You know another orange that is unusual? About Face(Grandiflora)! Wow what an interesting beautiful yellow and on the flip side orange to die for. The contrast is stunning. Medium green healthy and lush foliage and tons o' flowers! The blooms can look very HT to "English" double ( comparable to Golden Celebration.) Long vase life and it smells like an apple. It has been my best rose actually. If you don't have it, I would check and see if will grow in your zone. Has been an outstanding rose in all ways. Never stops blooming and starts early. I have almost bought Cinco De Mayo 10 times this spring, and Disneyland looks so fun! I want them all what can I say. :-) Gingersnap is an unusual one. My Dad is into the oranges. He loves his Sunstruck! Allison

Just a note about the ampacity of #6 wire... While it's quite commonly used for nominal "60-amp subpanels", 6/3 NM is actually rated for only 55 amps. The so-called "roundup rule" permits a 60-amp breaker. If you start with 55 amps and figure the load demand for the heater at nearly 16 amps (1500W / 120 X 1.25 = 15.625), that leaves roughly 39 amps for the welder, and with two resistive loads on the panel, there's not much room to discount for diversity when both heater and welder are in use. As a practical matter, your might be OK with your original proposal since a welder requiring a 50-amp circuit is unlikely to draw a full 50-amps for sustained periods. (That's almost got to be true of a welder with a duty cycle as low as 20%!) Nevertheless, this sounds to me like a situation where the reasoned, conservative approach would be to bump up to #4AWG, in which case you could comfortably accommodate sustained loads at the full 60 amps or, better still, use a 70-amp breaker. The difference in wire size would surely add to the cost, but I wouldn't allow the fact that you already have an unused 60-amp breaker to drive the solution. The cost of a new two-pole breaker is pretty modest in the scheme of things. (The price of the wire is a different matter, depending on the length of the run.)

In 1969, in a tiny bathroom that lacked a sink, located in the hall outside our tiny apartment. I was recently married and a teacher when I learned of a book that was written as a hoax, each chapter by a different writer. "Naked Came the Stranger" was written in the attempt to prove that any book could sell, no matter how badly written, if it included enough trite sex. I took the book to the bathroom to read the first chapter while I was otherwise occupied, and after that chapter I never deemed the book worthy of escaping the bathroom. Here is the Wiki description of the book and its authors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Came_the_Stranger I'm amused that the title came to me as soon as I read this thread's question. The book did sell well even before the hoax was revealed.

Such warnings are, I am sad to say, more than appropriate. At monday night I woke up from a big bang and before I even switched the light on I knew already that the worst case had occurred at my windowsill upstairs - "Maestro" had decided to topple over and dispose of the 8 magnificient (and heavy) florets from the first 2 scapes. Fortunately I had taken many pictures before, and the buds on the 3rd scape remained undamaged.
