  • TODOS SANTOS Our Magical Oasis Between Desert, Ocean, Mountains, and Sea, Awaits You
    Winter 2019 RARERICARDO AMIGO REAL ESTATE TODOS SANTOS Our magical oasis between desert, ocean, mountains, and sea, awaits you. Unwind, relax, and enjoy our tranquil lifestyle. 1 Editor: Diego Guzman Copywriters: Jen Crandall Jeffrey Ferman Design: Diego Guzman Photography: Diego Guzman Cabo Rockwell Victor Chavez Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ricardoamigorealestate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raretodossantos/ Blog: http://todossantosblog.com/ On the cover... CASA BELLA A luxury home overlooking it all. 4BR/4.5BA above the Pacific Ocean. Separate caretaker’s quarters. Full details on pages 10 - 13 2 Thank you for picking up our magazine! I hope that you find it useful in your search of a property here in Paradise. Our mantra here at Ricardo Amigo Real Estate is: “WE GET WHY YOU’RE HERE!” I write this in our ads, attach it to our handouts, and repeat it at staff meetings because I want you, as a buyer, to know that my team and I have all been through this experience, and the common thread be- tween all of us is that we wanted a different way of life than what we knew. The inspiration to make the change to live here full- or part-time, or to just invest in the Todos Santos area to have something for the future, comes from that peaceful and tranquil feeling that envelops you when you are here... I felt it immediately on my first visit, and two months later, I came back to stay. It has now been almost 18 years and I can gratefully say that this feeling prevails as a part of my daily life.

Under evaluation is a distinct coastal boulder bed (CBB) derived from banded rhyolite with boulders arrayed in a partial-ring configuration against one side of the headland on Ensenada Almeja (Clam Bay) north of Loreto. Preconditions related to the thickness of rhyolite flows and vertical fissures that intersect the flows at right angles along with the specific gravity of banded rhyolite delimit the size, shape and weight of boulders in the Almeja CBB. Mathematical formulae are applied to calculate the wave height generated by storm surge impacting the headland. The average weight of the 25 largest boulders from a transect nearest the bedrock source amounts to 1200 kg but only 30% of the sample is estimated to exceed a full metric ton in weight.

    Monday, May 24, 2021 | No. 169 When Star Wars opened May 25, 1977 no one but Steven Spielberg thought it would be a hit. George Lucas had been turned down by Universal, United Artists and Disney before pitching 20th Century Fox his sci-fi epic inspired by 1930's serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, the 1966 TV series Star Trek and Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune. Fox creative affairs chief Alan Ladd, Jr. greenlighted SW, but Fox's distribution arm never considered it a likely hit. Fox marketers wanted to change the title because moviegoers might think Star Wars was about the Vietnam War or, perhaps, superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorce. When Lucas screened a rough cut for some director pals, they weren't impressed. Brian De Palma reportedly called it the "worst movie" ever made. Spielberg, however, predicted SW would be "the biggest movie of all time." Lucas thought SW was doomed and skipped its premiere to vacation with Spielberg in Hawaii where they heard SW was a boxoffice phenomenon and then came up with a new project to do together -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the first Indiana Jones blockbuster. Exhibitors were reluctant to book SW, thinking only kids and sci-fi buffs would buy tickets, so it opened at just 32 theatres. Two days later, it was in 43 theatres and a week later in 157. It peaked in mid-August at 1,096, a very wide run then. Produced for $11 million, its original release did $461 million domestically and $196 million abroad – huge numbers at Theatrical Poster for Star Wars, the time.
