I am about to rollover my 401(k) to an IRA. I know my target asset allocation and it will all be in Vanguard ETFs, but the only question is how to get there. Since this is a sizable chunk to move at one time, I am looking for some advice.
I see three options:
1. Just invest it all immediately when it's available.
Concern: No chance to smooth over an rough spots. I could get lucky and buy on the low side, or unlucky and buy on the high side. On the other hand, since I can't time the market anyway, why not just get it over with?
2. Put in limit buy orders just slightly less than current market, figuring natural volatility will allow the buy to go through during the next dip.
Concern: My "slightly less" is below the dip, the buys never get executed and I miss the increase.
3. Break up the purchase into even amounts over the next several months/weeks and buy on a "dollar cost averaging" basis.
Concern: Slightly more expense in transaction fees (which possibly might be waved), closer monitoring, and loss if market increases (or gain if market decreases).
I recall (I think) in the Bogleheads guide many years ago that option #3 was slightly preferred, but not by much. I was wondering what the latest thought on this issue is.

Kesler 'itching big time' to return before playoffs
Apr 6, 2013, 4:23 PM EDT
This season certainly hasn't gone Ryan Kesler's way. He wasn't able to play in the Vancouver Canucks' first 12 contests after undergoing shoulder and wrist surgeries.
Now he's skating and trying to return from a broken bone in his foot that's sidelined him since Feb. 26.
"Obviously being out there you want to play tonight but that's not realistic," Kesler told the Vancouver Province. "I am itching, I am itching big time. It's been a tough year for me but everything happens for a reason.
"My goal is to get some games in before playoffs and feel good about my game heading into playoffs."
The Canucks haven't speculated on when he might return, although Sportsnet's Dan Murphy reported on Monday that Kesler "could be back in a week."
Kesler has played in just seven games this season and his absence created a hole for Vancouver up the middle. Canucks GM Mike Gillis recently addressed that issue by acquiring Derek Roy from the Dallas Stars.

It's time to say goodbye to Weeds. The Mary-Louise Parker series has been cancelled by Showtime. The upcoming eighth season, which premieres next month, will be the show's last.
The announcement doesn't come as much of a surprise. Weeds' future was looking uncertain before the show was renewed for season eight and many suspected that the upcoming 13 installments would be the TV series' last.
Showtime entertainment president David Nevins tells EW, "There were two shows, Weeds and Dexter, that really got Showtime taken seriously for cutting-edge original programming… How they get brought home is really important. In this case, both for the sake of the two women behind the show [series creator Jenji Kohan and Golden Globe-winning star Mary-Louise Parker] and an audience that's really invested in the show. TV fans love nothing better than to complain about how shows end and we really want to end this one the right way."
Kohan says that she's sad about the show coming to a close but appreciates the opportunity to wrap things up. She hasn't decided how to end the series just yet, saying, "We wrack our brains every year for crazy cliffhangers and we're trying to figure out how to top ourselves."
She noted, "I'm so proud of what we do here and that it's about a strong woman lead who's really flawed… We get to do comedy right up against drama, which a lot of shows don't get the opportunity to do."
The final season of Weeds premieres on Sunday, July 1st, at 10pm. The assassination attempt cliffhanger will quickly be resolved and there will be a time jump and a return to the suburbs. What happens after that remains to be seen.
What do you think? Will you be sad to see Weeds go or has the series already been on too long?

Image may not necessarily represent the actual item -Please read the title and description before purchasing.
Our Price: $2,356.00
Guns can only be shipped to a location within the USA that holds an FFL (Federal Firearms License) - this can be your local gun shop, pawn shop, sporting goods store, etc. Your local gun dealer will then handle the transfer of the firearm to you.
Please ensure that you have familiarized yourself with the process before placing a firearm order. Please note that you must confirm your acceptance of all of these policies to place a firearm order:
The Barrett model REC7 GEN II piston operated rifle system is a 6.8 SPC semi-auto rifle with a 16" Cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel, PWS Triad Muzzle Brake and a Geissele SSA Trigger.. Included is two 30-round magazines, soft case, one PWS accessory rail and PRI adjustable flip up sights.
Available Cerakote Finishes:
Flat Dark Earth / Tungsten Grey / OD Green / Black
Compact, accurate and completely trustworthy, the REC7 is designed specifically for situations in which there's no room for error. Styled in the familiar AR configuration, it's a serious rifle you can trust with anything-including your life.
This tough-as-nails rifle was designed specifically to answer the call for a low-maintenance, enhanced reliability carbine.
The REC7 rifle's dependability stems largely from its innovative operating system. Using a minimum number of parts, the piston system separates heat and powder residue from the bolt carrier and trigger assembly. The rifle runs cool and clean, reducing maintenance requirements and increasing endurance.
The patented chrome-lined fluted gas block prevents excessive carbon buildup from operation under adverse conditions. The one-piece 17-4 stainless piston transfers energy to the anti-tilt bolt carrier. Machined from a monolithic block of 8620 steel, the carrier features an integral piston strike face.
The Barrett Enhanced Bolt is made from high-strength 9310 steel. The bolt is designed specifically for use in the piston operated REC7, not just adapted from a direct gas bolt. The bolt's gas-ring-free design is easy to clean. Reinforced at critical areas, every bolt is proofed and magnetic-particle inspected to guarantee reliable performance.
At the heart of the operating system is a nitrided, two-position, forward-venting gas plug that retains the piston. The piston can be accessed through the front of the gas block without removing the handguard so optical sights or laser devices do not need to be zeroed after routine maintenance.
The REC7 rifle's forged 7075 aluminum upper and lower receivers are Type 3 hardcoat anodized. The lower houses an ultra-dependable single-stage trigger. The upper supports a free-floated, hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel with M4 feed ramps machined into the receiver and the barrel extension. A mil-spec A2 flash hider protects the muzzle.
In 5.56 NATO and 6.8 SPC, the REC7 is everything you'd expect from a Barrett rifle, and then some.
Key Features:
1. One-Piece 17-4 Stainless steel piston is easily accessed without removal of the handguard
2. Forged 7075 upper and lower receivers coated with Type 2, Class 3 hard anodized and Cerakote finished
3. Patented, chrome-lined fluted gas block with
M1913 rail reduces the need for maintenance
4. Two-position nitride-finished gas plug
5. Cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel
available in 9.25" (23.5 cm) and 16" (40.6 cm)
6. Enhanced Barrett bolt incorporates simplified
operation and reinforced durability
7. Nickel Teflon® coated anti-tilt full auto bolt carrier
machined from solid block of 8620 steel with
integrated piston strike face

Want to Know What It's like to Sleep on a Cloud? Try Our Dreamy Down-Top Feather Bed
Down-Top Feather Bed 2 2
Solved My Comfort Problem I was very uncomfortable when I slept. I could not find a way to be comfortable. I tried memory foam toppers. They did not work. I went to an air mattress. That did not work. I went to a combination of air mattress and memory foam; that did not work. I really could not afford to buy a new mattress, and I was concerned that even if I got one, whether or not it would be comfortable. During this time I had to go on a business trip and sleep in a hotel on an uncomfortable mattress, so it added to my concern that if I bought a mattress, it still wouldn't work. Then I saw the feather mattress here. I bought it. I am very happy. My discomfort is gone. I highly recommend the feather mattress to anyone who needs a comfortable sleep. November 6, 2012
absolutely wonderful, 5 stars The down top feather mattress is great. Didn't know what I was missing. October 15, 2012

Imagine that your spouse comes to you and says: "Let's go on a trip and have some fun." It sounds intriguing. You ask a few questions to get clarity.
YOU: "So Honey, why do you want to do that?"
HER: "Well, I'm bored. Life seems kind of static lately and I think we should change things up a bit."
YOU: "Where do you want to go?"
HER: "Heck, let's just head West."
YOU: "When do you want to got there?"
HER: "I think some time this year would be good."
YOU: "What are we going to do there?"
HER: "Let's just be spontaneous."
YOU: "How do you want to get there?"
HER: "Let's drive. We can take turns."
YOU: "Which vehicle should we take, the new, all-wheel-drive Subaru, the old 60's beater, the compact with good gas mileage, or the pick up?"
HER: "Let's just randomly pick one."
YOU: "Who should we invite to go with us?"
HER: "We'll drive by a few couple's homes on the way out of town and ask them if they want to come."
YOU: "So Honey, why do you want to do that?"
HER: "Well, I'm bored. Life seems kind of static lately and I think we should change things up a bit."
YOU: "Where do you want to go?"
HER: "Heck, let's just head West."
YOU: "When do you want to got there?"
HER: "I think some time this year would be good."
YOU: "What are we going to do there?"
HER: "Let's just be spontaneous."
YOU: "How do you want to get there?"

HER: "Let's just randomly pick one."
YOU: "Who should we invite to go with us?"
HER: "We'll drive by a few couple's homes on the way out of town and ask them if they want to come."
So for those of you who like to plan for the future, how do you think this trip is going to go? Perhaps a bit like the movie "The Hangover"?
Admittedly this spontaneous trip scenario is a bit far-fetched. Most of us need more clarity, organization and planning in our lives in order to visualize what we want, much less achieve successful results in whatever we are doing.
Yet the answer to these seven questions are not always clearly understood or communicated in most businesses and organizations. In my experience, less than 5% of small business owners and organization leaders have gone through a thoughtful process of answering, much less documenting, these seven questions. What I am told by countless business owners and leaders is: "Everyone knows where we are going and why it is important; I talk about it all the time."
But most of us can't read minds. If we ask everyone what the boss's plan is for the company, we get as many interpretations as the number of people we ask. It is like an orchestra conductor who announces to his musicians: "We are going to rehearse my favorite Mozart opera. Please come to rehearsal ready to contribute at your best level. " The seven questions would immediately start flowing from his musicians or nothing productive would occur.
Let us orient these seven questions in a manner that if thoughtfully answered will actually create a plan for a business or organization.
Why – Why are we taking this business trip together? Define your purpose or mission for starting and being in this business.
Where – Where do you want this business to go? Create your vision and intention with specific goals and targets.
When – When do you want to achieve your specific goals and targets?
What – What are we going to do? What are the customer's needs and what products and services are we intending to satisfy them with?
How – How are we going to accomplish customer satisfaction in a profitable manner?
Which – Which specific resources will be required?
Who – Who are the key individuals who want to participate and who are qualified to profoundly help along the way?
Before you begin to answer these questions, consider: who should be working with you to optimally answer the seven questions, and do you have a format in which to document and organize your answers? The format when filled in becomes your documented plan for achieving and sustaining your success.
Many times it is useful to get an outside coach who can impartially guide you through this process and may also be able to supply the right format for documentation, one that also tracks results. The format I recommend is "Path to Success" by The Mastermind Group, Inc.
The key to the right format is clarity, simplicity and ease of use. The right planning tool to guide your business needs to be used and updated once a month. It is like a GPS system that tracks where you are now in relation to where you want to go and that provides the best directions along the way. If you get off track or behind schedule, the new adjustments are updated into the planning format. This updated format keeps the plan "alive" and relevant. It is as close to real time as possible.
An undocumented plan is no plan at all. Could you build or remodel a house without blueprints? A contractor could not bid on your job or know what people are required to do each phase. Without good blueprints you can't be sure what materials are needed and what the sequence for construction will be.
The people in your organization are going to have difficulty helping you build your company without a documented "blueprint" for action. In order to be effective they need to know the "Path to Success" and where they personally fit into the plans. The team needs to know how everyone's specialty, knowledge and skills can best be applied. Moreover, if the key people were involved in helping build the plan in the first place, then their level of commitment and understanding should be close to that of the owner. Assuring daily engagement and performance is more likely if your people have a vested interest in the plan's execution.
Since an undocumented plan is no plan at all, the people may be thinking that the "plan" in the boss's head is just the boss's latest '&#*%' idea.

How to avoid denting your bamboo floor
October 25, 2011 in Bamboo Flooring, Maintenance Series
If you have kids, dogs, a kitchen, or an active lifestyle, then you may have experience with how well high activity melds with flooring surfaces… NOT VERY! However, don't despair; there's no need to wait patiently on those empty nest days to save your floor. With a few considerations, your floor can be well maintained for years to come.
If you're building new or remodeling, there are so many options to consider when bamboo floor shopping. Is bamboo flooring "green?" How hard is bamboo flooring? Is bamboo flooring sustainable? The most important question however may be: Which bamboo floor is right for me? Honestly answering this question could save you lots of time and extend the useful life of your flooring choice.
Situation 1: The neighborhood coffee shop
The neighborhood coffee shop is pretty popular. There are several regular and new customers coming in and out daily. Since it's a business, it's unlikely they'll leave their shoes at the door, so dirt and grit gets regularly tracked in. The best flooring choice in this higher traffic situation would be a strand bamboo floor, such as PlybooStrand or Havana or Neopolitan.
Adding a PlybooFit or PlybooQuiet underlayment pad system could help absorb some of the impact of dropped items as well as the tired feeling from standing on a hard surface all day. Instituting a regular cleaning schedule would be appropriate for this situation and will add life to the product and prevent additional scratching and indentation from hard debris left on the surface.
Situation 2: The Nuclear Family
Throw two hard-working adults, a kid or two and a dog and you've got one floor that had better deliver. This is a situation ripe for a darker tone strand bamboo floor with great durability.
In the kitchen, simply putting a mat down by the oven and by the sink would spare these "drop zones" from the constant pummeling of dropped kitchenware. Also, putting a mat near the entrance would lesson the likelihood of scratching from accumulated debris from outdoors.
For families with an upstairs, installing a padded underlayment, like PlybooFit or PlybooQuiet will lessen the noise of tender feet over head.
Situation 3: The Quiet Couple
If there is only one or two adults living in a residence, without children, pets, or a constant barrage of guests, then most flooring choices will would be ideal. Limiting the use of shoes indoors and a regular cleaning regiment will help things stay looking good and performing well.
Of course, using the same precautions as the nuclear family, plan for the worst, hope for the best, for both the kitchen and entryways, is the best plan for your well loved and hard-working friend-under-foot, your floor.

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – The Miami University softball team got back on the winning track with an important, 2-0, victory over Central Michigan on Sunday. The RedHawks improve to 11-7 in the Mid-American Conference and 18-27 overall. The Chippewas fall to 12-6 in the MAC and 26-17 overall.
Freshman pitcher Jenna Modic had perhaps the best outing of her young career on Sunday. She threw a complete-game shutout, allowing only two hits and five total base runners. Only one Chippewa runner was able to reach third base the entire game.
Miami would strike quickly with a run in the top of the first inning. Taylor Shuey led off with a single to left field. Tiyona Marshall reached on an error by the CMU pitcher. A sacrifice bunt from Hailey Reed moved each runner up a base. Modic followed with a sacrifice fly to left field that allowed Shuey to come home and score.
In the top of the third, Kristy Arbour reached on an error by the shortstop. After a pair of strikeouts, Reed doubled to bring Arbour home and give the RedHawks a 2-0 lead. That would be all they needed, as Modic shut down Central Michigan the rest of the way.
Modic and Reed each finished the game 1-for-2 with one RBI. Shuey was 1-for-4 with one run scored.
Miami returns to action on Tuesday when it travels to Wright State for a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m.

(1,925g) Genr8 Vitargo S2 Muscle Fuel & Recovery is the first and only Super Soluble form of the fastest recovery and re/fuel carbohydrate ever proven in university research studies. Where other products use maltodextrin, sugers - or even waxy or enzyme-modified starches-Vitargo S2's patented IVg technology delivers proven faster gut transit, glycemic and insulin responses, glycogen re/feuling, and performance. Vitargo S2 is 100% sugar-free. Genr8 Vitargo S2 Muscle Fuel & Recovery: Leaves the stomach quicker 103% faster than maltodextrin + sugars - in the first 10 minutes after ingestion. This leads to less stomach "distress" and faster absorbing muscle energy. Gets into muscle faster 68% faster glycogen re/fueling than maltodextrin + sugars after intense, exhaustive workouts. Boosts performance in your next workout Up to 23% greater maximal endurance (average of 10% greater) 2 hours after exhaustive, glycogen-depleting exercise, compared to maltodextrin + sugars. Turns off muscle protein breakdown 178% greater insulin than maltodextrin + sugars, within 10 minutes - the most potent, natural way to activate the anti-catabolic signals that spare muscle protein. Genr8 Specific Research This actual product is university provein in HUMANS. Proof Before Promises! The Anabolic Advantage Vitargo S2 is the super soluble form of Vitargo, a patented molecular carbohydrate. Compared to carbohydrates such as maltodextrin and sugars used in ordinary fuel and recovery drinks and powders, Vitargo's patented IVg technology is university-research proven to: Move through the stomach more than 2X faster than ordinary carbohydrates for rapid digestion and absorption. Increases insulin levels 168% higher than ordinary carbohydrates after exhaustive exercise. To fully understand the VitargoS2 revolutionary endurance performance advantage you must understand the science and see how VitargoS2 stands alone among related products as it is the only product of its kind to have university-research proven superiority. Carbohydrate is Skelaetal Muscle's Go-To Fuel During Intense Training ATP, creatine phosphate and glycogen power muscle contraction during intense weight training. High-intensity strength training demands extraordinary amounts of energy. Muscle contraction during weight training is powered by ATP, creatine phosphate, glycogen and circulating glucose. 1 Muscle fiber ATP and creatine phosphate levels are extremely limited and must be regenerated after each set to prepare for the next one. 1 Circulating glucose and glycogen stores provide the energy to Re-GENR8 ATP and creatine phosphate between sets demonstrating an absolute requirement for higher glycogen levels supported by a fast muscle fuel before or during intense training. Glycogen stores in muscle are limited and can be depleted during intense weight training meaning that superiorly loaded stores can lead to stronger sets and break-through workouts. Glycogen stores make up about 2 to 3% of skeletal muscle with higher concentration in Type II (fast twitch) fibers. Glycogen is without question muscle's "go to" fuel source during intense weight training (and strength competitions). 1 In fact, during multiple sets of weight training the decreases in strength and performance that occurs is directly tied to decreasing levels of glycogen in muscle. Simply put, sustaining high intensity contractions requires muscle glycogen – the critical energetic fuel. Glucose delivery in between intense training sets supports muscle recovery and refueling to prepare for a strong subsequent set. Rest periods between sets are short, typically lasting one to a few minutes depending on the training program. That means that muscle fibers must quickly Re-GENR8 spent power sources (ATP and creatine phosphate) and increase the availability of readily available glucose. Glucose uptake into muscle fibers is increased during training and a greater influx can lead to increased performance deeper into multiple set exercises. This can lead to break-through workouts and a greater training stimulus for anabolic processes. The bottom line is that your muscle absolutely requires the fastest readily-usable fuel (glucose) for optimal high-intensity weight training performance. Vitargo S2- The Fastest Muscle Fuel! Vitargo is a patented, molecular carbohydrate that is university-research proven to empty from the stomach more than 2X faster than carbohydrates in ordinary sports and recovery drinks and powders. Virtually all other sport fueling and recovery drink formulas use carbohydrates such as maltodextrin; and sugars like glucose (dextrose), fructose and sucrose. The problem with these carbohydrates is that they result in a beverage that has a high osmolality, which refers to how aggressively it will pull water. This sponge-like property slows the movement of those carbohydrates through the stomach, which in turn slow refueling efforts. On the other hand, Vitargo™S2 is patented molecular carbohydrate which has a relatively low osmolality and is university research-proven to empty from the stomach 2X faster within the first 10 minutes than ordinary carbohydrates.7 This break-through in accelerated performance refueling and recovery is due to the Vitargo's patented IVg technology. Other, less effective products, which may cost a little less, might make similar but unproven claims related to their carbohydrate source. It's Cheaper to be Small! VitargoS2 does not cause bloating and discomfort allowing you to train hard with full abdominal engagement and mental focus. Intense weight trainers and bodybuilders know about the bloating and discomfort that can result from ordinary fuel and recovery drinks and powders. In fact, one of the biggest complaints is that the bloating hinders exercises that compress the abdomen (e.g. squats, leg presses, etc). Other than that, the discomfort is distracting and can shift one's focus from crushing weight. That's because the carbohydrates typically used in sport and recovery products can act like sponges and draw a lot of water into the stomach. Once again, Vitargo™ is superior to carbohydrates found in ordinary sport drinks and powders because its patented molecular carbohydrate form reduces time in the stomach – less time to attract water into the stomach. The university research that has shown Vitargo – when consumed at rest – to exit out of the stomach twice as fast as ordinary carbohydrates, has been an underground secret exploited by many intense weight trainers and bodybuilders. Insulin Has A New Master - Vitargo S2 Muscle protein levels are the result of a balance between muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. Muscle is about 22% protein, most of what remains is water and some glycogen (2-3%) and lipid (1-2%). Muscle protein is constantly being broken down (catabolic) and manufactured (synthesis or anabolic) by distinct processes.1 The net (balance) the two sides of turnover determines if muscle gets bigger, smaller or stays the same. Muscle protein turnover largely reflects the synthesis and breakdown of contractile proteins (e.g. actin, myosin, tropomyosin, and troponin), connective tissue, metabolic support proteins (such as myoglobin and proteins in electron transport complexes), ion pumps (Ca2+, Na+/K+), transport proteins, and enzymes. Resistance training increases muscle protein breakdown and increases muscle protein synthesis. Although muscle protein breakdown doesn't seem to occur during intense weight training it does take place for several hours after completing the session. In fact, researchers in one study found that muscle protein breakdown was increased by 30% three hours after weight training. Furthermore, based on research involving 3-methylhistidine (3-MH), a modified amino acid found primarily in skeletal muscle contractile proteins (primarily actin), protein breakdown occurs in both contractile and non-contractile proteins. 1.78 times Higher Insulin Response in Ten Minutes. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas and released into circulation relative to how much and how rapidly carbohydrate (glucose) is absorbed from the digestive tract into the blood. Simply put, the faster and more significantly glucose can flood into circulation, the more forcefully insulin is released into the blood (leading to faster increase and higher peak). Insulin supports post-workout net muscle protein synthesis in two ways. First, insulin potently shuts down muscle protein breakdown. VitargoS2 (when consumed after exhaustive endurance exercise) produces 1.78 times greater insulin levels within 10 minutes—compared to ordinary carbohydrates – to turn off muscle protein breakdown and feed anabolic processes in muscle. Clearly insulin has a new master! Vitargo S2 Accelerates Glycogen Refueling to Hasten Recovery and Optimize Muscle Volumization 1.68 times Greater Glycogen Recovery in First 2 Hours. VitargoS2 refuels muscle more than 2X faster in as little as 10 minutes after exhaustive exercise compared to carbohydrates found in ordinary sport fuel and recovery drinks. 12 That means ample carbohydrate is almost immediately available to muscle to rebuild glycogen stores spent during intense weight training. In fact, VitargoS2 has been proven to accelerate the rate of muscle glycogen recovery following exhaustive endurance exercise by 168% more than carbohydrates such as sugars and maltodextrin. 13 This is important for two reasons. First, it leads to a higher repeat performance sooner, as discussed next, and the second reason is that it helps to swell or "volumize" muscle cells. Glycogen is made up of branching polymers of glucose and each gram of glycogen draws 3 grams of water. 1 Osmoreceptors in muscle cells register cell hydration and volume and can increase muscle fiber protein production to support other anabolic processes. Thus recovery of glycogen stores more quickly means greater volumization of muscle fibers. VitargoS2 increases performance by as much as 23% greater in as little as 2 hours after exhaustive exercise providing an advantage for multiple trainings in a single day or training the next day. Faster recovery of glycogen results in enhance performance more quickly. How much better and how much quicker? A university study found that when individuals used Vitargo™S2 – after glycogen-depleting exercise – they were able to exercise again up to 23% better after just 2 hours of recovery than when using an equal amount of carbohydrates as those found in ordinary sport recovery drinks and powders. 8 Rapid refueling of glycogen stores is crucial for intense weight trainers that train twice in one day or whose training will involve the same body part the next day. This break-though in glycogen recovery is due to the patented IVg technology of VitargoS2. Furthermore, the fructose found in many ordinary sport refueling and recovery products either as fructose, half of sucrose or half or more of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is absorbed much slower than other carbohydrates and has been shown in university research to be an inferior refueling and glycogen recovery carbohydrate. 14 For serious athletes fructose as a performance carbohydrate source simply doesn't cut it! The Endurance Edge VitargoS2 is the super soluble form of Vitargo, a patented molecular carbohydrate. Compared to carbohydrates such as maltodextrin and sugars used in ordinary fuel and recovery drinks and powders, Vitargo's patented IVg technology is university-research proven to: Move through the stomach more than 2X faster, deliver fuel to muscle and the rest of the body more than 2X as fast within 10 minutes after exhaustive exercise leading to accelerate glycogen recovery by 168% and a return to higher performance up to 23% greater. The bottom line is that VitargoS2 is only refueling and recovery product that is university-research proven to be the strategic solution for serious athletes to maximize performance. To fully understand the VitargoS2 revolutionary endurance performance advantage you must understand the science and see how VitargoS2 stands alone among related products as it is the only product of its kind to have university-research proven superiority. Carbohydrate: Muscle's Go-To Fuel During High Intensity Training or Competition Carbohydrate is the critical fuel for muscle and the brain during higher intensity training and competition. Carbohydrate is derived from carbohydrate stores (glycogen) in muscle and the liver as well as from carbohydrate consumed during performance. Glycogen is a carbohydrate polymer, made up of branching chains of glucose and is muscle's predominant fuel during higher intensity training and competition. 2,3 Meanwhile, liver glycogen along with consumed carbohydrate is crucial for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels during intense training or competition to help fuel muscle and to maintain mental focus and optimal neuromuscular performance. Glycogen stores in muscle (and the liver) are limited and once they as depleted athletic performance decreases. During intense training and competition, glycogen stores are progressively reduced mostly due to increased epinephrine (adrenalin) in the blood.1 Once muscle glycogen is depleted, fatigue and decreased performance follow closely. This can happen in just a couple hours for runners, cyclists or triathletes, especially if they push too hard, and don't refuel strategically during the effort. 1,5 For intermittent-sprint athletes such as soccer, football and hockey players muscle glycogen stores can be exhausted earlier, however they certainly have more opportunity to refuel during breaks, halftime, etc. 1 Having more glycogen at the onset of training or competition can allow you to perform at a higher level for longer. Despite its critical role in high intensity performance, muscle has a limited storage of glycogen, usually around 2 to 3% for endurance athletes. 1,5 That means that the more glycogen you have at the onset of a training session or competition, the harder and longer you can perform. 1 For instance, incomplete recovery of muscle glycogen (<2%) led cyclists to fatigue more than 30 minutes earlier than cyclists with pre-exercise muscle glycogen stores in excess of 3%. 5 Applied to athletes that train or compete daily (or sooner), incomplete glycogen recovery from a previous training will hinder performance in the next. Rapid muscle glycogen recovery is critical to perform again at a higher level the next day or within the same day. Once depleted, glycogen stores will need to be refueled in order to train or compete at an optimal level again. The problem is that it can take a full day or more to fully recover these precious fuel reserves. Timing is critical and the sooner you can begin refueling of glycogen and to do so at an accelerated rate, the quicker the recovery will be and a return to a higher level of performance. 6 This is critical for athletes that train or compete daily and especially those that train or compete more than once during a single day (e.g. multi-sport athletes, tournaments). This can also provide a performance advantage for athletes who have breaks in training or competition such as half-times, between periods, or bench-time, etc. Vitargo S2 The Fastest Muscle Fuel 2.3 times Faster Energy Delivery to Intestines. This leads to more efficient digestion and absorption as well as delivery to muscle after exhaustive exercise. Virtually all other sport refueling and recovery drink formulas use carbohydrates such as maltodextrin; and sugars like glucose (dextrose), fructose and sucrose. The problem with these carbohydrates is that they result in a beverage that has a high osmolality, which refers to how aggressively it will pull water. This sponge-like property slows the movement of those carbohydrates through the stomach, which in turn slow refueling efforts. On the other hand, VitargoS2 is patented molecular carbohydrate which has a relatively low osmolality and is university research-proven to empty from the stomach 2X faster within the first 10 minutes than ordinary carbohydrates.7 This break-through in accelerated performance refueling and recovery is due to the Vitargo's patented IVg technology.Other, less effective products, which may cost a little less, might make similar but unproven claims related to their carbohydrate source. What they should really be claiming is that It's Cheaper to Lose! VitargoS2 refuels muscle more than 2X faster in as little as 10 minutes after exhaustive exercise vs. other carbohydrates. The problem with carbohydrates found in ordinary sport fuel and recovery drinks and powders is that they can stay in the stomach longer and are absorbed more slowly than Vitargo. This means that muscle must wait for critical refueling carbohydrate. One university study comparing Vitargo to the carbohydrates in ordinary sport fuel and recovery products found that Vitargo, when given immediately after glycogen depleting exercise, increased blood glucose levels at a two times faster rate and within minutes.8 Furthermore, despite delivering fuel twice as fast, Vitargo did not lead to a blood sugar crash.8 Let's face it, every minute counts when it comes to glycogen refueling and recovery after intense training or competition. Therefore, it simply doesn't make sense to make muscle wait longer than it has to for carbohydrate to refuel! VitargoS2 does not cause bloating or a "heavy stomach" like other sport fuel and recovery products formulated with maltodextrin and simple carbohydrates. University research conducted in subjects at rest showed that Vitargo was able to transit out of the stomach twice as fast as ordinary carbohydrates. This may explain why many of our elite and pro athlete users notice no bloating or "heavy stomach" feeling when they use Vitargo S2 before or during training or competition. Vitargo S2 Accelerates Glycogen Refueling and Leads to Higher Endurance Performance Sooner. 1.68 times Greater Glycogen Recovery in First 2 Hours. Researchers have found that there is a one to two hour "window" of opportunity after training or competition when glycogen recovery is most rapid. Vitargo basically bypasses the window and "blows the roof off" of the process by recovering glycogen stores 168% faster than carbohydrates found in ordinary sport recovery drinks. 9 This break-though in glycogen recovery is due to the patented IVg technology of VitargoS2. Furthermore, the fructose found in many ordinary sport refueling and recovery products either as fructose, half of sucrose or half or more of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is absorbed much slower thand other carbohydrates and has been shown in university research to be an inferior refueling and glycogen recovery carbohydrate.4 For serious athletes this carbohydrate source simply doesn't cut it! Up to 1.23 times great Max Endurance Performance. Faster recovery results in better performance more quickly. How much better and how much quicker? A university study found that when individuals used VitargoS2 – after glycogen-depleting exercise – they were able to perform up to 23% better after just 2 hours of recovery than when using an equal amount of carbohydrates as those found in ordinary sport recovery drinks and powders. 8 Superior recovery means that you can be sure that your glycogen stores will be more refueled when you head out to train or compete again the next or even the same day. Frequently Asked Questions What is Vitargo S2? Vitargo is a patented molecular carbohydrate derived from a special barley starch. S2 means Super Soluble—much easier to mix. VitargoS2 is unique because it is specially processed to yield a molecular profile that is massively different from the carbs that make up sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, sucrose) and maltodextrin found in ordinary sport, energy, and recovery drinks. Most importantly, Vitargo is proven to work in athletes—in university studies. Part of the secret of Vitargo's IVg technology is the molecular size of Vitargo. Scientists use molecular weight (how heavy the molecule is) to determine the size of molecules. As shown in the table, Vitargo is hundreds and thousands of times larger than maltodextrin and sucrose (dextrose). Carbohydrate Molecular Weight Vitargo 500,000 to 700,000 Maltodextrin 1,000 to 10,000 Starch syrup 250 to 1,000 Sucrose (Dextrose) 180 But molecular size alone does not make Vitargo the Fastest Muscle Fuel. Vitargo is made through a special fractionation process that makes it rapidly digestible and therefore capable of delivering glucose to the blood, liver, and muscle at least twice as fast as other ordinary carbs. Other so-called "high molecular weight" carbs are "weightless" when it comes to proof—they have zero university studies showing superior fuel delivery or performance in humans. Is Vitargo the same thing as "waxy maize" or high molecular weight starches? Vitargo can be made from most plant starches—what makes Vitargo patented and the Fastest Muscle Fuel is not the source or the molecular size but the unique, patented molecular "handprint", proven in university studies in athletes—not lab rats or test tubes—to greatly outperform other ordinary carbs, from your gut to getting more performance within 2 hours after exhaustive exercise. In fact, the first two studies done on Vitargo used potato starch as the starting source. For several years through 2005, Vitargo was made from a special strain of corn that is higher in starch—waxy maize. This is where other companies have gotten the idea of using different "waxy maize" starches. However, none of these other, non-Vitargo starches have any human studies showing a Vitargo effect. Furthermore, some of these unproven carbohydrate source might even cost less, however some of them, based upon laboratory analysis, are likely to be indigestible, delivering little or no glucose to the blood, liver, and muscles. If you want Vitargo results…get VitargoS2. It's cheaper to lose. How does Vitargo work? Vitargo is a molecule that dwarfs sugars (e.g glucose, fructose and sucrose) as well as maltodextrin, the carbs found in ordinary energy and recovery drinks. Vitargo's larger size minimizes its osmolality, which refers to how much water it draws around it. Vitargo's low osmolality allows it to move through the stomach over 2X faster than other carbohydrates, which tend to act more like a sponge in the stomach. Spending less time in the stomach allows Vitargo to be delivered to the part of the intestinal tract—the duodenum—where it is rapidly digested and absorbed. This provides a near immediate surge in energy to blood and muscle, superior to other ordinary carbohydrates. After training or competition is over Vitargo recovers glycogen 168% faster, allowing for an increase in performance up to 23% greater after just two hours when compared to carbohydrates found in ordinary sport and recovery drinks. Will Vitargo make me feel bloated? Carbohydrate-based energy and recovery beverages can make you feel bloated. That's because the type of carbohydrate used in ordinary formulas act like sponges drawing water into the stomach, which can causing uncomfortable bloating, distension, and cramping. Vitargo is a patented molecular carbohydrate form proven to empty from the stomach faster and be absorbed into the body more quickly. In fact, university researchers found that Vitargo emptied from the stomach more than 2X faster than a comparable beverage with sugars and maltodextrin, the types of carbohydrates used in many popular sports/energy and recovery drinks and powders. This may explain why many of our elite and pro athlete users notice no bloating or "heavy stomach" feeling when they use Vitargo S2 before or during training or competition. Why doesn't VitargoS2 contain vitamins and other nutrients? VitargoS2 doesn't contain vitamins and other nutrients for two reasons. First, the addition of vitamins and other nutrients can impact the ability of VitargoS2 to get fuel to muscle and the rest of the body quicker than other carbohydrate sources. This is the critical factor here. Secondly, in order for vitamins, most minerals and other nutrients to be absorbed and processed internally optimally they be should consumed with real food. Can't I just eat pasta, bread or other carbohydrate foods to get the same results? Without question these foods will help refuel muscle and liver glycogen stores. However the question really should be will they refuel and recover glycogen stores as fast as VitargoS2 and without the bloating and "heavy stomach" feeling? If you are training or competing the next day or sooner you need to choose the carbohydrate source that is research proven to accelerate refueling and recovery after exhaustive exercise. Remember, unless a food or supplement is studied in its actual form you can't be sure it will work the way you want (or the product claims). What does the "S2" mean? Vitargo is made from barley and is considered a starch, amylopectin to be exact. In general, starches don't mix very well in water. VitargoS2 is a Super Soluble form that mixes more easily in water than other starches, and even previous forms of Vitargo. Is Vitargo S2 Sugar Free? Unlike most other sport drinks and recovery supplements Vitargo is 100% sugar free! That means that you can enjoy Vitargo before, during or after training or anytime and not be concerned about taking in any sugars. Is Vitargo S2 vegetarian? Yes. Vitargo is made from barley starch and will fit in any vegetarian nutrition plan. What is used to sweeten flavored Vitargo S2 versions? The two flavored versions of Vitargo S2, Tropical Fruit and Juicy Orange, use sucralose as a sweetener. Sucralose is a calorie- and sugar-free artifical sweetener. VitargoS2 also is available in an unflavored and unsweetened form. This contains just Vitargo in its 100% pure form. Can I use Vitargo to Carb-Load prior to Competition? Absolutely—we encourage you to! In fact, using VitargoS2 during carbo-loading is common among elite athletes and Olympic competitors. You can use Vitargo in shakes and smoothies as a sugar-free carbohydrate source. Each scoop provides 35 grams of glycogen-building carbohydrate (or 70 grams/serving). Many athletes use VitargoS2 between meals to ensure they meet their carbohydrate goals during loading and after exhaustive training so that they can eat normally during regular meals. Is Vitargo safe? Vitargo is a safe, natural carbohydrate derived from barley and has been used by athletes world-wide for years. About Genr8 GENr8, Inc. was formed in 2007, as a subsidiary of a UK company that was spun out from the muscle metabolism laboratory of Professor Paul Greenhaff at the University of Nottingham. The University of Nottingham was ranked among the top 100 international universities by Newsweek magazine in 2006. Dr. Greenhaff's laboratory has spawned new, groundbreaking research in the area of muscle fuel selection, recovery, and performance. This was matched with the expertise and reputation of Paul Winsper, BSc, who for ten years was the head strength and conditioning coach of Newcastle United, soccer team in the English Premier League—the world's most watched sporting body. Coach Winsper used GENr8 products with his players while at Newcastle United, and through the World Cup. After leaving Newcastle United Coach Winsper took GENr8 products into other elite competitive, intensive training sports, including bodybuilding, mountain and road bicycle racing, mountain climbing, swimming, and triathlons. As seen in world class soccer, the performance advantage with GENr8 was dramatic. After three years of applied research and development work in the UK, Anthony L. Almada, MSc was asked if he would consider leading the GENr8 brand in North America and outside of Europe. Anthony came to know Professor Greenhaff through his role as president of EAS, a performance nutrition company he co-founded in 1993 (Anthony asked Prof. Greenhaff to join the EAS Scientific Advisory Board and co-developed a $500,000, multi-year research program at the University). When presented with the science and pipeline of research and innovation, and the multinational exclusive license to Vitargo—the patented carbohydrate—he saw enormous potential and the opportunity to alter the world of both physique/strength sports and endurance sports. With this he began assembling a "dream team" of sports nutrition/nutrition industry experts, gathered through his 33 years in the nutrition industry. Over the course of 2007 the GENr8 team developed the brand and Vitargo S2 formulations, and put the product into the hands of elite and professional athletes from a wide array of sports: auto racing, bodybuilding, motocross, surfing, swimming, track, triathlons, and ultraendurance racing. The result is the Fastest Muscle Fueltheir that, for most people, produces a noticeable to dramatic difference the first time it is used. In 2008 they will be unveiling Ready To Drink (RTD) forms of Vitargo S2, MyoSwitch, the first and only product proven to increase muscle carnitine, switching muscle fuel metabolism, and a suite of other innovations that earn the status of Proof Before Promisestheir. Genr8 Mission GENR8 has a single aim: create, develop, validate, and market performance nutrition products that inspire and sustain confidence. For GENr8, confidence is defined by products that are university proven to work better than the "gold standard" and by products that are truly safe for both aspiring junior athletes and professional/Olympic athletes who are scrutinized for the use of banned substances. They have an unrivaled commitment to unique performance nutrition supplement development, demanding substantial research on their actual products (not just ingredients), conducted at world-class universities, BEFORE they are offered for sale. They subject each batch of EACH product to analytical testing by the only World Anti-Doping Association-accredited laboratory in North America. This is the foundation of GENR8's Proof Before Promises.
