Tours - Land / Sea, Gibraltar
39 Reviews
39 Reviews
The Rock tour is a must if you are visiting Gilbraltar. Bytaxi or minibus the tour will take you around through St. Michael's Cavesand the Apes Den along with Europa Point and other sites like the WWII tunnels. It was very nice. Some tours even include a boat ride where you see dolphins which is interesting too.
Picked up from a travel agency when I was in Gibraltar
Friday - MOLINO DE LA PACA and MIJAS
Pick up time from your hotel is at 08:30, returning to Gibraltar at around 18:30. Please remember not to forget your passport and remember that the local currency in Spain is Euros.
You will be driven by our experienced driver/guide on a comfortable air-conditioned coach to a beautiful town called Alhaurin el Grande in the Malaga sierra where we will stop at Molino de la Paca: An old olive oil factory dating back to 1870, the Molino still demonstrates the ancient process of the production of what is known as "liquid gold". Its main attraction is the chance to see how an 1870 oil mill actually works.
The visit demonstrates the age-old process of collection, grinding and storage of one of the basic products of the Mediterranean diet, which is of great interest above all to foreign visitors. The mill has never ceased its industrial activity and its maximum production of olive oil per day is around 12 tonnes. The liquid is extracted from the sacks of olives that the farmers in the area deliver directly to the premises.
What's more, the Molino de la Paca has preserved all the original machinery used to obtain the so-called "liquid gold" such as the stone mill wheels made 130 years ago, which weigh more than 3000 kilos and press teh olives as they turn on their own axis. This is indeed a real treat and a tour by a local guide plus a sampling consisting of a glass of Malaga wine, a slice of bread with olive oil, olives and crisps, is included in the excursion.
After our visit to the Molino de la Paca, we depart to a spectacular little white wash town at the top of the mountain called Mijas, where you can opt to have the typical donkey taxi tour around its narrow streets or simply browse around its elegant shops, whilst having lunch at your leisure in any of its restaurants. The views from Mijas are marvelous of the entire coast line, a visit truly worth making.
At 16:30 we will return to the coach and make our own way back to Gibraltar, returning at your hotel around 18:30.

After lunch you will continue the city tour around the old town, escorted at all times by your local guide. Shopping here is quite cheap and you can buy pretty much anything you want, but please be careful of what you buy as some products can not be exported back into Spain later, so it's always worthwhile to check this with your guide who will be more than happy to assist you. After this pleasant walk, you will once again board the coach and be driven back to the port, passing captivating scenic views along the way.
The ferry crossing back to the Spanish port is also very romantic, as dolphins swim close to the Kiel of the ferry and even whales can be seen in the distance, with the Rock of Gibraltar standing graciously in the background, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar.
When arriving at the port you will then board the awaiting air-conditioned coach that will then return you back to your hotel in Gibraltar.

* Souvenirs, toilets and bar facilities on-board
* Recommended by leading Tour Operators and Cruise Lines.
Dolphin World combines an unforgettable dolphin-watching experience in the Bay and Strait of Gibraltar with a fascinating commentary, making the experience a unique Rock Tour by sea!
Taken from the leaflet I picked up when I was last home!
Prices change according to time of year and sailing times too so you would need to call up in advance.
The Bay of Gibraltar has one of the highest concentrations of dolphins in the Mediterranean and there are a number of companies running trips out to see them, I used Dolphin World. Best time is November to January and be aware that the boats tend to go into dry dock during February or March for maintenance. The cost is about £20/£25, either pick up a leaflet at one of the tourist places along Main St. or take a stroll down to Marina Bay and check out prices and times.
If you go to Gibralter you must visit the undergraund tunnels there you can learn a little bit of the Rock history, inside this tunnels you will find some example of the meals that the soldiers eat at that time, some of the weapons that was used and the soldiers cloths. When this trip finished do not forget to visit the top of the Rock and appreciate the magnificent view of the peninsula, but be careful with the gracious monkeys because they still all you have on your hands (sunglasses, bags, photographic machines, etc…)
I've not done this trip, but have seen the dolphins in this area. A few years ago while coming down the coast of Spain by bus, just a few miles from Gibraltar I noticed the waters were disturbed. I realised that it was dolphins, many hundreds of them, jumping as they made their progress along the coast.
There is a Dolphin cruise that heads out into Algeciras bay or the Straights, the operators guarantee sightings of dolphins or they will return your money. The trip costs (£20 adults, £8 children)
A tour I did a few years ago, a trip around the rock visiting all its attractions. You will be driven by minibus up the rock, visiting the nature reserve, St Michael's cave, Son et lumiere (historical show), the Great Siege Tunnels, the Apes Den, the Moorish Castle and stop off at a few of the panoramic viewpoints.
The tour was £10 when I did it, but I understand is now about £14, and good value for money in my opinion. You get to see everything of interest in about 3 hours or a little more.
Spend a day walking around the top of 'The Rock'. There's a lot to see up there and the views across to Africa are stunning.
I went up on the cable car (see later section for details) and walked down at the northern end later in the afternoon. There are other ways to visit; hiring a car or taking a mini-bus seemed to be popular. The car won't take you far though... where the apes seem to gather there is massive congestion. It's easier to walk!
There are several other attractions on The Rock besides the views. They include:
St. Michael's Cave;
O'Hara's Battery;
The Great Siege Tunnels;
The Military Heritage Centre;
City Under Siege;
The Moorish Castle.
If you pay one pound more for the cable car you get a ticket that gives you 'free' entrance into all these attractions. Otherwise you have to pay to visit each one.
O'Hara's Battery was disappointing and it was a bit of a waste of energy walking up to see it. St. Michael's Cave is worthwhile, as are the Great Siege Tunnels. The Military Heritage Centre is small, but informative and the City Under Siege is worth a look around, though it seems a bit neglected. The Moorish castle wears its battle scars and inside it is quite incongruous; a good example of how Spain's Muslim rulers showed their flare for beautiful interior design!
Above everything though it is the stunning views of Andalucia's coastline and that of Morocco and the cloud capped and startlingly towering Atlas Mountains across the straits that really attract one to the top of The Rock.
The views... enjoy them over a snack and a cup of coffee!
Here's your chance to get really close to the dolphins of the sea. Due to the geographical location of the bay, a huge population of happy dolphins live here, waiting for the dolphin watching boats to show up, so that they can come and play a bit.
Chance to see dolphins is 100%. In fact there are hundreds of them, and they are just as curious as you!

'Courage' and 'Caroline' Have Just Been Pardoned; They're Going to Disneyland!
ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 25 — The National Thanksgiving Turkey will really have something to celebrate following today's traditional presidential pardon ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. "Courage" and his alternate, "Carolina," are going to Disneyland! It starts with a ride to Dulles International Airport. Then the birds will "fly" on United Airlines Flight "Turkey-1″ to their new home at Disneyland Resort in Southern California.
The trip from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles will mark the fifth consecutive year that the National Thanksgiving Turkey has celebrated his pardon at a Disney resort. Accompanied by National Turkey Federation Chairman Walter Pelletier of Butterball LLC, Courage, a 20-week-old, 45-pound tom turkey, will be the honorary grand marshal in the "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" Thanksgiving parade down Main Street, U.S.A. Following Thursday's parade, Courage and his alternate, Carolina, will find a home at Santa's Reindeer Round-Up at Big Thunder Ranch in Frontierland, where they'll remain throughout the holidays and the rest of their lives.
Joining Courage and Carolina in the Disneyland Park parade on Thanksgiving Day will be 200 volunteers who, as part of National Family Volunteer Day on Saturday, Nov. 21, packed 20,000 boxes of food for Thanksgiving for those in need. Marching behind a Thanksgiving banner, the volunteers are being celebrated for their spirit of community service, the focus of Disney Parks' "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program in 2010. Disney Parks hopes to inspire 1 million people to perform a day of volunteer service for a participating organization by giving them a free one-day admission ticket to a Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort theme park.
"It is a tremendous honor to represent the turkey industry at the White House and to continue this 62-year-old tradition," said Pelletier. "Like all Americans, the men and women of our industry faced a very challenging year economically, so it will be gratifying to be at the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation and then participate in Disney's Thanksgiving event to reflect on the true meaning of Thanksgiving and the holiday season."

Theater in the United States For over a hundred years, Jewish women have been involved in the American theater as writers, actors, directors, designers and producers. The vitality of the Yiddish theater, the splendor of Broadway, the rich tapestry of the regional theater—and everything in between—all owe a debt to the Jewish women who have given of their talents, their energy, their drive, and their dreams.

Meet Zomby, last seen exploring the badland territories beyond grime, dubstep, garage, rave, dubstep, bassline, or kuduro. He describes his M.O. as like a confused pirate on a sonic treasure hunt, who "only has half the map" but keeps "finding 'X's." On this year's output, he's going to be one infamous pirate. Whether he's fallen off the edge of the flat earth is entirely another matter.
Zomby first appeared on dubstep's radar in 2005 with ragga bouncer "Spliff Dub", though in fairness he'd been raving and DJing for many years before. Also from that era, "Memories" evoked imagery of raves long since gone, yet it was the 12"s on Hyperdub and Ramp in 2008 that signalled he'd found a few "X's" and located himself somewhere fresh and new. Download his mix for Radio 1 here.
Take for example his explanation of how he built recent track "Aquafre5h": It gives you a glimpse into his mindstate and the sounds he's chasing. "I sampled some Pharrell bits'n'bobs and a Mario NES game I sampled and processed so all elements of the song are correct...I've been working with a custom palette of sound for a while now. I suppose these songs are the result of that and great skunk."
However it was created, Zomby's music has found fans in many of the current sonic pioneers of new directions, like Jamie Vex'd, Starkey, Darkstar, and even Burial. Yet Zomby's sound is most impressive when its effect on regular listeners is observed. While other producers can generate impact or momentum, Zomby dubs tend to induce a unique mix of shock or confusion; a stunned sense of "what the…?" Recent beats "Gloop", "Parrot Stew", and "Aquafre5h" feature mutating bottom ends, unstable and chaotic bass bubbles that seem to emit gasses like some primordial soup. And while Zomby's sound regularly travels into other moods, these mutating aquabass tracks are by themselves alone good enough to warrant acclaim.
"Garage is my wife. I cheated on her a couple of times but wholly regret it," he explains in interview. "Darker garage was more the sound I was planning to work with but grime was also a massive part of the jigsaw for me. Eski and dubstep really went hand in hand for me. I didn't see any difference in the style only the sounds used so I got really interested in transposing styles. Like negative imprints of other peoples beats that would be called on genre or style and then having sounds transposed would lift it into another…"
Other massive influences on the Zomby sound are rave, hip hop/crunk, house and kuduro and in this he's found kinship with acts like Darkstar, Rustie or Joker. But despite moving in similar orbits, Zomby still remains alone, isolated on his own trajectory, spending nights in on the 'net consuming music old and new on YouTube, mentally recyling it through a skunk filter and rebuilding it, wrongly but oh so right.
"It's not so much a new direction," he says of his sound, "it's just about writing real songs or tracks that are justified in more than one sense. Nothing novelty or formed for its own sake is really doing it anymore. Every element has to be looked at and analyzed and really it's a state of minimizing to move forward, when you've worked out how to refine what you do you can turn the taps on as such. I think that's what's started to come through now."
In interview, Zomby bares more than a few traits in common with Burial. Both are fiercely passionate about their own music, hark back to the spirit of rave for inspiration and produce fragile, unpolished but startlingly original music. It's little surprise then that Zomby declares himself Burial's number one fan, while his new side project, a throwback-to-'91 rave album on Werk is sure to appeal to fans of Burial's influences.
Judging by interviews, so much of Burial's inspiration is the bittersweet memories of raves now long since extinct, and as Zomby expounds his passion for the era, all his influences-- hip-hop, garage, dubstep, jungle, rave, kuduro, grime-- seem to coalesce into one coherent whole, now facilitated by the vast visibility of music on the 'net and bathed in the fading afterglow of hardcore. Perhaps every "what-the?" moment he creates in new listeners' brains is just a by-product of his own urge to forever re-create that first rave-rush again in his own.
"I get those rushes now man," he explains. "The songs I like make my hairs stand on end. That's when I know the song is a winner. For me there's not gonna be enough time in my life to devour all the music I want so the real rush I'm searching for I'm probably never gonna find. Eskimo was a rush. Crunk's been a bit of a rush. For me its forward ahead at full speed really. I'm not looking to bring something back. It's more just my vibe I carry through the music. It's the vibe that's gone now. It's totally gone now but I remember it. That's the thing that inspires me. I write from that place."
Out of the glare of critical hype, grime continues to flourish. If the mixtape era allowed MCs to grow as artists and build independent fanbases away from the demands and constraints of major label deals, 2008 is the year grime began to return to the mass market spotlight and hence to the majors, yet on its own terms. Long after it was critically written off, perhaps grime is becoming it's own form of British urban pop. There are signs of activity and organization amongst A-list MCs, most of whom were on stage with Kano at the O2's Indigo club last week.
The main message that the Indigo gig gave out is that grime acts, even self-funded or independently signed ones, can fill major venues. Kano's return from his major-funded deal has seen a flourish of energy by the MC, making himself massively visible both in the grime scene and on social media sites. Independent and using MySpace, Blogger, YouTube, Facebook and Bebo to great effect, not to mention conventional radio, he appears twice as visible to grime fans than when he was backed by a massive label. Musically it's the same old Kano flow, just minus the commercial touches big labels require, like Craig David duets.
The guests he did choose to share the stage with speak volumes about both his album 140 Grime Street and where Kano really is at musically. Skepta, someone who needs no introduction in the DIY-street hype-self-funded stakes, came blazing on stage in a white silk dressing gown. If not pantomime, it was certainly pure energy. And he got Wiley to turn up.
Yet few bars got more crowd response than Ghetto's. Word is he has a few album deals on the table, as you might expect from a man who's made not just the year's hottest tune, "Sing for Me", but the now obligatory, chart-friendly electro version, which he performed at Indigo too. Check the video with its entertaining visual twist. Ghetts also features on Wretch 32's forthcoming single "Ina De Ghetto", mentioned last month but increasing in hype as the year goes on. Add in Wiley's warm but powerful "Where's My Brother" and the momentum for grime keeps building. Durrty Goodz is quietly building a massive fresh catalogue to unleash. JME tours this month-- something fairly unheard of in grime-- playing the rock venue the Scala this Friday. Chipmunk, one of the few youngers to really get his professional game going up and beyond the core grime scene, has come in strong with his new single "Beast" which sounds like it could cross over, despite or in fact probably thanks also to the terrible guitar solo/cackling breakdown at the end.
Grime remains most vital, most exciting when it's dark, complex and raw, so tracks like Trim's "Pram" and DVA's "Bullet A Go Fly [ft. Badness, Riko, Flowdan and Killa P]" would still shine in any month. Equally exiting underground sounds are Jammer's "Leave Me Alone" and P Money's new mixtape. But it's also great to see grime acts breaking through the music industry's glass ceiling, getting organized, working with, not against, the business' machinery so it can bring its music through on it's own terms. Speaking on Logan's show, Roll Deep described how they seem to be allowed to play venues in London again, something the authorities have quietly blocked for them in the past and other acts. Target described the music industry's attitude to them as "wary" and how they were having to "break stereotypes" to promote their new (independently funded) album. This seems all the more crazy if you think it was over five years ago that ex-Roll Deep member Dizzee won the Mercury Prize. Like Dylan Mills, Roll Deep have had to soften their sound to find commercial appeal, but at least their voice is beginning to be heard beyond the confines of their own community. After all why have Addicted to Bass when you can have Goldie's "Timeless"?
Dusk + Blackdown's debut album "Margins Music" is out now. Watch the video here. Download their new September Rinse mix here.

This movie does not describe the America I learned about in civics class, or think of when I pledge allegiance to the flag. Yet I know I will get the usual e-mails accusing me of partisanship, bias, only telling one side, etc. What is the other side? See this movie, and you tell me.
A triumph not of reporting but of synthesis.
A rage-inducing expose.
It is, at once, among the most riveting and hard-to-watch documentaries of recent years.
Where "No End" is cool and measured, Taxi is hot, anguished, and sometimes as difficult to watch as pictures of torture ought to be.
As numbing as the drumbeat of downbeat documentaries can be, as hard as it is to even be shocked at the depravities committed in our name, a film like this remains important, both as an indictment of the present day and as a warning to future generations that the ends don't always justify the means.
"Taxi" captures the evil that many men do under the guise of American justice. Just as Bardem's menacing Chigurh approaches his targets in "No Country," American military administrators approached Afghan detainees with shackles and convoluted policy in their pockets.
What one interviewee calls a "fog of ambiguity" surrounding what was and wasn't officially authorized shielded superior officers and key members of the Department of Defense -- namely Donald Rumsfeld.
The film quickly becomes one of the most powerful, carefully researched investigations of the moral-legal side effects of current American military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's terrifying in a way that sneaks up on you.
So disturbing, on so many levels.
Gibney also made the Oscar-nominated "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," and he gets remarkable access to people you wouldn't expect to talk to him (including U.S. interrogators charged with crimes at Bagram).
It's the equal of "No End in Sight" in its tight focus on the nuts and bolts of incompetence, and it surpasses any recent melodrama in the empathy it evokes for both its victims and--surprisingly--victimizers.
If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, this film will be essential.
Along with "No End in Sight," this movie is one of the essential documentaries of the ongoing war.
Impossible to shake off.
Alex Gibney's forceful documentary starts with a single tragedy: the torture of an Afghani prisoner at Bagram Air Base. By the time it's over, he's broadened his focus into a documentary so damning of the U.S. government, it's hard to believe he even got it made.
An invaluable document, both for its hard questions and for the sickeningly unflinching interviews that provide the answers.
Journeys into a new heart of darkness, the destination of which lies outside the frontiers of humanity.
Relentless, thorough and devastating.
In the end, this passionate indictment of present U.S. policies stirs both sadness and outrage.
Photos and video of torture at Bagram and Abu Ghraib are the most viscerally disturbing elements of Taxi to the Dark Side, but the way soft-spoken soldiers were transformed into beasts with the tacit approval of the higher-ups is just as profoundly chilling.
Taxi is an impressively blueprinted work. Still images--from autopsy tables, makeshift holding cells, the Oval Office--are selected and deployed to maximum effect.
Taxi to the Dark Side adds something new to our awareness -- interviews with soldiers who served as interrogators in Afghanistan, and in Iraq's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, and who, in some cases that ended in courts martial, served prison terms themselves.
As viewers of his Enron film will testify, Gibney is a scrupulous director, and Taxi to the Dark Side is filled with detailed factual information.
Although it's tempting to call Gibney's documentary "the one Iraq film you MUST see this season!!!" (which, by the way, it is), it's not just about Iraq. It's about torture as policy.

I don't think the S&W has a chrome lined barrel while the DPMS does
I believe the S&Ws have a melonite coating which is supposed to have a slight accuracy advantage . When I say slight I mean most of us would never be able to tell unless you were shooting from a bench setup
A buddy has a DPMS sportical; it has been accurate and reliable enough for his plinking needs. He did have a post-purchase wish that he had spent a little more and gotten a more fully dressed model.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Looking at the differences, the S&W Sport has 7075-T6 upper and lower receivers, the DPMS Sportical only the lower is 7075-T6, they cut corners on the alloy in the upper. The S&W has a melonited 1:8" barrel, DPMS non-chrome lined 1:9. Also the DPMS doesn't come with front or rear sights, the S&W comes with both. To me there's no comparison, S&W for the win. Here's what Bud's Gun shop says about the DPMS: "Panther 5.56 NATO Sportical has a 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel with 6 grooves, right hand 1X9 twist, button rifled Lite Contour with A2 flash hider (birdcage) 16" barrel, gas operated rotating bolt, and a 8620 steel bolt carrier. The upper receiver features flattop Lo-Pro Extruded. The Upper Receiver made of 6066-T6 aircraft aluminum. The Lower Receiver is made of 7075 T6 aircraft aluminum and feature semi-auto trigger group, aluminum trigger guard, and a aluminum magazine release button. The stock is DPMS Pardus Carbine Stock. The handguards are GlacierGuards oval carbine length with aluminum Delta Ring."
______ The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. ________________________________________ US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
It would have been better to use 6066-t6 for the lower reciever. A stiffer upper is probably a bit more important than the lower. But for all intents and purposes it probably wouldn't make much of a difference on a 16" ar anyways. I love to get my hands on a test out one of these 1x8 twist melonited barrels. It really is a wonder why more manufacturers aren't making them this way.

The number of valid returns authorized - over 99% of all returns - benefiting both shoppers and retailers.
How the Process Works
The Retail Equation's Verify Return Authorization can be configured in several ways, depending on the retailer's requirements. In most cases, when a consumer wants to make a return, a retailer will scan the original purchase receipt and will also swipe or scan the individual's driver's license or government-issued ID card. (This is actually a common process; in fact, according to the National Retail Federation's 2011 return survey, 62% of retailers require an ID to perform a merchandise return without a receipt.)
ID collection is performed in order to make an accurate identification of the person and his/her unique return behavior. As you return merchandise, the system compares variables such as your return frequency, dollar amounts, and/or time against a set of prescribed rules that form that particular retailer's return policy.
Verify Return Authorization enables retailers to rely on objective, verifiable data to determine whether a return is valid rather than relying on subjective observations and guesswork by sales clerks. This objectivity ensures that only those with highly suspect return-and-exchange behavior are affected. The vast majority — approximately 99% — of returns are accepted.
FAQ: What are the Reasons Why a Consumer Would be Denied a Return?
The 1 percent of consumers who get denied exhibit return behaviors that mimic fraud or abuse or exhibit habits that are inconsistent with the retailer's return policy.

The Animal Rescue League (ARL) of Boston received a $3 million grant from The Stanton Foundation to fund ARL's efforts to develop its Center for Shelter Dogs. The contribution is the largest ever in ARL's 109-year history.
Once completed, the Center for Shelter Dogs will provide a model for improving the welfare and placement of homeless dogs being cared for by humane organizations, animal control facilities, and rescue groups nationwide. To accomplish this goal, the center will improve its ability to screen for, evaluate, and resolve canine behavior problems, develop better methods of evaluating stress in shelter environments, and improve strategies for matching dogs with prospective adopters.
"We are honored to be selected by The Stanton Foundation to develop a world-class program for homeless dogs," said Jay Bown, president of the Animal Rescue League of Boston. "We are grateful to The Stanton Foundation for its financial call to action for shelter dogs in our society."

Chaka Khan Boycotts Florida For Trayvon Martin
July 30, 2013 // 0 Comments
In a recent interview, singing sensation Chaka Khan (pictured) said she will not perform in Florida, afterGeorge Zimmerman's acquittal in Trayvon Martin's murder, according to the Huffington Post.
Khan, who recorded a tribute song for Martin in March, decided to take her disdain for the not-guilty verdict a step further, "Well I am boycotting Florida. I had a booking there last week, and I cancelled it. But if any tribute comes up I'll do it. Absolutely."
Kahn believes the trial was indicative of the racism that is still alive in America, "Well, the trial, No. 1, was a travesty. Racism is still very much alive and well in this country. It has gone to more of a cerebral state, but it's alive and well. The new slavery is keeping Black men in jail."
As a Chicago native, Khan also spoke about how the violence in the city is a by-product of socio-economic cuts, leaving youth with little recreational options, "Well, these kids have nothing else to do. I remember growing up there when we had after-school community centers. I think that would be a big help. The sad thing is that this is America. In all of America, these kids have nothing to do after school, if they go to school. And if they don't, I can't really blame them. The school system sucks. So there's a lot of work that needs to be done, and I plan on being hands on with it.
"Everyone should be of service in some way. There's a reason for being here. We're here fundamentally on this planet right now to be of assistance to one another. And it doesn't matter whether you help a lot of people or one person. I'm lucky that I can affect many people at one time as opposed to someone who works in the bank."

I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Birmingham. I completed my Ph.D. philosophy at the University of Michigan. I am interested in all things modal, conditional, context-sensitive, projective, and expressive. My dissertation was on the meaning of normative language—especially deontic modals—and how incorporating insights from philosophy of language and linguistics can illuminate classic questions in normative and metanormative theory. I am currently working on a book defending contextualism about a range of expressions that have figured in recent contextualism/relativism debates (below).

CORRECTING And REPLACING SWM Index Rebalances Canadian Energy Indexes
Second graph, second sentence should read: The index has 13 constituents and a 1.76 percent forward dividend yield following its rebalance on September 30, 2012. (sted The index has 13 constituents and a 1.76 percent forward dividend yield following its rebalance on June 29, 2012.) Also, tickers were added for searching purposes.
The corrected release reads:
Oil Sands Investment Index Rotates into Bull Mode Allocation
SWM Index LLC, an independent provider of energy-focused investment indexes, today announced the rebalance of its three oil sands related indexes. The rebalanced indexes include the Sustainable Oil Sands Sector Index® (SOSSI), SWM Canadian Energy Income Index® (SWMEI) and Sustainable North American Oil Sands Index® (SNAOSI). The Sustainable Oil Sands Sector Index (SOSSI) tracks the largest, most liquid Canadian based energy companies with production in Canada's oil sands regions. The index has 13 constituents and a 1.76 percent forward dividend yield following its rebalance on September 30, 2012. The complete list of holdings can be viewed at www.swmindex.com/oilsands/holdings. "The recent offer by China's CNOOC to purchase Nexen, an index constituent, means that the sector is in play. I expect more constituents to become takeover targets if this deal is approved by regulators," states index creator Derek Gates. The SWM Canadian Energy Income Index (SWMEI) tracks both oil sands and high yield Canadian energy companies. The index oscillates between the two sectors based on WTI Crude oil spot price trends. The recent rise in crude oil prices resulted in a switch to the Bull Mode allocation for Q4, 2012, with a 70 percent weighting to Canadian oil sands companies and 30 percent to Canadian high yield energy companies. The forward yield is 2.88 percent and the number of constituents remains at 40. The list of holdings can be viewed at www.swmindex.com/canadianenergy/holdings. "The switch to our Bull Mode Allocation is timely given the recently proposed Nexen buyout and US Federal Reserve's recommitment to quantitative easing," asserts Gates. "The combination of a strong Canadian dollar, M&A activity and rising energy production could result in a strong period of outperformance for Canadian energy stocks." The Sustainable North American Oil Sands Index (SNAOSI) tracks the widest range of companies involved in the Canadian oil sands sector. These index constituents cover all aspects of the sector including production, pipelines, energy services, engineering/construction and refinery/integrated oil. As of the current rebalance, there are 38 constituents and a forward yield of 3.00 percent. The list of holdings can be viewed at www.swmindex.com/snaosi/constituents. "The goal of the SNAOSI index is to invest in the energy related businesses that will benefit the most from the growth in the Canadian oil sands sector," says Gates. "The index provides investors with greater diversification, higher growth prospects, higher dividend income and lower concentration risk than traditional market cap based energy indexes."
