Did you know that you can check your email from any computer?

That's if you have WebMail.

What's the difference between POP email and WebMail, you ask?

POP email works best for people who use a single computer all the time. When using POP mail, messages are delivered to a central server and the server uses a mail "client" program (Eudora, Outlook, Mac Mail) that connects to the server and downloads all of the pending mail to the users own machine.

WebMail offers complete access to your mail without any mail being downloaded to your computer.  You access your mail with a web browser. Since your mail is never downloaded to a computer, the method is ideal for use on public computers. It is convenient for someone who seldom uses the same computer to access mail.

Many people on -the-go use both options. To find out more about accessing your email using WebMail, contact The Market Place.

America's Heartland
Agriculture Showcased on Popular Television Show

America's Heartland begins its second season celebrating our nation's agriculture with all new stories captured from locations throughout the U.S. As before, the series profiles the places and processes of today's agribusiness in all its forms. And, as before, the program will focus on the many and diverse people who love the land and make it their living and their home.

The producers believe the quality of the storytelling and the great variety of subjects is what has made the show so popular. In season 2, they plan to capture the lives of a Wyoming cattle ranching family to a solitary yak farmer; from watermelon growers in New Mexico to Florida family farms raising alligators and tropical fish. Urban families can learn more about how big farms undertake the major tasks of planting, nurturing and harvesting their crops; or the small farmer seeking new and innovative ways to survive and succeed in an increasingly competitive ag marketplace. -an excerpt from www.heartland.org

Ellen Chandler A Fresh Face in Jazz Music
Ellen Chandler, 20, is taking the world by storm with her soulful voice and powerful stage presence.
   As the daughter of a strawberry breeder and a botanist, Ellen has roots in agriculture, but has chosen to pursue a more musical carreer.
   At a young age, her parents instilled in her a love for both nature and jazz music.
   "My dad was always playing jazz in the house and the car." Ellen said.
   "I remember how it made me feel so free to dance around the house and listen to those soulful women sing."
   Ellen will be making her public debut at the Orange Blossom Opry in Weirsdale, FL on March 8. Other tour dates to come this summer. She will be recording her first demo album on March 7th.
   Ellen is also the sister of the newest employee of the The Market Place, Julie Bedford. We, at the TMP, are so proud!
