Mari, is John Hopper a climber? I am not familiar with this rose and HMF describes its height as max 5'. I think Sombreuil would look gorgeous with either Clematis Niobe or Ernest Markham. The other reddish-dark purple could be paired with a pale pink climber or maybe with a pale yellow. For example Gloire de Dijon in my garden changes color from pale pink to pale yellow (sometimes with a pale apricot hue), so that would be also good with either Niobe or Ernest Markham. Since you already have two Clems in this color range, consider another color for Crepuscule in the color range of Jackmanii or maybe The President instead of Warsaw Nike, I mean try blues or is bluish purples instead of reddish purple. I do not know what color Falstaff is in your zone but if it is like Tradescant then check out clematis Florida Sieboldi. I have Betty Corning with Zephirine Drouhin and this pair works very well; a plus is that this clematis is fragrant. You do not list Zephy above so if your ZD is already placed somewhere else, you may want to try Betty with Parade. But Betty C. woud work with almost any color, I guess. When you place the red climbers, try to put a pale pink or white between them - reds can clash terribly. Somehow I cannot visualize Westerland with the other climbers on the same structure. Westerland seems to me too harsh or too modern to be placed with the rest. But it is most probably my fault. However I would put W. as far from the reds as possible if it is placed on the same pergola. I am sure you already know the clematis website (http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/) where you can check out all clematis for type, color, size, etc. Good root system is very important in case of clematis, so try to get these vines from a reputable clematis nursery. I got my best clematis from Chalk Hill (http://www.chalkhillclematis.com/) and Silver Star Vinery. I think the best to plant clems in the fall or in your zone in winter, but you may want to choose and reserve them earlier and ask for a late fall or early winter delivery. Here is a link that might be useful: Silver Star nursery

Check with your Dr first, or if you have had therpy, check with them. you could damage something worst.

of course everyone would like a quick fix but nadine01 is right the only way to really lose the flab and tighten those muscles is healthy eating and exercise and it will take time you didnt get flabby over night and you aint gonna be toned over night either believe me i know i was very small in highschool a size 3 but after high school i got married had babies (4 of em in 5 years lol) my youngest in now 11 and im just now getting back in shape part due to the fact that i hate to exercise and i love to eat but i am getting real close to 40 and i have decided to change for me for once just me so i have been eating right, exercising with weights and doing a lot of walking and learning to drink water until about 6 months ago i had not drank a full glass of water since i was a kid i hate the taste of it, still do but i manage to choke it down in 6 months i have lost 40 lbs and 6 inches off my waist :) my goal is a size 5

that a lot of those 'articles' in magazines such as Allure, Self, etc. are nothing more than advertisements. I haven't seen the article myself but I'd be willing to bet that the 'study' being quoted is not a published one; rather it is a study that the manufacturers of the device in question PAID to have done, in other words, they asked the university to do a study on their device that shows their machine to be more effective than crunches. I would take those studies with a GIGANTIC grain of salt! The tobacco industry is famous for this - they have had hundreds of studies done by universities and independent labs over the years, showing that smoking cigarettes does not cause cancer and can actually be healthful! ahhh...riiiiight. I advise you to stick with crunches, and be advised of this old bodybuilders' saying: "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym". In other words, you can have the strongest abs in the world but working your abs is not going to make you burn bodyfat. Most of those models with the six-packs in the ads are professional fitness models whose bodyfat is hovering around 6-8% (men) or 9-13% (women). Rest assured that they did NOT accomplish that low body fat through any of those devices you see advertised in infomercials and magazines! In addition, abdominal fat is usually the most difficult and the last fat to be lost. Body fat loss is very much "first on, last off" - usually the stomach area is the first place that extra fat is stored by your body and it will be the last to go when you're losing it. Given that, it IS a good thing to have strong abs as they support your upper body. The key is in good form and technique. Don't just do a bunch of fast sit-ups or crunches - while you're doing them concentrate on those ab muscles, try and push your bellybutton down to the floor while you're crunching. Don't jerk your head forward with your arms - try to make sure all the work is being done by your ab muscles. The latest issue of Muscle Media is devoted to abs, you may want to go to Safeway and thumb through it. Some great workouts and tips in there - and a lot cheaper at $5.99 vs. spending megabucks on another overhyped device that will probably sit in your closet after the first couple of weeks.
