Fixed income markets delivered positive returns during the fourth quarter of 2014. Long-term Treasury bonds performed best, as long-term interest rates and inflation expectations tumbled with oil prices. U.S. government bond yields looked appealing versus yields of their eurozone and Japanese counterparts. Investment-grade corporate, mortgage-backed, and municipal securities also produced solid gains, but asset-backed securities trailed. High yield bonds fell as credit spreads, the yield difference between high- and low-quality bonds with comparable maturities, widened, which indicated growing concerns about borrowers' ability to service their debt.
The U.S. Bond Enhanced Index Fund returned 1.70% in the quarter compared with 1.79% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 1.23% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Average. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2014, the fund returned 6.12% versus 5.97% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 5.33% for the Lipper Core Bond Funds Average. The fund's average annual total returns were 6.12%, 4.36%, and 4.66% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The fund's expense ratio was 0.30% as of its fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.
Benchmark Definitions
The portfolio is designed for investors who want to benefit from broad exposure to investment-grade bonds. Its objective is to closely track the performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index after fees, but we attempt to compensate for portfolio expenses by seeking modest additional returns through small variations in sector weightings. To a lesser extent, typically, we also employ what is referred to as duration management, adjustments in the mix of maturities of holdings based on our view of interest rates. During the past three months, the portfolio was overweight in mortgage-backed securities, which added value to performance. In addition, while the energy sector was generally hurt by lower oil prices, exploration and production companies were some of the portfolio's top contributors in the corporate sector. Exposure to lower-grade bonds trimmed results.
The Federal Reserve kept short-term interest rates low but ended its monthly asset purchases in October. In mid-December, the central bank indicated its intention to be "patient" with regard to raising short-term interest rates. We expect rate hikes to commence in mid- or late-2015. Regulators have expressed fears that rising rates and falling bond prices in the coming months could trigger outflows from bond funds, putting a strain on the market. Stricter regulations stemming from the 2008 financial crisis have altered the landscape for fixed income funds, resulting in a change of strategy in some cases. On the positive side of the equation, declining liquidity creates opportunities for fixed income investors. Less liquid bonds become attractive when issuers are fundamentally sound and investors are adequately compensated with attractive yields.

This is a gorgeous powder to pull out, that's its main thing. It's a chic, small/slim compact, very well crafted and refillable. I had high expectations of this and it doesn't do much, it's just a traslucent powder. It mattifies a little but I don't find myself reaching out for this that often because it's no substitute for MAC Blot and certainly no substitute for foundation, it has not coverage.
Of course you are paying for the compact (I paid 87 pounds in total) but then, we shell out 50 or 60 bucks for those LE Dior compacts that are made of plastic.
So if you'd like a pressed translucent powder I'd say go for it; but if you need something like MAC Blot, this really isn't going to do the job.

I have always wondered why this item was always $$$ holding it in my hands I now know why the compact has a nice solid weight to it, and is very well made, as for the product..i already love it, i use Meteorites at home as the final touch to my make up for my workday or just for a bit of a "glow" during my weekends
Now I have the compact perfect for touch up when i go home from work or out on a date

I feel this product is far too expensive... yet I had to have it. The packaging is indeed lovely, and I got the refill at a steal for $28. I love toting this thing around 'cos it makes me feel like some top-notch glamour queen. I hadn't treated myself to any high-end stuff in a while and was feeling like crap when I bought it. I love Guerlain so I figured I had to have this... but still, a part of me is wondering why I spent so much on this. If anything, Guerlain is laughing all the way to the bank, giggling at all the nitwits who spent the dosh on this compact.
It's definitely more matte in formula than the traditional Meteorites. It has the tendency, however, to look ashy if over-applied or if applied on dark skin. The major pain is having to carry an extra brush or puff to apply this stuff. I'd recommend staying away from the Meteorites brush-- what a scratchy piece of crap!
I dunno, I'm on the fence about this one. I reserve it for special occasions and use Physician's Formula Multi-Coloured Highlighter compact for every day use (it looks exactly the same). If you don't want to shell out the dosh for this, buy the cheap d/s one. The only difference, really, is the look of the compacts (and the PF formula comes with a nice, soft little brush).

NW 20. I would give this product five lippies i it wasn't for the outrageous price of this. Do I think it is ok to splurge on a product to treat yourself? To pay an insanely high price or a product that gives you a feeling of luxury? Absolutely. Do I think this product lives up to the expectations? Not really. Yes, the powder is nice. I love how it evens out the color in my sometimes ruddy skin. it is not really mattifying but it does set fdnt and gives you a nice and healtyh look. Since this is the matte version of the Mythics meteorites, you don't really get that "glow" everybody associates with Guerlain Meteorites. It is by FAR not as finely milled as many DRUGSTORE powders I know. Come on, Guerlain, you can do better. I take one lippy off for that. I take off another lippy for how TACKY the packaging looks. I know I know, it is supposed to be gold coated etc... but if you showed it to someone who doesn't know that... I doubt they'd be wowed by how it looks. Considering that compact costs about $100 (since the whole thing costs $150 and a powder refill around $50), I can't say the price is justified (I am glad I got mine for $60 on sale) at ALL. Also, I think the violet scent might be a problem with people who react to fragranced products. Personally I LOVE the sceent thought. So all in all... I am not wowed. It IS nice but not THAT nice. I wouldn't even rebuy it if I saw it on sale somewhere.

I really like this product and I want to say that I would buy it again but it's just too expensive. I like the effect that it gives (kind of like a soft focus glow to the skin) and the scent is pleasing but not overpowering. I have a friend who has said that Physician's Formula makes a comparable product which I have yet to try but I find it hard to believe that a brand you could find at a drugstore would impart the same effect that Guerlain Meteorites Voyage does (but if it could, then great!) Meteorites does lend quite a lovely radiance to the skin so if you have some money to burn, go for this splurge.

For a face powder this is seriously expensive. I was very lucky though because I managed to get my hands on a refill on a MINI meteorites voyage. I never even knew that mini ones existed for the pressed powder! For a normal sized refill it costs £40, with the compact £98, but the mini one only cost me £26 which I was prepared to pay. I went in to look at the ball versions but they didn't have the colour i wanted and luckily they had this instead which is slightly more travel friendly.
I would dearly like to get my hands on a compact to go with it but I don't think that forking out such a lot for a compact is a good thing. Maybe I will someday who knows...they are achingly beautiful after all and would last you for a lifetime instead of throwing compacts away constantly.
I got the powder in mythic, i love the colours very much and my mum gave me a gold antique compact that she's had for years to put the powder in which was a score.
The powder itself smells just like Parma Violets which happens to be one of my favourite childhood candies so it is actually really nice for me although others have said they hate it.
On application this powder does give you that soft focus look everyone has been talking about and it does give you a glow as well but to be honest nothing over the top special. This has very fine shimmer in it as well which is nice and doesn't leave you looking overly sparkly.
I'd say overall this powder is gorgeous, it's got a very unique charm to it and along with the fragrance, colours and design it makes applying your powder a bit more special on dull grey mornings. I would have paid £26 for a bog standard flesh coloured powder in any case so to pay that for this uber cool stuff is something i'm more than happy to do.

I love the Guerlain meteorites, but they do not travel well. So instead I bought the refill compact (not the case) and bought a case at shiseido for $10 (the luminizing powder case which comes with a great little brush). The powder fits easily into the case, just slap a little rubber cement on the bottom of the compact to secure, and you're good to go!

This beautiful compact comes with solid powder in mytic. This is great for all skin types and tones. Some asians want lighter skin and I'm totally one of those. Although my skin is pretty light to begin with, I found this powder gave my skin a nice clean look without the yellow undertone. The powder comes in a combination of green, gold, white, pink, pearl and mavue. The green tones down any redness, the white lightens the skin, the pink gives skin a healthy glow, the gold and pearl creates highlights and brightens the skin. This is a very expensive compact, but it's a great addition to any collection.

I love this product! The secret is in the color spheres: Mauve attracts light, green tones down redness, pink imparts a healthy glow, gold and pearl create highlights, and white brightens. I apply it over my foundation. As someone who always seems to having trouble picking the right color match for my skin, this product relieves me of that decision and does what it says it will: brighten and provide the skin with a veil of perfection. I like this much better than BE Mineral Veil which seems to make me look pasty white no matter how little or which color I use and that defeats the purpose of a finishing powder. The packaging is beautiful and the compact is sturdy and will last forever. Refills are available so you only need to pay the big bucks for the compact once though these refills are getting harder and harder to find. That said, however, this lasts forever. I will definitely repurchase when and if mine ever runs out even though it is so expensive.

time for some fall crops?
As you guys know, I'm a newbie.
Do any of you plant anything in the late summer early fall?
I was going to go ahead and put in carrots, beets, kale, maybe bok choi and loma "summer lettuce." The first two, sure. But I'm afraid the minute I plant the others the temps will soar into the upper nineties that they usually are in August.
Any experiencel, comments, suggestions, plans, etc. on fall planting?
There are a number of posts about this subject in this forum that you can pull up with the search function at the bottom of the page.
Also, I'm attaching a link to UT Extension Service's publication on growing vegetables in home gardens. It has planting guides for fall vegetables as well as guides for other seasons. I bet it will answer most, if not all, of your questions. There are many other publications available at the UT Extension Service's publication site ( http://www.utextension.utk.edu/publications/homeGarden/default.asp ).

The tactic of tent(s) building direct actions continues with international,s but with Israelis only as media and support. The harsh escalation of suppression is expressed more in house demolitions than in direct action clashes, but even in the Friday demos we experienced an escalation of harassment by the state forces. Both in the Israeli media and the public arena the mounting international pressure and the stubborn refusal of the ruling elite to yield is bringing the aura of imminent disaster. The cracks within the ruling elite are expanding and threatening efforts to invest an increasing part of the national product in the settler colonialist project while recruiting the support of the organized orthodox Jewish parties by increasing benefits to their communities.

Though the imperial powers tolerance for the Israeli repression and transfer diminish, Israel mainly respond with uneasy disregard. The world as large and even us within are waiting to see if there really was a shift in the blanc of power within the Israeli ruling elite and if the political turbulence in the region will contribute to any improvement in the Palestine-Israeli struggle. It is not clear if the intensification of Israeli transfer and repression efforts are just the last spasm of a dead end or a more desperate line of disregard of reality. In a month or two the picture may clear and till then, the old Tsumud (persistence) will continue. The intensification of the activities of the higher comity of grass root popular comities - mainly in the weekly "tent villages projects" started in Bab Al-Shams may be more than just an expression of optimism.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle intensify on the back ground of the intensifying of harassments
mashriq / arabia / iraq / community struggles / news report Tuesday January 29, 2013 - 22:31 byIlan S.
It was not just the coming Israeli elections that Israeli settler colonialism intensified. It is part of the trend of last years in which the efforts to expand the settler colonialist project increase - as if to exploit the last opportunity. It is done within the 1948 borders - mainly with transfer of the Bedouins of the south. It is done within the occupied east Jerusalem. It occur in the C areas mainly near colonialist settlements and more so in areas intended to be annexed to Israel. In response, the third Intifada collect momentum and the anarchists against the wall are invited more and more to locations of joint struggles. The general election revealed that a substantial section of the capitalist elite start to distance itself from the costly settler colonialist project... But, it seems more international pressure is needed for a significant change. [Italiano] ... read full story / add a comment

Saturday in Dublin saw another desperate attempt by the anti-choice coalition to prevent legislation coming to the Dail (Irish parliament) to allow abortion where a women's life is under threat. Despite months of preparation, a spend that must have ran close to a million euro, and the parish priest at every mass in the country telling catholics they should attend, less that 15,000 turned up. Compared to the 150,000 women who have had to travel to obtain abortions in the last ecades this amounts to almost nothing, a handful of bigots bussed in from all over the country.

Palestine-Israel, The third Intifada collect momentum with clear contribution of the joint struggle*
mashriq / arabia / iraq / community struggles / news report Monday January 21, 2013 - 19:39 byIlan S.
A lot of the Israeli activists in the joint struggle with Palestinian popular initiative were skeptical about the contribution of the Anarchist Against the Wall initiative. They fail to see its contribution to recruiting and encouraging the less radical Israelis into initiating and/or participating in joint actions with Palestinians. They fail to see the contribution and legitimization of the struggle in the world arena; they fail to see the contribution for publicity - both within Israeli mainstream media and the world (Fife Brocken Cameras nominee for Oscar), and most of all the creation of a security net that prevents Israel from suppressing the popular struggle in a bloodbath and the mass arrest of Palestinian activists. The later peaks of Bab al-Shams (the Gate of the Sun) camp in Jerusalem and Al-Karamah (Dignity) at Beit Iksa no-one can ignore. [Italiano] ... read full story / add a comment

Bab Al Shams (the gate of the Sun) is a one step higher of the non-armed direct actions the joint comity of the villages popular comities involved in. The political parties that marginally support the struggle failed to co-opt it so far. The creativity of the joint comity rouse to an higher level in this action, forcing the Israeli state to disregard its pretension of law and order, and acted against its own higher court and destroyed the camp. The world media was "recruited" again to promote the non violent struggle against the occupation. In each village where weekly demos are done, few of the activist were left behind to keep the joint struggle going. [Italiano] ... read full story / add a comment

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle* on the last track of 131 years of settler colonialist Zionism.
mashriq / arabia / iraq / community struggles / news report Wednesday January 09, 2013 - 16:01 byIlan S.
Interwoven with the Western imperial interests in the region, the nationalist-socialists Zionists initiated the immigration of nationalist Jews to Palestine. It interwove with the Ottoman-German-British-US dynamics and gradually collected momentum. As one of the last islands remaining from the colonial era (mainly because it involved the big settlers community and served strategic interests), its time is running out.... and faster since the "Arab Spring". Sensing the end, the die-hard leadership of the Zionist settler colonialists - in a last desperate effort - continue as if the end were not in sight and even increase their onslaught with diminishing restraint. To the background of this month's election, the onslaught is collecting momentum over recent weeks - as if the third Intifada were what the Israeli elite wanted. The popular struggle collects momentum and more so at the weekends. [Italiano] ... read full story / add a comment

The merger between the Zionist leadership and the capitalist elite which started 1948 picked in the Tycoons dominance, at 20010. The "too successful" neo-liberalism was challenged by the social struggle, conflicts within the capitalist elite and threatened by international pressure yielded the diminishing power of the old order when the right lost its absolute power in the parliament depending now on the opponent of the milder Zionist right (Kachlon). It is not sure how fast the retreat in the neo-liberal trend and the defeat of the Tycoons combined with the international pressure will yield also retreat in the advance of the Zionist settler and transfer effort. Mean time the joint struggle continue in Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Nebi Saleh, Kadum, Ma'asarah, Southern Hebron Hills, Sheikh Jarrah, the Bedouins of the south, Dahamsh... with additional locations from time to time.

The minimal pressure of the imperial power on Israel to soften its pressures applied to the would be transfered Palestinians of the 1967 occupied areas have its results (more in the west bank than in the Gaza Ghetto). The about 100.000 Palestinians of the occupied territories are employed by Israelis. Most of the roadblocks were removed. The rebellion of the Palestinians in the west bank is channeled mostly through a small minority of activists in the joint and separate week end activities. People are like holding their breath to see if the culminated crisis in the international arena will yield a significant break throw. Mean time, the persistent week end struggles - though in a diminished intensity in Bil'in, Ma'asara, Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, South of Hebron Hills, Sheik Jarrah... with sporadic struggles in other locations.

Banner action against Oslo Energy Forum 23:33 Thu 05 Mar 0 comments
Today we, a group of autonomous environmental activists, hung a 40 square metre banner from the Holmenkollen ski jump to protest the Oslo Energy Forum. The forum is being held at Scandic Holmenkollen Hotel, which is located just a couple of hundred metres from the ski jump. There are two primary reasons for why we chose to have our banner action at this location: firstly, because it is a national landmark that lies in close proximity to the place where the forum is held, and secondly, because winter sports like skiing will be something only found in history books if the fossil fuel industry is allowed to continue at its current levels of pollution.

The joint struggle of the villages local popular comities and the Israeli "anarchists against the wall" initiative started about 12 years ago in the Maskha camp. Joint struggles were developed in various villages with various successes but only the struggle of Bil'in persisted for year after year holding high the flag of popular unarmed struggle and became the focus of attention and inspirations for Palestinians of the whole west bank, many thousands of international activists who joined us for short periods (and some for long ones)... spreading the news and the struggle after returning home. Even the few thousand of the Israeli wide spectrum of the radical left been in Bil'in at least once and helped us to prevent the marginalization of the popular Palestinian resistance. On the coming Friday - the 20th of February, we will celebrate our 10 years of contributing to the Palestinian Tsumud (persistence) - the only thing that prevented the Zionist total transfer out of the Palestinians.

The forth presidential term of Alexander Lukashenko will expire in 2015. In 21 years Lukashenko has managed to suppress almost all social struggles in the country, kill several political opponents in the 90s, and eradicate nearly all of the official opposition. Lukashenko didnt allow Belarusian society to transcend the limits of Soviet mentality. Any complaint or criticism of the government are met with repression from the police or the KGB. Any attempts of organizing face with prosecution and hysteria from the state. The policy of the government can be described simply as follows: Everything that cannot be controlled must be destroyed. At this moment Belarusian state is slowly but steadily getting to the extermination of any dissent or independent thinking.more >>
Late contemplations about the Charlie Hebdo massacre Mar 24 0 comments
The attack on Charlie Hebdo last January was carefully designed to the full benefit of IS, but also to the benefit of the ruling Elite in the advanced capitalist world. It was not intended as punishment for Charlie Hebdo's satiric attitude toward what IS considers as "sacred", but as punishment for millions of Muslims who accepted such an attitude by their silence, especially Muslims who live in France and the west. IS, like everyone else, knew very well that Muslims in Europe and the west will be under heavier pressure after such an attack. IS offered Muslims only one way to defend themselves: to accept its fundamentalist hyper-dogmatic version of Islam and join its ranks - martyrdom and heaven through killing and suicide bombing. The message of IS was clear: freedom of conscience and expression is never a part of Muslims' identity, so it must be declined, denied and fought against. Both IS and the western elite accepted this as a "fact". [Italiano]

Little known in official historiography, probably intentionally forgotten because of the rebellion and desire for freedom that emanates from her writings. Among her works were Peregrinations of a Pariah (1839), Promenades in London (1840) and the booklet The Workers' Union (1843). [Castellano]

What is the weight capacity on the rocker
The finish has a few marks and the seat has one slat that is shorter, but doesn't really effect the chair and is hard to notice. It takes some strength to put together. Even though I glued as recommended it's a little wobbly. I think because I can't get the screws tight enough. But would buy again....

Easy to assemble although the quality of the wood was cheap, not quite sturdy. The 2 rockers that I purchased stood up well for the first outdoor/covered porch season...I only hope that they last many more summers.Read More

I ordered two of these, they came very quickly, but that's where the good part ends....I was sent the wrong color, decided to keep them and make the color work. Easy enough to put together, missing screws though. The paint chips very easily and they are not very sturdy. You get what you pay for. I will order from O.Co again, only next time I will only go with products that have a favorable review!Read More

Well-placed outdoor furniture provides additional function and decoration to a garden.

Patio tables and chairs can turn an unused section of yard into a warm-weather area for meals and socializing with friends. There are few hard and fast rules for placing outdoor furniture, and much is a matter of personal taste; however, patio furniture placement is always best when it is easy to access and kept on stable soil or patio surfaces.
How to Choose a Hammock Chair
It's easy to enjoy your backyard in a relaxing hammock chair, also known as a hanging chair. Just like traditional hammocks and swings, a hammock chair cradles and hugs the body when you sit in it. Compared to a hammock, however, a hammock chair requires far less space and, therefore, fits in a larger number of places. They're especially nice to have on front porches or in backyards with lots of trees. These hanging chairs are also comfortable alternatives to solid chairs and can be hung in most of the places that solid chairs are placed. Choosing a hammock chair is pretty straightforward, but it is important to keep a few details in mind so you can choose the perfect hammock chair for your space and style.

Adding trendy and stylish sectional sofas to your home provides you with a comfortable place to sit at the end of the day and adds fashion to your home. A sectional sofa is a popular choice of seating for formal or casual living rooms, recreation rooms and studies. The one drawback to sectional sofas is their size. They're much larger than traditional sofas and allow for less flexibility in furniture arrangements. However, it's easy to overcome that by following these tips on How to Measure for a Sectional Sofa.
How to Buy a Sectional Sofa
Shopping for a new piece of furniture can be fun but daunting. After all, almost all pieces of living room furniture are somewhat large and will be in your home for many years, so whatever you choose has to be a good fit.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you shop for a durable sofa slipcover.
Coffee Table Fact Sheet
Coffee tables aren't limited to holding coffee cups and oversize books.

They may hold game boards for spirited competitions or the pieces for a jigsaw puzzle. A coffee table can be a focal point or a demure accessory. This coffee table fact sheet should help you learn more about this versatile piece of furniture.
5 Uses for Stacking Chairs
When you want seating that's both compact and functional, stacking chairs are a good solution. Stackable chairs don't have moving joints, making them extra sturdy. You can unstack them quickly for an outdoor party or for entertaining guests and then stack them up and tuck them away in a garage or corner of the home just as quickly. Whether you're looking for a set of durable patio chairs for the summer or comely chairs to use in the living room year-round, stackable chairs may be what you're looking for. Keep reading to find out about five different uses for stacking chairs that you could implement around your home.

Don't worry; with some soap and water and a little bit of time, your outdoor chairs can quickly be clean again. Read on for tips on cleaning your plastic lawn chairs.
Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

This camera is perfect if you keep the focal range 50 and below. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of having such a compact body. That said, It is an extraordinary camera in my opinion. I have the a7 and love it. I will keep my Canon 6d for focal ranges higher than 50 such as my 70-200 2.8 because # 1 it's ridiculous to put that huge lens on it, and by the way, # 2, the metabones adapter is useless as the focus takes forever with it... The view finder actually was really good. I thought I would miss the mirror, but I almost forgot it wasn't there. It's doesn't weigh much, yet feels very sturdy in the hand as well. Excellent picture quality when shooting in raw and then doing your own post with it. Better than my 6d I'd have to say.
Movie Mode
If you've used the movie modes on Sony's recent NEX cameras, then you'll feel right at home using the Alpha 7R. The camera retains the same 1080/24p and 60p resolutions, but with the added benefits of a significantly larger sensor. The a7R also has the ability to output uncompressed video over HDMI (for use with an external recorder, for high-end work), something not available on NEX models.
Something that has been changing from model-to-model in Sony's mirrorless lineup is the position of the dedicated 'red' recording button. On earlier models, the button was too close to the thumb rest, which caused some users to accidentally press it (Sony later added the ability to disable it). On later models, the button ventured further away from the thumb rest to the point where, on the a7R, it's essentially now on the side of the camera. Paradoxically, the placement of this button on the a7R makes it harder to record a movie when you want to.
|Sony has moved the 'red button' so far from the back of the camera that it's now a bit challenging to record a movie. You can have this button active in all shooting modes, or just when the mode dial is set to the video position.
The a7R offers plenty of manual controls to please video enthusiasts. When the movie button is activated in all modes, one can simply enter the shooting mode of their choice and adjust the desired exposure setting. Aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and ISO are all up for grabs. If you've locked out the movie button, you can do all the same stuff by setting the mode dial to the video position. This will also give a 16:9 preview that matches what you'll record.
When manually focusing, you can use focus peaking to pull focus from one subject to another while recording (something that's still fairly rare on consumer-level cameras). We found that focus peaking worked as advertised in those situations.
Another feature is 'zebra', which shows a pattern in overexposed areas of the scene (similar to how some cameras have clipped areas 'blink' in playback mode). You can choose the exposure level at which the pattern shows, with a range of 70 - 100 and above. When dialing down the exposure on the a7R, the zebra pattern kept up with the changes.
The camera offers both mic and headphone ports, and has an on-screen audio level. The mic level can be adjusted, and users can select whether audio output is direct to the headphones or delayed to sync with the recorded footage. There's also a wind filter for improved audio quality when recording outdoors.
In addition to manual controls, you can also throw the camera into either of the Auto modes and take advantage of the same Creative Styles or Picture Effects that are available for still shooting. Speaking of stills, you cannot take a photo while simultaneously recording a video, as you can with some of the a7R's competitors.
Below are the various video size and quality settings available on the a7R. Do note that the default setting is 1080/60i, rather than 60p or 24p.
1920 x 1080 60i/50i Avg. 24 Mbps (high quality)
1920 x 1080 60i/50i Avg. 17 Mbps (standard quality)
1920 x 1080 60p Avg. 28 Mbps (highest quality)
1920 x 1080 24p/25p Avg. 24Mbps (high quality)
1920 x 1080 24p/25p Avg. 17Mbps (standard quality)
1440 x 1080, 1080p (30/25fps), Avg. 12Mbps
640 x 480 (30/25fps), Av. 3Mbps
|• Dolby Digital (AC-3) / MPEG-4 AAC-LC
• Stereo audio capture via built-in or optional external mic.
|Recordable time
|Approx 29 minutes for AVCHD, 20 minutes for MPEG4 (1440 x 1080)
Video quality
Overall, video quality is very good, as is the quality of the audio recorded. The only issues we ran into in our testing was some moiré (see sample 2 below) and focus hunting in low light (see sample 3). As you'd expect with a CMOS-based camera, rolling shutter is something you will run into if you're quickly panning the camera.
As has been demonstrated of the Nikon D800, the a7R produces its video by sub-sampling from the sensor - only using a subset of the available pixels. The way this is done (known as line-skipping), means the camera is measuring more horizontal detail than vertical detail, and is the source of some of the moiré we've seen. This is unlikely to be of concern to most people recording footage in the camera (the resolution is very high), but it may push high-end users to consider towards a dedicated video camera, instead, since this effect will still be present if you use an external recorder.
Autofocus is pretty effective, to our fairly undemanding eyes, with the camera doing a decent job of sticking to its subject, rather than racing off to focus to infinity. Any focus flutter caused by the camera checking it's still in focus is pretty subtle, meaning the camera's footage is pretty usable, so long as your expectations of video aren't as high as for stills. Focus peaking makes it easier to manually focus your footage, if you are taking the quality seriously.
Below are a few sample videos to give you a taste of what the a7R can do. Feel free to download the original MTS files to avoid whatever compression YouTube is applying.
Sample 1
Our first sample is a simple one, showing waves quietly rolling onto the beach. The quality is impressive, as is the audio, aside from a little wind noise. One thing you will notice is that the video goes out of focus for a few seconds, before returning to where it began.

Sample 2
This brief second sample - taken at the Seattle Seahawks victory parade - shows the smooth video you'd expect at 60p, as well as some great detail. Unlike the previous video, there were no focus issues in this example.

'"It's going to be sore right now," he said. "I just got to get used to it."'
The Sabres Report - March 26, 2015
Sabres goalie Matt Hackett ready for start, must deal with soreness ★
Thursday's Phoenix Coverage ★
Coyotes-Sabres Preview (AP)
Arizona Coyotes (22-44-8) at Buffalo Sabres (20-46-7) (The Sports Network)
Sabres could get Bogosian, Kaleta back vs. Coyotes (NHL.com)
Last-place-rooting Sabres fans have message to team: 'Lose!' ★
'The compound name "McEichel" has become a popular hashtag reference among Sabres fans on Twitter. Some have written letters to the editor imploring the Sabres to lose. And several hosts on the team's flagship radio station are on board by providing daily updates on the bottom end of the standings.'
It's business as usual for the Sabres ★
'"The guys in this room are proud guys, we've battled hard and we're not content with where we are, no one's happy with it, but each day you have to try to bring something better and improve."'
Sabres Nolan hope three hurt players can play ★
'Bogosian needs medical clearance to be able to play against the Coyotes, "We'll see tomorrow, I'll have to talk to the medical staff, but I'm optimistic."'
Kaleta, Bogosian hope to return against Coyotes ★
'Bogosian, who has consistently been Buffalo's ice-time leader since he joined the team last month, has missed the past six games with a lower-body injury. He was a full participant at practice on Wednesday at First Niagara Center and hopes to be back for the 7 p.m. faceoff against Arizona.'
The Sabres Report - March 25, 2015
Regier will watch new team play old team ★
'One thing Regier will certainly see is a house divided. Many Buffalo fans cheered for visiting New Jersey during the previous home game, successfully hoping the Sabres would stay three back of Arizona last week. With the stakes higher in a head-to-head matchup, the Coyotes could be treated like the home team unless diehards who don't care about the draft drown out the other fans.'
Patrick Kaleta knows long Sabres career could end soon ★
'"You never know what anything's going to bring," Kaleta said about his uncertain future Tuesday after skating with some teammates inside the First Niagara Center. "But my job is to come in here and enjoy the time, the rest of the season, try to come in with energy, enthusiasm, try to play my game."'
Ted Nolan expects crowd to be respectful Thursday ★
'"I don't think you have to say anything to this city," Nolan said Tuesday. "This city knows what it's like to work. It's a city full of workers. I don't know anybody in this town who would go to work and not give their best, and that's what we're trying to do as a hockey team. So I'm quite sure the fans will get behind that."'
Sabres regroup, look ahead to Thursday ★
'"You have enough just to get where we get to and not enough to get on the other side. That's part of the process you have to go through when you're in a situation that we are," Nolan said. "We're right there. If we had a [Tyler] Seguin on our side, maybe the game is switched.'
The Sabres Report - March 24, 2015
Sabres make just enough mistakes to lose ★
'The teams are even in games played at 73, with Arizona giving Buffalo a game in hand again when it plays Tuesday night at Detroit. The Coyotes – who are 1-17-1 in their last 19 games – have 50 points while Buffalo has 47.'
Enroth looks back fondly on Buffalo days ★
'"I loved playing in Buffalo. I loved being a Sabre," Enroth said. "When I got traded, there was a lot of new stuff around me. It was a little bit tough but that's how it is. I'm still trying to deal with it."'
Tuesday's Dallas Coverage ★
Stars trade goals with Sabres, come out on top 4-3 (Dallas Morning News)
How Stars kept very slim playoff hopes alive against lowly Sabres (Dallas Morning News)
He said it: Players and coaches comment after Stars' 4-3 win over Buffalo Monday (Dallas Morning News)

Desperate Stars Rally to Defeat Sabres, 4-3 (DallasStars.com)

Photo gallery (Sabres.com)
Since their trade from the Sabres, new Jets Drew Stafford and Tyler Myers fitting right in in Winnipeg ★
'"It was obviously a tough situation in Buffalo, but I feel I carried my game over from the way I was playing over there," Myers said. "It was tough, we were playing a lot of D-zone minutes in Buffalo, so it was tough for every guy in that room to get the most out of what they can do. But ever since I came here, it's been a lot of fun for me. I know Drew feels the same way, talking to him. I'm just really fortunate to come to a team that plays this way."'
Stars rally for 4-3 win over Sabres ★
'The Sabres, last in the NHL with 47 points, are 1-8-2 in their past 11 games.'
