Display a "Bought product" label in PrestaShop
In today's tutorial we will learn how to add a "bought product" notification on the PrestaShop product page, much like Amazon does.
Creating a ProductController override in PrestaShop
The cleanest and standard compliant method for assigning the proper variables in PrestaShop, is to use a controller. We need to add content to the product page, so the one we are interested in is the ProductController. Additionally, in order to make sure our modification is upgrade-safe, we need to use an override instead of modifying the original.
Let's get started!
Create a new file inside override/controllers/front/ and name it ProductController.php
Open it up, and within php tags add the following:
Class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore { }
We want to extend the initContent() method, so let's do it:
Class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore { public function initContent() { parent::initContent(); } }
We are calling the parent's initContent as well, to make sure all the needed variables are loaded. At this point, before the parent is called, let's first check if the current user is a registered customer, as we will never be able to tell what a guest has bought:
Class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore { public function initContent() { if($this->context->customer->id) // only if logged in { $bought_products = $this->context->customer->getBoughtProducts(); // only valid orders } parent::initContent(); } }
If it is, we get all the products he bought. Please notice only valid(paid) orders are considered. If you wish to include them all, you must remove the condition "valid = 1″ in the getBoughtProducts method, Customer class.
Now let's cycle through them. If the current product's id is matched, we assign a date variable to the template:
if($this->context->customer->id) // only if logged in { $bought_products = $this->context->customer->getBoughtProducts(); // only valid orders if($bought_products) { foreach ($bought_products as $prod) { if($prod['product_id'] = $this->product->id) { $this->context->smarty->assign(array( 'bought_on'=> $prod['date_add'] )); } } } }
We are done with php, the next step will be showing our custom text in the product.tpl file. Before proceeding, make sure to erase your class_index.php file, located in the cache/ folder.
Adding a bought product text to the product page
Open up product.tpl, located in the theme folder. Please notice your code will be different if you use a custom template, as I am using default-bootstrap for this demonstration. I decided to add the info box at the top of the page, above the product image.
If you want to pick the same spot, locate the div with class pb-left-column, and add the following right before it:
{if isset($bought_on)}

 {l s='You purchased this product on'} {dateFormat date=$bought_on}

 {/if}
Save and refresh, we are done! You should see something like this:

Dr. Gibson is interested in mid- to lower crustal processes associated with mountain building events (orogenesis). His research focuses on structural, metamorphic, and U-Th-Pb geochronologic analyses of high-grade, polydeformed rocks exhumed from deep crustal levels. Dan's research is field intensive in areas such as the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains of southeastern British Columbia , central Yukon Territory , and the East Athabasca mylonite triangle in northern Saskatchewan . Fieldwork involves detailed mapping and sample collection for structural, metamorphic, and geochronologic analyses. Dan is also pursuing cutting-edge geochronologic techniques that utilize chemical mapping and in-situ U-Th-Pb analyses of radiogenic minerals such as monazite to link precise geochronologic ages with specific metamorphic and structural processes. Dan is currently looking for motivated graduate students interested in working on structural/tectonic problems within the Canadian Cordillera and northern Saskatchewan.

By AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION NEWS
Arizona is the latest state to add CPR training to the curriculum for high school students, making it the 32nd in the country.
Legislation signed Thursday by Gov. Doug Ducey offers high school students at least one CPR training session, with hands-on practice. It can be taught at school or as a homework assignment outside of class. The curriculum change goes into effect with the 2019-2020 school year.
"Training students in CPR means equipping more people with the ability to act immediately, appropriately, and potentially save a life during an emergency," said Annie Dockendorff, a spokeswoman for the Arizona governor's office. "This legislation makes Arizona one of over 30 states to teach this important life skill in our schools."
There is a very unique aspect to the Arizona bill that allows schools to purchase equipment with the Arizona tax credit if schools don't partner with an outside organization.
Arizona will have nearly 60,000 graduating students a year learning CPR. With Arizona, about 61 percent of the nation's public high school graduates will be trained in CPR.
According to American Heart Association statistics, about 38 people each hour have a cardiac arrest while not in a hospital, and nine of 10 do not survive. Receiving CPR, however, can double or even triple the victim's chances of survival.
Just in April, Wisconsin, South Carolina and Kentucky passed similar bills, and Michigan is moving ahead on proposed legislation to require CPR training in schools.

Secret Government Agency Closes National Solar Observatory
Posted by Pete | Posted in News | Posted on 13-09-2018
Albuquerque Journal, Thursday September 13, 2018 reports the following. I also checked the internet and they have several articles regarding the closure but with no additional information available.
On Thursday, September 7, 2018 the folks employed at the National Solar Observatory was closed by a government agency and had the employees evacuate the area. A nearby post office was also told to close and it was also evacuated. None of the people were told what was happening to cause the closure and they were not told how long the closure would last. They said "due to unforeseen circumstances" due to some security issues and would have no further comments at this time. The FBI is on site, but they are not the agency that closed it, and no one is saying which agency was responsible for the closure.
This place has been operating since 1947, involved in solar research. The operator of the facility is The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy is addressing a security issue and decided to temporarily vacate the facility.
In another article, which I did not fully explore, there seem to be some solar flares that are raising some eyebrows and I wondered if that could be a part of it….yet, that is what they do: Study solar flares, etc…Soooo, what's going on? Could the agency that closed the place be the "MEN IN BLACK?" Just saying……

Help build a stronger community
Local business owners typically have invested their life savings in their local business. As a result they have a special interest in the long-term health and vitality of the community that supports them. These owners typically give more of their financial resources and time to support local non-profits and organizations. Look around at your community service organizations and you will see many local business owners serving on their boards and supporting local causes and activities.
It is true that some chain stores give back to the communities they operate in and not all local business owners are exemplary citizens. However, locally owned businesses clearly have a far greater impact on our local communities than chain organizations.
Numerous studies have been done over the years comparing the impact on the local economy from locally owned businesses compared to chain stores. The conclusions are always the same. Locally owned businesses return one to two thirds more of their revenue to the community through their local spending than chain stores. They also employ more local people than chain stores.
It makes sense because chain stores improve their profitability by centralizing key business functions. Functions like marketing, purchasing, and financial management are done in the corporate headquarters. While that may give them the opportunity to reduce prices to consumers, it is not always true. More importantly, buyers in far away headquarters are not aware of local product preferences so items that sell well in Pawtucket may not sell at all in North Central Washington.
Local business owners often have a personal touch with their customers that chain store managers do not possess. I'll take the liberty of giving you an example here. Dan's Market in Leavenworth has Butte pasties. In my hometown of Butte Montana pasties were a staple. Miners carried them in their lunch buckets. Eric Worthen, the current owner, must have a number of old Butte people who have asked him for those pasties because you can buy them in his store you won't find them in Safeway.
Local businesses also buy much of what they sell from local producers. Chains may buy from local producers but often demand special pricing that can substantially impact the profitability of those local producers. Here's another example. Wal Mart in Chelan occasionally runs flyers in the local newspapers of the communities where they operate. They only want to pay about half of the newspaper's rate for running that insert. That is not fair to the local businesses that pay the local newspapers regular rates. In our case we refuse to give them special pricing so we only get occasional inserts for special promotions from Wal Mart.
In most of the North Central Washington communities we serve there is not a heavy presence of chain stores businesses that compete directly with our locally owned ones. However, that does not mean our local communities are not impacted by chains. Most of us get in the car and drive to Wenatchee to buy at Home Depot, Costco, Lowes, Olive Garden and other chains. To make matters worse many of our local residents are increasingly shopping online, buying much of their products through Amazon or other online retailers. The result is what's commonly called "leakage." Retail sales that would otherwise remain in the local community creating jobs and local prosperity go not just to Wenatchee, but to Kirkland, Arkansas and Hong Kong.
It is true that most of our local communities cannot provide all of the goods and services we require or provide the broad selection. What is true is that we all need to make a conscious effort to spend more of our money in our local community with locally owned businesses. Many shop local campaigns have been launched across the country and they often point out how committing to spend just 10 percent more of your purchases with a local, independently owned, business can make a huge change in the local economy.
Last year NCW Media developed a shop local directory. It is available through all of our web sites and is growing every week. While the directory covers businesses across the three counties we serve, through the magic of electronic technology it sorts them by the ones that are closest to you. In other words, if you search from Leavenworth the businesses closest to Leavenworth will be sorted at the top.
This week we are also launching our new web sites. The new sites will make the information available on whatever platform you happen to be using including your smart phone. The shop local directories will be available there as well.
So check us out, but more importantly let's all make a resolution to spend more of our money in our local community this year.

Day Three: Pattern Download from Juliet Meeks
If I could wallpaper my actual wall with this color and this pattern, I would. I would move to Savannah, Georgia and lounge on a chaise by the window, alternating my gaze from the Spanish moss-filled trees and this wallpaper. I would be sipping mint iced tea and daydreaming. All. Day. For now, I'll just have to take some breaks from my work and pop over to my desktop to recreate the dream. Thanks Juliet!

The Hideous Unknown of H.P. Lovecraft
The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft
For adolescents, something about horror never goes out of style. They often feel an excited disgust upon learning how things really are, and their disgust is merely a notch away from the more thoroughgoing pleasures of horror. It is the closest they can come to the sublime.
Every teacher of creative writing in every American college and university is no doubt familiar with the tendency of young people, usually young men, to concoct gruesome narratives that take place in an edgily unspecified locale. Mayhem, awkward sentences, paper-thin characterizations, and complicated weaponry vie for the reader's attention. But always there are the aliens, organic or machinelike or both, and always the accompanying rage and revulsion.
The authors of these horrific fictions sit in the back of the classroom avoiding eye contact, rarely speaking to anybody. Shabbily dressed, fidgety, tattooed, hysterically sullen, they are bored by realism and reality when not actively hostile to both. When asked about their reading, they will gamely mumble the usual list of names: Neal Stephenson, Stephen King, J.G. Ballard, and Philip K. Dick. But the name that I have heard most often mentioned in these litanies is that of H.P. Lovecraft, whom they revere. He is their spirit-guide.
And they should not be dismissed. Two horror classics were written by teenagers: Mary Shelley began Frankenstein at the age of eighteen, and Matthew Gregory Lewis wrote The Monk (1796) in ten weeks at the age of nineteen. John Berryman thought it more authoritative about damnation than Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus.1
As for Lovecraft, who died in 1937 at the age of forty-six, he never really grew up. "Adulthood is hell," he once wrote in a letter. Like his character Randolph Carter, "he wanted the lands of dream he had lost, and yearned for the days of his childhood." His fiction's familiar condition—fear inspired by shock—is characteristic of early adolescence. Wild imaginings and panic-stricken rhetoric, two features of his work, stem from his anathematizing of day-to-day adult reality and can cast a spell over many susceptible readers, who look up from his pages feeling oddly disturbed and dazed.
The effectiveness of Lovecraft's fiction has little to do with its purely literary qualities, which are minimal (Michel Houellebecq claimed that Lovecraft's work was "not really literary"), but with another feature that's harder to pinpoint: the ways it casts a spell. Fiction like Lovecraft's can be brutally hypnotic; the young reader, intellectually undefended and easily shaken, enters the writer's fear-drenched universe and can't easily get out of it. The mood of unappeasable, apocalyptic menace gradually overcomes those who are unprepared for it. Though sometimes stagy, the intensity in Lovecraft's stories does not seem fake. Closing the book, the initiate tries to find other readers who were similarly spellbound. A cult is formed, as if to combat post-traumatic stress. From generation to generation the cult grows.
By contrast, readers of…

The mechanisms underpinning the transfers of personal data from the European Union to the United States have been the subject of intense scrutiny and discussion in recent years and particularly in recent months, arising from the following developments:
- 6 October 2015: The Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") in the Schrems case held that Commission Decision 2000/520/EC in respect of Safe Harbor was invalid under European law. Therefore, transfers of personal data from the European Union to the United States pursuant to the "Safe Harbor" mechanism did not ensure an adequate level of protection under EU data protection laws. Consequently, data controllers subject to EU data protection laws were mandated to implement alternative transfer mechanisms for transfers to the US, such as model clauses.
- 16 October 2015: The Article 29 Working Party specified 31 January 2016 as the deadline by which the representatives of the European Union institutions and the United States should agree legal and technical solutions to address the shortcomings identified by the CJEU in Safe Harbor in order to provide stronger assurances for the rights of EU data subjects. The Article 29 Working Party expressed the intention "to take all necessary and appropriate actions, which may include coordinated enforcement actions" in the event that agreement was not reached by the deadline.
- 2 February 2016: The European Commission announced that it had agreed with the US a new framework for data transfers from the EU to the US: the EU-US Privacy Shield, designed to resolve the concerns raised in the CJEU's ruling.
- 3 February 2016: The Article 29 Working Party announces that the new framework will be assessed by it by reference to the requirements of the CJEU in the Schrems judgment.
- Self-Certification: Like Safe Harbor, the EU-US Privacy Shield is a self-certification mechanism. A US organisation can join the EU-US Privacy Shield if it publishes its commitments on accepting "robust obligations" on how personal data is processed by it and how individuals' rights are protected. Any processing of employment personal data will be subject to an obligation to comply with decisions by European data protection regulators.
- Monitoring: Compliance with the EU–US Privacy Shield will be subject to monitoring and review by the US Department of Commerce, with sanctions applied by the US Federal Trade Commission for any failures to comply.
- Law Enforcement Access: Mass surveillance of personal data by US law enforcement and national security has been ruled out by the US authorities. Any access to personal data by such authorities will be subject to limitations, safeguards and oversight mechanisms and subject to the principles of necessity and proportionality.
- Rights of Redress: Individuals have rights of redress and any complaints issued by an individual to a certified organisation must be addressed free of charge within a specific timeframe. The complaint may be escalated by the individual for consideration by a European data protection regulator (which may involve the US Department of Commerce and Federal Trade Commission to aid in its resolution). US legislation will be passed to provide European citizens with the same rights of redress as US citizens with respect to unlawful access of their personal data by US public bodies. An independent ombudsman will deal with complaints concerning processing by national intelligence authorities.
- Annual Review: The European Commission and US Department of Commerce will conduct a joint annual review of the functioning of the EU-US Privacy Shield.
The European Commission expects that the arrangements to implement the new framework will be finalised by the EU and US authorities over the next three months. The Article 29 Working Party expects to issue its report on the proposed framework by the end of April. This opinion will also consider the validity of other transfer mechanisms, such as model clauses and binding corporate rules and therefore could be wide ranging in its scope.
If the Article 29 Working Party approves the new mechanism, the European Commission will adopt a decision that confirms that any processing of personal data in the US by organisations that are certified under EU - US Privacy Shield, once finalised and implemented, shall be deemed to be in accordance with European data protection law. It is hoped that this can be achieved in May 2016.
It is difficult to assess at this stage whether any replacement or future mechanisms for data transfers will continue to be fraught with legal challenges. Once the Article 29 Working Party has issued its opinion in April/early May 2016, the position on the adequacy of these arrangements will be clearer. As model clauses are also based upon Commission Decisions, it is possible that the CJEU may also be requested to consider the validity of those decisions. However, if any such challenge is referred to the CJEU for consideration, it will take some time for a decision to issue. Therefore, data controllers should continue to rely on model clauses in the absence of an alternative legislative basis for data transfers and especially until such time as the EU-US Privacy Shield has been implemented and approved as an adequate transfer mechanism.
This article contains a general summary of developments and is not a complete or definitive statement of the law. Specific legal advice should be obtained where appropriate.

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata celebrated the opening goal against Watford by taking off his boot and throwing it in the air
The Spaniard scored in the first half against the Hornets as Jose Mourinho's men ran out eventual 2-0 winners at Old Trafford
JUAN MATA pulled off one of the celebrations of the season as he took his boot off and threw it in the air after his opener against Watford.
The Spaniard broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute after he swept home from six yards out after a low Anthony Martial cross.
Prior to his left-footed strike, his boot came off just seconds before the attack that led to his goal before he quickly put it and made his way unmarked into the box.
Keep up to date with ALL the Manchester United news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
He played a brilliant one-two with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the build-up to the goal, exquisitely back-heeling the ball into the path of the Armenian international who then found Martial on the left-hand side.
Then after he found the back of the net he took off his right boot before launching it high up in the air and then embraced with the former Monaco star.
Unlike receiving a booking when you take your shirt off while celebrating, taking your shoe off is clearly not an offence in the eyes of the referee.

It's the second game in a row in which the 28-year-old has scored after he netted against the champions Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last week.
However it could be argued Mata should be currently serving a suspension after his reckless tackle on Jamie Vardy last week in which he was only brandished a yellow card.
The Red Devils went on to beat the Hornets 2-0 after Martial got involved in the act in the second half.
Jose Mourinho's men now sit just a point behind Manchester City after recording back-to-back victories.

Hello from sunshine central! Usually I try not to go in for all that bragging nonsense, but today I'll make an exception. We seriously have had the most amazing summer this year. I don't think it's broken past the early 90's (30's) once this year. ONCE! Honestly, that is a gift that I was well and truly ready for. Sunshine, blue skies and 80 degrees? Yes. Please.
Anyway, with all that aside, I'm delighted to share this dear quilt with you. It's finished. Hooray! The 1930's repro fabrics have been bought to life and sweets for my sweets, this is one sugary little quilt. I'm so pleased with its vibe and think it'll be a lovely addition to the new baby's nursery.
It's so very hard to choose fabrics online and to trust that they'll all go as well as you'd hope they would when you chose them from the eensy little swatch online. However, I am delighted with the back of this quilt. I think it gives it the edge that it needs to push it back into the 21st century. The colour is exactly what I was hoping for and beautifully balances out the pinks of the quilt top.
The pattern itself came together so easily and it was particularly enjoyable to piece all of the prints together. The design nods towards classic images of country fair bunting and gives it a whimsical kind of feel without it needing to become 'quilt art. It still functions as as baby blanket that can be used any way up and on either side, which is kind of helpful when you're balancing a baby on your hip and trying to lay it on the floor one handed!
Although I truly feel that it's the little details that really pull this quilt together. The square dot binding that wraps around the edges, the white peekaboo extra, the double quilting. These are the elements that make it a special gift and (hopefully) a keepsake.
I sure hope Sienna likes it! Thank you Danielle for allowing me to make something so special for your darling new niece. It really is a compliment to be asked.
Also, did I mention that this is a commission? Did I? Did you know that I do those? Did you? Well I do! Let me know if you'd like more details. You can find my contact information on the 'about' page. Plug, plug, plug.
As you may have been able to tell, this quilting lark has really got a hold of me right now. I'm thoroughly enjoying the process of quilt making, the science of it and the maths too. I bet my high school maths teacher would never believe that I would ever use the words 'maths' and 'enjoy' in the same sentence (sorry Mr Mobbs!) but it's true! Quilt construction requires a lot of mental energy and plenty of careful consideration and planning and I'm really starting to find some kind of warped satisfaction in it. Who am I? What has happened to me?!
I have a foxy little number coming up soon. A fox print fabric that is, nothing racy let me assure you! More details shortly.
Off to enjoy this absolute perfection of summer weather once more. Oh yeeehh!
As always, thanks for stopping by x

by Stephanie Nolen in New Delhi
December 3, 2012 - China should look at Canada's example to allay its fears of Tibetan aspirations for freedom, the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile says.
In an exclusive interview with The Globe and Mail, Lobsang Sangay, a Tibetan refugee and legal scholar, expressed cautious hope that the change of leadership in China next spring will start to reverse increasingly hardline policies toward Tibet. There is a "basis" for optimism, he says, even though China is going through a period of rising nationalism.
Mr. Sangay also lamented the "desperate" protests against Chinese rule that have taken shape in a wave of self-immolations by Tibetan monks, but said those acts reflect the environment of repression in which Tibetans live.
Mr. Sangay was elected last year as Sikyong, or prime minister, of the exiled Tibetan government based in Dharamsala in northern India. In that post, he has taken over management of the diaspora's political affairs from the Dalai Lama and in effect now heads the Tibetan campaign for autonomy. He spoke to The Globe after the first group of Tibetans were chosen to immigrate to Canada next year, under a government that may bring to Canada up to 1,000 Tibetan refugees now living in India.
Q. How are you feeling about the new leadership in Beijing, installed at the 18th Congress of the Communist Part a few weeks ago, and what do you think it may mean for Tibet?
A. I think it's too early to say. Of the seven leaders, most of them are in their mid-60s. ... So in the 19th Congress there will be more wholesale changes – the 18th Congress is a continuation of the same people from the 16th and 17th. So if you are really looking for real changes you have to wait for the 19th. The likelihood of continuing the same policy is high. Particularly the fact that some of the more "liberal" people, who are of younger age and more open-minded, were not included … We might get some hint when Xi Jinping takes over the presidency in March of next year … He will give a speech and that's where he will indicate his line of thinking. Otherwise it's so opaque.
Q. The Dalai Lama has suggested he is optimistic about Mr. Xi Jinping, perhaps because he had a warm relationship with Mr. Xi's father.
A. Optimism is too strong. As a human being you should always remain hopeful. Optimism you have some basis for. Xi Jinping is the son of [former Chinese deputy premier] Xi Zhongxun, who received His Holiness in Beijing in 1954 and was with His Holiness many times, and His Holiness gave him a watch that he kept even during the Cultural Revolution and after. They took a picture and Xi Zhongxun saved it … so it seems the [warm feeling towards the Dalai Lama] was genuine … Xi Zhongxun also had a close relationship with the late Panchen Lama … and he would tell him, 'Have patience, don't get angry, things will take time to change.'
Q. So there is a history of these personal ties – does that make you a little bit hopeful?
A. For any leader to make any decision you have to have the familiarity with the issue because it's a judgment call, and if you know the issue well and if you are familiar with it, it becomes easier to sort through the issue and make a decision. Xi Jinping's father was a supporter of Hu Yaobang, the most liberal Chinese leader … and he supported him until the end, he was the last man standing with Hu Yaobang. So now the big question is, Will the son be like the father?
There are a lot of dynamics happening inside China. There is this nationalism on the rise and military adventurism in the South-China Sea, and then market forces driving China towards one goal and yet socially people are becoming more assertive, more open and more free, social networking is taking place. And yet politically, instead of advancing, they have retrenched in many ways, especially on Tibet. They have maintained hardline policies, and imposed more hardline policies – there is some movement on many trends but on Tibet there is backwards movement.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has been linked with Arsenal.
Former player Robbie Savage says that Jamie Vardy should move to Arsenal, and reminds the striker that he owes Leicester City nothing and that there is no loyalty in football, the Mirror reports.
According to The Guardian, Arsenal want to sign England international striker Vardy from Premier League rivals Leicester in the summer transfer window and have triggered his release clause of £20 million.
Savage has urged Vardy to make the move and has commented on his blog for the Mirror that there is no loyalty in football any more, suggesting that the striker should not feel bad about leaving.
"Jamie Vardy owes Leicester nothing. To be honest, I don't know what more he can realistically achieve at the King Power. Leicester aren't going to win the title again," Savage wrote in the Mirror.
- Celtic star's 4-word message to Kieran Tierney, Filip Benkovic calls him Rolls-Royce
- 'Incredible': Mikel Arteta cannot contain himself over player who turned down Arsenal
"The signs are that Vardy is torn between joining Arsenal and staying at Leicester, but whatever he chooses to do, he must remember there is no loyalty in football any more."
Leicester took the gamble on Vardy by signing him from Fleetwood Town, but he has more than repaid the faith shown in him by netting a remarkable 24 Premier League goals last term.
Vardy may be taking his time in deciding as his loyalty could be questioned, but Savage questions the decision to request a release clause in his contract if he has no real desire to move on.
"Why insert that clause if you are not prepared to jump ship when a big club activates it? And why £20m? With a £5.1billion TV deal set to kick in, there was always going to be someone nibbling at the bait," wrote Savage.
Vardy is on international duty with England at the moment and will be an important player for the Three Lions at the Euro 2016 finals in France.

Fabric Cupboard
Here's my tidied fabric cupboard.
Top section bulky things like fleece and wool for jackets and a few other things which would not fir anywhere else. Half of this is hidden above the door frame which continues up to the ceiling
Next section blouse weight fabrics. You can hardly see the shelf here as its narrow.
Now down to the wooden shelving unit. Sitting on the top are the pieces not chosen for teal, lime or brown/orange collections.
The next shelf down is trouser weight fabrics in black, brown, navy and charcoal. Boring but very useful.
Below that is my knits shelf .
And the bottom section has linings and satins plus some more bottom weight fabrics.
There is a lot of inspiration in here.

Was George Washington a Deist?
As a boy living in Alexandria, VA I would often look for the Washington Monument while riding in the car, especially as we approached a certain hill on Highway One. Sometimes visibility would not allow it, but often it was visible on that hill, even though we were over ten miles away.
At 555 feet high, the Washington Monument stands as the world's tallest stone structure. Even from a distance, it captures your attention. As you draw closer and look toward its top, you can lose your balance as you try to grasp the power and reach that it projects skyward.
Like that monument, George Washington remains impressive even from a distance. There would likely have been no successful War for Independence or a written national Constitution without him. As the colonial historian Forrest McDonald said, he was the "indispensable man." The power of his presence changed the historical landscape whether he was home at Mt. Vernon, on the battlefield at Yorktown, or sitting at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia with other state delegates as they hammered out a new government for the ages.
While we get a grasp of Washington's accomplishments from a distance, the man, like his monument remains daunting up close. Unlike the Jefferson Memorial with its verbosity, the Washington Monument is mostly silent. Washington did not pen his mental ramblings on every topic in his orbit as was the practice of Jefferson. With our third president we know too much; with our first, too little.
This is especially true when it comes to Washington and his faith. Washington rarely mentioned religion in his writings. However, from what he did say and the reputation he left, it had been assumed that Washington was a Christian. Despite a few dissenting voices, most people knew Washington as a man that attended church, was a godfather, was a generous contributor, spoke favorably of the Christian religion, and exemplified many of the Christian virtues.
However, in the twentieth century when American history took a jog toward progressivism, Washington's actions were taken to be more secular. The actions emphasized by progressives were that Washington attended church, but rarely, and only attended as often as was expected in an era of established religion. And he was not a communicant, stood during prayer when others knelt, and rarely referred to God or Jesus in his writings. When he did mention God, he referred to Him as "Divine Providence" or "that Supreme Being," phrases that reflect a more impersonal God. Furthermore, he was a member of the Masonic Lodge, supposedly a haunt for deists that, nonetheless, valued the "utility of religion."
These collected facts and others led secular historians such as Paul Boller and Rupert Hughes to conclude that George Washington was a deist, a believer in a creator of the universe, but not the personal and knowable God of the Bible. Especially since Paul Boller's book, George Washington and Religion, the assumption among many historians has been that Washington was a deist.
What is a Deist?
In his American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster defined "deism" as the belief that one God exists but denied any revelation from God, save possibly the revelation that might come through the "light of reason.(1)" If the deists of Washington's time denied the possibility of revelation, then a deist could not be a Christian.
Recently, historical analysis on George Washington and religion has come full circle as interest in Washington's religion has enjoyed a comeback. These studies and some others have looked more closely at George Washington and the role that religion played in his life:
- Washington's God by Michael Novak & Jana Novak
- In the Hands of a Good Providence by Mary V. Thompson
- George Washington's Sacred Fire by Peter Lillback
Each of these works has concluded that whatever might be made of Washington's Christian faith, the claim that Washington was a deist is dubious. In this essay, I will take a similar tack, concluding that George Washington was not a deist.
Progressive historians have made several evaluations about Washington and deism. The following four claims appear to be the strongest arguments advanced by these historians:
- George Washington was called a Deist
- He was a Mason
- Like many of his day, he was a product of the Enlightenment
- He spoke rarely of God and even more rarely of Jesus Christ
Washington Was Called a Deist during His Lifetime
One obvious proof that George Washington was a deist according to proponents was that he was once called a deist by some that knew him. Speaking to another man, the Rev. James Abercrombie, the assistant rector at Christ Church in Philadelphia, said, "Sir, Washington was a deist. (2)" However, this appears to be a chastisement aimed at Washington because he was not a communicant in Abercrombie's church in Philadelphia because the same minister followed up this comment by saying that "I cannot consider any man as a real Christian who uniformly disregards an ordinance so solemnly enjoined by the divine Author of our holy religion.(3)"
In Washington's Anglican tradition, a communion service would follow the preaching service. After the preaching service, the—"liturgy of the word"—most would dismiss and a few would stay to receive the communion. While he was in Philadelphia, Washington would get up after the preaching service with most of the congregants and leave before the communion service.
Regardless of his reason for not communing, that he dismissed himself is hardly evidence of deism. As a deist, why would Washington participate in every ritual of the Anglican tradition, save communion? Why would a deist even feel the need to participate in a Christian service at any level whether it was the preaching service or the communion service? At most, the fact that George Washington did not commune might support the proposition that he was not a good Christian or not a Christian at all, but it would not support the claim that Washington was a deist.
In any event, it's odd that some modern historians have given so much attention to Washington's failure to commune, yet ignore his church attendance which had the reputation of being regular. In most Christian traditions, church attendance is considered more important than taking communion. In fact, the Bible has warnings against those that partake of communion "unworthily."
Finally, the evidence supporting Washington's failure to commune is not universal. Alexander Hamilton's wife, for example, testified to her descendants that she saw Washington taking communion shortly around the time of his inauguration. Anyway, the question of why he did or did not commune is of interest if we are considering whether or not Washington was a Christian; it's irrelevant to the question of whether or not he was a deist.
George Washington was a Freemason
A second argument from progressives is that Washington was a deist because was a member of the Masonic Lodge. The fact that Washington was a Mason is undisputed. Washington joined the Fredericksburg Lodge in 1752 when he was twenty and was an active Lodge member until 1768. After then, he only attended the Lodge meetings once or twice according to his testimony. According to historian Paul Johnson, Washington received a Masonic apron from the Marquis de Lafayette when the Marquis visited him in 1784. (5) Furthermore, Washington was sworn into office with his hand on a Masonic Bible and received both an Episcopalian and Masonic funeral with the six pallbearers, all being Masons.
However, it's a mistaken assumption that if one is a Mason, he's also a deist. Today, many professing Christians belong to the Lodge. Former North Carolina senator Jesse Helms (1921-2008) was a member of the Lodge. Helms was demonized by liberals as an "extreme right-wing conservative," a pit bull for the Religious Right. No progressive ever accused him of being a deist
A further look at the Lodge of eighteenth-century America reveals some nuances about the Masonic Order that are not likely to be obvious in our day. For example, the teachings of the Lodge in Washington's day were more likely to be influenced by Christianity, given that such a large part of the population was Christian. In fact, a Masonic Constitution that was employed by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania stated that the Mason "cannot tread in the irreligious paths of the unhappy Libertine, the Deist, nor stupid Atheist...(6)" This Masonic Constitution was written by Dr. William Smith, a Philadelphia clergyman. So Dr. Smith was a Mason and an Episcopalian, the same religion as George Washington.
The above quote is also informative in that it suggests that, during Washington's time, being a Mason in the American colonies was incompatible with being a deist, a libertine or an atheist, but was compatible with being a Christian. In fact, Christian sermons were preached at the Masonic Lodges during Washington's time, even sectarian ones. Washington had a sermon collection and one of the sermons in his collection was from Mason Rev. Smith in which the minister is giving a Mason's message, a message that states "[speaking of judgment day] let us remember that it will be assuredly asked—were we in CHRIST JESUS? (7)"
As for the conspiratorial elements of the Masonic Order, they were not known to George Washington until much later. In the year prior to Washington's death, 1798, Washington was given a book called the Proofs of a Conspiracy by John Robinson, in which the author claimed that the American Lodge had been infiltrated by an anti religious element called the Illuminati. In response to the book, Washington wrote Rev. G.W. Snyder (the man who originally sent him the book) and told him that he did not believe that such elements were a part of the American Lodge, saying that "I believe notwithstanding, that none of the Lodges of this Country are contaminated with the principles ascribed to the Society of the Illuminati.(8)" Furthermore, Washington informed Snyder that he had only attended Lodge meetings once or twice over the past thirty years (that would be going back to 1768, prior to the war). (9)
So, being a Mason does not make one a deist. Apparently in some quarters, the two were incompatible. Washington was a member of the Masons, a group during his time that was compatible with being a Christian. Washington's involvement in the Lodge was mostly during his younger years (prior to 1768) and this roughly corresponds with the years that he served as a vestryman in the Anglican Church. Washington stated that he did not believe that the Illuminati was prevalent in American Lodges.
George Washington & Deism
Washington was Influenced by the Enlightenment
Third, progressive historians emphasize Washington's Enlightenment beliefs, claiming that these better explain Washington's beliefs than does Christianity. Certainly, Washington appears to have been influenced by Enlightenment ideals. Washington speaks much of the spread of knowledge and overcoming superstition and bigotry. In a circular letter Washington wrote in 1783 to the state governors, he said that "The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition…(10)" However, in the same letter, Washington also said, "....the growing liberality of sentiment, and above all, the pure and benign light of Revelation, have a meliorating influence on mankind and increased the blessings of Society." So from Washington's frame of mind "Ignorance and Superstition" are not the same as the "benign light of Revelation." For a deist, they would be. No deist considers Revelation as a "benign light." As was mentioned earlier, deists reject revelation. For the deist, "Revelation" is "Ignorance and Superstition."
It needs to be remembered that while we often associate the Enlightenment with unbelief, there were some Enlightenment figures that came down on the side of belief and were trying to ground Christianity in reason. One such man was the English philosopher, John Locke. Locke's ideas were some of the most influential of the founding generation. This is obvious from reading the Declaration of Independence and then reading Locke's The Two Treatises on Government. Locke was a figure of the Enlightenment but he was also a Christian who wrote an apologetic called the Reasonableness of Christianity in which he pursued belief in God along rational lines. And while Washington praised Thomas Paine for his publication of Common Sense, which spoke respectfully of God, Washington appears to have rejected Thomas Paine about the time he was writing the more deistic Age of Reason. Even Ben Franklin, who is thought to be even closer to the deist sentiments than Washington, was critical of Paine's contempt for religion. Franklin, after having read Paine's Age of Reason, wrote him a letter July 3, 1786 in which he asked Paine "if men are so wicked with religion, what would they be if without it (11)"?
Washington's Scarce Mention of God and Jesus
Finally, proponents of the "Washington was a Deist" thesis say that Washington rarely made references to God or Jesus Christ. The rationale is that Washington did not believe in a personal God. Rather, being a product of the Enlightenment, Washington used more impersonal names for God like "providence" (one of his favorites) or the "Author of our blessed Religion."
It might help to know what Washington meant when he spoke of "providence." Washington believed in a providence that was a superintending agent in the affairs of man. This is apparent in Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation (1789), in which he connects providence with a God that provides "benefits," possesses a "will," and is a Being that we should "implore" and "beseech." Furthermore, Washington acknowledges the national problem of unrighteousness by suggesting that we should seek His forgiveness for our national sins.(12)
Further evidence that Washington believes in a "superintending agent" comes from an undated letter that Washington sent to a Hebrew congregation in Savannah, GA in which he identified "providence" as none other than that being which delivered the Hebrew children from their taskmasters and that he was the same being that had been obvious in the creation of the republic. As Michael Novak notes, the god that George Washington prays to is the Hebrew God and if Novak is correct, then Washington's providential God is not the God of deism (13). A deist would believe in an unintending agent.
If expressions like "divine providence" are reasonable proxies for the biblical God, then we can add to Washington's repertoire many more references to God and Jesus. For example, he referred to Jesus as "our gracious Redeemer," and "the great Lord and Ruler of Nations.(14)" Washington also made generous references to the Christian faith and referred to the teachings of Jesus often such as the wheat and the tares, the will of God, the "narrow path," "good and faithful servant" among others. The many references to the teachings of Jesus suggest that Washington was biblically literate. The biblical concepts are found throughout his written conversations.
Finally, it's a myth that Washington's fanciful expressions for the Deity were deistic in character. When Washington referred to "divine providence," this was not a deistic euphemism for "God." Thomas Paine, for example, did not employ these elaborate titles for God. In the Age of Reason, Paine limited himself to the expressions "God," "Creator, and "Almighty. (15)" As for Washington, he had over a hundred such titles for God.
A further observation is that Christian ministers also used creative titles for the Almighty. In 1793 Reverend Samuel Miller preached a sermon entitled "A Sermon on the Anniversary of the Independence of America" in which he uses such expressions as "the grand Source," "the supreme Arbiter of nations," and "the Governor of the universe" to refer to God. (16) Rev. James Abercrombie, the same minister that called Washington a "deist," called God "the divine Author of our holy religion." (17) Political scientist Mark David Hall points out that even the 1788 American revised Westminster Standards refers to God as the "Supreme Judge" and the "first cause," making the point that American Calvinists would have embraced these descriptors as legitimate references to their God. (18)
So, unless we're going to consign gospel ministers to the deist camp, it's not likely that this flourish used by colonials is any serious evidence of deism.
And Finally….
Today, it's a popular indoor sport of progressive historians to attack evangelicals such as the late D. James Kennedy and David Barton because they would presume that George Washington was a Christian. The argument is that evangelical Christians have read their own faith into George Washington and see what they wanted to see. There is some evidence that this is true. However, it appears equally true that secular historians have done the same by reading their own unbelief into their analysis of George Washington. Given their general lack of interest in religion, unless it's something "fanatical" like the Great Awakening or burning witches in Salem, it's likely that secularists would easily overlook the nuances of Washington's own words on religious matters. Rather, they've looked for a president who headed a secular republic and expounded a civil religion. And I believe that they found what they were looking for and have portrayed Washington in such a light for decades.
While I did not tackle the issue of whether or not George Washington was a Christian, I have provided refutation of four common arguments that George Washington was a deist. From my investigation it's a reasonable conclusion that George Washington was not a deist.

Bibowen, it is refreshing to see someone (you) demonstrate that reasoning requires looking at and analyzing the facts and from there drawing valid conclusions that are supported by a preponderance of the evidence instead of starting with a premise and then looking only for (or cherry picking) information, whether factual or not to support the premise. The latter approach (second only to "the ends justifies the means") is a hallmark of the "progressive" movement which is just another name for liberalism, which can be explained by it's own acronym

While liberals have chosen these nefarious deceptions as their modus operandi others can commit these errors. For example I don't believe George Washington never told a lie for if that was true he wouldn't have been a Christian, he'd have been Christ himself. :-)
Washing also wrote a book of prayers, served as chaplain for his troops when none was available and declared a day of Thanksgiving.
Great article. You taught my American Gov. class n college and although I did not give it 100% I thoroughly enjoyed your class. I intend on reading your other article as well.
I agree that "negative inferences" are not conclusive. However, I would just note that those advancing the thesis that GW was an orthodox Christian equally share the burden.
First paragraph: We agree fully. I don't believe, based on the historical evidence, that GW was a strict deist.
Second paragph: It's interesting, more evidence shows John Adams as President, sounding like an orthodox Trinitarian (preparing a speech/prayer as Pres. where he used the language of "redeemer") than there is for GW; yet JA was, without question, a militant unitarian. GW, like JA, arguably like TJ and JM, believed "Christianity" (whatever its forms) good because they believed "religion" good. In other words, "religion," whatever its forms, helped to make men moral and consequently supported republican self government. GW & the other key Founders were pro-Christianity, not because they believed it true, other religions false, Christ the only way to God, 2nd person in the Trinity, but rather because religion & morality helped make men moral. And as such, if they "ends" (morality) are achieved it doesn't matter the "means" (which religion you profess).
This could (and may) turn into a long, complicated discussion. I'll just note that only one "redeemer" quote of GW exists (and not written by him). I'd argue it's consistent with, not just an orthodox approach to Christianity, but also the approach of Jefferson and J. Adams which argued Jesus redeemed men through his superior moral example, that all good men were Christians (regardless of whether they consciously accepted Christ) that Jesus was not the 2nd Person in the Trinity, but something less than fully God.
"Second, the fact that the statement '[Divine] Author of our Blessed Religion' was compatible with Unitarianism does not get you very far. Even many of my beliefs are consistent with Arianism and I am a born-again Christian!"
I don't think so. Arians believe Christ was NOT God the Son, 2nd person in the Trintiy, but a divinely created and subordinate being to the Father, who is the only God to be worshipped as per the 1st Commandment. My point is the 1783 Circular to the States, the ONLY place you will find in GW's official writings where JC is referred to as "divine" (and only one of TWO places in GW's 20,000 pages of recorded writings where he refers to JC by name or person at all) is not smoking gun evidence of his Trinitarianism.
"Finally, let's not forget that for you to embrace Abercrombie is to reject what was commonly believed about Washington at the time."
And what was commonly believed often turns out to be false. J. Adams was commonly believed to be a "Christian" yet few in the general populace knew that he fervently rejected original sin, the trinity, incarnation, atonement, eternal damnation, infallibility of the Bible, just like Jefferson did.
"Abercrombie's rejection as a potential job seeker, not to mention the source of his pronouncement (that Washington was a deist because he was not a communicant), draw into question the credibility of the statement."
This is to commit the genetic fallacy or to poison the well, in a truth/logic sense. Abercrombie's supposed false "motives" matter not, accordingly (i.e., I might have a bad motive for proving YOU a "born again" Christian, but it doesn't detract from the truth that you are). But if we accept this logical error in argumentation (the genetic fallacy/poisoning the well), we could equally poison Nelly Custis' well (see below). And btw, the words recorded out of Abercrombie's mouth (in a letter that he personally wrote, not what was recounted by Rev. Wilson) did not say "GW was a deist," but rather that GW was not a "real Christian" because he systematically refused to commune and thus seemed not to believce in what the ACT symbolically represented: Christ Atonement (the deistic and unitarian minded Anglicans refused to commune for that very reason).
This is notable b/c GW was NOT a "strict deist" but rather someone who believed in an active personal God, that Christianity (and most other religions) was/were good because they promoted morality, without believing in orthodox Trinitarian doctrine. I think Rev. Abercrombie understood that GW was somewhere between a "strict deist" and an "orthodox Christian."
"Finally, let us not forget that Washington's own niece said that you would do as well to question Washington's patriotism as to question his Christianity."
Three points: 1) She also, in that letter, confirmed GW didn't commune; 2) her understanding of "Christianity" might not have been "orthodox" -- indeed she was writing to Jared Sparks, a "Christian minister" who denied original sin, trinity, incarnation, atonement -- and trying to convince HIM that GW was a "Christian"; she might have been arguing GW was not an atheist or strict deist, period, everything to the right of strict deism (i.e., the unitarianism that JS believed in) is "Christianity"; and 3) you could argue, just as you did with Rev. Abercrombie, that NC had "motive" to argue GW was "Christian," not "something else" and that calls into account HER credibility. She was trying to protect GW's reputation. Of course, to argue this would be to commit the genetic fallacy or poisoning the well. But the SAME DEFENSE could be raised against Rev. Abercrombie's remarks.
Sorry for the late reply (I lost track of this discussion thread).
Two points: 1) GW NEVER referred to God or JC as "our Gracious Redeemer." Those were part of an address by the Continental Congress that GW reproduced for his troops. And 2) the address where GW termed JC as the "[Divine] Author of our Blessed Religion" was not written in his hand AND is consistent with Arianism, a form of unitarianism popular among the Founding Fathers that viewed Jesus as a divine but created and subordinate being. It may even be consistent with Socinianism a form of unitarianism that saw Jesus as 100% man, not divine at all, but on a divine mission.
That your two proofs weren't even written by GW is evidence of how little conclusive proof there is that Washington was a "Christian" in the orthodox Trinitarian sense.
Re his denial of the tenets of Christianity, GW denied the atonement when he systematically avoided communion in his church -- THAT is the simplest explanation, NOT Lillback's convoluted explanation.
I believe GW's minister Dr. Abercrombie over Lillback.
I'm not sure which I enjoyed the most: Your article, or the back and forth comments that followed.
Regardless: I enjoy reading about the who's who regarding Masons, and GW is noteworthy in this regard.
I agree, of course, that "historical research is not an exact science.". However, I am sure that you, Jon, and I inject our wishes into our conclusions. I'm fine with this. We are only human. GW could well have been this that or the other. One thing I am sure of is that what we think he was will not change reality. "On his death, he was proclaimed by most to be a Christian." is evidence, but far from being proof. Constantine was also pronounced a Christian on his deathbed, but the people who made this pronouncement had their interests. We will most likely never know the truth in either of these matters, but ain't it fun to read, research, discuss, and wonder.
Another job well done. Thank you.
"As a deist, why would Washington participate in every ritual of the Anglican tradition, save communion?"
There's more than just communion, GW was also not confirmed in said church when he had the opportunity to do so.
I'd caution you against drawing a false dichotomy between "Deist" and "Christian." There is no question that GW was not a "strict Deist" in the Thomas Paine, Ethan Allen, Elihu Palmer sense. And he also wasn't as hostile to orthodox Christian forces as Thomas Jefferson was. However, the record does NOT demonstrate that GW was someone who believed in original sin, the Trinity, Incarnation, Atonement, Eternal Damnation and infallibility of the Bible. Could one be a "Christian" and NOT believe in these doctrines? If the answer is "yes" than GW was probably a "Christian." If the answer is "no" than GW probably was NOT a "Christian." Not a "Deist" either, but something else, something in between.
Thanks for your responses. I know you're a busy guy so I won't comment further. Enjoy registration... it was always the highlight of my semester. ;)
First, because you mentioned it, what specific events in Washington's life do you regard as being convincing evidence of his Christian faith or living a Christian life?
Second, the default view should always be that a historical figure is an infidel. We then take his/her words and actions into consideration to form a different conclusion, if necessary. When there is not convincing evidence either way, we must assume this default position. I understand this default position may be untenable to secular historians (being a presupposition), but as a Christian it is the most biblical approach.
Finally, while helpful, Webster's 1828 dictionary was published almost 30 years after Washington's death. Could definitions / perspectives have changed within those three decades?
Thanks again for the discussion
Soteriologically, the default view is that Washington was an infidel. I don't ascribe "Christian" to individuals unless there is clear and convincing evidence (i.e. fruit) that their life was lived in obedience to God's Word. Does that clear and convincing evidence exist for Washington?
That being said, if we can't determine conclusively that Washington was a believer, why do we think the fight against the deism hypothesis is worth fighting? So what if Washington believed in God and used Christian terminology? That doesn't make him a Christian, as our previous discussion about Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson point out.
BTW, is it possible that Deism, as practiced in the 18th-Century, was more fluid than we think of it today? Certainly it wasn't in its definitive form. Could it have been more a type of Voltairean Pantheism? If so, is it possible that Washington was in fact a Deist, but not in the sense we hold to today?
From our FB Washington discussion: Can an unbeliever "adhere to the religion of Christianity?" If so, does that make Washington a Christian or prove that he's not a Deist? I would answer no. Of course, it doesn't prove he is a deist either. There must be other evidence. Again, Christianity was the pervasive culture of the time, and it makes sense that individuals wrote using Christian terminology.
Regarding pragmatism, that philosophy was in place in politics long before George Washington was born, most notably in the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli. Consequently, referring to pragmatism and the founding fathers isn't anachronistic.
Finally, regarding Franklin and Deism. If he wasn't a deist, he certainly wasn't a Christian based on his behavior both in the colonies and abroad (reading Mccullough and Isaacson was enlightening).
Wow! Excellent! I read the whole thing and loved every minute of it.

XtremeMac has produced a number of it's Tuffwrap cases for iPhones and iPods and now they have introduced one for the iPad as well. It is available in black, the MSRP is $39.99, and it carries a one year limited warranty.
Tuffwrap for iPad - Installed
The distinctive design on the back of the case is shared by other XtremeMac Tuffwrap products and this design helps to ensure a secure grip. The packaging refers to the content as silicone, but it looks like, feels like, and acts likes a firm rubber. It is very pliable which makes it easy to put on and take off. It is also lightweight.
Tuffwrap for iPad - Back View
Tuffwrap for iPad - Inside View
Using It
I tested this case on my WiFi iPad for several days. As promised, it was very easy to put on and take off and it feels very secure once in place. All the ports are easy to access and the speakers are exposed. It fit easily in a large handbag for carrying. I felt that I had a very firm grip on my iPad when carrying it around. I never felt like it might slip from my hands.
There is no protection for the face of the iPad which was a bit of a worry when I place it in a bag (or backpack). XtremeMac recommends another of their products to protect the face of an iPad using any slip-on style case. The product, Tuffshield Anti-Glare, is reviewed elsewhere in the TMO review section.
Do I Recommend It
I do. This case is not for everyone, but for those who want a no nonsense, durable, sturdy case for their iPad this case is a good investment. All the R & D went into creating a case with a secure fit, good grip, and good bump protection. Notice I said bump protection - if you drop your iPad you are still on your own. Hope someone with a pillow is standing close by.
