Platinum Mosquito Protection. Being outdoors is what Florida life is all about - outdoor entertaining, barbeques, swim parties and playing in the yard. The most menacing thing that prevents us from enjoying the great outdoors are those pesky Biting Insects! Platinum mosquito protection provides a virtually invisible misting system, professionally installed on your home or your outdoor entertainment area. The system releases timed mists of a natural Pyrethrum-based insecticide that repels and kills annoying insects. Run, play and entertain with confidence.

Key Biscayne Magazine's April Business Issue. Take a look around you in Key Biscayne and you will come across many success stories. To me, real success is having a balance in all aspects of your life. Many people become wealthy but few in my eyes are successful.
Is it possible to be a great businessperson and without losing your integrity along the way? I posed this question to Ed Easton, the subject of this month's cover story. Find out his response and his secret to success in my interview with him.
Most successful businesspeople have one thing in common: relentless drive and a sense of purpose. As Paulo Coelho says in The Alchemist: "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
