the first end 36 and the second end 38 of die element 22. Bore 39 of die element 22 is in communication with bore 34 of die body 20 and together with mandrel 26 define a generally narrowing annular extrusion bore 40 for passage of tubular billet 18 in a manner which will be described in further detail hereinbelow. Supporting plate 24 secures die element 22 to die body 20. Various fastening techniques may be used to support supporting plate 24 to die body 20 to secure die element 22 thereto. Die apparatus 16 further includes an elongate hollow generally cylindrical die insert 28 positioned within bore 39 of die element 22 adjacent second end 38 thereof. Die insert 28 has a central bore 27 therethrough. As will be described in further detail hereinbelow, die insert 28 is used to form and regulate the outside dimension (O.D.) of tube 12 which is extruded through die apparatus 16. Die insert 28 may be interchanged with differently sized die inserts to vary the O.D. of tube 12 formed thereby. A die spacer 29 is used to support and position die insert 28 within bore 39 of die element 22. Bore 34 of die body 20, bore 39 of die element 22 as well as bore 27 of die insert 28 are each longitudinally aligned in successive communicative position, and together with mandrel 26 form a die cavity coextensive with elongate extrusion bore 40 for the passage of tubular billet 18. Extrusion bore 40 is generally conical in shape having a wider end 42 for receiving billet 18 and a narrow cylindrical end 44 for the formation of tube 12. Mandrel 26 of die apparatus 16 is an elongate generally cylindrical member centrally positioned within bore 40. A cylindrical end 46 of mandrel 26, adjacent first end 30 of die body 20, is wider than the opposite cylindrical end 48 adjacent die insert 28. A central conically tapered section 49 of mandrel 26 provides a transition between wider end 46 and narrower opposite end 48. Cylindrical end 48 of mandrel 26 is positioned centrally within bore 27 of die insert 28 and forms the inner diameter (I.D.) of tube 12. As described above, die element 22 is supported within die body 20 for relative rotational movement with respect thereto. As die element 22 is constructed to rotate with respect to die body 20, a resilient sealing member (not shown) may be interposed between the interface 21 of the two components to form a seal thereat. A conventional mechanism (not shown) may be secured to die element 22 to permit the rotational movement thereof. Further, a similar conventional mechanism (also not shown) may be secured to mandrel 26 to permit its rotational movement. Die element 22 and mandrel 26 are designed to be rotated in either the same rotational direction (co-rotation) or opposite relative rotational directions (counter-rotation). It is also contemplated that only one of die element 22 or mandrel 26 may be rotated. As shown in FIG. 1 in a preferred embodiment, die element 22 may be rotated in the rotational direction of arrow A, while mandrel 26 may be rotated in the rotational direction of arrow B, which is opposite of arrow A. As will be described in further detail hereinbelow, the conventional mechanisms used to rotate die element 22 and mandrel 26 may also vary the rotational speeds of each of die element 22 and mandrel 26. The present invention further contemplates varying the length of the rotating outer portion of die apparatus 16, by varying the length of rotating die element 22. As shown in FIG. 1, bore 40 defined between first end 30 of die body 20 and the second end 38 of die element 22 along center line l, has an overall length of d1. A portion d2 of this length, defined solely by rotating die element 22, is rotatable. In the present illustrative example d2 may be between about 10% and 100% of d1. It has been found that results such as those described hereinbelow may be varied by varying the length of the rotating portion of die apparatus 16. As mentioned above, the present invention provides for the ability to maintain the extrusion apparatus 10 at a uniform constant temperature so that there is no temperature variation in the PTFE paste between the tubular billet stage and the final green tube stage. While such controlled temperature may be at ambient temperature or an elevated or cooled temperature, it does not substantially vary throughout the extrusion process. In that regard, die body further includes temperature control connection ports 50 thereon. Connection ports 50 connect fluid tubes 52 to die body 20. This permits a temperature controlled liquid to be circulated around die body 20 so as to control the temperature of the die apparatus 16 during the extrusion process. The rotative movement of mandrel 26 and die element 22 generates frictional heat which would be imparted to the tube 12 extruded therebetween. By circulating a temperature controlled medium throughout die apparatus 16, maintenance of temperature is achieved. Where a controlled temperature at or below ambient is desired, typically a coolant is circulated through ports 50. This coolant is sufficient to maintain the die components at a temperature which would be lower than that normally achieved by the operation of the components. Where the desired controlled temperature is above ambient, the elevated temperature may be achieved by passing a warm solution through ports 50 or may be achieved by allowing the temperature of die components to rise (due to friction of the moving parts), in a controlled manner during use. In either case, the temperature of extruder 11 may also be elevated by any conventional heating source so as to maintain a constant temperature throughout processing. Having described the structure of die apparatus 16, its operation may now be described. Preformed tubular billet 18 is loaded into the extruder 11. Mandrel 26 is caused to rotate in the direction of arrow B and die element 22 is caused to rotate in the direction of arrow A. While providing such simultaneous counter-rotation of mandrel 26 and die element 22, tubular billet 18 is extruded through the bore 40. The extruded PTFE paste passes through die insert 28 to take the tubular shape shown in FIG. 3. The exiting tubular extrusion may be cut to any desired length. As described above, conventional extrusion processes have a tendency to align the fibrils of extruded product along the direction of extrusion. Fibrils aligned in this manner result in a tube having low radial strength. By rotating the mandrel and the die, (particularly by counter-rotation) a structure of tube 12 is formed having generally non-aligned fibrils (FIG. 3) which increase the radial tear strength of the tube. The rotation of die element 22 imparts a helical fibril pattern to the outside of tube 12. Similarly rotation of mandrel 26 imparts a helical fibril pattern to the inside of tube 12. Where such rotation is counter-rotation, the helical pattern on the inside of tube 12 is opposite the helical pattern of the outside of the tube. However, in the prior art practices of rotating die components, the desired non-aligned fibril structure is formed in an environment where an elevated temperature gradient is maintained. Such elevated temperature gradient could be externally induced or could be caused by the normal friction between the rotating parts. The present invention provides an extruded tube 12 having a desired non-aligned fibril structure without subjecting the die components to a temperature gradient. While the PTFE paste is being extruded through the die apparatus 16, it is maintained at a uniform temperature. By passing a temperature controlled fluid through tube 52 and ports 50 during extrusion as above described, the die apparatus 16 may be controlled and maintained at a substantially uniform temperature. Referring to FIG. 3, the fibrous structure of the tube 12 of the present invention is schematically represented. Tube 12 formed in accordance with the present invention shows the results of the preferred counter rotating of die element 22 with respect to mandrel 26 during extrusion. The outer surface 13 of tube 12 has fibril orientation 14 generally in a helical pattern. The direction of the helical fibril orientation 14 corresponds to the rotation direction A of die element 22 resulting from the outer surface 13 of tube 12 being in contact with rotating second die element 22 during extrusion. Similarly, the inner surface 15 of tube 12 has a fibril orientation 19 in a helical pattern which is opposite that of fibril orientation 14 on the outer surface 13 of tube 12. The helical pattern on inner surface 15 corresponds to rotation direction B of mandrel 26 resulting from the inner surface 15 of tube 12 being in contact with rotating mandrel 26 during extrusion. As rotation direction A is opposite that of rotation direction B, the helical fibril orientation 14 and 19 are also opposite one another. With respect to both outer surface 13 as well as inner surface 15 of tube 12, the effect of counter-rotation on the fibril orientation can be seen. Significant fibril orientation in a non-longitudinally aligned position is achieved. It is further contemplated that different degrees of helical fibrous structure may be achieved by varying the relative rotational rates of mandrel 26 and die element 22 (FIG. 1). Also, as above mentioned, the helical fibrous structure may also be changed by varying the length of the rotating die element 22 with respect to stationary die body 20. Additionally, the temperature of operation may also effect fibrous state formation. Generally, as the length of the rotating component is increased or as the relative rotation rates of the counter rotating parts is increased, an increase in the fibrous formation in a non-longitudinally aligned position may be observed with an associated increase in radial tear strength. Table I summarizes the resulting radial tensile strengths imparted to a tube formed in accordance with the FIG. 1 embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a further embodiment of the present invention is shown. Die apparatus 16′ is substantially similar to die apparatus 16 shown in FIG. 1 (like reference numerals referring to like components). In the die apparatus 16′ shown in FIG. 2, mandrel 26′ is modified from that shown in FIG. 1. One end 46′ of mandrel 26 is formed to have an overall conical configuration along a longitudinal extent 41′. End 46′ is positioned such that extent 41′ is aligned with a central portion of bore 40′. The conical configuration of extent 41′ matches the conical configuration of bore 40′ adjacent thereto. As wider end 46′ now tapers to match the taper of bore 40′ thereat, a generally uniformly tapering annual cavity extent is formed therebetween. This is in distinction to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 where the wider end 46 of mandrel 26 is generally cylindrical while the bore 40 thereadjacent is tapered or conical. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, it is contemplated that the extrusion of tubular billet 18′ may be more easily facilitated through an annular bore which generally is of uniform bore width over a longitudinal extent. This reduces the tendency to force billet 18′ into a chamber which abruptly narrows. The billet 18′ is more easily passed through bore 40′ with less resistance being encountered as the paste passes towards extrusion die 28′. This resulting ease of passage allows the mandrel 26′ and die element 22′ to be rotated at slower rates of rotation, i.e. slower RPM's, and still provide a suitable helical formation of the fibers during extrusion. Table II summarizes the resulting radial tensile strength imparted to a tube formed in accordance with the FIG. 2 embodiment of the present invention.
In each of the embodiments described above, desirable fibrous state formation is achieved by preferably counter-rotating the die with respect to the mandrel. However as stated, it is contemplated that advantageous results may also be achieved by co-rotating the die with the mandrel. By extruding a PTFE tube through one or more rotating members, enhanced fibril formation in a direction generally perpendicular to the extrusion direction may be achieved even where the components are co-rotated. Tube 12 shown in FIG. 3 and formed in accordance with either above-described embodiment of the present invention, is subjected to secondary operations in order to yield a usable medical product. It is well known to subject a tube of PTFE to secondary operations such as stretching and expansion in order to produce an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tube (ePTFE). As is well known in medical applications, especially with respect to grafts, patches and other implantable devices, ePTFE products exhibit certain desirable characteristics such as increased strength especially in the direction of extrusion and better porosity. In the present invention, the secondary operations such as stretching and expansion may take place a manner which is well known in the PTFE art. FIG. 4 is an electron micrograph (900�) of the outer surface 112 of an expanded PTFE tube produced from a precursor green tube prepared using conventional PTFE extrusion technology. As is clear from this micrograph, all nodes 116 are oriented such that their primary axes are essentially perpendicular to the elongation direction. Such a high degree of structural anisotropy results in greater longitudinal strength as compared to radial strength. In contrast, FIG. 5 is an electron micrograph (900�) of the outer surface 212 of an expanded PTFE tube produced from a precursor green tube prepared in accordance with the method described in the present invention. There is clearly a substantial tilting of the node structure 216 such that their primary axes are not exclusively perpendicular to the elongation direction. It is this increased randomness in the fibril/node structure, and specifically the non-perpendicular alignment of the nodes 216, which yields improved physical properties, especially regarding radial tensile strength of the ePTFE tube. Table III summarizes the resultant strength of ePTFE tubes produced from an extruded tube prepared in accordance with the present invention.
Various changes to the foregoing described and shown structures would now be evident to those skilled in the art. Accordingly the particularly disclosed scope of the invention is set forth in the following claims. Patent Citations
