About Home | About Ron Rice | About Amy Raley Ron Rice (owner/founder of Hawaiian Tropic ) is the perfect example of the "American Dream". Born near Asheville, NC, Rice grew up in a "two-story log cabin" on his family owned mountain. An entrepreneur from the age of five, he sold everything from homemade Christmas wreaths to honey, grapes, apples and apple cider at his roadside stand. Rice remembers coming home from football practice each day and spending every spare minute with his family carrying rocks and mortar to the peak of their mountain to build their father's dream house. Sadly, his parents only lived in the home for one year before the State Transportation Dept. ordered the house torn down to make room for Highway 26. Uprooted, Clyde Rice died a year later at the age of 73. "How hard he worked at his job on that house - had a lasting impression on me," quotes Rice. After graduating from college, Rice moved first to Myrtle Beach, SC and then to Florida following the sun, working as a teacher and a lifeguard. When Rice created Hawaiian Tropic in a garbage can (right), in his garage, he was earning $4300 per year as a chemistry teacher/football coach at a local high school and a summertime lifeguard. He mixed batches of coconut oil, bananas, aloe avocados and other exotic ingredients and hired a crew of three pre-teens to fill bottles and keep track of the secret recipe. By sampling on the beach and utilizing lifeguard friends and fellow teachers to distribute the product, demand for the product grew throughout the United States. To increase notoriety and sales, Rice turned to something else he knew well - sports! We sponsored everything you could think of. We were in NASCAR racing for ten years and Paul Newman drove the winning "Hawaiian Tropic Porsche at the 24 Hours of LeMans, France. We were involved in hang-gliding, surfing, skydiving, water-skiing, snow skiing, tennis tournaments and on and on," says Rice. The name Hawaiian Tropic grew to worldwide renown. Next was the development of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant . This annual search for the most beautiful woman in the world is now the second largest pageant in the world. Over 1,500 pageants are run in the US alone and pageants are held in 45 other countries to select the finalists. Miss Hawaiian Tropic International , along with other selected finalists and contestants, travel the globe participating in major media promotions. The team makes appearances at such events as charity functions, sportscar races, concerts, the Cannes Film Festival , music videos, MTV and in major film productions. They meet stars like Burt Reynolds on location for filming, Clint Eastwood at celebrity charity ski tournaments, and Julio Iglesias at concerts an on music video productions. The models also travel to exotic beach locations for the annual Hawaiian Tropic photo shoot. These photos are used for television, major fashion magazines worldwide, billboards and calendars. Today, Hawaiian Tropic is the second largest suncare manufacturer in the world, with twelve manufacturing plants on five continents, grossing over $200 million per year. The garbage can ( right) used to mix that first batch is silverplated and stands in Rice's living room as a reminder of the "early" days and Rice's tireless effort. Rice is single with daughter Sterling (left) . The Rice's enjoy the "good life," with an 80-foot sailing yacht lovingly named the Princess Sterling , and a $250,000 Lamborghini that was loaned to Ron's buddies, Burt and Hal for the movie "Cannonball Run." Rice's main residence in Daytona Beach is a $5.5 million palatial estate with four pools, a recording studio and a disco. In memory of his Dad, Ron had truck loads of granite brought down from North Carolina to provide the exterior for his home. Clyde Rice would have liked that.

Four of us had lunch here today and we all thought the food was pretty good. I ordered the seafood mix which comes with some fried shrimp, fried mahi mahi, and teriyaki chicken along with rice and macaroni salad. All of it was tasty if not exactly exciting. I think the fish was the best item - very tender and juicy even though it was fried. One question I have is how did macaroni salad become associated with Hawaiian food. Lived in Hawaii for about 11 years and I don't recall anything about macaroni salad - maybe its just my memory playing tricks on me. My other companions ordered chicken teriyaki and kalbi ribs. The kalbi ribs were good - yea I tasted one - but you only get three with the meal. All of the food is served in takeout boxes or plates. The restaurant looked clean and the workers were friendly and helpful. If you are looking for inexpensive Hawaiian style food this place is a good bet. ” zen_tricky (112) reviews 11/8/2005 Ono Hawaiian BBQ Cuisine: Hawaiian Barbecue Outer Sunset “ two words-plate lunch.ironic replacement for jenny craigs at albertsons plaza. if you like hawaiin fastfood this is the real deal ” zen_tricky (112) reviews 11/8/2005 Ono Hawaiian BBQ Cuisine: Hawaiian Barbecue Outer Sunset “ two words-plate lunch.ironic replacement for jenny craigs at albertsons plaza. if you like hawaiin fastfood this is the real deal ” dmz (27) reviews 11/2/2005 Ono Hawaiian BBQ Cuisine: Hawaiian Barbecue Outer Sunset “ If you're looking for cheap eats, then check this place out. Ono Hawaiian BBQ offers island favorites like chicken katsu, BBQ ribs, Spam moco, loco moco, etc. It's not BBQ in the traditional sense; it's more like Japanese teriyaki grilling. Don't get me wrong; it's still good. They offer generous portions for about $6-7 per person. When this place first opened, it was 45 minutes to an hour wait for your order. But the crowds have died down as the initial hype subsides and similar places begin to spring up in the Bay Area. Indoor seating could be a little tight with all the people in line; but they offer outdoor seating too. I recommend just grabbing take-out and having a nice picnic somewhere. ” lady chan (133) reviews 9/27/2005 Ono Hawaiian BBQ Cuisine: Hawaiian Barbecue Outer Sunset “ What a treat this place is for anyone who has spent some time in the islands...plate lunches at their best {and most caloric}the mixed combo had shrimp, mahi mahi and chicken on 2 big scoops of rice and accompanied with ...of course macaroni salad...You can help yourself to Katsu {spicy} and teriyaki sauce..the noodle soup was huge as was the salad but the salad was mostly iceberg lettuce.. we ate some of it at the outside tables in the plaza there, it was a really warm day {for a change}less than $20.00 for fast filing and fun meal..felt like we were eating a few memories with that feast. ” Rating: Positive Neutral Negative Reviewing tips below Review: First you must login to place a review Your comments contains 0 characters (1000) chars max You need to login to leave a review, login to the right or click the link below to sign-up now Review tips: Your reviews help others decide where to eat, please write as if you're telling a friend about this restaurant Please write fairly about the restaurant (don't include personal information about the owner or establishment).

Current commentary is now posted on the above blog Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. ----Lord Acton Power kills; absolute power kills absolutely. ----This Web Site Introduction It is true that democratic freedom is an engine of national and individual wealth and prosperity. Hardly known, however, is that freedom also saves millions of lives from famine, disease, war, collective violence, and democide (genocide and mass murder). That is, the more freedom, the greater the human security and the less the violence. Conversely, the more power governments have, the more human insecurity and violence. In short: to our realization that power impoverishes we must also add that power kills. Through theoretical analysis, historical case studies, empirical data, and quantitative analyses, this web site shows that: uote Freedom is a basic human right recognized by the United Nations and international treaties, and is the heart of social justice. Freedom is an engine of economic and human development, and scientific and technological advancement. Freedom ameliorates the problem of mass poverty. Free people do not suffer from and never have had famines, and by theory, should not. Freedom is therefore a solution to hunger and famine. Free people have the least internal violence, turmoil, and political instability. Free people have virtually no government genocide and mass murder, and for good theoretical reasons. Freedom is therefore a solution to genocide and mass murder; the only practical means of making sure that "Never again!" Free people do not make war on each other, and the greater the freedom within two nations, the less violence between them. Freedom is a method of nonviolence--the most peaceful nations are those whose people are free. The purpose of this web site, then, is to make as widely available as possible the theories, work, results, and data that empirically and historically, quantitatively and qualitatively, support these conclusions about freedom. This is to invite their use, replication, and critical evaluation, and thereby to advance our knowledge of and confidence in freedom--in liberal democracy. It is to foster freedom. Pray tell, my brother, Why do dictators kill and make war? Is it for glory; for things, for beliefs, for hatred, for power? Yes, but more, because they can. IMPORTANT NOTE: Among all the democide estimates appearing on this website,some have been revised upward. I have changed that for Mao's famine, 1958-1962, from zero to 38,000,000. And thus I have had to change the overall democide for the PRC (1928-1987) from 38,702,000 to 76,702,000. Details here. I have changed my estimate for colonial democide from 870,000 to an additional 50,000,000. Details here . Thus, the new world total: old total 1900-1999 = 174,000,000.New World total = 174,000,000 + 38,000,000 (new for China) + 50,000 (new for Colonies) = 262,000,000. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century.

Once the home of a thriving pineapple plantation, Lanai has reinvented itself as an alluring resort destination offering world-class golf courses and award-winning accommodations . In ancient times, Lanai was thought to be overrun with evil spirits. A young man named Kaululaau, the son of a Maui chief, was exiled to Lanai to explore the island and deem it free of such spirits to make Lanai suitable for settling. A major chapter in Lanais history was penned in 1922, when an enterprising businessman named James Dole purchased the island for $1.1 million. Dole started growing pineapple on his island, and soon canned pineapplea new concept at the timebecame a smash hit on the mainland. In time, tiny Lanai developed into the worlds largest exporter of this succulent fruit. At one point, the island was producing 75 percent of the worlds pineapple. For decades, Lanai was celebrated as Hawaiis flourishing "Pineapple Island." Thousands of acres were dedicated to pineapple, and people came from far and wide to work the fields. In the late 1980s, as the pineapple industry began to wane, Lanai turned to tourism. Two luxury resorts were built: the Lodge at Koele and the Manele Bay Hotel . Also added were a pair of championship golf courses: the Experience at Koele and the Challenge at Manele (designed by Ted Robinson and Jack Nicklaus, respectively). Besides golf, Lanai offers many things to do and see. Go for a swim at picturesque Hulopoe Beach. Snorkel the islands cliff-lined west coast. Explore the Garden of the Gods , an intriguing rock formation reminiscent of a lunar landscape. Hunt for treasures or examine historic petroglyphs at Shipwreck Beach . Admire local artwork at the Lanai Arts & Culture Center, a prominent showcase for community arts. You can even "lock and load" at Lanai Pine Sporting Clays , the only resort sporting clays course in the state.
