I was wondering if anyone had a pain on the side of their leg/hip area when you're sleeping at night on your side. It's not a horrible pain but uncomfortable enough where it wakes me up and I have to turn to the other side. I sleep with a pillow between my legs so I'm not sure what else to do. I was wondering if it was because I had gained some weight but I'm 26 weeks and have gained about 13 pounds so not an excessive amount of weight. I don't have my next OB appointment until the 19th of this month so I figured I would ask you ladies to see if anyone else has had this.
Leg/Hip Pain While Sleeping on Your Side

Yep! Round ligament pains. It is also because your body is relaxing preparing for the baby. I had to find a comfortable way to position myself. Once you find what works for you, you will sleep better. I try to sleep on the left side mostly but the little one sometimes makes me flip to the right. When you rotate try a warm heating pad on your hip. It will help some while you give the other side a break. I also find that a wide stretch helps.

Yup! It's horrible honestly. I can't stand it and I complain about it constantly. I have no advice because I can't find relief either... looking for help as well.

Yes, I have had the pain for weeks now! And not to disagree w/last post, but mine is different from the round ligament pain. My leg/hip pain is more of a bone/sciatica type of pain. I do the same thing, lay on left side and wake up w/the pain where you HAVE to move, and then of course it's getting harder and harder to even move myself. I feel like I turn to jelly when I get in bed. I haven't gained much weight so far, probably only like 5 lbs (lost 20 in begining from MS). I don't know if it's a coincidence but I started chewing two Tums every night before bed (Dr. said take them for extra calcium and for heartburn) and it seems like it hasn't been as bad....maybe I needed more calcium? I dunno...but I'm right there with ya. I asked doctor and she just said it's normal, that things are shifting/stretching. I'm actually more comfy sleeping on my couch...
I had it earlier in my pregnancy (like from 12-20 weeks) but it's miraculously vanished! We bought a mattress foam mattress pad which helped a ton...about 100 bucks but well worth the relief! A full body maternity pillow (think it's made by boppy). And tylenol. Good luck. It sucks, I know, but here's hoping your miraculously vanishes as well!
Yep! That's the name I couldn't remember (thanks to preggers) sciatica pain.
Married to my best friend. Mother to my best buddy. Thank God for my men.
Yes, I have it too and had it with my first pregnancy. It's from your weight being unequally distributed. I'm now on the hunt for a pregnancy pillow or body pillow because I've heard that can help.
I have this as well. Done lots of the above. I also use icy hot on my hips/legs. This helps!
Hi ladies and thank you so much for the responses. I never had this pain with my other two pregnancies so this is all new to me. I don't mind switching sides but with our growing bellies and all the pillows I sleep with, it's a whole production just to switch sides. I feel bad for my dh because I know the five minutes I spend switching sides and trying to get comfortable again wakes him up and I have to do this about four or five times a night.
The mattress I have now is fairly new and is one of those pillow top mattresses so I will try to get one of those full body pillows and see if that makes a difference.
Hopefully this will just be temporary and the pain will go away. If not then I guess this is one of those pregnancy things that we just have to deal with.

I had the same thing! Get one of these, the best $15 I ever spent, its a leg spacer pillow, and its wayyyyy better than a pillow between your legs (I had been trying that) because it actually spaces your legs to where your hips have full support while you are sleeping.

Thank you so much Maureen. I am going out shopping today so I will definitely look at Walmart today and see if they have it in stores. If not, then I will order it online because I will try anything to get a good nights sleep before our little girl arrives.

Simple, quick, tasty and elegant! Guests were raving about this dish one week later. Highly recommended!. Have made this with olives and without. (actually threw in some capers as a replacement. ) Both were delicious.flag if inappropriate
Was good...difficult to figure out cook time because I used boneless skinless chicken breasts...but it came out well. Husband enjoyed it.flag if inappropriate
This recipe received a "wow" rating from my ultra-picky teenage son, plus a "please make this again." I used boneless, skinless thighs and cut down on the cooking time accordingly. Also used kalamata olives at the suggestion of other reviewers, and about half the salt.flag if inappropriate
Fabulous and even better the next day. I used a clay cooking dish and halved everything as I only baked one chicken. This is definitely going into my regular rotation.flag if inappropriate
What a mess! Though I drizzled it very carefully, the wine of course popped and splattered like crazy when it met the hot chicken fat. And by the end of cooking the pancetta and garlic had both begun to burn, filling my kitchen with smoke. I've been using epicurious for a long time and this is my first ever negative review - very disappointing!flag if inappropriate
Before cooking, I placed the pancetta and garlic under the skin of the chicken, and cooked as directed. Before removing from the oven, I put on the broil for a few minutes to crisp up the skin (delicious!) Like others have noted, I cut up yukon potatoes and placed them in the pan, and also added some blanched brussell sprouts towards the end to add some veggies and color. Also, I did not add any salt because the olives (I use kalamata) and pancetta provide the right amount of salt .flag if inappropriate
A good recipe. I made with thighs and cut down to scale. This time it did it in a small pyrex dish and wound up pouring out the fat -- next time will follow the recipe and put in a shallow pan. Made with roasted squash with pancetta (complementary, I think) mixed with Israeli couscous. Nice!flag if inappropriate
I made this for my mom's birthday dinner! She loved it, and so did everyone else! I couldn't find oil-cured black olives, so I used Kalamata, which were excellent in this dish! Other than that, I didn't change a thing. Will definitely make again!flag if inappropriate
Outstanding recipe. I used pitted, oil cured olives for ease of eating and I doubled the pancetta, cutting it into 1/2" pieces. Also, after cutting up the chicken, I skinned it.I served this with a wild mushroom risotto. Absolutely delicious.flag if inappropriate
Oh man this was so delicious and so easy! I could see adding some veggies like brussel sprouts or potatoes next time. I used regular kalamata (not oil-cured) b/c they didn't have those at the store and they were still fabulous- I would also suggest green olives as well. My other tweak to the recipe was by accident- I roughly chopped the garlic and noticed some of the smaller pieces were staring to burn during the cooking- so I slid them into the wine sauce and they came out perfect. This recipe is a keeper. I do wonder, though, if using skinless chicken would work- just to try to make it a tad healthier (but I'm not willing to give up the pancetta!)flag if inappropriate

Nepenthes × kinabaluensis
|Nepenthes × kinabaluensis
|Large lower pitcher of N. × kinabaluensis from Mount Kinabalu
|Scientific classification
|Core eudicots
|N. × kinabaluensis
|Binomial name
|Nepenthes × kinabaluensis
Sh.Kurata ex Sh.Kurata (1984)
|Distribution of N. × kinabaluensis.
Nepenthes × kinabaluensis /nɨˈpɛnθiːz ˌkɪnəˌbɑːluːˈɛnsɪs/, or the Kinabalu Pitcher-Plant,[2] is the natural hybrid between N. rajah and N. villosa.[3] It was first collected near Kambarangoh on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo by Lilian Gibbs in 1910 and later mentioned by John Muirhead Macfarlane as "Nepenthes sp." in 1914.[4] Although Macfarlane did not formally name the plant, he noted that "[a]ll available morphological details suggest that this is a hybrid between N. villosa and N. rajah".[5] It was finally described in 1976 by Shigeo Kurata as N. × kinabaluensis. The name was first published in Nepenthes of Mount Kinabalu, but was a nomen nudum at the time as it lacked an adequate description and information on the type specimen. The name was subsequently published validly by Kurata in 1984.[6]
The pitchers of N. × kinabaluensis may be quite large, but do not compare to those of N. rajah or N. × alisaputrana (N. burbidgeae × N. rajah). Nepenthes × kinabaluensis can only be found on Mount Kinabalu (hence the name) and nearby Mount Tambuyukon, where the two parent species occur sympatrically.[7] More specifically, plants are known from a footpath near Paka Cave and several places along an unestablished route on a south-east ridge, which lies on the west side of the Upper Kolopis River.[4] The only accessible location from which this hybrid is known is the Kinabalu summit trail, between Layang-Layang and the helipad, where it grows at about 2900 m in a clearing dominated by Dacrydium gibbsiae and Leptospermum recurvum trees. Nepenthes × kinabaluensis has an altitudinal distribution of 2420 to 3030 m.[8] It grows in open areas in cloud forest.
The hybrid is generally intermediate in appearance between its parent species. Raised ribs line the inner edge of the peristome and end with elongated teeth. These are more prominent than those found in N. rajah and smaller than those of N. villosa. The peristome is coarse and expanded at the margin (but not scalloped like that of N. rajah), the lid orbiculate or reniform and almost flat. In general, pitchers are larger than those of N. villosa and the tendril joins the apex about 1–2 cm below the leaf tip, a feature which is characteristic of N. rajah.[9] In older plants, the tendril can be almost woody. N. × kinabaluensis is an indumentum of villous hairs covering the pitchers and leaf margins, which is approximately intermediate between the parents. Lower pitchers have two fringed wings, whereas the upper pitchers usually lack these. The colour of the pitcher varies from yellow to scarlet. N. × kinabaluensis seems to produce upper pitchers more readily than either of its parents. In all respects N. × kinabaluensis is intermediate between the two parent species and it is easy to distinguish from all other Nepenthes of Borneo. However, it has been confused once before, when the hybrid was identified as N. rajah in Letts Guide to Carnivorous Plants of the World.[10]

Meles Zenawi, Ethiopia's memorable and disciplined prime minister died on Monday night, a spokesperson for the leader said on Tuesday. He passed away in a hospital on Brussels from an undisclosed illness that has puzzled outsiders for many months now. He was only 57. The New York Times notes that Meles Zenawi contracted a secondary infection at the unknown hospital in Brussels which caused his health to fail quite suddenly.
Mr. Meles became prime minister in 1995 after he pushed his way into power and quickly squashed any type of oppositional movement in his wake. That track record remained accurate into this year. The New York Times most succinctly portrays the differing views of the spearheading leader:
Mr. Meles was seen as the mastermind behind many of his government's plans. While many human rights groups vilified him, some development experts celebrated him, saying Ethiopia has vastly better famine prevention programs than it did when Mr. Meles's insurgent group seized power in 1991.
He came to power after ousting communist leader, Mengistu Haile Mariam, in the early 1990s. To do so, he became the leader of a guerilla rebel group that eventually came to power and he took the office of Prime Minister in 1995. Many people who worked with him portrayed him as an austere, focused and intellectual personality. Despite his successes in boosting the Ethiopian economy at lightning speeds, (it expanded by 7 percent last year) many human rights advocates have criticized his steely clench on the press and the freedom of speech in Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian government put away two Swedish journalists for 11 years each last year and jailed a local Ethiopian journalist as well after they were accused of dabbling in oppositional movements. Many journalists and people who oppose the government are quickly shut down and shut out, leading global critics to categorize Ethiopia as one of the worst human rights violators in recent decades. The government has also been criticized for displacing groups in order to build a dam in a region of the country.
Western leaders, especially from the UK and the United States, often praised Mr. Meles for his work in fighting Islamist militants in Somalia, which also made him many enemies in that very same country for his alliance with western powers. Critics of the government have been hopeful that Ethiopia's current governmental structure will topple in the wake of the leader's sudden death.
Current leaders of the government have affirmed that business will go on as usual and the minister of foreign affairs, Hailemariam Desalegn, will step in as a fully functional Prime Minister. These assertions come in the wake of statements made by Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, that a power vacuum could affect the region severely. In recent months, Mr. Meles had been heavily involved in trying to broker peace between Sudan and South Sudan.
Western leaders, such as Britain and the United States, will miss this leader. He was one of the most favored African allies to western powers in recent years, providing resources for many of the western projects that are currently ongoing in Africa.

I made this last night for dinner. Delicious! I used Apothic Red for the wine. I cooked the bacon first and poured off most of the grease. I used the bacon fat to brown off the chicken. Poured off the grease again. Then sautéed the onion, carrots and celery. Then followed the recipe as written. After it had cooked in the oven for the 1 and a half hours, there was an oil slick covering the top. I'm not sure why it was so greasy. I did strain out everything and use my gravy grease separator to get the grease out before continuing with reducing the wine. It was still too "liquid," so I used a beure manie to thicken a bit. (Thanks to the reviewer who mentioned using this. I had not heard of this method of thickening gravy. So I googled it, and wow! it works like a charm. Definitely adding this method to my cooking repertoire! I served it with mashed potatoes - which was perfect. Although it is a time consuming recipe, I will most definitely make again - probably for Christmas dinner. It was that good. The fact that it can be made ahead, then re-heated makes it even better!flag if inappropriate
I've made this several times and while it is time consuming it is definitely worth it. It is very flavorful and hearty.flag if inappropriate
I followed the recipe exactly. Rosemary overpowers the dish and the mushrooms leave little flavor, probably because they are added at the end. I will look for another recipe to make this classic dish. Sad Face!flag if inappropriate
It's a lot of effort for a recipe that is just OK. Not outstanding in any way.flag if inappropriate
Trying in Sept 2014. It's too much liquid. Because there was so much liquid, I reduced for 1 1/2 hours (rather than 20 minutes as stated in the recipe). In the future, I would only use 2 cups of wine and only 3 cups (24 oz) broth. I might cut up the chicken before serving to make it easier to eat. I don't think so much bacon is necessary; I would use less. In the future I would add more carrots. I used button mushrooms and added them before putting the dish in the oven.flag if inappropriate
Very good! Rich and full of flavor, be sure to use a good wine, and good fresh herbs as well as those flavors are important and prominent. This is a very rich chicken dish, definitely on my list of comforting foods. As another reviewer noted, this probably took close to 3 hours to make overall, but it is worth it. Will make again!flag if inappropriate
This was okay....kind of underwhelmed by it and it took a lot of time. There are better chicken recipes that are far more healthy and require lots less time.flag if inappropriate
Outstanding recipe. Time consuming, yes but worth it. I like others browned the bacon first, drained most of the fat and browned the chicken in the same pan.Husband is looking forward to leftovers on this one!flag if inappropriate
I neglected to rate this with my review. 4 forks, for sure!flag if inappropriate
YUM! I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and cooked the bacon first. After saving the excess bacon grease, I had a nice coating in the dutch oven in which to brown the chicken although I added 1 tsp of bacon grease to the mixture once it was simmering. As for the vegetables, I wound up using 5 stalks of celery (rather than 3) and 4 carrots (rather than 3) because one of my guests didn't eat mushrooms. I also followed the suggestion to throw in some shallots -- not many, maybe one or two, sliced -- and a couple of garlic cloves. It was outstanding. Between the three of us, there was nothing left of this dish. My male guest said his plate looked as though he'd eaten a 6-legged chicken. I personally thought mine looked like a caveman had stopped by. I served this dish with a Paleo yorkshire pudding (i.e. muffin), which made for a good sopping up of the sauce. I also had a mixed green salad with walnuts, dried cherries, red onion, fig balsamic and olive oil. It was a good accompaniment to a heavier main course. FYI -- this dish takes a good 3 hours to prepare, but I did my salad and muffins while the dish was cooking down. It was a good meal all the way around.flag if inappropriate

This is a transposition of a mathematical study about labyrinths.
Each of the four labyrinth has is unicursal, but has a different path. For mathematicians the differents paths are codified by a different sequence of numbers, but for the tradition each path has a different meanning:a different way to go to the center.
The most famous is the first (in red and yellow) which is also called Creta labyrinth.
How cool! I love the inspiration; very original.

Pam's August 2011 story about places to buy an affordable mid century modern style sofa continues to be one of the most popular stories on the blog. And good news — in the year and half since this first story, there are even more, affordable mid century modern style sofas that are available for sale. The mid mod madness is as mad as ever! Pam asked me to go "online shopping" to help out all the readers looking for sleek sofas — so here is your 2013 update. This story took me two full days — I dug deep — and found 240 mid century styled sofas, for sale at 33 companies. That's a lot of sofas! In fact, I am pretty much dizzy with sofas dancing in my head.
For this research:
- We defined "affordable" as less than $2,000.
- Some of these are more "modern" than "mid century modern". We gave some latitude.
- Our research is fundamentally about aesthetics and price — we did not broach issues of comfort or durability and how all these issues dial up to "value". You're gonna need to your own research to make these determinations, including checking warranty and return policies. While we do get comments here, I am not sure they are in great enough volume to be considered "statistically accurate". Another place to look might be: Manufacturers' own websites; Pam says she likes it when they are transparent about letting folks post reviews right on those sites.
- We've also tried to include all the mid century sofas available from each company.
- Remember, if you want a fantastic sofa cheap — shop vintage. Many sofas back in the day were built like tanks. However, if you need to reupholster, that can get very expensive very quickly.
Younger Furniture:
Younger Furniture's new line — Avenue 62 — has some great mid century inspired sofas, including one of my favorites — the Lewis — above.
Pam's favorite — the Lily sofa (above in gray) is the first sofa she would look at if she were on the market for a sofa today. As Gavin pointed out on Pam's original post about Younger, the Lilly is very similar to original Dunbar designs.
In fact — Younger Furniture has quite a few mid century styled sofas that are also available in quite a selection of colors — from brights to neutrals.
Thrive Home Furnishings:
This one is new to the list — for good reason. Thrive Home Furnishings has a great selection of mid century modern sofas that are designed and made in the USA. They even source American-made raw materials for their sofas. Most sofas are priced between $1,349 – $1,899 and are available in several era appropriate fabric color choices as well as with two different stain options for the legs. If you are willing to spend a little more — $2,500 — their Cleveland sofa looks very similar to the gondola style sofas that so many people are so crazy about.
Although Macy's seems to have discontinued the popular Corona style sofa — their replacement — the Clare — seems to be a pretty close match. The sofa is stylish and inexpensive. There are four other good mid century options available — see below. Most of these styles seem to be on a continual sale for $699. A reader also suggests that if you get a Macy's card same day, you get another 15% discount — also watch for tax-free sales events. Mid century modern style sofas and loveseats from Macys.
During a visit to Rejuvenation Lighting several years ago, Pam spotted this line of furniture for sale in their large showroom. It's Castellano Custom Furniture — made right in Portland, and it sure appeared to be the real deal. They have a few mid century options on their website — but you'd have to contact them or visit a showroom to see what else they might have to offer. Though we aren't sure it really hits under $2,000, we're keeping it on the list anyway, it's probably in the range. Modern sofa from Castellano Custom Furniture.
Perch Furniture:
Above, Gracie sofa by Perch Furniture. Based in Portland (there is a bird in their logo tee hee), workshop in LA. These guys get double extra bonus points for rockin' the orange. Also available are the three other mid century-esque styles below.
Design Within Reach
There aren't many sofas in our targeted price point at Design within Reach — the 73″ model above — DWR's Bantam Sofa — comes in just over this mark at $2,180. I like it enough to wait for a sale or save up the extra do-ray-me though — and it comes in several both bright and neutral color combinations with the option of light or dark legs. DWR only has two other mid century styled sofas under $2K– the authentic looking Case Study day bed ($1,698) and the Twilight day bed ($1,900). There are more mid century modern sofa styles available — but for those, you'll have to shell out the big bucks
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams:
There are several good mid century styled sofa options from this company — though I excluded a few more options that were not available online because they didn't have a listed price. The Cara sofa by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams shown above is my favorite of the bunch — lovely looking — and it is listed at $1,895. I did find several online options between $1,325 and $2,000 — shown below.
Rowe Furniture:
The Duncan (above) is just one of least 12 sofas from Rowe Furniture that could look beautiful in our mid century interiors. Even more, really — a lot of their line has what I'd call "modern-to-traditional" styling, meaning they are very versatile and come in a rainbow of colors. Easy-to-use website. Prices are not listed — but I'm guessing they would fit in our $2K and under budget. Mid century style couches by Rowe.
Room & Board:
Room & Board has a large variety of mid century sofas under $2K — such as my personal favorite — the Reese above. Not only are there 15 styles to choose from in this price point — but each style also has several color options — from neutrals to colors that work well with mid century decor. Mid century and modern sofas by Room and Board.
Lee Industries:
The sofas at Lee Industries tend much more toward traditional and even wonderful mid-\ century modest. The Lee page is fun to look at — so many shapes and sizes — but no prices listed. Sofas by Lee Industries.
Lazar Industries
There are 16 choices from Lazar Industries — ranging from modern to mid century modern — including my favorite, the Paramount above — all made in the U.S.A. Mid century and modern style sofas from Lazar Industries.
Monarch Sofas:
Reader Gavin served up Sofa Craft, now known as Monarch Sofas, a third-generation family-owned company with showrooms in California and Texas. Some nice looking sofas at great prices, here, and Gavin says, "Made in USA, good prices, foam or down, choice of springs and best yet: A Warranty!" Above: The Eva. Mid century style sofas from Sofa Craft/Monarch Sofas.
There are some *possibilities* in this collection by Michael Weiss for Vanguard.
One thing to consider and check for, on all the sofas that I show, is their size and scale. Back in the day, sofas were not 40″ deep — oversized — the way they often are today. Some of these sofas are more less-deep and less-high than others — more "authentically" proportioned for smaller mid century rooms with lower ceilings. Mid century = long, low, horizontal lines. On the other hand, deep sofas can be very comfortable if you are tall or large and also if you like to hunker down to watch TV. So — thinking about the proportion of the sofa to your space, vetted with how you will realistically use it, is the task. I'm going to guess that the sofas in this Vanguard line come in under $2,000 if you don't go too crazy with the upholstery. Michael Weiss mid century style sofas for Vanguard.
Gus Modern:
Gus Modern has a lot of mid century modern sofa styles — they seem to be going after this market pretty aggressively.
West Elm:
You got your numerous choices from West Elm.
Ethan Allen:
Don't forget to check Ethan Allen.
Crate & Barrel:
Crate & Barrel gets in, with their Petrie Sofa. Petrie sofa from Crate and Barrel.
The lines of CB2's Avec are too forced for me, but it seems to have its fans. Avec sofa from CB2.
Plummers/Dania/Scandinavian Designs:
The offerings at Plummers, Dania and Scandinavian Designs seem to be identical — as are the websites. That's because they are all brands run by the same company — and all are made right here in the USA. We first heard about Plummers from Tikimama — who spotted this Paramount sofa.
Pottery Barn:
Pottery Barn has a few options that might work — like the Landon sofa above.
Ikea has several affordable sofa options for mid century modern living rooms. I've only ever owned a Klippan — which was firm but comfortable, though a bit short for cat naps. It held up well, and I sold it because I wanted a larger couch for my tiny living room and didn't have room to keep both. I've heard good things about the Karlstad sofa, but have never sat on one myself. To be sure, their products are generally inexpensive. The Kivik sofa, above, is $649. In regard to buying a sofa, I'd generally counsel to buy the best you can possibly afford — aim to own it a lifetime, even.
Urban Outfitters:
If you're considering the cheap and cheerful route, take a look at Urban Outfitters. They have several mid century styled small scale sofas — some of which are even convertible — all of which are inexpensive ranging from $399-$649.
Based in Winnipeg, EQ3 was founded in 2001 with the goal of offering more modern furniture to the North American market. EQ3 sells a wide variety of mid century modern sofa styles — all of which can be customized with fabric and leg choices they offer. My favorite is the Byrd sofa shown above — which retails for $1,099.
True Modern:
Here's the True Modern Luna sofa, with its Danish Modern legs — available in several configurations, each of their mid mod sofa styles can be customized to fit your needs. Check out this company's Sample Sale area, too. Mid Century Sofas from True Modern Furniture.
Blue Dot:
Blu Dot has a few options. Pam says that she does not approve of the name of this sofa. Mid century modern sofas by Blu Dot.
White on White:
After Pam's original story, reader Kurt suggested the "Florence Knoll" knockoff from White on White — the Oslo — shown above. At 57″ wide, I'd not quite call this a sofa, but it makes the list because it's nice to see new, smaller companies. It seems they have added a few more offerings to the list. See all the mid century modern sofas at White on White.
Z Gallerie:
On our last sofa round up — a reader commented that Z Gallerie had a few mid century modern sofa options — including the Vapor above.
Funky Sofa:
Funky Sofa pretty much offers what the name suggests — brightly colored unusual sofa choices. A few of their offerings would feel right at home in a mid century modern space — specifically the Mid Century sofa above. The sofas are made in the USA in Orange County, Calif.
Palliser's selection of mid century modern sofas leans a bit more towards the contemporary — but they still offer a wide range of fabric choices and several styles that would work in a mid century setting. These sofas are made in North America — in one of the company's two plants in Winnipeg, Canada or Saltillo, Mexico.
Lexington also has a few options for mid century modern sofas.
Heywood Wakefield
Hey, do not be forgetting, you can STILL get Heywood-Wakefield sofas — NEW. Yes, they are still being manufactured, by a company that bought the rights. That's the Margaret, above — and two more options below. Heywood-Wakefield sofas still made today.
Futurama Furniture
Thanks to a tip from reader Wendy, we discovered Futurama Furniture — a small furniture company that has been making affordable midcentury style sofas using the same old school tried and true fabrication techniques and materials that were used to make the originals. Futurama's founder Jeffrey Perry started the company in 1986 to fill a niche he saw in the market and is one of the pioneers that returned midcentury style furnishings to the market.
Joybird Furniture
Joybird Furniture is a relative newcomer to the midcentury furniture market, offering many styles of affordably priced sofas in a rainbow of colors. Joybird keeps their costs down because they are a 'manutailer' meaning they both manufacture and sell their products, which helps them to cut out the middleman and keep prices low. So far, their sofas have been getting good reviews.
Thanks, readers, for your continuing help in making this the #1 most conclusive list of midcentury modern style sofas in the U.S. interior design blog world. If you find more manufacturers — let me know via the Comments.
Looking for an MCM sectional? See this round up story — 25 mid century modern style sofa sectionals:
We've had the Rowe Martin sofa for about 2 years. It's in our only living space and gets daily (ab)use from two teenagers, small dog and two adults. it is also a good size for an adult to sleep although it is not a pull-out. It has held up well including the velvet-ish dark brown fabric.
Thanks for all your research on other options. It is heartening to see so many embracing the mid-century/retro vibe.
I was excited by the Jonathan Adler sofas at Penney's this weekend, but alas they don't fall within the price parameters.However, Penney's is carrying some fantastic & affordable bedroom furniture.
Wow! You certainly went to A LOT of work with this comprehensive list! I can hardly believe it took only two days to compile! Would have taken me a week, at least!
I will say that I can vouch for the Rowe Dorset sectional. We have one, in lime green, and its great. I want to note that this sectional gives you the option of a curve section piece, not just the "L" shape. I got the curve, but I think you are limited in fabric choices because of the curve.
We considered the Abbot, but it is much smaller scaled. For a smallish room it would be perfect.
Super article! I was surprised to not find my sofa maker among the list though. I bought the "Ryan" in both a sofa and a chair from BuildASofa two years ago, both pieces for under $2200, both made in the USA and I love them both. I loved that BuildASofa allowed me to choose the fabric, density of the cushion foam and the foot color. They will also custom build the length to the inch exactly as you want it. Many of their styles can be made as sleeper sofas, and all can be made as sectionals. Turn around time for mine was 6 weeks, which I thought very reasonable. I'll grant that I don't use them often, but two years later and mine still look like new. You might give them a look! Again, awesome article!! Thanks!
Thanks for the tip D'lynne. I'm liking the McKinley in the BuildASofa collection, it's much more in line with what I'm looking for. I'm thinking it would be perfect in Harvest Gold or maybe a nice burnt orange (bittersweet?), maybe even a plaid.
I also noticed the Baltimore and the Bowen – wouldn't they look great in a "Hollywood Regency" inspired living room? Are any of our fellow retro renovators interested in that kind of look?
I can't even stand all these options! This is so great. I still have my corona suite – they will be 4 this August – they still look good and may have just a bit of flattening – but again could be a bit more support.
I'm happy to send along a picture if you wanted.
First of all, great list! The last one really helped me in my sofa search. We had the Rowe Dorset delivered about a month ago and I'm thrilled with it! The price range at our local furniture store was between $1100 and $1400-ish, depending on the upholstry chosen. You can even do contrast piping (which I chose not to do, but would look fantastic in a more formal room.) Rowe also offers a lifetime warranty on the cushions, which is a nice plus.
Holy mackerel Kate! Nice bit of sleuthing.
I'm still on the fence about mid mod sofas. I'm not terribly keen on the look and I just can't imagine myself curled up on one for an afternoon of TV watching. Am I wrong? I'm looking for a more "comfy, country contemporary" look, which was a popular style in the 1960s and 1970s where I grew up. Skirted couches and chairs with curved arms. Back in March, Pam posted the "101 Ways to Decorate with Knotty Pine" article. The living room featured in that house is a bit closer to what I want.
Yes, Robin, I think that's what I'm looking for, too. I've searched and searched for a vintage one but just can't find one that isn't so beaten up. I think it may be that furniture in this style was more "family friendly" and therefore, got a ton of use and abuse. They seem to have been in family rooms and rec rooms instead of "living rooms." When I grew up, we were not even allowed in the living room. It was totally off limits and unused except for "special company." I think that styles are trending more 'modern' now and there may be an aversion to all thinks that may even hint at "country" even though it's retro Colonial Revival that we're after.
We have had the Blu Dot "One night stand sleeper sofa" for about a year now and we love it. It's a bit on the firm side as compared to the Macy's leather sofa that it replaced but very comfortable and looks very high end. Love the grey fabric version which is what we got.
You need to either look at a lot of reviews on sofas in this price range or preferably try them out in person (I know this is obvious but it's hard for those that may not be near a large city) because we found many models were not comfortable. Also, it's like picking out a mattress to some extent, figure out where on the spectrum you are from firm to super soft and work from there.
Thank you! Thank you!! For this very comprehensive list! We currently have a wonderful sofa & matching chair set sitting in our dining room waiting to go back to seller. It is a wonderful old mid century set but DOES NOT fit our extra large bodies & older age!! My husband is not comfortable on it at all & has trouble with the low seat level. We are very much trying to keep the living room mid century but he does deserve a comfortable place to enjoy his tv!!! After all your research did one stand out as being mid century but comfortable for larger people that wanted to be really comfy while relaxing at the end of the day? Great work Kate!!
Could you post sources for the 'mid-century modest' sofas that so many of grew up with. I'm thinking of the 'colonial revival' type furniture that was so popular with more everyday, less fashion forward home owners of the 50's-70's period. Some, like Ethan Allen, called it "Early American" in their stores and books.
Yes! Thanks Lisa, this is totally what I'm after too. Just about everyone in my family went for the "colonial" look in a big way, especially as the bicentennial approached.
I was going to say that IKEA has several that I've always felt had that vintage 40s and 50s feel to them. For a while they had one that came in bright orange leather. It was so fun. The orange has been changed out for a hot pink/lipstick red.
That very first sofa that you picture (IKEA) reminds me so much of the sofa sleeper that my parents had. I've never know what they're called, but on theirs, the back pulled forward and then folded down to form a larger sleeping area. It was never a real comfortable place to sleep, but extra space when needed.
Typing much too fast this morning…..That should be I've never 'known'…;-)
I've got an IKEA chaise lounge that I really love that is similar to the PS IKEA sofa pictured above. Its on its second cover, but the frame and cushions are in great shape after 6 years. One of the reasons why IKEA sofas are less expensive is that often the frame and cushions are of much higher quality than the fabric. Almost all of the IKEA sofas have removable covers, which is great if you have kids, or want to be able to change the color of your sofa inexpensively. The downside is that after 3 or 4 years the fabric can sometimes start to look shabby, even if you don't want to change it.
Great list!
I can attest to the quality of the Mitchell Gold sofas. I currently have the Gabriel (not on your list), as well as the Dexter chair. They are 3 years old, and are fantastic. Something to know about Mitchell Gold is that they have many custom fabric choices that can swing the price up or down significantly (not really presented on their website). If you have a store that carries MG near you, it's worth the effort to see the many choices, and price out different fabric selections that fit within your budget and taste.
Something else of note is that MG offers 20% off custom upholstery a couple of times per year. I waited for this offer, and it was well worth it.
We opted to spend a little out of our comfort zone for MG, since we had just come off of two different sofas and chairs from Room and Board (the first sofa and chair fell apart quickly with very little use. R&B allowed us to exchange for different selections. Still really poor. we called it "the torture sofa", since it hurt the frame hurt the back of your legs–two years in.)
I can tell you the *slight* jump in price to MG is SO worth it. The quality of MG is worlds better than R&B, and the ubiquitous C&B Petrie that so many of my friends seem to have, and have had to exchange/fix due to flattened cushions after a short period, and buttons falling off.
I will back you up. I just got a Mitchell Gold Hunter in January. After going to see as many sofas as my wife and I could it was between the Hunter and Reese at Room and Board. The Hunter won, it just seemed like it was higher quality. It's a bit more modern than mid century, but fits very well with our vintage pieces. The best part is getting that look with the modern proportions. We got the 101″ version and it is DEEP too. I'm 6'4″ and really wanted a couch my wife and I could both stretch out and be comfortable on. So many of the mid century styled couches are stuck in the 80″-86″ zone and are quite small.
MG has a lot of expensive stuff but I was kind of surprised what value their couches are. I paid around $1600 with coupon, not very different than similar Room and Board options. In fact I think it ended up being less than the most directly comparable couches at R&B. It's still only been 4 months for me so I am still in the honeymoon period, but so far so good.
I own the Taylor loveseat (more like and apartment sized sofa) from Thrive firniture in the fabric Cordova Eclipse. We've had it almost a year now, and it's holding up wonderfully. It is a very beautiful sofa, and extrememly sturdy. It's very comfortable to sit on, or nap on, but it still has the look I wanted. The customer service was absolutely top notch. The only wear is on one arm where the cat decided to use it as a scratching post, and the fabric got a ilttle frayed, but I don't fault the sofa for that. The cushions are holding up well, and it looks great, and I live ina house with 2 kids, 4 dogs, and 2 cats. So if it still looks new after a year, I'm pretty impressed. It's also made in America, which was a big bonus for us. I hightly, highly recommend this sofa.
This list is outstanding! I really appreciate it – hubs and I are looking for a replacement for our EQ3 Replay loveseat. I especially love the couches from Thrive and Funky Sofa!
I really recommend the EQ3 brand, by the way. We're replacing the love seat (7 yrs old) only because we want something larger.
Another mark against Gus Modern… we bought a $3,200 Jane Bi-sectional Loft and had it for 1 year in our HOLIDAY apartment (while my husband was getting his green card, we could only visit). It sagged and lost 4 buttons in under a year. And we were only in the apartment 6 months out of that year!!
Gus Modern would NOT fix my sofa under warranty because they kept telling me I had to go through the dealer, and the dealer was unreachable. I later learned he went out of business. By then the year was up. Gus Modern never fixed the problem.
And the cushions are not all "flippable" because of the sectional piece, unless you can change which side your chaise is on.
That was $3,200 of my hard-earned money down the drain.
For that we could have easily bought an amazing vintage sofa, with springs, for cheap, and reupholstered it in a high-end fabric… or bought one already reupholstered by an expert. With money to spare to go on a short trip! Then I wouldn't have wasted hours on the phone, or spent months living with a visible reminder of how I got scammed.
In short: Avoid Gus Modern.
And, for that matter, don't buy a sofa without springs. Without springs, the "kiln-dried hardwood frame" will not keep your sofa comfortable.

Gus* Modern
Wow, lots of research there. Several pretty ones but I am all about couch comfort/lounging…I have the ugliest but so comfortable couches I found at thrift stores several years ago. They are beaten to death with my jumping kids but still comfortable & haven't collapsed yet…I will probably just get them reupholstered, if they still hold up, when I find the right fabric. I would recommend checking out old books on furniture building/upholstery to see what to look for in good construction (coil springs/edge roll)…I've seen very expensive couches that I knew were not built well.
And, I so wish I could pick up these vintage lovelies…why are all awesome things in another state? Hope somebody here will get them:
Hopefully, my vintage set will be coming out of storage, going through a good cleaning and gracing my living room soon . . . (soon)
Kate, I can easily see how the original article was one of the most popular on the site, I am pretty sure that's the article that led me here to RR for the very first time!
I actually had ordered the Duncan matching chair and sofa from Rowe originally but the pieces were delivered in mismatched fabrics which I used as an excuse to send them back. The chair was stunning and very well built but the back cushion didn't fill in enough of the seat making it impossible to get a good position… I am 6 ft. tall and I felt like a little kid with my feet barely touching the floor.
I ended up with the matching Corona chair and sofa from Macy's in Stone instead. Initially I was worried as the cushions looked to be getting smooshed a little fast but they look brand new each time you flip them. Some of the reviews say they don't flip well but this is incorrect, the end pieces are shaped but you overcome that by flipping left to right and upside down.
I've been very happy with these, the price and look is right, and most importantly you can actually find these in a store to "try on" which I would warn is a big consideration after my experience with the Rowe pieces.
When I purchased my Corona set my salesman told me they were being discontinued which was a surprise to him as this was a top seller for Macy's. Now I see why, the style has been reinvented as Clare with a much bigger color palette.
Your timing is great as I need a chair and ottoman for my den. Its mind blowing how exponentially the choices have expanded since the original article. It's a good time to be a MCModernist!
PS Despite my comments regarding "trying it on" I think Thrive would be a very viable choice with their fantastic guarantee. The Nixon chair is on my list of faves for a new Den chair and their fabric choices are downright mouth-watering.
I have a sofa from Thrive. They have a great return policy. I bought one model which arrived on time. It had a very deep seat. I am short, and when I sat back in the seat, my legs stuck out like a little boy! I knew this would not work. I called them up; they helped me pick out a new model which was ready in three weeks. Delivery men switched them out and everything was fine. Also, I like supporting a Made in America company.
We have the Nixon sofa from Thrive in expectation grey and absolutely love it. Delivery is only to the curb unless you ask for white glove service at an additional expense, so make sure you straigten that out when you purchase. Ours shipped to New York, but I actually had my sister go to their factory (they didnt have a show room at the time) in Compton to sit in it. The people there, especially Calvin, were great and gave us a 20% discount for coming in. The new chairs also look great, and I can't wait to get our sofa some company.
With the help of your original article, we discovered Rowe and ordered a Dorset sectional in a thick tweedy lime-avocado green upholstery and the throw pillows are the same orange/teal/green dots as with the Duncan pictured in this article.
We've had it about a year and love it. I think ours is about 110″ wide with the chaise on the right end. It's very comfortable – sometimes my husband and I can nap on it at the same time. But despite the large size, the scale isn't overwhelming. I'm short and my legs can still touch the floor when seated normally (but that pretty much never happens, I'm usually lounging on it). And the back is the same height as our front windowsill, so it's not very tall.
The biggest selling point for us is that Rowe does a lifetime cushion guarantee. Free replacement if the cushions ever get smooshed down and lose their shape! Even after a year, they still feel like new. No butt-prints yet!
Plus, made in Virginia!
And just this week I asked my Mom, "how long does one keep a sofa?", as I'm tired of mine and would like something smaller.
So, I plan to sell my old sofa & matching chair/footstool and then purchase something newer. I like the Margaret by Heywood Wakefield –
But why didn't you count them in your Mid mod count?
Many vintage couches are either filthy beyond recovery short of reupholstery, or in need of all new foam, so we opten for a. new couch with vintage style. We're on a pretty tight budget, so while we'd LOVE that funky Thrive"Cleveland," we decided to go on the low-end of the price spectrum with the Macy's "Claire," and we love it. Did I mention we have kids? They will destroy a couch in no time, so we didn't want to spend too much $$$! We purchased during a 20% off sale and saved another 10% by openng an account at the same time, so it came in at under $700 delivered. . . great value for the price. We'll probably change the legs out for a lighter finish.
This is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Thanks for posting Kate. I see some incredible designs here that I'd love to re-create in miniature!
Fantastic job!
Got ours at Macy's on sale. Paid less than half for our love seat and it goes very well with our Drexel office furniture. Can't wait to have more room to get another!
I noticed that you omitted the Jonathan Adler collaboration with jCPenney. I am glad that you did as they raised the price on both sofas by $1000 since you mentioned them and do not have any floor displays available within 100 miles and I live in a big city. Very disappointing. I would like to go with the Macy's Clare but the reviews regarding wear are terrible. Does anyone have a good experience with the Clare?
I just bought the Michael sofa & side chair with ottoman from Younger Furniture. It is so awesome – looks terrific with our Heywood Wakefield end tables. Thanks Pam for keeping us mid century folks happy!
These couches look really comfortable. I would love to own any of them, especially the one by Bantam. It looks a lot like this one I love. http://www.switchmodern.com/Sofas/Moooi-Bottoni-Sofa.asp
My husband and I just got our first ever brand new sofa last week. We chose the "small sofa" version of the Dorset by Rowe (76 inches long) in medium grey to fit in our tiny condo family. So far we love it! The sale price under $900 and the cushion guarantee certainly helped our decision. The microfiber also seems to be really pet friendly, one swipe with our vacuum easily removes any pet hair.
Are any of these under $500? If not, can I challenge you to come up with a collection of Mid Century inspired sofas under $500?
Checkout Joybird.com, many selections less then 2000, all custom. I'll skip all these for what I found there.
Whatever you do, don't buy the Mid-Century from Urban Outfitters. Had it up against a wall, barely sat in it and the back right leg was cracked and broke within two months. I weigh 115lbs and my husband is 138 lbs so it's not like we are large people. Save your money and get something a little more expensive because it seems you get what you pay for.
Hey there – I noticed you did not include Bobby Berk Home sofas. Any reason? Just curious what your thoughts are on their products especially the Brady sofa.
We've recently purchased a Madison sofa and two Madison chairs in fabric from Thrive via an ad on this fine web site. We were very pleased with the furniture and the company was solid to work with. Their construction is great and the furniture is comfortable. We also recently purchased a sofa and two recliner rockers from Palliser in black leather and are very pleased with those as well. When you purchase leather, make sure they sew it with nylon thread because it won't rot out like a natural fiber such as cotton. We've had that happen were the leather on some previously purchased name brand furniture was fine but the stitching rotted out and the seams came apart and it looked really bad. This was after 10 years but it's sad and as expensive as they were we were expecting more lifespan than that out of leather. I called the Palliser factory before we purchased and they told me they stitched with nylon. We've had them in use for about 8 months now and have found the overall quality and comfort of the sofa and chairs are excellent.
I purchased the Hadley sofa in charcoal from Rooms to Go. It has the mid century lines that I was looking for at a reasonable price. It was also important to be able to actually go see it and sit on it. I also stretched out on it to see if I could nap comfortably, since I'm so tall. Is it exactly the style I was looking for? No, but it is close, comfortable, and affordable. http://www.roomstogo.com/isofa/
I bought the 'Darrin' fabric sofa on sale from JC Penney last year for around $800 with tax and shipping. In terms of size (I'm around 6′ and can stretch out on it) quality (foam and feather cushions make it very comfortable and it still looks great a year later) and style (rivals some I've seen for four times the price) I think it is worth mentioning! http://www.jcpenney.com/for-the-home/furniture/living-room-sets/darrin-collection/darrin-89%22-fabric-sofa/prod.jump?ppId=pp5001030012
Try VanGogh too! I just bought the most gorgeous sofa for $1,700.00! I got to pick my own fabric, add 6″ and select the feet. The site is vangoghdesigns.com. The legs on "Leg Options Page 5" are excellent. Specifically, see the Loredana. Totally googie. It's almost impossible to get googie anywhere, much less being able to choose your own fabric. And, bonus of bonuses? They have prints! It's virtually impossible to find prints these days.
Thought I'd look at RetroRanchORama's find – but tell us – what was the sofa style you went with?
The Loredana legs are very cool, I agree! (Found under Product Info) http://vangoghdesigns.com/search.asp?cname=Leg%20Options&qt=3
But what does googie mean?
What a great list! I am inspired. Can you help us in Hawaii? We have admired the Reece sofa from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and it is expensive here and & $1500 cheaper on line but they don't deliver to Hawaii. Any ideas where to get a sofa with clean lines in Hawaii? Thanx in advance.
When I lived on Oahu, Room and Board delivered there. We did have some quality issues, but the proper scale was hard to find in HI (big furniture/small apt). Have you tried Pacific Home? They are on Oahu and Maui and carry MG. Great store: http://www.pacific-home.com/
Good luck!
Hi! Thanks so much for this super awesome post!! I'd love to see something similar on MCM convertibles/sleeper sofas. Please let me know if you have a post on that subject. Thank you! Mindy
How about a post on midcentury sleeper sofas? :-). I like to have a good option for guests.
We have had the CB2 Flex in the orange color for some time. As a bed it is great–large and pretty firm. Sometimes I like sleeping on it instead of our bed. As a sofa, however, it is VERY hard, and quite low to the ground, which I can tolerate with big pillows, because aim short, but my big & tall boyfriend finds very uncomfortable and it hurts his back. It's a love/hate, and if it were just me living here, I wouldn't be on this website, looking at sofas.
Here's a fantastic mid century modern sectional for $1698 by Apt 2B. Loads of color choices, too. Best price I've found yet! http://www.apt2b.com/products/the-logan-2pc-sectional-sofa-from-kyle-schuneman-choice-of-fabrics

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
Production of half dollars was healthy at New Orleans in 1841, with just over 400,000 pieces struck. This number is higher than Philadelphia's output in the same year, an indication of the thriving demand for coinage in the bustling Southern port city. The same high demand that led to the creation of so many halves, however, also caused the vast majority of them to disappear into circulation channels, and most of the survivors known today exhibit substantial wear. Only a handful of high-end Mint State pieces are available to 21st century collectors.
Like Charlotte and Dahlonega, the New Orleans Mint also experienced production difficulties early in its existence. Dies were used until they cracked dramatically, and various striking issues abound. Wiley and Bugert cite examples with iron fragments struck into their surfaces.

Wanting some holistic strategies to enhance your performance? Check out the "One Shot One Kill (OSOK) Performance Enhancement Program" that shows Warfighters how to set up and manage their own performance-enhancement system. OSOK is designed not only to enhance performance but also to jumpstart Warfighter resilience. It builds on the skills that Warfighters already possess and then teaches new ones as needed.
There are two ways you can use OSOK: as an individual through "OSOK Solo" and as a unit/group through "OSOK-IP Unit." Both highlight "10 Rules of Engagement" and provide seven core modules: Controlled Response, Mind Tactics, Performance-Based Nutrition, Primal Fitness, Purpose, Code, and Recharge. OSOK also provides self-assessment forms so you can track your progress over time.
For other performance-enhancement programs and information about holistic (total) fitness, check out HPRC's Total Force Fitness domain.
On January 14, 2014 the Marine Corps released MARADMIN 010/14, which details the new requirements for the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group. Marines who want to travel the globe and provide security services for U.S. embassies and consulates now have to meet new, revised standards. Among other things, Marines must be at least 64 inches tall so they can adequately view all areas from Post One (point of entry control at diplomatic posts). In addition, physical fitness standards have changed: Marines will have to achieve 1st Class PFT scores. If you haven't yet achieved this level of fitness, we have some tips. First and foremost, for optimal fitness, be sure to train smarter, not harder.
- Set S.M.A.R.T GOALS to keep track of your progress.
- Don't do too much too fast to prevent overtraining and prevent injury.
- Make good decisions about what you eat.
- Optimize your sleep and recovery to optimize performance.
Routines often help performance, and some of the world's best athletes have scripted routines that begin with what time they wake up. This type of rigid approach can be useful when the environment is predictable. Top performers find that routines can help shift them from the stressful anticipation of how things are going to turn out to a focus on what's most important in that moment; in other words, routines can provide an escape from anxiety. But overly rigid routines can morph a helpful tool into a superstitious or obsessive ritual. The best athletes regard flexibility and adaptation as crucial to their own, often finely honed, routines. With Warfighters, for whom crises are part of the job, the best teams are able to go "off-script" when needed in order to work together most effectively.
For more information on mental aspects of performance check out HPRC's Mind Tactics domain.
The phrase "Garbage in, garbage out" was coined first by computer experts back in the 1960s. Since then, the phrase has gained a wider usage—even to the world of performance nutrition. Providing your body with high-quality fuels and nutrients is crucial to optimizing your performance. Like the poorly fueled runner in HPRC's video, you're likely to find that a diet of high-fat or sugary foods and drinks ("garbage in") produces less than optimal results ("garbage out"). Instead, choose wholesome foods such as lean meats and fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products, which provide high-quality fuels and nutrients.
Whether you're falling asleep or too "amped up," you probably aren't performing your best. Depending on who you are and what the task is, some middle ground is generally going to be best.
With simple tasks that require little conscious thinking, your reaction time is probably at its best around 60-70% of maximum heart rate (see HPRC's article on aerobic conditioning), but response times for bigger bursts of movement improve if you're more amped up. For example, you may be able to pull the trigger of your weapon fastest when you're at 60-70%, but reaching for your weapon in the first place may be quickest if you're at 90%. Keep in mind that this may not apply to more complicated tasks that involve rapid thinking, such as distinguishing a "friendly" from a "non-friendly" when someone is disguised.
There are two basic ways to get yourself amped up: physical activity and anxiety. Physical activity can happen through an intentional warm-up or even on its own because of the demands you are facing. If anything, you might find yourself needing to calm your body down. The same goes for anxiety. There's the "butterflies-in-your-stomach" kind of anxiety and the more panicky "Darn! What do I do now?" kind. A little bit of the butterflies kind can be helpful, but again, it's good to learn how to calm down and find middle ground!
To learn more about being in the right "zone" for what you are doing, check out HPRC's "Performance Strategies: Optimize Your Body's Response."
You've heard of "Army Strong?" As part of the Ready and Resilient campaign, the Army is rolling out its new Performance Triad as a "pathway to a fit and healthy force." The triad consists of sleep, physical activity, and nutrition and provides online tools and information such as the Performance Triad Training Sessions (videos and websites packed with details to help you do everything from preventing injuries to choosing dietary supplements), cards with practical tips to become healthier and stronger, and a whole lot more. The Soldier's Guide is a good place to start; it includes numerous links to HPRC and other sources of information. Go ahead and start optimizing your health and performance today!

Injury prevention is critical in maintaining optimal performance and operational readiness. Ankle sprains, knee pain, and back pain are very common injuries in the military. Take the time now to protect yourself from injury, and you'll be glad you did later. Read our performance strategies to help fend off common military and athletic injuries, compiled from our recent injury prevention series of posts.
Chondromalacia is a knee problem that can have a number of different symptoms, including pain. It can your ability to exercise, but even more problematic is that it can interfere with your ability to meet the demands of your military duties.
Here's the basic rundown on chondromalacia: In a healthy state, the kneecap has soft cartilage beneath that allows the bone to glide smoothly against the other bones of your knee joint. When the smooth surface wears away, the back of the kneecap becomes rough and rubs the other bone surfaces, causing pain. The key to avoiding this condition is maintaining that smooth surface.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, muscle weakness, imbalance, or tightness in the thigh muscles can contribute to chondromalacia. It's important to maintain strength in your quadriceps and hamstring muscles; follow a strength-training program to develop and maintain strong muscles. Also, make sure that you have enough flexibility in your quads; if the muscles and tendons are too tight, they can force the kneecap to move or "track" incorrectly in the natural groove of your knee joint. If you do a lot of running, make sure your footwear isn't old and worn, because the shock-absorption of shoes decreases as they age. When it comes to knee pain, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Strengthen and stretch your muscles, and you'll be on your way to keeping your knees ready for action.
The state in which athletes perform at their best is often referred to as "the zone," but researchers refer to it as "flow." This experience of being completely immersed in an activity involves:
- Clear goals and immediate understanding of whether actions are helping or hurting progress towards goals.
- Intense and focused concentration on the present moment.
- Merging of action and awareness.
- Absence of self-consciousness and anxiety.
- Time seems distorted (slow in the moment and fast retrospectively).
- Targeting of your attention where it is most needed.
- Challenges or opportunities feel like a stretch but still match your skill level.
- Feeling in control and prepared to face whatever happens next.
You can experience flow in myriad ways, whether you're engaged in combat, playing competitive sports, or raising children. Flow can't be forced, but you can set the stage for it by learning good stress management and practicing key skills through repetition.
For more information you can use to help you get in the zone, check out HPRC's Stress Management and Mind-Body Skills sections.
That "slow to wake up" feeling of grogginess in the morning has a name: sleep inertia. HPRC asked a sleep expert whether sleep inertia is a real threat to performance, and the answer may surprise you: While sleep inertia is a real phenomenon, the threat it poses to performance has never been seriously studied but probably isn't as bad as you might think.
However, sleep inertia can be a serious issue when cognitive performance—such as problem solving and decision making—is called for immediately on waking. For example, physicians who are awakened by calls from nursing staff have been known to make serious errors. For most situations, though, it's better to sleep (and pay down any "sleep debt") rather than stay awake with the intent of being alert just in case you'll be called on, our expert concluded.
If your head does need to be in the game quickly after awakening, call on some caffeine to help; it can give you the boost you need to get out of your sleep inertia. Popping in some caffeine gum when you wake up (but only when essential) can produce near-normal cognitive performance within about five minutes.
For more information about sleep, check out HPRC's Sleep Optimization section. And to learn more about caffeine chewing gum, check out HPRC's article on caffeine chewing gum and performance.

I saw this microwave at a local dealer, and fell in love, but from the measurements, I thought it was too big if I used a tall stock pot on my range. After 2 years of looking, and finding nothing I liked as well, I took cardboard and added it to current microwave to match measurements of this one, added stock pot and realized that it would work. Every one who has used it in our home has been amazed at how well it works with large pans, like left-over lasagna. I never used defrost before, but love it on this unit. The tray is easy to remove for cleaning, and the stainless sides are very easy to clean. However, we do cover all of our food in the oven. We have had it well over a year and haven't found a single problem. I like that the vent has high, medium1, medium2 & low. I don't use most of the auto functions, but my husband does. I do use the soften/melt button for butter, and the potato buttons. Since I am always slow in making dinner, I frequently put food in the microwave oven to get the cooking started and then put that food in the range or in soup/stew on the stove. It really expedites the cooking process. The only thing that I don't like, but it is probably necessary is that the oven & timer continue to beep until you go over and hit the stop button. No matter how many times I yell at it, it won't listen so I have to manually shut it off.

SAO PAULO, Brazil — In 2007, just as this country was being revered for its strong economy and fight against poverty, officials here announced that Brazil had at last arrived on the world stage with its selection as host of soccer's biggest event, the 2014 World Cup.
Two years later, the president at the time, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, shed tears of joy as Rio de Janeiro was chosen as the site of the 2016 Olympics. God was Brazilian, went the popular refrain, and the news was certainly rosy: a bustling economy, tens of millions of poor people lifted into the middle class, inflation under control and unemployment falling.
