Woodrow Wilson As I Know Him
Tumulty, Joseph P.
Woodrow Wilson prefers not to be written about. His enemies may, and of course will, say what they please, but he would like to have his friends hold their peace. He seems to think and feel that if he himself can keep silent while his foes are talking, his friends should be equally stoical. He made this plain in October, 1920, when he learned that I had slipped away from my office at the White House one night shortly before the election and made a speech about him in a little Maryland town, Bethesda. He did not read the speech, I am sure he has never read it, but the fact that I had made any sort of speech about him, displeased him. That was one of the few times in my long association with him that I found him distinctly cold. He said nothing, but his silence was vocal.
I suspect this book will share the fate of the Bethesda speech, will not be read by Mr. Wilson. If this seems strange to those who do not know him personally, I can only say that "Woodrow Wilson is made that way." He cannot dramatize himself and shrinks from attempts of others to dramatize him. "I will not write about myself," is his invariable retort to friends who urge him to publish his own story of the Paris Peace Conference. He craves the silence from others which he imposes upon himself. He is quite willing to leave the assessment and interpretation of himself to time and posterity. Knowing all this I have not consulted him about this book. Yet I have felt that the book should be written, because I am anxious that his contemporaries should know him as I have known him, not only as an individual but also as the advocate of a set of great ideas and as the leader of great movements. If I can picture him, even imperfectly, as I have found him to be, both in himself and in his relationship to important events, I must believe that the portrait will correct some curious misapprehensions about him.
For instance, there is a prevalent idea, an innocently ignorant opinion in some quarters, an all too sedulously cultivated report in other quarters, that he has been uniformly headstrong, impatient of advice, his mind hermetically closed to counsel from others. This book will expose the error of that opinion; will show how, in his own words, his mind was "open and to let," how he welcomed suggestions and criticism. Indeed I fear that unless the reader ponders carefully what I have written he may glean the opposite idea, that sometimes the President had to be prodded to action, and that I represent myself as the chief prodder.
The superficial reader may find countenance lent to this latter view in the many notes of information and advice which I addressed to the President and in the record of his subsequent actions which were more or less in accord with the counsel contained in some of these notes. If the reader deduces from this the conclusion that I was the instigator of some of the President's important policies, he will misinterpret the facts and the President's character and mental processes; if he concludes that I am trying to represent myself as the instigator he will misunderstand my motives in publishing these notes.
These motives are: first, to tell the story of my association with Mr. Wilson, and part of the record is contained in these notes; secondly, to show what liberty he allowed me to suggest and criticize; how, so far from being offended, he welcomed counsel. Having this privilege I exercised it. I conceived it as part of my duty as his secretary and friend to report to him my own interpretations of facts and public opinion as I gathered these from newspapers and conversations, and sometimes to suggest modes of action. These notes were memoranda for my chief's consideration.
The reader will see how frankly critical some of these notes are. The mere fact that the President permitted me to continue to write to him in a vein of candour that was frequently brusque and blunt, is the conclusive answer to the charge that he resented criticism.
Contrary to the misrepresentations, he had from time to time many advisers. In most instances, I do not possess written reports of what others said orally and in writing, and therefore in this record, which is essentially concerned with my own official and personal relations with him, I may seem to represent myself as a preponderating influence. This is neither the fact nor my intention. The public acts of Mr. Wilson were frequently mosaics, made up of his own ideas and those of others. My written notes were merely stones offered for the mosaic. Sometimes the stones were rejected, sometimes accepted and shaped by the master builder into the pattern.
It was a habit of Mr. Wilson's to meditate before taking action, to listen to advice without comment, frequently without indicating whether or not the idea broached by others had already occurred to him. We who knew him best knew that often the idea had occurred to him and had been thought out more lucidly than any adviser could state it. But he would test his own views by the touchstone of other minds' reactions to the situations and problems which he was facing and would get the "slant" of other minds.
He was always ahead of us all in his thinking. An admirer once said: "You could shut him up in an hermetically sealed room and trust him to reach the right decision," but as a matter of fact he did not work that way. He sought counsel and considered it and acted on it or dismissed it according to his best judgment, for the responsibility for the final action was his, and he was boldly prepared to accept that responsibility and conscientiously careful not to abuse it by acting rashly. While he would on occasion make momentous decisions quickly and decisively, the habitual character of his mind was deliberative. He wanted all the facts and so far as possible the contingencies. Younger men like myself could counsel immediate and drastic action, but even while we were advising we knew that he would, without haste and without waste, calmly calculate his course. What, coming from us, were merely words, would, coming from him, constitute acts and a nation's destiny. He regarded himself as the "trustee of the people," who should not act until he was sure he was right and should then act with the decision and finality of fate itself.
Of another misapprehension, namely, that Mr. Wilson lacks human warmth, I shall let the book speak without much prefatory comment. I have done my work ill indeed if there does not emerge from the pages a human-hearted man, a man whose passion it was to serve mankind. In his daily intercourse with individuals he showed uniform consideration, at times deep tenderness, though he did not have in his possession the little bag of tricks which some politicians use so effectively: he did not clap men on their backs, call them by their first names, and profess to each individual he met that of all the men in the world this was the man whom he most yearned to see. Perhaps he was too sincere for that; perhaps by nature too reserved; but I am convinced that he who reads this book will feel that he has met a man whose public career was governed not merely by a great brain, but also by a great heart. I did not invent this character. I observed him for eleven years.

I wondering what sites/places I could go to, to find a used CTS in Ontario and not have to go through a dealer? Thanks for any suggestions/ideas.
Your best bet is to look at the private seller listings on www.autotrader.ca
Might find a few on www.kijiji.ca too.
Good luck!

What Jon said. Auto trader has a bunch on there. They tell you which ones are dealer one and what ones are private sales.
Doug Vanderhaar
I have a used 2003 CTS that we might sell, it`s Diamond White exterior , beige interior with factory wood accents- steering wheel ,doors panels, shifter knob- its the top of the line Sport Package. Listed just under $60,000 in 2003. Ya they have come down in price along with our DOLLAR RISE.
It has every option but Navigation that you could order. VERY VERY clean condition always stored inside heated garage. This is the first year we have driven it in the winter as we are normaly gone most of the winter RVing. It was the dealer demo- manager car at London Hummer Cadillac till my wife bought it in 2005.
About 95,000 km. New tires last month Kumho 235/55/17
Only issue has been with the ocassional intermitant failure of day time running lights. <STARTED IN DECEMBER see my old post> We use the fog lights all the time so this isn`t a issue. < when fog lights are actived all the lights come on including the rear lights which makes the car stand out even more.
Also an issue with the thermostat sender causing check engine light, we replaced the thermostat and again same result. Turns out the wiring harness is to close to the engine manifold, they opened up the harness and seperated the wires and now this issue happens intermittantly. I guess we didn`t have to spend $400 + to replace a perfectly good Thermostat.
Sorry I don`t have any pictures of the car by it self, but this one in the garage will give you a start. If your interested we can get more pictures and e mail or phone you, just send a PM. NO I don`t have a price in mind as I havn`t thought about it, but the wife realy lights the 2008 since we test drove one last week! I am sure that if you are serious we can make a deal!!
JUST CLICK on the picture to make it larger.

A German magazine aimed at gay women has launched with a provocative new advert appearing to show Angela Merkel in a lesbian relationship.
The short clip, promoted on Twitter and swiftly picked up by German newspapers, features an actress bearing a strong resemblance to the country's leader looking out of a window before being joined by a younger woman.
As 'Merkel' looks out of her window a radio reports that 62 per cent of Germans are in favour of gay marriage – but the actress playing Ms Merkel simply shakes her head before the younger woman kisses her.
Ganz Europa hasst Merkel? Ja, bis auf diese Frau... http://t.co/kWwwe0h6SU #JippieJayGay #LoveWins #Homoehe https://t.co/MXeKh27ZZT
— STRAIGHT magazine (@STRAIGHT) July 16, 2015
Straight! Magazine's tweet was accompanied by the caption: "Everyone in Europe hates Merkel? Apart from this woman..."
It comes just a week after Ms Merkel insisted that marriage should only be between a man and woman – much to civil rights campaigners' chagrin.
Ms Merkel, a committed Christian who has been married twice, told YouTube personality Florian Mundt (better known as LeFloid) that "For me, personally, marriage is a man and a woman living together."
The chancellor went on to say that she remained committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination and that she was a committed proponent of registered civil partnerships.

Instant Karma: Gallon-Smasher Smashed By His Milk [VIDEO]
You've probably heard of "gallon-smashing", a ridiculously stupid and wasteful stunt where you pretend to slip and smash gallons of milk on the floor. One of these morons got a big taste of karma.
He throws down his gallons, but slips on the spilled milk and cracks his jaw!
As someone from the peanut gallery says, if he'd just drunk the milk instead he wouldn't have slipped; but if he HAD slipped, his bones might've been strong enough to avoid being broken!

Justin Danfelt, a 29 year old male from Mechanicsburg was transported to Harrisburg Hospital following an early morning crash that knocked out power to thousands of west shore residents and businesses.
The Fairview Township Police Department was dispatched at 4:15 Saturday morning to the 900 block of Limekiln Road for a report of a transformer fire that knocked out electricity in the area. Upon arrival, it was discovered that the cause of the electricity outage was a single vehicle crash. A westbound vehicle had crossed the oncoming lane of travel and left the road surface. Upon doing so it traveled through a utility pole, a mailbox and a fence before coming to rest. The utility pole was completely sheered off at the ground and the damage resulted in a massive power outage affecting thousands of people in both York and Cumberland Counties.
Danfelt was found to be the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle. He was transported by ambulance to Harrisburg Hospital for treatment.
Charges are pending the completion of the crash investigation.

I also love that the day after Thanksgiving involves picking out a Christmas tree and decorating it. Because Christmas time, in my humble opinion, is truly the most wonderful time of the year. I love everything about it. This year, my sister even decided to give her boyfriend his Christmas present early, so we could enjoy it together for the entire month of December (Wii with the new Super Mario Brothers game). Hash (her boyfriend) might or might not have uttered the words "You must be joking me! This is the best present ever! What girlfriend gives her boyfriend video games?! This is amazing!" It was sweet. And yes, he's somewhere around the age of 22 or so, but it was still sweet. (Ok enough hazing the boyfriend on the blog, poor guy isn't even a part of the family).
Who, me? Like I would ever be fussy and ruin a perfectly good Thanksgiving meal.

Mom Accused of Swinging Baby As Weapon
ERIE, Pa. (AP) -- A woman used her 4-week-old baby as a weapon in a domestic dispute, swinging the infant through the air and striking her boyfriend with the child, authorities said.
The boy was in serious but stable condition Monday at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, police said.
"Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this," District Attorney Bradley Foulk told the Erie Times-News.
Chytoria Graham, 27, of Erie, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault. She was held Monday in the Erie County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bail.
The infant, whose name was not released, suffered a fractured skull and some bleeding in the brain, authorities said.
His head hit Graham's boyfriend, the baby's father, Police Lt. Dan Spizarny said.
Authorities removed four other children from Graham's home and placed them with the Erie County Office of Children and Youth, Foulk said.

I keep seeing references to level 1, level 2, level 3 modded vehicles, but have no idea what that means? Tried searching forums to no avail. Just purchased 04 STI and want to find some simple mods to boost HP by about 20-30. Going to start with intake/outtake but wondering what the levels are and what types of mods are in each.
Any help/comments are appreciated.

It's been 15 years since California adopted a new set of science standards for students from kindergarten through high school. Since then scientists have mapped out the human genome, documented the impact of climate change and landed a rover on Mars. But some kids say their science classes are stuck in the past.
"I feel like we learn mostly out of textbook so it's not interesting to any of us," says Karina Thompson, who will be a high school freshman in San Francisco this fall. "The information just goes by us. But if we do a lab or do some hands-on activity … we all enjoy it a lot more."
Thompson was one of scores of kids, teens and adults at the San Francisco Exploratorium this week. The cutting-edge science museum is part playhouse and part learning lab with more than 600 mostly hands-on exhibits. California's public schools could get a lot more hands-on as well, under a new set of academic requirements called Next Generation Science Standards.
"One of the really exciting aspects of Next Generation Standards is, potentially, we could see a renaissance in science education," said Douglas Spalding, a physics and chemistry teacher at East Bay Arts High School in Hayward.
He and a dozen other science teachers are spending part of their summer at the Exploratorium's Teacher Institute. One of their goals is to experiment with the new standards. The teachers say that for years the federal education law known as No Child Left Behind has emphasized reading and math proficiency, prompting many schools to drop science instruction and lab work altogether.
"We've seen lab work disappear from our classrooms, and it's almost like we've been given permission to do lab work." Spalding said. "The science courses of old were like 'learn the history of science' and now we're saying 'do the work of science.' "
Under the new requirements, teachers and students would cover less material. Instead, they'd go more in-depth on topics such as climate change, biological evolution and engineering design. Students, in turn, would plan and carry out investigations, conduct experiments and build models.
Tammy Cook-Endres, a teacher and coordinator at the Exploratorium's Teacher Institute, said the new standards would mean more work for educators but the lessons would be more engaging for students.
"This is really hard to do. These [standards] are ambitious … and we're going to need to support teachers … and I think that is why we're starting to have these conversations." Cook-Endres said.
California is not alone. Twenty-five other states are also making the switch. National test scores show students across the country are performing poorly in science and math. That's bad news for California, considering a large part of the state's economy is based on science, technology and engineering.
For their part, the teachers who are training here at the Exploratorium say they are eager to get a firm grasp of the new standards so they can mentor their fellow educators. One way they're doing that is by taking on the kind of activities their students would do in the classroom.
One lab activity required teachers to mix salt, baking soda and water in a plastic baggy to show how a chemical reaction involving two solid materials can produce a gas. The teachers busily filled out a report documenting the process. The result was a kind of mini-research paper that students will have to produce with almost every activity they do.
Ariel Owens teaches earth and life sciences in Walnut Creek. She said students will have to think more critically, but they learn best when they see something, feel it and hear it.
"I think the engineering standards demonstrate that not only is (engineering) not too hard to do, it's fascinating. It's the best part of science … that's the heart of it." Owens said.
But not everyone is as enthusiastic.
Some education policy experts say the new standards omit important core science content. There are also questions about how much more districts will have to spend to implement the new standards, how many teachers will embrace the change, and what the curriculum and tests will ultimately look like.
Teachers across California, however, say this is one experiment they're willing to take on.
If, as expected, the state Board of Education approves the Next Generation Science Standards at their meeting, the standards would take effect in 2015.
Over the next two years, 20,000 California public school teachers annually will receive free admissions to the Exploratorium in San Francisco. The program runs July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014 and July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015 with a total of 40,000 teachers to receive free admissions. To receive the free tickets, teachers need to register online at http://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/teachers.

July 22, 2009Princeton, NJ (RPRN) 7/22/2009 -- According to a recent paper published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiological Infectious Diseases, a certain kind of honey can be an effective agent in topical wound care, particularly where antibiotic resistance is an issue. The irony is that this most exciting new treatment has been around since the dawn of history—honey was first used as a first aid treatment four thousand years ago in Ancient Egypt.

This beautiful dog was a favourite. She appears to be a Lab/Plott Hound/Border Collie x and is the dog in the primary photo. She's a couple years old and around 40 lbs. She is the sweetest little girl and was so hard to part with, although she went to an awesome home. Her only drawback was her pulling and some leash aggression towards other dogs, but she behaved wonderfully with Ollie and with dogs she got to meet rather than see from a distance. I believe both of these have been curbed now. She was found under a bridge in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and adopted a litter of puppies. After being rescued by a kill shelter, she was pulled and brought up to Canada to Pawsitive Match Rescue. She was in another foster home for 4 months, before coming to us. She stayed with us for 6 weeks and had many apps by the end of that. She was adopted to a wonderful couple and is doing great.
Name- Valentina (Tina)
Previous name- Negro
This little girl we think is a Schnauzer/Poodle/Bichon x, she is the 2nd dog down (including primary picture). She's a couple years old and very sweet. She's our 2nd foster who we had from December 4th-22nd I think. Very cute and odd looking girl who's very playful. Don't know anything about her past unfortunately. She got a great home with 2 cats and 2 young grandkids who visit often as well a couple long walks a day.
Name- Graciana (Graci)
Previous name- Maggie Mae
Love this dog! Probably a Manchester Terrier x and we had her when she was 3 months old, now she's over a year old. So well behaved and very smart, 3rd picture down. Learned to ring the bell to go outside without any training other than Ollie doing it. Did a cute high five staring at her paw when she did it. Her favourite toy is a fluffy, squeeky, pink barbie purse, went home with her and was still there when we visited her. She was found with her brother, Rusty, a little light brown pup. They were found in a Mexican golf course, covered in fleas and ticks and starving to death, are now loved members of their families. Maya was so shy and fear aggressive towards other dogs. We had her for 6 weeks and she improved greatly during that. When we first got her, she would pull to the end of her leash, yelping madly and almost flipping over trying to get away, the day we sent her home, she ran beside a stange dog at a dog park before veering off to come back to us. Is now in a loving home with 2 cats and her dad.
Name- Chica
Previous name- Maya
What can I say except insanity? This dog competes with Border Collies in energy level! I think she's a Cairn Terrier/Dachshund x, Cairn Terrier look, Dachshund body, she's the 4th picture down. She always was trying to chase our feet down the stairs and do crazy stuff like that. Very sweet and loyal, but we were relieved to see her go home after 6 weeks as we were quite worn out. However, that adopted didn't work out. After the 2 week trial period, she was returned and was a different dog. I wonder what happened to her. Was it abuse? Was it just the Westie there irratating her so much? We weren't able to take her back as we had a different foster, but what I have heard is awful. She was shaking badly when picked up at their house and was supposedly possessive of bones. I met her adoptive family at the Pet Expo this year and they told me she was kicked out of obedience class because she's so dog aggressive, so needs a private trainer. This totally outgoing little girl who never showed any sign of aggression other than playfighting with other dogs kicked out of obedience class due to aggression?! Her adopters were so surprised to hear that she used to be so awesome with dogs. Even with this sad news, there is good news in the adoption, she is the love of her mom's life and has settled down a little bit after a few months.
Name- Ginny
Previous name- Lluvia
This little guy is a Cocker Spaniel/Poodle/Maltese x and is in the 5th picture. Very hyper, but not near as hyper as Ginny. He's supposed to be 4 years old (now 5), but he looks and acts much younger, so I'm guessing he's more around 2 now. We fostered him with Haven/Trivi, the Pit Bull x pup in the picture with him as Trivi was flying up and had no foster. He went to the Humane Society of Cabo San Lucas as his person died. From Mexico he came up to Canada to escape the kill shelter. He's very sweet and was in a foster for over a month before he came to us for a couple weeks, then found his family. He now has a Shih Tzu x rescue brother and a wonderful couple for parents.

The Best & Worst Deals at Trader Joe's (Page 2)
What to Skip: Produce
A pet peeve many people mention is the lack of fresh, local produce. "To be honest, the produce is not the best," says Brooks. "It definitely leaves a lot to be desired." I confess that I like to buy fresh and local whenever I can and Trader Joe's cellophane-wrapped peppers and other produce don't often inspire me. But to keep an open mind, I went to a Trader Joe's and picked up a bundle of unwrapped asparagus.
In this Connecticut store, rather anemic-looking spears were selling for $4.39 a pound, whereas the larger market down the street featured healthier-looking asparagus at $3.79 a pound or less.
But not all deals are duds in the produce section; you just have to pick the right ones. Trader Joe's is known for buying in bulk and produce that ships well seems to fare better here. Hass avocados were bundled in a bag of four for $3.29. That seemed worth it, especially when a nearby supermarket was selling four for $5. Granted, the Trader Joe's avocados were small and hard but after I let them ripen for a day, they were delicious. I found similarly good deals and quality on sturdy produce like clementines and bananas too.

Waqar Ahmad Sheikh
Waqar Ahmad Sheikh is a graduate of the PEPM Class of 2010. He is currently working as a Consultant in Private Sector Development at the World Bank in Islamabad.
How did PEPM and your internship help you?
Undoubtedly IMF was a great experience. In fact, it is a must for all PEPM students to make their best effort to get a work opportunity at IMF/World Bank. My advice is to go "beyond their personal networking, don't underestimate PEPM and especially David's extended linkages with these institutions".
What was your experience like working and being a PEPM Student?
"Working at IMF/World Bank is the best use of one year of professional and academic training at PEPM and build its linkages to real world economics. For PEPM students it isan extraordinary opportunity which other SIPA students have a very limited access. It is a real multilateral experience in terms of cultural and professional management. At IMF, I got acquainted with an extraordinary and challenging academic environment to learn from peers and develop ideas on shared thinking. It is worth mention that IMF provided an access to unparalleled academic training programs led by renowned scholars like Prof. Acemogulo (MIT), Prof Xavier Sala martin (Columbia), Alan Abarch (UC, Berkeley), Robert Barro (Harvard), Prof. Ragu Rajan (Chicago) and many others in a short period of 3 months. Finally, IMF provided me a platform to network around especially with The World Bank staff which resulted into an extraordinary opportunity to work with the World Bank in Islamabad."Guys you must go for it !
UPDATE: As of 2014, Waqar is working as the Head of Corporate Affairs at Nestlé in Lahore, Pakistan, where he provides leadership, technical advisory, strategic thinking and management support for coordination and consolidation of corporate affairs activities with both internal and external stakeholders.

One of the underappreciated charms of the Grand Theft Auto series is the care that Rockstar lavishes on the satirical in-game products, most of which are advertised on billboards and signs throughout its realistic virtual cities.
Most of them are funny, some are insightful, a handful are not safe for work. (The mousepad I'm using right now is a promo item based on Grand Theft Auto IV's chain of internet cafes, which are named "tw@.")
Rockstar released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V on Wednesday, and brief as it may be, the video's Los Angeles-style city is filled with early glimpses at the parody brands that populate the upcoming game. Here's what we caught.
Pump Buddy Magazine
Slogan: "Plenty of issues to work out!" The "pump buddy" in question may not just be an exercise pal.
Mile High Club
This up-and-coming skyscraper brought to you by STD Contractors.
Up-n-Atom Burgers
Slogan: "When it pings, eat like kings!" Absolutely definitely has nothing at all to do with California's famous In-N-Out Burger, I'm sure.
Liquor Ace
But I hardly even know her!
Pump & Run Gymnasium
When there's no choice but to pump and run.
E Cola
Slogan: "Deliciously Infectious!" Now with 100% more escherichia coli.
Bugstars Pest Control
Slogan: "Putting the FU in Fumigate!" Caveat emptor: May be a front for armed gangsters looking to break into your house.
24-7 Supermarket
Not Seven-Eleven, of course. Why would you think that?
When things need to get smashed.
Vapid Automobiles
My car makes a statement about me, and that statement is I'm dumb.

Probably would be easier / more cost effective to just buy the jeans pictured.
This is a discussion on Is modifying pants pockets possible? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I am about to buy a Walther PPS for a pocket gun and I'm wondering if I can have my front jean pocket openings modified ...
I am about to buy a Walther PPS for a pocket gun and I'm wondering if I can have my front jean pocket openings modified to look like these:
These particular EOTAC pants have front pocket openings around 7 inches, I have the normal everyday jeans that have freakishly small pockets (4-5 inches?) (or at least that's what I think)
I am also trying to have the pocket interior enlarged with ripstop fabric so that the pocket comes down to around 3-3.5 inches above the patella of the knee...
For any of you that have had custom tailoring work done for CC, what was your experience?
Medical College of Virginia School of Medicine Class of 2013
Probably would be easier / more cost effective to just buy the jeans pictured.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
Whoops, the edit time limit passed...
can the tailor make the modifications without having to cannibalize another pair of pants/fabric?
I hate to say this but I have to be blunt, money is no object in this case but it doesn't hurt to save a little here and there...
Medical College of Virginia School of Medicine Class of 2013
Tailor work can be quite inexpensive if you find the right place.
My GLOCK goes BANG every time!
However "scooping out the front of the pants to make the pocket opening deeper and wider can be done, but it would require both a new(deeper) pocket lining or "pocket bag". Removing the material at the front of the pocket opening isn't at all difficult, but the front side panel might need to be recut from additional fabric to cover the area where the pants front was cut to deepen the pocket opening. As far a a pocket lining, just about any fabric can be used , most commonly they are made from something lightweight and inexpensive, usually muslin, ripstop nylon would be a good substitute but at additional expense. Many brand of pants use small pocket linings made of inexpensive material to cut down on production costs.
Today's sewing lesson is now concluded.

Any half decent seamstress should be able to cut out the bottom of a jeans pocket and sew in some basic white cotton cloth, to lengthen the pocket. I have seen a few on here do it, and shouldnt cost you too much.

Thats why I love my Carharts, deep pockets and they last forever!!! And they don't support gun control like the Levi's does......
Pocket lengthening and reinforcing is easy and inexpensive, and highly recommended for pocket carry. As for the opening, have them slit the edge and hem it down the side seam about an inch or two and put a small snap at the corner. Put one on the other corner to match (some jeans have rivets there) or have the other pocket done as well. This gives you a wider access point without having to add material. The snap should be able to easily be unsnapped with your wrist as you draw.

This is kind of an odd one, but if you're looking for a good, inexpensive tailor, I've used Yelp for that exact purpose before. It's a public review site, where anyone can review and post info about places of business. Don't know if your area has a lot of reviews, so it may or may not be helpful, but I figured it's worth a shot.
I've used it to find out which gun stores to visit while on vacation before, too!
As other mentioned, making the pocket itself is very easy.
Increasing the pocket opening like that would be difficult. You might be better off widening the pocket then trying to seal it back up with velcro. Extending the pocket itself looks like it would require adding material (which means finding a really close match, or buying two pairs and cutting up one for materials). Velcro would let you keep the look of the pants the same (so no need to refinish edges) and try to hide all of the work.
Sounds like good advice above for the pocket mouth. But regarding the pocket lining, replacing the cheap muslin is a good idea. I had a pistol barrel wear a hole in the bottom of a pocket once. It was actually a good thing, as:
- It kept the pocket lint away (well, down in my sock, perhaps);
- It kept me from putting anything else in that pocket; and
- It allowed the weapon to ride lower in the pocket (the barrel stuck through the hole).
So while mine was accidental, you may be well-served with a deeper pocket. You might also consider shaping it for the weapon, so as to maintain a consistent orientation for the grip (you know, narrower and longer at the front to take the barrel).

How many Jeans and/or Pants do you intend to alter.? Are you going to alter a few shorts as well, for summer carry.?
It may be more feasible and cost effective to invest in a good [IWB] tuckable rig.

I've been favoring appendix carry. Using a urinal, I think I would be able to access it pretty well especially if I was able to turn toward the weak hand side toward the attacker. Giving my right hand time to draw but looking like I was zipping up.
May have to do some mock scenario training on it. Definitely 'mock' or my training partners would never go for it

kangaroo pita chips
These chips have all but replaced tortilla chips in our household. At just 100 calories for 9 ounces they are a fantastic alternative. (You also get a whopping 3 grams of fiber / 4 grams of protein and a scant 2.5 grams of fat.) We get ours at Costco in a big two pack, serve them with Hummus and you are all set. YUMM!!

Darchinyan-Martinez March 6
Ray Wheatley–World of Boxing
WBC/WBA super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan will be back in the ring in California on March 6 against the American Raul Martinez (25-1, 15 KOs) and after that he will be after Noninto Donaire who holds a knockout win over the Australian based Armenian. Martinez's only loss was in April last year and was to Donaire. Darchinyan will fight in Australia after the March fight. He will be in action again in April or May on a promotion that will also feature IBO cruiserweight world champion Danny Green. Darchinyan said, "I would love to fight in Australia, the Nonito Donaire rematch could be in June." (Donaire stopped Darchinyan in five rounds in 2007) Darchinyan continues, "That's what I want, I have been waiting for that fight (with Donaire) a long time already. I love fighting very often." Darchinyan is managed by Elias Nasser and promoted by Gary Shaw.

What's gotten into you? In this hour we explore nature's moochers - the good, the bad, and the hideous. We have stories of lethargic farmers, zombie cockroaches, and even mind-controlled humans (kinda, maybe). Could parasites be the shadowy hands that pull the strings of life?
Carl Zimmer plays defense lawyer, trying to exonerate parasites for their wrongs, while Jad and Robert argue in defense of the victims. Our producer Lulu Miller comes in to moderate a lightning round of: "Parasites: are they evil, or are they awesome?" The parasites in question are the zombie wasp, the nematode, and the lovey-dovey blood fluke.

Former Société Générale SA trader Jerome Kerviel was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in France's biggest rogue-trading scandal on Wednesday and ordered to repay the bank €4.9-billion ($6.35-billion U.S.).
Mr. Kerviel, 35, will not go to jail immediately, however, and his lawyer said outside the Paris court that they would study the possibility of a further appeal.
"The appeals court...upholds the ruling," the judge told Mr. Kerviel as he stood in the court.
"Jerome Kerviel was the sole creator, inventor and user of a fraudulent system that caused these damages to Societe Generale," the court's written ruling concluded.
In all, Mr. Kerviel's sentence is for five years in jail, two of which are suspended.
Mr. Kerviel was handed down the jail sentence in 2010 for his role in taking huge, risky bets that cost SocGen €4.9-billion to unwind and damaged the French bank's reputation, but he submitted an appeal to be acquitted in June.
While Mr. Kerviel has never denied masking the €50-billion positions that made headlines around the world as the financial crisis unfolded in early 2008, he has always said that his managers knew what he was doing. SocGen denies this.
"We had given ourselves the goal of defending Mr. Kerviel against an absolutely appalling injustice. I can tell you that we've failed," Mr. Kerviel's lawyer, David Koubbi, told journalists outside the court.
"We will now return to work to look at the possibility of taking his case to (the highest appeals court)," he said.Report Typo/Error

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations General Assembly has Iran rapprochement fever this year.
The prospect of high-level engagement between U.S. and Iranian officials during the annual international meet seemed increasingly likely on Monday as plans were announced for a meeting of the select group devoted to Iran's nuclear issue, during which Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, as well as a lunch to which both President Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will be invited. In addition, Britain's top diplomat, after meeting with Zarif, told reporters that the United Kingdom was open to working with Iran and even reopening its embassy in Tehran. All Western parties still say, however, that real engagement with Iran can only come with a nuclear deal.
Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, announced after a meeting with Zarif on Monday morning that Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent Security Council members plus Germany) would take place in New York this week. The State Department confirmed to BuzzFeed that the meeting will take place on Thursday. Both Zarif and Kerry are expected to attend, constituting the highest-level meeting between U.S. and Iranian officials since 1979.
After the Ashton meeting, Zarif tweeted, "Positive initial meeting with Ashton.Meet with 5+1 ministers on Thursday and next round in October.Need new start under new circumstances."
The encounter between Zarif and Kerry might be supplemented by a quick handshake or exchange of words between President Obama and his Iranian counterpart. Al-Monitor reported that Rouhani has been invited to a lunch for visiting heads of state hosted by U.N. Secretary General that Obama will also attend.
A spokesperson for the Iranian Mission to the U.N. did not immediately return a request for comment about whether Rouhani will attend the lunch.
Asked if the lunch could result in a quick impromptu meeting between Obama and Rouhani, a spokesperson for the National Security Council referred BuzzFeed to deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes' comments aboard Air Force One on Monday.
"We have no meeting scheduled with President Rouhani, though, as you've heard us say repeatedly, we don't rule out that type of engagement," Rhodes said.
"I'm not saying anything different than what we've said, which is the president is open to engagement," Rhodes said. "He's exchanged letters with Rouhani. We simply have not had a meeting scheduled. I was just indicating that this is not something that we object to in principle."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that the administration's willingness to meet with the Iranians is "commensurate with a willingness by Iran to be serious about dealing with its nuclear weapons program."
"It's really 50/50," Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council, said of the chance that Rouhani and Obama could meet. "Expectations have gotten pretty high, so if there isn't a handshake there's going to be a lot of disappointment."
"The risk that both sides are looking at is they know there is a cost for them if they shake hands," Parsi said. "What they don't know is what's the benefit. If everything had been prearranged, they would know what the benefit is."
Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Zarif, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the meeting had been productive and had focused on the nuclear issue, Syria, and boosting the bilateral relationship between Iran and the United Kingdom.
"There is a chance for improved relations with Iran because if the statements of President Rouhani and Foreign Minister Zarif really mean something, if they really mean what they are saying, then certainly there is a chance to improve relations and work together across a whole range of subjects," Hague said, calling for the statements to be matched by "concrete steps."
"We are ready to reciprocate" if Iran cooperates, Hague said. "And I'm making that clear to my Iranian counterparts and so, I believe, are many other of my colleagues from Western countries. There isn't time today to go over the whole nuclear negotiations, but we all agree we need to continue to revive the E3+3 process with Iran, so we will be doing that in the coming days as well."
Asked if there was a possibility of reopening the British embassy in Tehran, which was shuttered after being attacked in 2011, Hague did not rule out the possibility but said he would need a guarantee that the embassy could operate normally.
"We don't want a confrontational relationship with Iran," Hague said.
