Here are members of the Export Revue, each holding the LITCHFIELD AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED An interesting feature of Thursday morning's program will be the presentation of 1938 Litchfield medals to the best salesman, the best store manager, the best production and engineering squadron graduates, the best Boy Scout among the five Goodyear troops, and the man making the best suggestion of the year. The Paul W. and. Florence B. Litchfield awards were set up in 1925 by the Service Pin As-sociation to stimulate effort and enterprise, and have been eagerly sought after. The first salesman to win an award was Eli Pound, in 1930. He joined the company in 1922, was later branch manager at Richmond, assistant branch manager'at Char-lotte, and is now manager at At-lanta. Later winners were L. J. Holroyd, who came to Goodyear in 1921, is now district manager at Des Moines; Ernest Moller, now in Petroleum Sales, Boston; A. E. Grundy, who went into export, is now sales manager in New Zea-land; A. F. Landefeld, now in charge of Pliofilm Sales; W.

There are two courses before any nation-either people are free to work for themselves and a reasonable hope of reward, or they give up their freedom to one man or a select group of men and work for whatever the government chooses to give them Happy! "Glad to be here," and uThe Home Coming is swellt" are the two expressions most commonly heard around Goodyear Hall these days.

Attempts to change this system, •6to make Democracy work," have prevented re-covery, caused wide-spread unemployment, created tre-mendous debt.

Reproduced in the Monday issue of the Clan, the picture typifies the spirit • of Home Coming. This wasn't merely a cor-poration meeting, a school, a lecture course, a review of product and sales technique. It went beyond that. It said: 66Welcome, Gang." It person-alized the assembly of world-wide Goodyear. The note was st.ruck again and again in the ad• e: lisintr depart-ment's presentation of the World:. Fair of Rubber on Goodyear Hall's fourth floor. Not millions of pieces of printed paper, bright in color, ' arresting in words, but again, men, Goodyear men, working. But perhaps nowhere was it bet-ter done than in the Export play of yesterday morning, when out of the pageant came one after an-other of the actual men who carry the banner of Goodyear overseas. No longer after this will Goodyear salesmen of the United States or Canada think of Export in terms of maps in various patterns and shades of color, of sales aiid per-sonnel totals. Walking ashore down the gang- , plank of an ocean liner in Lhe finale of the play came the men who head up the various distributing units overseas. Goodyear's prettiest girls, dressed in the quaint costumes of the countries represented, brought home the final necessary .touch of internationalism. Export was Steiner of Australia, in person; it was Hadley of Java, Croke of Argentina and Magennis of Brazili it was Bahr.of Columbia, Lees of Cuba-the procession grew more impressive with the seeming unending length of it, so convinc-ingly showed the breadth of Good-year. overseas.

Speaking on "The World of Bus-iness," Mr. Bloor gave a long list of statistics concerning the growth of Goodyear to the position it oc-cupies in world affairs today. "In reflecting on the dedicatory purposes of this Home Coming-namely, the one hundredth anniver-sary of the discovery of vulcaniza-tion of ru6ber by Charles Goodyear, the fiftieth aniversary of the in-vention of the pneumatic tire, and the fortieth anniversary of Good-year-- one cannot help but be thrilled and inspired in the progress that has been made over so short a span," said Mr.· Bloor. -• The statistician illustrated his talk with camera slides showing graphs and tables of figures illuss trating the growth of business here and abroad, government activities, the rapid expansion and almost uni-versal use of rubber and other sub- :.::... 324.

DeWitt, a native of Austria • who worked his way up in the hotel business from waiter and then to head waiter, stew-jard and eventually manager, knows the catering art from, 'A to Z. When the Mayflower Hotel • submitted the successful bid for feeding the Goodyear Home Com-ers, DeWitt assunned personal • charge of the job, assisted by Jack Walsh, genial manager of the · Mayflower. DeWitt started out by hiring 275 waiters, bus boys and kitchen helpers. The figures on the amount of food handled by this group runs Any of you Home Corners who want to meet a real character, just q' take a stroll over to the Buffalo sector and let out a yell for -."Sand 1 Trap Dan." He is none other than D. E. Randall, district manager, who should be old enough to know ' better than to spend half of his life digging away with a niblick in a sand trap. But he doesn't. In case no one answers to the name of "Sand Trap Dan," just listen for a guy who always says • ••you know what I mean,".*you ought to get yourself set," or "I don't like to keep talking about De-troit, but here's the way we did it in Detroit." Other dirt about Randall: He keeps eating less and less and get-ting fatter and fatter. (Some of the boys say it's the liquids.) Can't drive nails, fix fires dr shovel walks but can swing a fly swatter like Tilden Vines. Spent several • months getting new desk arranged in new office so that it Rat in just ' the right location. Then took over veterans' reunion in the South some years ago. Multiply the following figures by two and you have the total for one day-or two meals. Multiply the daily totals by four and you have the total amount of food con-sumed during the four-day cele-bration. DeWitt's figures for a single meal, at which an average of 2,100 persons are served, in addition to 1 the 275 hotel employes, are: One pound of meat per person, or ' 2,100 pounds. 1,000 heads of lettuce. 1,000 pounds of vegetables. 500 bunches of celery. 100 gallons of olives. 100 gallons of pickles. 400 pounds of butter. 4,000 rolls. 80 gallons of cream. 250 pounds of coffee. 125 pounds of sugar. 500 pounds of cake, or 400 pies. ' 275 gallons of water. 5,000 pounds of ice. The figures do not include the into the tons.

Well, maybe he hasn't done it yet, but even E. C. Schell himself admits that lie probably will *take his racket along the next time he goes hunting. There's a story be-hind the reason for that.

F'rinstance, you come via Al Cun-nington's lobby and turn right in to the General offices and you're I on the second floor. But if you turn left into the Factory office you're already up on the fourth floor, without climbing a step. The top floor of the building is called the fifth floor at one end the seventh at the other. This , doesn't prove that the I architects couldn't count. The two ' buildirigs were erected separately and finally connected up. , Factory office and factory proper similarly ' were connected up as the plant ex-panded.

The Goodyear dealer crip-pled one bird and it took refuge , behinci Markendorf ( probably mis-taking him for a bump on a log ). , The onlyway K. S. could shoot him was to put. the,gun between his legs and pull the trigger. He got the pheasant but only a part of him was left, the shot blowing off the head, neck and part of the breast. -1 */..

Defending chamt,ions were Ilob Gelston, Philadelphia store manager, and George Boenning, Conimercial salesniail. The new chatiipioris are Frank Leibfried, Caniden store manager, and C. •'G-TI:in" I>urvis, comniercial sales. The story as reported to The Clan is that the former champions talkeci a. fine game utitil they in-spired .1 challenge from the new champs. The result was seven sti•aig]it victories for the Purvis- Leibfried team. *** E. E. Redmond, who ranks as one of the best Commercial Sales-nien in the Richmond, Virginia, district, experienced his first Pull-man trip when he hopped the Richmond Special for Akron. *** Bedlam reigned during the serv-ing of 3Ionday's noon day meal as Denny Thompson's orchestra play-ed state and college songs. More than half of the 2,000 crowd either came from or are now working in •'Dixie," for the playing of that song brought approximately half of the crowd to its feet. *** The St. Louis delegation is won-dering whether Web Webber ex-pects an "accident". Seems that Web brought along three suits and other extras, and The Clan's spy declares half the delegation is car-rying some part of his luggage. *** Speaking about the St. Louis gang, they almost didn't get away from -their home town. George Hickey, genial office manager, locked all the tickets in the district office safe, Saturday neon, but was unable to open the safe on Sunday. The combined brain power of the district operating department, plus 34 U:nl,- 0.4...2..1-.A ... *6- --06 nally worked - the comblnation. Note: It is said Hickey's luck was of the same caliber during the en-tire trip to Akron. *** Ed Laskey, Harricbs. 6 district, caused all hr:.Ss no end of concern on Afonday morning by getting lost between the train and the bus that was to bring him out to the plant. All of the gang. was safely on board and the bus got under way before it was discovered that Ed was missing. The bus returned just in time to prevent Ed from taking a city bus headed in the wrong di-rection. E. E. '*Eli" Pound, Atlanta dis-trict Inanager, reports a near riot of mirth ensued enroute to Akron when it was discovered that husky, robust bI. C. McAlonan had out-fitted himself fbr the journey with several new items of personal ap-parel, including a pair of the new-est, highly decorated "jitterbug" underpants. Yes, you guessed it, "Mac's" new nicknanie is "Jitter-bug." *** H. W. Gifford, special represen-tative, Rielimond district, had more than passing interest in the deci-sion of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals ( Covington, Ky.) last week which ruled that the Federal Trade Commission had no cause to issue a cease and desist order against Goodyear in the famous mail order contract case. For several months Gifford was re-sponsible. for keeping track of traveling and other expenses in-curred in the company's defense against the commission's charges. *** Joe Basista (former W&J grid star ) and Al Griffin, both GLS, Philadelphia, designated them-selves as "house detectives" on the trip into Akron. After very care-fully turning out all the lights in their car, they discovered to their dismay they could not find the light switches in their own berths-drawing for themselves a lusty cheer of the Bronx variety. They were armed with toy cap pistols, which failed to function until they arrived in front of Goodyear bank when their fusilade caused momen-tary consternation among passers-by. *** Songs of the famous colleges by the orchestra during luncheon at noon on Monday, brought cheer after cheer, but the California delegation really outdid itself when --. - . ... up with a cheer that should have been heard clear ba:k in their be-loved "Dixie." *** Jerry Lohmann, service repre-sentative El Paso, had Goodyear calenders placed in every school room in the El Paso district, city, county and parochial. Then he asked his small daughter, Kate, to watch for their appearance in her room and let him know the reac-tion. Kate came home the other day, quite pleased. The teacher had sent the class to the encyclopedia, THE 'WINGFOOT CLAN BI•I•I•YEARHOMEFrr-,II .... had them all write essays on Charles Goodyear-then at recess the other kids took out after the son of a competitive store man-ager,- and beat him up. *** Bill Beckwith's East St. Louis pajamas are so loud that Irv Sley-ster and Bill Hibbeler went way under quota on sleep, Monday night. *** The St. Louis lads had been cas-ually informed by Rollie Maul-hardt that he '•sometimes" snored when sleeping on his back, but his room-mates, Dick Bolton and Griff Griffiths testify that Rollie is am-aUUUL Ulg JUI,11 1.,nanciac, Vi ../L*11.0. John had done a hitch in Export out in New Zealand, and it seems one night one of his dealers slapped him on the back, said, genially, "How's the old Yankee tonight." •I know what you mean," said Blakeney. *There's no offense. But if my old pappy from San Ant6nio ever comes out here don't make the mistake of calling him a Yankee. He'd shoot you." *** Several Home Corners had added a few pounds of weight since their last trip in, speculated as to what might be the reason. Lack of exer-cise, filet mignon, and calories -these were suggested as pos-sible causes. •'Had it ever occurred to you," suggested the philosophic H. S. Quackenbush of Sacramento, •that the matter of tearing too many sheets off the calendar might oc-casionally have something to do with it." GIDDY-APPI GIDDIAP 498. / -NAPOLEON . • , ,= -.111 If you want to know how King Henry VIII felt when Shakespeare had him cry those immortal lines, "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse," you need only ask A. B. Hill, Memphis district man-ager. Mr. Hill's hobbies are horse riding and he has a complete out-fit, even including a fine tooled leather English saddle. But does he have a horse ? Not a doggoned onel February 22, 1939 tidelights Larry Waite, Providence sales-man, was looking around for his old shipmate of the wartime air-ship Navy, Blimp Captain Karl Lange. But Karl was flying the •:Enterprise" 500 feet overhead, and Larry was on the ground, waiting-unobserved. *** Definitely favor-able was the impression on Home Corners by. General Chairman Ed-die Thomas. Quick on his feet Eddie had a phrase ready for any erner-a, nev lilrn whon +1,0 lightc i,n,lor of P. W. Litchfield in the Monday's play and was the "off stage voice" in yesterday's Export play, is a Chi-cago actor, a nephew of Paul Shoaff, manager of the Sumatra plantations *** Eddie Thomas' casual reference to the manager of Government Sales as "Silent" Jac-obs, drew many a chuckle from the audience. Recalling the time in the early days of radio when Jake was to be the third man in one of the early three-way hookup's attempt-ed-- between Cleveland Station WTAM, Jack Boettner flying up there in a blimp, with an antenna to release over the station, and Jake at his desk in Akron: But the blimp met head winds, and before contact could be established Jake had to carry on for an hour and three-quarters, without script or warn-ing, won the name among radio men of •Iron Man Jacobs." Jake ex-hausted the whole history of light-er- than-air and was just getting into heavier-than-air when he was finally relieved *** Sid Oxon of England tried on Yellowstone Chip's 20-gallon cowboy hat, knew it would make a big hit back home, is still hoping that he and Chip and a photographer may all be in one spot before Home Coming ends. E. J. Thomas was one of many who attempted but failed to catch Marcus, 61The Mad Magician" in one of his card tricks. Eddie dis-covered the card in his hand that he accused Marcus of holding. Dr. Millard Ill News reached Akron yesterday of the grave illness at Litchfield Park of · Dr. Jean S. Millard, vet-eran head of Goodyear hospitals. Born in New Bedf6rd, Mass., and educated at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Millard came to Akron in 1912 as the company's first fall-time doctor, started the plant hos-pital, has been a pioneer in indus-trial medicine.

I would look up pragmatism. Here's a post of mine on pragmatism with a few pointers/links at the beginning to some stuff by known pragmatists. Foundationalism doesn't have any foundation, and coherentism is incoherent. Pragmatism, on the other hand, is pragmatic itself. It says, 'use what works', and, by gosh, that just happens to work.
Unfortunately, typical intro texts on philosophy tend to spend little if any time covering pragmatism, possibly due to its being considered an 'American' philosophy, though that's pretty silly considering that its close cousin science has no national affiliation.
Pragmatism is not a structure of knowledge. It may be a strategy used within one or another of the belief structures, but by itself it does not answer the question of what our belief structures look like. Pragmatism says believe in what works, which is another way of saying that we use our experiences to verify our beliefs. But what justifies our beliefs in our experiences? If the answer is merely, as you put it, that we believe what we believe because it works, we have gone around in a vicious circle, in which whatever it is we have come to believe works justifies our beliefs which support our beliefs which led us to that conclusion in the first place. Rookie mistake. As it is, if we ground our beliefs in our experiences alone, then we believe that our experiences are a justifiable source of knowledge and this gives foundationalism its impetus. Of course, if one understands reason and experience to be distinct, then coherentism is plenty coherent. I agree with pragmatism in spirit, but when it comes to serious epistemology there is a reason why it is not discussed much in intro texts - it does not approach the deeper questions of justification of our belief structures.
It may be a strategy used within one or another of the belief structures
It is the only strategy available to bootstrap any belief system, including either foundationalism or coherentism.
by itself it does not answer the question of what our belief structures look like
Moving goal posts and/or straw man. There is nothing that, by itself, answers the question of what our belief structures look like. The question pragmatism answers is: How can we know anything at all?
which is another way of saying that we use our experiences to verify our beliefs.
Of course. What else could there be? Even foundationalists and coherentists must use their experiences to verify their beliefs. Everyone does this. It is no fault in pragmatism that it points out this basis.
But what justifies our beliefs in our experiences? If the answer is merely, as you put it, that we believe what we believe because it works, we have gone around in a vicious circle, in which whatever it is we have come to believe works justifies our beliefs which support our beliefs which led us to that conclusion in the first place. Rookie mistake.
Read the post I linked to. I clarify 'what works' as 'what makes the best predictions'. There is no vicious circle. It either works or it doesn't. You can clearly differentiate what works from what doesn't (our brains have this as an evolved innate ability), at least to an approximate degree, or else you wouldn't be able to function in this universe.
if we ground our beliefs in our experiences alone, then we believe that our experiences are a justifiable source of knowledge and this gives foundationalism its impetus.
Unfortunately, our experiences are not justifiable in the sense that foundationalists would wish them to be. They are only justifiable in a pragmatic sense. They are only justified to the extent that they are actually useful, i.e. actually make good, accurate predictions of the future. Foundationalists seek a stronger justification than that, and that is where they fail, because -- unless they acknowledge that they ultimately rely on pragmatic justification, just like everyone else -- then they do not have a foundationalist-level justification for their epistemological choice in (any) foundation.
Of course, if one understands reason and experience to be distinct, then coherentism is plenty coherent.
But they aren't. How could they be? Our sense of reason is a part of our experience. Without a way to detect the difference between 'reasonable' vs. 'not reasonable', we would be unable to reason at all. It is this sense of reason, which is an evolved innate ability of the brain, which is the ultimate basis for all human understanding. But we should only trust that sense to the extent that it actually is useful, i.e. makes good predictions.
This is the guiding 'force' or 'impetus' which gives rise to science out of superstition. It is ultimately a pragmatic basis. What actually works, vs. what we wish would work.
but when it comes to serious epistemology ... it does not approach the deeper questions of justification of our belief structures.
Sure it does. In fact it addresses the deepest level of the question of justification. Anyone, everyone, ultimately relies on a pragmatic justification for their beliefs. It is just that some people are better at finding what actually works than others, and so they are able to make more pragmatic choices. Science is the prime example of this.
What works = what makes the best predictions, this is a tautology.
No, it isn't.
Yes, you and I believe that our brains have evolved the ability to approximate the outside world, but this assumes that we know we have evolved and that there is an outside reality.
No, it doesn't assume either of those. Both of those beliefs are derived from pragmatism itself. Specifically, we have science to thank for the knowledge that our brains arose via evolution. That's an a posteriori fact, not a priori. Second, we believe the hypothesis that there's an outside world because this hypothesis best predicts our experiences (e.g. our experiences of interactions with what appear to be other minds). Again, this is a posteriori. First we experience, then we compare those experiences to the possible explanations. For example, in my interactions with you, the most useful hypothesis is that you are an actual other mind, and that we both share a common 'world' of phenomena between us, or otherwise our communication would be meaningless gibberish which could not make any predictions at all.
Of course, we both believe these to be true, but what grounds these beliefs?
Their abilities to make good predictions, of course.
Eventually we end up right back at our experiences. If it "works", that just means we have the experience that this is so. Either we end up going around in circles, or we begin with the belief that our experiences are foundational to our beliefs.
Of course our beliefs depend crucially on our experiences. How could it be otherwise? Having random beliefs?
But how do you distinguish between experiences which point towards truth and those which don't? We've all experienced such illusions, whether perceptual (optical illusions) or conceptual (delusions and confirmation bias).
The only way to distinguish is to evaluate them using our innate abilities. We have an innate sense of what is likely to happen, and future experiences either confirm or disconfirm those prior experiences (of perceived likelihood). The hypotheses which made the best predictions are the ones we naturally tend to prefer (though not perfectly, of course). This is the basis of all knowledge, and it is fundamentally a pragmatic enterprise.
This describes the basic, unconscious pragmatism that all people use every waking moment of their lives. The philosophical stance called 'pragmatism' just puts this process into words and turns it into a conscious process. Instead of blindly following our basic intuitions, we realize that even these intuitions can be mistaken, and there may be 'more true' hypotheses out there to be discovered. So we apply our innate pragmatism to our own beliefs and begin consciously investigating which ones are most true, and which ones are least true.
Of course it is self-referential, in the 'meta' sense. All epistemology is. This does not make it circular, because we can recognize that there is a root, basic assumption, namely the assumption of an innate ability to make pragmatic distinctions based on experience. However, this is an inescapable assumption. All epistemologies, whether they acknowledge it or not, rely on the assumption that our knowledge must ultimately rest on our experiences. Or else, we cannot have any knowledge at all. Even epistemological nihilists or skeptics rely on pragmatism to operate in day-to-day life, such as when crossing the street. Failure to acknowledge (at least subconsciously) the difference between knowledge that works vs. knowledge that doesn't, is, quite literally, fatal.
The problem with foundationalism is that it takes a core set of beliefs as an unjustified basis for everything else. But how do we choose this core set? Why pick set A over set B? Ultimately, it will come down to a personal judgment of whether A is 'better' than B or vice versa. This judgment will either be unconsciously pragmatic, or it will be consciously pragmatic. But no one can escape that this judgment is at basis pragmatic. It's just a question of whether one is aware of it or not.
So, the foundation for foundationalism, if there is such a foundation, is in fact pragmatism, whether conscious or unconscious.
Nobody said foundationalists (like myself) believe that our experiences are completely justifiable. However, they do seem to be the best we've got. Of course, you are right now jumping up shouting "aha, pragmatism!". Well, this is why I said I agree with pragmatism in spirit. I would be more than happy to incorporate pragmatism into my foundationalism, perhaps even as a first step.
It's not really a question of whether to incorporate or not. It is a fact that you must base your foundationalism in pragmatism, or else it will have no connection to reality. You will quickly discover the limits of such foundationalism.
Note that there are Christian foundationalists who try (and fail) to justify their beliefs in a Christian 'foundation', which, obviously, is not a very useful idea, though they believe it is. How can a foundationalist, such as yourself, argue against such Christian foundationalists? You can't. You have no way to determine whether your system A is better than their system B, unless you resort to arguments based in pragmatism.
And let's say that both you and the Christian foundationalists have 'incorporated' pragmatism into your respective foundational sets. But you still disagree, e.g. whether prayer works or not. The Christian says, "Prayer is 'useful' to me, and pragmatism is part of my foundation, so it is justified for me to believe in it." And you say, "But it's not 'useful' to me, and I don't believe it is 'useful' to you either, so I don't think it's justified for you to believe that (or at least, not for me to believe that)."
But this is just a stalemate! Foundationalism has nowhere to go from here. The only way to resolve the debate is to set up a test in the real world, and see if the prediction that prayer works actually works. And the only way to check that prediction is to compare our experiences of the test with our prior experiences of the predicted outcome.
When our experiences don't match what was expected if prayer had actually worked, we mark a notch in the 'prayer doesn't actually work' tally.
The Christian is just wrong when he claims that prayer 'works' for him. He's wrong because his predictions fail.
All conflicts between belief systems must be resolved in this way, if there is to be any resolution at all. It is not the idea that pragmatism is part of some foundational set of beliefs or not. It is that pragmatism is the only tool we have to even decide whether foundationalism is worthwhile or not. I don't actually have to believe in pragmatism to make this choice. It is an innate ability. It is a given. I didn't even have to assume it. I just have it, and so does everyone else.
It's not: "Assuming pragmatism is true, yadda yadda yadda." It's: "The idea of 'truth' at all only makes sense to the extent that I can actually distinguish between 'true' and 'not true'." It turns out that we do happen to have this ability. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. It got us this far. Let's become conscious of it so that we can apply it even more intelligently than our basic intuitions provide by themselves.
But this does not approach the question of the structure of our knowledge.
Before you can get to the 'structure of knowledge', the question remains: How can we know anything at all? That's the most basic question of epistemology.
Without first saying that our experiences are grounded in our experiences, pragmatism has no foothold, no basis in justification.
"Our experiences are grounded in our experiences"? Ummm, how could it even be otherwise? What else could they be grounded in? Without experiences, what have you got? How do you even know you exist? No epistemology can escape this problem.
We would be at the impasse described earlier, when one can appeal to faith, for example, then say that "it works", then justify their entire epistemology by continually resorting to justifying their beliefs on faith, despite overwhelming "evidence" to the contrary (while remaining perfectly consistent in their belief sets).
But does it actually work? Saying 'it works' doesn't magically make it work. Pragmatism doesn't say, "Use what you wish would work." It says, "Use what works." Faith does not actually work. Pragmatism is the only way to show that.
This is the reason why we need to begin with the structure of our justificatory systems.
What good is a 'justificatory system' if it leads to nonsense beliefs? How do you know whether justificatory system A is better than justificatory system B? What is the only way to tell the difference? I'll give you a hint: It starts with a 'p'. ;-)
Almost as good, a Psychology degree with a minor in Philosophy, then two Theology degrees one and M.Div, the other an M.Th. in Old Testament Biblical Studies. While not unemployed I'm not employed in any area even remotely related to any of the degrees I have, I'm in IT working for a large financial instituation.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've also had Blackburn recommended to me for an introduction.

Thank for sending us your question today, Maura!
When making check deposits with a Teller, the first $100 is usually made available immediately. If you are a new account holder and your account has not been open for 30 consecutive days, check deposits can be held for 7-10 business days for verification purposes. After this grace period, not only will the first $100 be made available at the time of deposit but the rest of the funds will credit to your account the following business day.
Deposits made at a TD Bank ATM before 8:00 PM on a business day are considered deposits made on that same business day. A business day is every day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit at an ATM before 8:00 PM on a business day that we are open, we will consider that to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit at an ATM after 8:00 PM, or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day. Accounts that are 90 days old will have the initial $100 made available and generally see availability of funds the next business day.
Deposits made with TD Mobile Deposit act the same way as a deposit made with a TD ATM; however, the first $100 of your check will not be available at the time of deposit.
You may also take a look at our Personal Deposit Account Agreement here: http://bit.ly/1kb17UQ. On pages 38-41, you can find our Funds Availability Policy along with information about when you'll have access to deposits.
If you have any questions or concerns about your deposit, we ask that you contact us directly 24/7 at 888-751-9000 or during lobby hours at a TD Store near you to speak with a Representative. For lobby hours and locations near you please visit http://bit.ly/TDStores.
We hope this information is helpful, Maura. Have a great day.

Thank you for joining our conversation here, Jo.
When you deposit a money order, it will be treated the same as check deposits.

Fixing nadir parallax errors
Here is a set of source photos for a spherical panorama:
They were taken using a one second exposure without a tripod, the camera was stabilised by jamming it against the sides of a palm tree. This means that they don't stitch easily because of the large (approximately 60cm) parallax error:
Particularly, the nadir doesn't work at all. This is an extreme version of the usual problems caused by failing to rotate the camera around the No-parallax point:
However the nadir can be stitched by taking advantage of another technique generally used for stitching a linear panorama. The way this works is that if you assume the ground forms a plane just like a mural on a wall; a series of rectilinear Projection images taken from different locations can be assembled by optimising roll, pitch & yaw, Field of View and d & e lens correction parameters separately for each image.
So the first step is to create a series of defished rectilinear images from the fisheye Projection originals. You can do this in any of the GUI front-ends, but you do need to calibrate your lens first:
These can then be stitched together into a single nadir image with minimal errors, in this case I chose a fisheye projection, though a rectilinear or equirectangular projection would work just as well:
This image can then be reinserted into the original panorama project as another source photo with a different lens and stitched as normal. Here is the result as a QTVR, the buildings in the distance are a bit wobbly, but this could have been corrected with vertical control points:
<pano file="Npx-corrected.mov" width="600" height="450" scale="tofit" controller="true" cache="true" />
This scene is of the Abu Dhabi corniche, 30th November 2006. The buildings are decorated in preparation for UAE national day.
