My alma mater, The University of Chicago, was recently in the news for an overtly politically correct act for replacing its historic Bond Chapel's pews for Muslims to worship. This act is raising hackles reminiscent of the university's other, recent, tone-deaf decision to demolish the childhood home of former President Ronald Reagan, on its campus, and replace it with a parking lot and a commemorative plaque.
The school, founded by the Rockefeller family in the late 19th century as a Baptist-affiliated institution of higher learning, with an English-style undergraduate college, and German-style graduate research school, today positions itself as completely non-denominational research university.
However, being a non-denominational organization means that the organization is Christian, in terms of values, but does not express its Christianity in a particular form, welcoming all baptized Christians, regardless of denomination. more >>
Pope Francis I has presented himself since his first appearance at the balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square as a simple and humble man committed to the poor, leading observers to speculate that the Latin American leader from Argentina could invigorate faith communities beyond the 1.2 billion Catholics who look to him as pope.
The Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which has more than 40,000 member churches, is among those who believe Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, has the capacity to not only "attract young Latinos who want to do good in the name of Jesus" but also stir up U.S. evangelicals to pursue a deeper commitment to the poor.
"There is something that evangelicals can learn from our Catholic brothers and sisters. We get the vertical right … I think we lack at the horizontal, where the Catholic Church gets it right and we lack," Rodriguez told CP, noting differing Catholic and Protestant views on the doctrines of salvation and justification in his explanation of the "vertical." more >>
The Executive Committee of the Baptist World Alliance met this week to discuss several matters, including that of its ongoing dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church.
Eron Henry, associate director of communications for the Baptist World Alliance, told The Christian Post that the report on the dialogue has still not been finalized. "The report of the dialogue between Baptists and Catholics will be available for public consumption after it has been formally accepted and approved by the BWA General Council in July," said Henry.
"Both the BWA and the Vatican are in the process of approving, adopting or ratifying the report. Until that is done it cannot yet be deemed to be an official document." more >>
The National Council of Churches has announced that it will be shutting down its historic New York office as a means of consolidating its operations.
NCC announced Wednesday that it will leave its office at the Interchurch Center building in Manhattan, N.Y., known by many as the "God Box." Kathryn Lohre, president of NCC, said in a statement that the consolidation was part of the organizational streamlining process the group is undertaking.
"It is important that we honor this moment with reverence and respect for the Council's history as an iconic presence in the beloved 'God Box'," said Lohre. more >>
Several evangelical Christian leaders gave high praise to Pope Benedict XVI for his advocacy for the dignity of human life after hearing about his plans to resign Monday. They chose to focus on common biblical ground shared with some of the Pontiff's beliefs rather than dwell on the doctrinal differences between Catholicism and the Protestant faith.
"As a Baptist Christian, I disagree with Rome on many things, of course, and some of those things relate to the nature of the Petrine ministry, the relationship of the Bishop of Rome to the rest of the church, the merging of civil and ecclesial power, and so on," Russell D. Moore, dean of the school of theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote in a column. "It might surprise previous generations of Protestants, though, that one of the primary emphases of the Vatican in the last generation has been on the dignity and liberty of the human person."
Moore stated that the Pope "has constantly spoken for those whose lives are seen as a burden to society: the baby with Down syndrome, the woman with advanced Alzheimer's, the child starving in the desert, the prisoner being tortured. "These lives aren't things, he has said, but images of God, and for them we will give an account." more >>
Leaders representing the Roman Catholic Church and some American Protestant denominations have signed an agreement in Texas to recognize each other's baptisms.
After about six years of dialogue, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Reformed Church in America, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Christian Reformed Church in North America, and the United Church of Christ signed a document recognizing each other's liturgical rites of baptism.
The five denominations signed the "Common Agreement on Mutual Recognition of Baptism," affirming the baptism agreement on Tuesday evening at a prayer service held at St. Mary's Cathedral in Austin. more >>

12 Effective Ways to Boost Your Kid's Self-Esteem
Self-confidence is important for all children. It's the foundation upon which they base their self-worth and decisions that will one day impact everything they do. Geez, no pressure or anything.
As parents, we worry about instilling just the right amount of confidence in our kids so they'll grow up strong enough to resist peer pressure, yet humble enough that they're not cocky buttheads. It's a delicate balance, really.
Most parents I know use good old-fashioned praise with their children, and while praise is an important part of instilling self-confidence, I often wonder if it's the most effective way. In researching practical methods to boost self-confidence in my introverted child, I learned some really valuable tips worth sharing – check them out after the jump!
For more valuable tips and resources for boosting your child's self-confidence, visit Scholastic, Dr. Sears, and WebMD.
How do you encourage your child's self-esteem?

Whilst I have accused Voyager of villain decay, especially in regards to the Borg, I don't hate that Voyager used them. The Borg were used very well in Scorpion and the concept of Species 8472 was amazing. However, they should've left it there and what Voyager did with the Borg later on Dark Frontier and Unimatrix Zero was terrible.
Same goes for the Q. Voyager's episode "Death Wish" was an interesting, engaging and welcome expansion and exploration of the Q, but it didn't destabilise the Q or ruin them as an enigmatic species. Hell, I rate Death Wish a LOT high than Q's episode in season 1 of DS9 which felt pointless and tacky. It's VOY's The Q and the Grey (and later Q2) that do a grave disservice to the Q.
So basically, I am fine with Voyager revisiting existing Trek species and characters, but they over did it and whilst I am reviewing Voyager to get a fresh perspective, I doubt I am going to change my mind on this issue.
Good points, all.

The District has lost an effort to have a federal judge throw out a class-action suit brought on behalf of nearly 3,000 nursing home residents.
Judge Ellen Huvelle on Tuesday rejected the city's contention that it has complied with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) by providing services to nursing home residents who want to live in the community. The ADA requires states and local governments to provide services to people with disabilities in the most integrated setting possible.
Huvelle ruled that the District's claims fell short of those requirements on several fronts, including that the city has no meaningful plan to integrate nursing-home residents into community settings.
The case, Day v. the District of Columbia, was brought by University Legal Services, AARP Foundation Litigation and Arent Fox LLP.

Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Fri 2nd of October 2009
I think I have a pretty interesting sex life and decided to write about it. The story has a lot of my thoughts and may be slow moving for some.
A little bit about me. I got the idea to write this from an old picture of me winning my award which is detailed in the story. Background; My father was not very nice. I hated him he was verbally and physical abusive. He would always put me down. As a result, as a kid, I was not very confident and I was very shy. Kids made fun of me. I wasn't an attractive little girl. I was always ashamed of my body and tried to cover up my body. This story takes place when I was eighteen back in 1987. Back then I thought I was too heavy but looking back I had a great body. I was na? and I was withdrawn. I looked down avoiding eye contact when I walked through the halls of work. I was soft spoken. I was polite and I was proper. I usually dressed to hide my breasts as I was self conscious about them. I was a size 3 or 5 depending on the dress. I was 5'2" and weighed 95 lbs with 34DD breasts. Everyone always said I had a model's face and that I looked innocent.
Mr. D'Angelo was the director of the department I worked for. I was working for the company for two weeks when I was told to go to his office one day because he wanted to talk to me about career opportunities. He told me that although I got hired, the first 6 months were really a trial period where I would be evaluated. He said so far I have been doing well. He asked me what I would like to do. I didn't know how to respond I just said "I don't know yet." He asked me if I wanted to make a career there. I said that I wanted to eventually move up in the company. Then he asked if I was going back to school. I told him I wasn't planning on going back to school as my high school grades were not that good. He told me it would be hard to get promotions without additional schooling. He said he wanted to continue our discussion but that he had meetings the rest of the day. He said well since it is almost lunch time how about I treat you to lunch and we can continue the discussion. I said ok I just have to go get my coat. He said his car was right outside the building and that we better just get going as he was in a hurry. He drove a big Cadillac with a big bench front seat. As we were driving, he told me I was a very pretty girl and he was curious as to why I would to work at this place. I told him that I heard from my father that it was a good company with good benefits. I was trying my best to sound "adult". I just knew it beat working at the supermarket. Most of the time, I had very little to do. There was more small talk before we reached the restaurant. It was an expensive Italian place. Even though there were parking spaces by the front, he parked in the rear of the lot. I thought that was a little strange. We walked in and the person that seated us knew his name which as I remember impressed me. I ended up ordering chicken parmesan. I wasn't too cultured in eating out at a fancy restaurant. Mr. D'Angelo ordered a bottle of wine as soon as we sat down. I knew that he knew I was only 18. So even though I wasn't legally supposed to drink, I didn't say anything as the waiter poured my glass. He said, "Katherine I can't help but notice that you are very quiet, are you nervous?'". "Maybe a little bit" I said. He asked me if I was the shy type. I said I am a little shy at first with people until I get to know them (which was a little bit of a stretch, I was shy). He said you don't have to be nervous around me and said he thought my shyness was very sexy. I smiled nervously looking away not knowing how to acknowledge what he said. While we were eating he told me about a couple other girls that had worked for him that started in a similar situation as me and now they are in management making good money. I said, hopefully I can do the same. He said it takes hard work plus doing above and beyond in order to separate myself from everyone else. He said those girls did that. Then he asked me if that is what I wanted. I said, "Yes Mr. D'Angelo", thinking to myself who wouldn't want that. He said that's good Katherine. I hated being called that, so I said you can call me Kat if you like Mr. D'Angelo. He said, "Ok Kat, that name suites you better". We finished lunch, I ate like a bird back then and only finished ½ my meal but I did manage to finish 2 1/2 glasses of wine. When we got outside the cold air hit me and I felt a little drunk. Not being use to drinking and weighing only 95 lbs….well you get the picture. When we got back to the car, he didn't start the car right away but instead continued talking. He said, "Kat, you seem like a very smart girl, the kind of girl that wants to succeed, am I right?" "Yes" as I nodded. "Do you want my help?" Sure, I said. He said "well then maybe we can help each other, ok?" I said ok but I am not sure how I can help you. He said well…I can think of a couple ways…and with that, he just looked down at my breasts. I glanced down and realized my nipples were showing through my white blouse so I crossed my arms covering myself up. I was caught off guard and did not know how to react to him staring at my chest. As a result I didn't say anything.
He said, "Don't be so shy. So are you ok with that?"
I said naively, "with what?"
"With helping each other. You want a career and I'll help you. In return all I want is a little bit of …fun…excitement."
I looked away. I was still thinking about what he was saying, "What kind of fun and excitement?"
He said, "You are a very pretty girl with a great figure… let's just say, I really like shy, pretty young girls with hot little bodies". I looked away and was blushing. He leaned over to me in a half whisper and added, "With nice tits". He continued, "See, you are shy, you're blushing as he put his right hand on my knee. You don't even know what to say".
I said "Thanks, as I smiled nervously back at him. "Good", he said as he started to move his hand up and down on my leg then he squeezed my leg right above my knees a few times as he leaned into me. "Fun for me would be to feel those nice tits." That's not too much to ask for, is it Kat? Don't you have to get back for your meeting?, I quickly said trying to change the subject.
"We will have to make it a quick feel then won't we, Ok, Kat?" I actually was a little relieved at that point since all he wanted was a "quick feel" plus I was a little wasted.
"Ok, Kat?" he said again.
"Ok", I meekly replied.
Then his hand left hand reached for right breast. He firmly squeezed my boob. Then he gently moved his hand over my breasts rubbing lightly and focusing on my protruding nipples. His finger circled then pinched my nipple. Then he pinched a little harder. He would squeeze using his whole hand and he was alternating rubbing, squeezing, pinching and pulling.
You have really nice tits, they seem so firm, he whispered in my ear. Are they Kat?
"Yeah", I said very softly.
"I want to see for myself, ok?"
Here? Right now? as I looked around. I don't know… He already had opened the 1st button.
We had a deal Kat, right?
Before I could respond the 2nd button was opened. I shook my head yes. Then the 3rd button.
"You have a beautiful cleavage. So round so perfect…I love lacy bras".
He moved the left strap off my shoulder then the right. I slipped down in the seat in case anyone walked by.
Then he pulled my bra down as both breasts popped out.
"Oh Kat they are so perfect"…then his hand was on my left breast. He squeezed…"ummmm so firm, you are right Kat. I thought they would be perfect and they are."
Thanks Mr. D'Angelo.
What he did before on the outside of my blouse he did again: alternating rubbing, squeezing, pinching and pulling on my nipples. …mmmm…..was my response, as it felt good.
"You like that Kat?"
"Then you will like this even better."
He started gently and slowly circling my nipples with his tongue, he knew what he was doing and it was driving my wild and he knew it.
Mmmmm, as I moaned a little louder. I closed my eyes…..mmm. He would alternate breasts. Then started to suck on them and when he lightly bit on my nipple…ohhhh. Then all of a sudden I felt his hand on my leg, rubbing up and down. He was still nibbling on my nipples. I felt his hand go under my skirt. Even though his sucking on my breasts felt so good, I was thinking about his hand. I had the presence of mind to ask shouldn't we get back to work Mr. D'Angelo?
"Don't worry Kat in a few more minutes".
Ok, we were almost done I reasoned. His hand was moving higher up on my inner thigh as I squeezed my legs together hoping he would retreat. He didn't.
"Kat don't be nervous"
"but Mr. D'Angelo, I shouldn't be doing this with you".
It's ok, now relax…as I did his hand slide upwards…he was now rubbing his right hand on my pussy through my pantyhose and panties. He applied just enough pressure and motion. "mmm" See Kat, this isn't so bad now is it?"
"No"…between his mouth and his hands I was feeling good…
"Feels good Kat?"
Yes… I knew I had a kind of buffer zone as I was wearing pantyhose and panties. I figured he wouldn't go any further and he didn't….as he continued to rub me…"mmmmm"….."ahhh" was all I could say…
He abruptly stopped as he said we better get back to work now. I fixed my skirt, adjusted my bra and started buttoning up my blouse and sitting up. As we drove back to work he said "See Kat you helped me out and now I will help you out. Kat next Friday is the company Christmas party, were you planning on going?
"I don't think so, I heard it is mostly older people and I still don't know that many people here".
"He said, well I'd like you to go it would be good if you did. Just put on a pretty dress. You'll have fun. I'll even sneak you a few drinks".
Ok, Mr. D'Angelo that would be great. Neither one of us spoke until we were back at work.
A couple days later I won an award. Along with the award came a $100.00 check. My immediate supervisor nominated me but I wondered if Mr. D'Angelo had something to do with it.
I did go to the Christmas Party. My mother went to the store with me and picked out a long black dress with shoulders and a slit down the side. My mother always picked out dresses and outfits that highlighted my figure where I tended to shy away from clothes like that. She was my mom and had good taste so I took her advice. I would wear all black from my high heel shoes to my bra, panties and pantyhose. The night of the affair, my pantyhose ripped as I was getting dressed. I asked my mom if she had anything and she came back with a pair of thigh high black stockings. So I wore those. When I left my house my mom said "Katherine you will have to fight off all the men as she laughed and smiled at me. She wasn't kidding. When I got there I had no problems finding people to talk to all be it mostly older men. We have a big company so there were a lot of people at the party. I saw him across the room and he was talking to a group of the "big bosses" as we called them.
It was crowded but then I finally saw him later by the bar. I didn't have the nerve to talk to him. I sat down next to a small table. He walked over and put a drink of orange juice and vodka next to me and said here you go and walked away. That happened a few times during the night. A also got a drink from another guy that was there. So I had a few drinks that night. At one point Mr. D'Angelo walked up to me and said "Kat I need to see you later, I have something I need to discuss with you, meet me out front in 20 minutes"
I wasn't 100% sure what to expect. Was he going to tell me it was a mistake and that we shouldn't have. Did something happen? Did he really want to talk? Or did he want a repeat? If so, was that all I had to do, just let him touch me a little and he would help me or would he want to do more. He was an older man, older than my parents. I was nervous but excited trying to think about what was going to happen.
So when the 20 minutes went by I went out front. Even though it was early December it wasn't all that cold but cold enough. After a few minutes I heard a beep and looked and saw it was his car. He waved and in my high heels I slowly walked down the little hill towards his car. He pulled out of his spot and drove around and picked me up. I slowly stepped into his car keeping my dress in order. His car was nice and warm. He said it wouldn't look good if people saw us together. He said it would be hard for him to help me if that were to happen. I understood. I said we didn't have to talk, I don't want to get you in trouble or anything. He said no it's ok we just have to be careful. He said I don't have too much time as I have to get back home to my wife before it is too late. He drove out of the parking lot. I said where are you going? He said just around the corner where we can have a little privacy.
My mind was thinking about all the different things that could happen. He is married so maybe he really does just want to talk. He pulled in to a side street and parked away from the houses. He turned the car off and told me that I look beautiful. "You are the sexist girl in the room". I said thank you, I really did consider that a compliment because there was a lot of beautiful women there. I said you look very nice too as I thought it was polite to return the compliment. That is when I realized the situation, his suit jacket was off we were on a quiet street. That is when I figured out that by talking about my career he meant a repeat of last time I reasoned. I could do that with him again, I was trying to talk myself into it.
He said so I see you got a $100.00 award, very good… I said that was you right? Me?? Smiling he said, "I am sure you earned it".
Maybe we were just going to talk, I thought to myself.
Yeah, I guess so I worked hard finishing up all the reports on time, not realizing what he meant by earning it (as I said I was naive). He said so you still want my help?, as he slide closer to me. Yeah I said nervously thinking about what that answer may mean. He said "Well prove it"
"Prove it, how?? I said.
Well you can start by lowering that dress and letting me see those perfect tits of yours again.
Start?? What am I getting myself into? I just kind of froze for a second. I thought to myself last time wasn't so bad.
He said turn around, and I did, as he undid the clasp on my dress and pulled the zipper down….in an instance he was undoing the clasp to my bra… I held it in place as he turned me around, he pulled my hands down and then pulled my dress down as my breasts sprung out. (I had perky breasts considering they were so big).
He said black looks good on you against your complexion, ( I am very white skinned.)… He just looked at them in the dim light for a few moments before he went right to work on them just like last time…. After just a few minutes, his mouth was on my nipples and I was mmming and ahhhhing. Even though my dress was long he had managed to get his hand under the slit part and was moving his hand up the inside of my leg. I instinctively squeezed my thighs together. "I don't have much time Kat we did this last time so there is nothing to be nervous about, I am just going to touch you just like last time, ok?
"OK", and I opened my legs and his hands moved upwards. I had forgotten that I wasn't wearing my pantyhose until his hand was on my bare skin. Would he think I did that on purpose?
He stopped and rubbed the bare skin of my inner thigh. "Your skin is so soft."
Then his hand went further reaching my panties. He was feeling the fabric, "satin" I love satin, are they black?
"Yes" I said wondering what he was going to do next to me.
Then he began rubbing me softly up and down and then in circles over my panties. He was still nibbling on my breats and he was so good at it… he was applying more pressure on my spot …mmm….ahhhh….as I unconsciously opened my legs a little wider. He bit down on my nipple. God it felt so good, feeling the simultaneous soft touch on my pussy through the material as his mouth was on my nipples…he began whispering in my ear. "You are so pretty. Do you like me rubbing your little slit through your panties?"
umm, yeah.
It feels good?
Uh huh…
"I can tell you now, your panties are all moist", he whispered.
"You want it to feel even better?"
Yeah… I was just caught up in the moment not really thinking about what he was asking me.
His hand worked its way into my panties.
What are you doing? We can't…we shouldn't…you're married, as I pushed his hand away.
"Kat, don't worry just for a second, ok?
He didn't wait for a response. His hand was inside my panties and his finger found my spot. The same spot I touch when I am being naughty. I opened my legs a little wider.
"Good Girl" he whispered into my ear
He started kissing my neck and nibble on my ear lobe. His hand movements were slow and sensual. I could feel him lightly tracing my pussy lips.
Mmmm, as his hand moved up as he was lightly rubbing the hair above my pussy (I kept it trimmed short.)
"So soft Kat…so soft" His mouth found my nipple again. He was rubbing the outside of my pussy and it was driving me crazy. His finger was now inside my pussy lips.
Ohhhh. I heard myself say.
Whispering in my ear, "Your cunt is so soft and wet"
mmmm, mmmm
His finger found my clit as my legs nervously twitched. Circling…mmmm. He started rubbing a little harder on my clit…he knew my spot.
My eyes were closed, I was enjoying it. "Ooohhh, Mr D'Angelo, it feels sooo good.
"Your panties are in the way" As he reached under my dress with both hands. I lifted my butt up so he could take them off.
His hand went right back to my pussy. He was slowly circling my clit…..oohhh…then up and down…circling…..up and down…nibbling on my ear….mmmmmm…
"Should I stop now?"
"No, don't stop, I replied".
Next his finger was circling at my opening as he was applying light pressure. He would go back and forth between my clit and my opening.
….ooohhhh…..ahhhh as my breathing quickened…
"You aren't a virgin are you?
He pushed his finger deep inside me….ohhhhh….his finger was slowly going in and out. "I love your tight little pussy, it is so tight….
Then he quicken the pace as his finger began fucking me…..ohhhh
Mr. D"Angelo, please stop. I had given myself orgasms but I didn't want to have one in front of him. "I'll stop after you cum. Cum for me Kat"
mmmmmm, oooohhh.
Sensing I was getting close to an orgasm he switched back to my clit and moving his fingers back and forth at a quick pace. I began to breath heavy in short doses.
……ohhhhhhh God!!
Cum for me Kat, cum….
OHHH!!!, AHHHH!! OHHHHHHH as my body quivered…OHHHHHHH...I had my 1st orgasm by a man….
After I came back down to earth, I was embarrassed that I had been so loud. I didn't know where to look. He handed me my panties as I was fixing my bra. I took off my shoes, stepped into my panties and fixed my dress. He sat up and put his finger in his mouth tasting me….
"mmmmm,so sweet"he said as I looked away from being embarrassed.
"Well, I have to get back to the party, he said".

5'2" and 95 lbs is a proper size for a woman to weigh and more women should try to be that size,after all it is what guys like and as a well educated business woman I know what looks good and how to keep a man happy.I do agree that a 32 dd bust size is more realistic.

U were 95 pounds at 18? Bullshit. My lil' bro is 10 years old and he is 80 lbs.

Not bad, but not entirely good. Let's just call this story mediocre. A bit confusing as at one point she claims to ne a non-virgin, then a moment later is having her first orgasm by a man. Does this mean she engaged in sex but failed to have an orgasm previously? Having a manually digitally manipulated orgasm courtesy of a man's fingers is nothing to brag about in a sex story.

Day 3 was a busy day for the draftees and invitees at Capitals Development Camp. Both Group A and Group B were on the ice in the morning, and the whole squad took the ice in the afternoon for a scrimmage. The additional activity made for an extremely long day, one that not only left me exhausted, but also (and more importantly) left me feeling like a full-time member of the media. I also increased my attempts at multi-tasking: interspersing periods of photography with Tweets, especially during the afternoon scrimmage. Day 3 also provided a glimpse into the world of the best PR staff in the NHL when Nate and Kelly invited all the bloggers in attendance to a roundtable to discuss ideas and innovations.

Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
K2 Auto Snowboard Binding
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
o my god magnum
got these about 3months ago and still cant stop raving about them
once i'd stopped playing around with them they just kick ass!
but the most badass thing about these bindings is now i'm a super snake on the hill:-)
total going to get another set for my other board
K2 Rock
Not my favorite
Bought these and have ridden twice on them. Not a huge fan. Probably could've spent more time adjusting them but didn't like lack of toe-strap fine-tuning. Also, with a lot of forward lean, toe-strap makes it a pain to get your foot in. Just bought K2 Formula's cause I don't feel like jacking around with these.
mike wong
K2 Auto's, Da Bomb-diggity
First off, let me say that prior to these, I rocked a set of Burton Step-Ins for the past 6 years.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the convieneience (sp?) of the step-ins and wanted something similar in my next set of bindings.
After looking around, I considered the K2 Cinch CTX, but feared they're weight. Stumbled across the Auto's and never looked back.
Performance-wise, these are GREAT. I've been on them for three straight days in Park City and don't miss my step-ins one bit. They hold my boots nice and secure and the Auto system works as advertised. One strap, and your in (or out) of your bindings ASAP!
Love 'em! These totally make strap-ins worth it. Highly recommeded
And the penguin theme....classy!

In Italian, most verbs end in a common pattern, such as -are, -ere, and -ire. These are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd conjugations respectively.
Present tense (Presente indicativo)[edit]
The present tense in Italian is essentially the same as in English. The only difference is that it can also be used as the present continuous, so "I do" and "I am doing" are conjugated the same way. The English present continuous, however, is expressed in a better way by a more complex construction with the verb "stare" and the "gerundio" form (the English -ing form).
Also note that the subject pronoun can be dropped from a conjugated verb because the ending of the conjugated verb communicates the subject of the action.
Present Tense Conjugations 1, 2 and 3[edit]
A reader requests expansion of this page to include more material. You can help by adding new material (learn how) or ask for assistance in the reading room. |
A reader requests clarification of this page's material to reduce confusion. You can help clarify material, request assistance, or view current progress. |
Category 1 words in the infinitive end in ARE:for example parlare (to speak), gioccare (to play), amare (to love) and so on. Similarly, category 2 words in the infinitive end in ERE: vendere (to sell), vedere (to see). Category 3 words in the infinitive end in IRE. There two (2) subcategories of this case: those requiring no special treatment and those requiring an ISC be inserted prior to inserting the ending. Some authors have classified the second subcategory as class 3 and the first subcategory as class 4, thus reclassifying to 4 cases. Using this method, in class 3 we have: capire (to understand), finire (to finish),preferire (to prefer) and in class 4 we have: sentire (to feel),dormire (to sleep) To conjugate regular verbs follow this method:
- Drop the ending from the infinitive to give the stem.
Eg.: lavorare (to work) → lavor- - Add the correct ending:
Eg.: lavorare → lavor- → lavoro
person | -are | -ere | -ire |
io | -o | -o | -o |
tu | -i | -i | -i |
lui/lei | -a | -e | -e |
noi | -iamo | -iamo | -iamo |
voi | -ate | -ete | -ite |
loro | -ano | -ono | -ono |
So, for example, parlare (to speak) would be conjugated as follows:
- (Io) parlo ("I speak / am speaking")
- (Tu) parli ("You speak / you are speaking")
- (Egli/ella/Lei/Lui) parla
- (Noi) parliamo
- (Voi) parlate
- (Essi/Loro) parlano
Note: Words egli, ella, and essi are older versions of lui, lei, and loro, respectively, but are still used occasionally today.
3rd Conjugation Verbs taking "-isc-"[edit]
Many 3rd Conjugation verbs add the letters -isc- between the stem and the ending for the present tense. This is constructed as follows:
finire(to end/finish)
person | ire | ||
io | -isco | io finisco | |
tu | -isci | tu finisci | |
lui/lei/Lei | -isce | lui/lei/Lei finisce | |
noi | -iamo | noi finiamo | |
voi | -ite | voi finite | |
loro | -iscono | loro finiscono |
Remember that, when followed by i or e, -sc- sounds like the English 'shake' (/ʃ/). If a, o or u follow, -sc- will be read as in the English word 'sky' (/sk/).
The Present Perfect (Passato Prossimo)[edit]
The Passato Prossimo is one of the most commonly used past tenses in Italian. It is a compound tense, therefore the auxiliary verbs avere and essere are used in conjugation. Note that the following conjugations are both irregular.
The Past Participle[edit]
The past participle is used with the verbs avere and essere to form the passato prossimo. To form the past participle, the ending of the verb (-are, -ere, -ire) are changed as follows:
- verbs ending in -are take -ato for their past participle (e.g.: parlare → parlato)
- verbs ending in -ere take -uto for their past participle (e.g.: cadere → caduto)
- verbs ending in -ire take -ito for their past participle (e.g.: finire → finito)
Note that the past participle of avere is avuto and the past participle of essere is stato.
Formation of the Passato Prossimo with Avere[edit]
To form the passato prossimo, you have to use avere or essere plus the past participle. Most verbs take avere for the passato prossimo; all reflexive verbs take essere and a few select verbs of motion take essere.
For now, we deal with the verbs that take avere. First, you conjugate avere for the appropriate subject, then place the past participle after it; an example follows:
Parlare (to speak) | ||
io | ho | parlato |
tu | hai | parlato |
lui/lei | ha | parlato |
noi | abbiamo | parlato |
voi | avete | parlato |
loro | hanno | parlato |
The literal translation of this is "I have spoken", "you have spoken", "he/she has spoken", etc. However, this tense is the main past tense used in Italian and can be loosely translated as "I spoke", "you spoke", "he/she spoke", etc. Note that almost all verbs are conjugated this way with the passato prossimo.
Formation of the Passato Prossimo with Essere[edit]
The passato prossimo is generally conjugated with avere; however there are some situations in which essere is used. Many verbs of motion as well as all the reflexive verbs, require essere.
Some of the most common verbs that take essere are:
- arrivare (to arrive)
- andare (to go)
- uscire (to go out)
- entrare (to enter)
- venire as venuto (to come)
- essere as stato (to be)
- partire (to leave)
- stare as stato (to stay, to be)
- sparire (to disappear)
- tornare (to come back/return)
- nascere as nato (to be born)
- morire as morto (to die)
- rimanere as rimasto (to remain)
Note that irregular past participles are in parentheses.
And before we get to an example, there is just one other difference between essere and avere for the passato prossimo. While in conjugations with avere, the past participle does not agree with the subject, it must in essere.
E.g., when a feminine subject wants to say 'I spoke', she would say 'io ho parlato'. But if she wants to say 'I was', she would use essere and the respective form of the participle: 'io sono stata'. Similar changes occur for plural subjects, such as noi, which can have a past participle ending in -i or -e. An example of a passato prossimo with essere follows:
Nascere (to be born) | ||
io | sono | nato/a |
tu | sei | nato/a |
lui/lei | è | nato/a |
noi | siamo | nati/e |
voi | siete | nati/e |
loro | sono | nati/e |
The Future Indicative (Il futuro indicativo)[edit]
The future indicative is the equivalent of 'will + a verb' or 'be going to + a verb' in English. It is not a compound tense in Italian (it is not formed with avere/essere like the passato prossimo).
The verbs avere and essere are irregular in the future indicative. Their conjugations are:
Regular Verbs in the Future Tense / Verbi regolari al futuro[edit]
The verbs ending by -are and -ere are conjugated by adding the same set of endings for the future indicative. These endings are -erò, -erai, -erà, -eremo, -erete, and -eranno.
The endings for -ire verbs are similar but exactly the same; the difference is that the first e of the ending is replaced by i. Therefore the endings are: -irò,-irai, -irà, -iremo, -irete, -iranno.
There is a small group of verbs whose infinitive ends with -gare or -care. In the formation of the future indicative, these verbs require an h to keep the consistency with the rules of pronunciation. An example of such case follows:
Dimenticare (to forget) | |
io | dimenticherò |
tu | dimenticherai |
lui/lei | dimenticherà |
noi | dimenticheremo |
voi | dimenticherete |
loro | dimenticheranno |

Spider Mites
I only practice organic grading and someone told me about using a mixture of molasses, water, and...??...to quickly bring down and control spider mites. I remember trying it and it worked amazingly well. That was 2-3 years ago and I can't remember or find the mixture recipe. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can you provide the entire recipe? My tepary beans are having some mite issues.

In a prepared statement Jeffords said "Since joining the Village Board in 2011, Sandy Voss has shown a real knack for public policy and has evolved into a knowledgeable, well-respected community leader. I have no doubt that when she is elected by the people of the 58th District she will continue to be a strong advocate for her constituent taxpayers just as she has been here in Richfield for the last three years. Voss said she is honored for the endorsement. She said if elected she will work tirelessly to earn the trust and respect of the residents of Village of Jackson, Richfield, Slinger and West Bend, just as she has worked to earn the trust and respect of her constituents in the Village of Richfield. The Republican partisan primary with Voss, Robert Gannon and Tiffany Koehler will be on August 12th, with the winner moving onto the general election November fourth.

Just Chillin'...
Hi there, I'm a gal who's looking to have a lot of fun in a date/relationship/friendship. I can't resist a guy who loves to have a great laugh and isn't afraid of being goofy. Though I used to do sports competitively for my university, I'm all about playing anything for fun! My favorites at the moment are dodgeball (yes, it's great fun, and the people who run the league consider it a real sport, curiously!), snowboarding, and surfing. Speaking of surfing, I'm in love with anything to do with the beach and the ocean, particularly anything Down Under. Upbeat nights out are awesome, but nothing beats staying in and lounging every once in a while. Honesty, humor, and trust are must-haves. Jealous types need not apply, Life's too short to make excuses for people who question my actions and interactions!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Aerobics, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
Australia is my favorite, I lived there for a while. I'm also a big fan of Hong Kong and Thailand. Places I'd like to go? New Caledonia, Fiji, Madagascar, South Africa, Vietnam.. lots of places!
I am a woman, so I suppose I cannot deny the innate love for chocolate (and other good food!).. For some reason, I'm a sucker for early 90's pop music. Also, I can't resist the fluffy loving goodness of puppies!
Anything snowy or beachy, good eats, singing in the shower, the occasional intellectual debate about whatever... all while spooning! I'm a snuggler!
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown was the last thing I read voluntarily. I'm trying to get working on Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. The Daily Bruin is read just about every morning.

World-Class NLP experts
you want those things, But
our MAIN focus Freedom for you to live your live on your own terms, in your own way, freer from financial stress. Mansions
and helicopters |
If want to earn, receive and accumulate more money, then there are two skills you'll need to master, and the sooner the better.
They are...
1. Managing your mind, attention and feelings
2. Managing your actions — the things you
say and do
That may SOUND simple or obvious, but stop and think about it for a moment.
IS stopping you right now from earning, receiving
and accumulating
the money you want?
If you could snap your fingers and change SOMETHING about yourself so that you were better at making money, what would you change?
NLP is short for "Neuro-Linguistic
It was developed in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who first defined NLP as "the study of the structure of subjective experience." In three decades, NLP has become part of the fabric of business, academia, and the entire self-development field, providing better tools for influence and rapid change. Even our language reflects the ongoing popularity of NLP around the world. Curing a phobias in minutes? Applying the 'secrets of rapport'? There is a reason why NLP has become so popular, and its terminology has become a part of our everyday language. NLP works. |
Before you answer, notice what that question does NOT ask.
It doesn't say, "What would you want if you could have anything?"
It doesn't say, "What job would you want if you could have any job?"
It's about the things IN you that are in the way that you KNOW need changing.
Don't blame the economy.
It's tempting, especially now, to think that the 'hard times' are to blame.
Even if you've been personally affected by layoffs and industry downturns, you STILL have a choice about what to do next.
It's helpful to remember that some of the greatest personal fortunes have begun in times of economic crisis. (Even such mainstays as Apple, MicroSoft, Wrigley's Gum, and Walt Disney World -- began when ecomonies were harsh.)
In fact, ONE of our featured guests created his 5-figure a month business in 2009 -- after "The Great 2008 Recession" started!
Not only that, but he quit his 12-dollar-an-hour housepainter job to make it happen.
first visible act of financial freedom? It wasn't a sports car or
a trip to Tahiti. It was quietly paying cash for his 9-year-old brother's
funeral last year, and being able to to take that burden away from
his grieving and financially strapped mother.)
Put NLP to the test, and prove to yourself that it works.
What's been standing in YOUR way?
Lack of confidence? Lack of persistence? Inability to sell or influence others?
No matter WHAT it is — no matter what problem you think is uniquely standing in your way— NLP can help you make the changes you want to make.
Your Problem | Your Solution(s) | NLP will help you... |

A Vogel Bioforce
A Vogel Centaurium Tincture 50ml
Product Information
Stomach bitters such as Centaurium are used to improve digestion. They do so by increasing both the secretion of digestive enzymes and gut motility. These actions, mediated via the hormone gastrin, enhance the breakdown of food which then helps to relieve symptoms of indigestion such as nausea, flatulence, fullness and gastric discomfort. Alfred Vogel knew that the most effective way in which to benefit from Centaurium, known to herbalists as a stomach bitter, was to take it in liquid form. The organically grown plants used in this remedy are harvested just as they come into flower to create a sharp tasting tincture which Alfred Vogel recommended. What is it used for?
- Indigestion, e. g. acid reflux, acid stomach, heartburn
- Hiatus hernia
- Eating disorders

House of Holland Fall 2013
What would it look like if you dispatched your grandmother to a late-night dance party? That's the question Henry Holland tried to answer with his Fall 2013 collection, a riot of color, pattern, and texture the designer lovingly named "Rave Nanna." The shapes of the clothes themselves are appropriately ladylike, but Holland cut his shift dresses, sweaters, and skirts from wallpaper prints in pink, orange, and avocado green. One shirt cut from the material was paired with a jacket and skirt in an acidic shade of lime. What wasn't patterned, like a green tunic sweater or a midnight-blue dress, was decorated in mischievous symbols like sparkly cigarettes or colorful pills.

%% Please see thread to discuss a new image.
The popularity of ferrets has created a new kind of animal sidekick character, in addition to the old standbys of the loyal, dull Dog and the smart, [[CatsAreSnarkers snarky]] Cat.
The weasel (or ferret) is a cute, mischievous, playful mascot who nonetheless looks out mainly for himself and can be very critical of people around him. He's nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is, and swears up and down he doesn't have to be fussed over. Until he wants to be, and frankly he's not about to turn down free food or attention if it's offered.
Animal mascot personalities normally fall into the Cat or [[AllAnimalsAreDogs Dog stereotypes]] even if the author has tried to use a more exotic animal, like a bird or mouse -- it'll still act like a Cat or a Dog. The Weasel Mascot personality, likewise, may apply to non-mustelids (such as a mongoose or even a squirrel) -- but weasels, otters and ferrets are most common.
A major benefit of the Weasel personality is that it largely reflects the behavior of the real animal. The Weasel can make a good [[DeadpanSnarker ironic deadpan snarker]], without the [[CatsAreMean nasty or untrustworthy streak]] westerners associate with the Cat. There is ''deep'' irony in the contrast between the two because [[WickedWeasel weasels fared differently in older Western works]].
Many magical animal guardians are Weasel mascots, and most Weasel mascots are {{Talking Animal}}s.
* In the first part of a two-part commercial for Energizer batteries featuring Ernst Blofeld from ''Franchise/JamesBond'', the Supervolt Battery Company is unable to keep up with Energizer's success. They tried having their own mascot, the Supervolt Weasel, which was a guitar-playing robot weasel. The Supervolt batteries it ran on [[EpicFail died just after its first strum]].
[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Uzume the ferret in ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi''.
* Kero-chan in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''.
* Yuuno, from ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' is another actual ferret. He's an exception to the character type, thoughhe's a bookish, shy mage that gets nervous and blushes around Nanoha. This is mostly because Yuuno is not actually a ferret, but a 9-or-10-year-old human boy who transforms into such; when this is finally revealed, Nanoha [[BigWhat reacts predictably]].
* Hippo the penguin in ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''.
* Japolo from ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' is a TalkingAnimal BattleButler and would-be MentorMascot. He fancies himself full of important information and sage advice, but in reality his main contribution is [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] and PluckyComicRelief.
* Artemis's playful relationship with Minako in ''Franchise/SailorMoon'''s (versus Luna, who acts slightly more "parental" to Usagi).
* Hisashi Sakisaka, an occasional recurring character in the ''Manga/MidoriNoHibi'' manga, has a weasel sidekick, Tomahawk, on his shoulder at all times.
* Although the series is realistic, and he is an actual ferret, the anime ''IchigoMashimaro'' has John, who belongs to the unbelievably-adorable Matsuri. John is cute, mischievous and playful, but that seems the extent of his Weasel Mascot traits.
* Mepple in ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' has an incredible attitude, and is greedy, picky, and likes to guilt Nagisa into doing things for him.
** Tart from ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'', who insist that he's a 'cute fairy' and speaks with KansaiRegionalAccent. He swings around being responsible (trying to help the Cures) and irresponsible (stealing the Cures' foods like ice cream) at times
* The manga ''PeachFuzz'', where the ferrets are the main characters... at least,''they'' think they are. Their owners think they're just cute pets.
* Used in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', not that you'd be able to tell: the "Art of" book tells us that the character Lin is supposed to be a [[HumanityEnsues transformed weasel]]. She's sarcastic but sweet and quite cute.
* Chamo from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' (with DirtyOldMan tendencies to boot!).
** He would like to remind you [[InsistentTerminology he's an ermine]], thank you very much.
** [[spoiler:There is a specific punishment for mages in ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'': temporary transformation into an ermine. It is never stated directly, but some lines may imply that Chamo-kun did undergo such a penalty. Nevertheless, Chamo-kun always claims he is a regular ermine and mentions about his ermine family. He also revealed that he was banned from his home country for [[PantyThief stealing panties]] from his girl ermine companions. This may be somewhat true. Just don't [[InternetBackdraft try to make a definite claim]].]]
*** In the manga, he's pretty specific at several points in explaining he's an ermine sprite, which is where most of his powers -- such as forming pactios and being able to read peoples' emotions -- come from. He fled to Japan to find Negi [[spoiler:to get him to hire him as a familiar so he wouldn't be punished for his panty theft.]]
*** [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming What? But he]] [[TearJerker stole them to build a warm nest]] [[BlatantLies for his sister...]]
* Rafra from ''Anime/InfiniteRyvius''.
* In ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', Team Gurren has Buta!
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Arguably, Ash's (previously Dawn's) Buizel is one of these despite the actual mascots being the [[RodentsOfUnusualSize Rodent of Unusual Size]] and the adorable [[SpotlightStealingSquad yet overused]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Penguin]]. It initially followed in the tracks of previous {{Badass}}es Charizard and Sceptile, and did a very good job of it early on despite being a RidiculouslyCuteCritter. Unfortunately, it hit [[BadassDecay a losing streak]] later on.
** In its first appearance, Buizel was the mascot of the traveling troupe in ''Anime/PokemonRangerAndTheTempleOfTheSea'' and was the most prominent Pokémon until Manaphy appeared.
** Oshawott is the new mustelid on the team in ''Black and White''.
* OkojoSan from the titular manga and the anime SiawaseApartment's Okojo-san is an ermine. He can't talk to people, but he can to the other animals in the apartment complex.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': While technically not a weasel, Kon sure has the personality for it.
* In the new manga adaptation of ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', Minmay has one of these, a bizarre rabbit/weasel hybrid that probably doesn't exist in nature.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': During her BigDamnHeroes moment, Temari uses her fan to summon an eyepatch-wearing, scythe-wielding weasel named Kamatari that brings with it a massive swath of destruction against Tayuya.
** [[DontExplainTheJoke Which to anyone who knows Japanese is a pun on the word "Kamaitachi", which means "slicing wind", but "Kama" and "Itachi" means "sickle" and "weasel" respectively.]]
* Einstein the ferret in ''Alien from the Darkness'', whose main hobbies appear to be searching for fish and molesting its female owner. It's also an [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Ferret]], able to sence when someone is possessed by the evil alien.
* Candy from ''Manga/CandyCandy'' has a pet raccoon called Clean.
* Kyubey from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. Given [[{{Deconstruction}} the nature of the show]] it's a subversion. There's [[ManipulativeBastard a good reason]] that a good chunk of the show's fans don't trust him at all. [[spoiler:WickedWeasel, [[http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/AthenAltena/kyuubeyaaah.png after all]]. He seems to be less of a subversion by the end of the show.]]
** ZigZagged going into ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion''. Turns out [[spoiler:he never stopped being the evil git he is, and if anything his "amending" conversation with Homura only gave him the idea to exploit her to bring back the old witch system]].
* Seamus the pooka from ''ComicBook/BlueMonday''.
* Spip, ''ComicBook/SpirouAndFantasio'''s snarky squirrel.
* Played with in ''GetFuzzy'' with Bucky's silent ferret nemesis, Fungo Squiggly.
[[folder:Fan Works]]
* In reference to his BalefulPolymorph in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'', some fan fiction makes [[DracoInLeatherPants Draco Malfoy]] a ferret animagus.
* ''FanFic/GuardiansOfPokemon'' has a pair of these, Jupei and Ki. This is not surprising as the author has stated that the fic was inspired by [[RuleOfThree three]] anime: ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' (of course), ''Anime/SailorMoon'', and ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''.
[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* Wilma, a singing GenkiGirl weasel from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlightBeforeChristmas''.
[[folder:Films -- Live Action]]
* Kodo and Podo (aka "The Weasel Hankies") from ''Film/TheBeastmaster'' are a ferret duo that aid the main character Dar on his quests.
* ''Film/AlongCamePolly'' features a pet ferret that often appeared in promotional material, despite having very few scenes in the movie.
* Mr. Kimble has a pet ferret ([[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger pronounced "fyeuwr-it"]]) that he uses to calm down his class in ''Film/KindergartenCop''. The ferret even saves Kimble's hide by putting a well-timed bite on the BigBad in the climactic showdown.
* In ''Film/StarshipTroopers'', Karl psychically commands his ferret to go bug his mother so his pet will stop begging for his attention.
* In ''Literature/HisDarkMaterials'', Lyra's shapeshifting dæmon, Pantalaimon, often takes the shape of a weasel; he settles as a [[spoiler:[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Marten Pine Marten.]]]]
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'' has Jarveys, smart-talking (very large) magical mustelids.
** Mr. Weasley's Patronus is a weasel.
*** His twin sons, Fred and George, have otters for their Patronuses. As does Hermione. (No wonder [[spoiler:she married into the family]].)
* ''Literature/TheAreasOfMyExpertise'': "Let's use my ferret to steal that diamond."
** ''Literature/MoreInformationThanYouRequire'': "New ferret, same old con."
** Taken to its logical conclusion with a mounted ferret skeleton on the back cover of the DarkerAndEdgier finale, ''Literature/ThatIsAll''.
* Ozzie from ''Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic'' is an elf who was magically transformed into a ferret. Besides being more goofy than snarky, he's pretty much this trope exactly.
* The title character of ''Zucchini'' is a boy's pet ferret. The book was later adapted on ''WesternAnimation/CBSStorybreak''.
* In ''Literature/{{Spellbent}}'', Jessie Shimmer's magical familiar is a DeadpanSnarker ferret named Palimpsest.
* The ferret has become something of an unofficial mascot for ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'', due to Angela's off-hand warning to Roran: "Watch out for ferrets."
* ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}} creator Scott Addams wrote a book about how the unscrupulous and sociopathic can thrive in the office called ''The Way of the Weasel''.
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* The announcer on ''Series/LateNightLiars'' is a weasel.
* In ''NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' an actual weasel supposedly infests Polk Middle School (whose ''official'' mascot is a wolf), and is the bane of the janitor's existence. It turns out to be [[spoiler:[[MonsterIsAMommy pregnant and looking for a nest]]; it and its young are then adopted as second mascots by the moved janitor]].
** The weasel [[DorkHorseCandidate ends up elected]] as [[CaligulasHorse the class president]], over several more-qualified human candidates. (Actually, "more-qualified" is debatable...)
* ''TheLateLateShow with Creator/CraigFerguson'': "Do we have a [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WrKY10IR-ng/TLuTrEYzcTI/AAAAAAAANhs/FFkxPmo0a-0/s1600/craig+ferret+1.jpg picture]] of me with my ferrets?"
[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* Poink on ''TheFundayPawpetShow'' is sleazy, low down, and basically the show's comedic ChewToy.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* Koppa from ''VideoGame/ShirenTheWanderer''.
* Daxter, after being turned into an [[MixAndMatchCritter ottsel]], from the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' series. While he's not technically a weasel, he ''is'' a combination of two different kinds of mustelid: a weasel and an otter.
* VideoGame/{{Torchlight}} launched with the choice of a dog or a cat as the character's animal partner, but a later official mod added a ferret as a third option. It has also been officially added as a pet choice in ''VideoGame/TorchlightII''.
* Kiki was Alpha Creations Softworks' mascot during the '80s.
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Kiki from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. Although her GenkiGirl attitude may make her a subversion.
* Wendy Weasel from ''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/Cwens_Quest/ Cwen's Quest]]'' plays straight (wo)man/big sister to titular character Cwen and keeps Cwen humble.
* Menjou from ''Webcomic/{{Candi}}'' -- who adds the "embellished" to the comic's LifeEmbellished nature due to being telepathic, telekinetic and at war with the local Squirrel Mafia. His "girlfriend", Snowflake the albino squirrel, is his DistaffCounterpart (swapping psi powers for EyeBeams).
* Corasyn from ''NothingComesNaturally''.
* Annie from Demon of the Underground. She was found in Pogo's pants and took on a group of mooks while he was busy.
* The Wulfenbach Bug Squad (more officially known as the Vespiary Squad) of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has this as one of their hats. Their charges are all [[ForScience modified weasels]], without which the Squad could not do their job as detectors and exterminators. Although they have eight legs, they ''are'' still, very much, weasels of some description. And, they are sooo cute (for a given definition of cute).
** Agatha herself has acquired one after Tarvek rescued several from a crashed Vespiary Squad airship.
* Tragia from ''Webcomic/TheSecretLivesOfFlowers''. Being the main character, he defaults as this.
* Ferret from ScooterAndFerret.

* WebVideo/PeanutButterGamer has his ferret, Pixel. She doesn't show up too often in videos, but she steals the show.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Rufus from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', though actually a naked mole rat.
* Though really more of a "Winged Lemur", Momo from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Behaviorally, there's a lot of cat in him -- specifically, [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Bryan Konietzko's cat]].
* Pabu from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' (a sequel to ''Avatar'') is a [[MixandMatchCritters fire ferret]] -- a combination of a ferret and a red panda. Yes, [[RuleOfCute it's as adorable as it sounds]].
* Nils from the series ''NilsHolgersson'' has a hamster sidekick called Krumel who usually provides the voice of reason.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAnimalsOfFarthingWood'' features the character Weasel, who is actually a rather sarcastic, selfish DeadpanSnarker.
* Evelyn the evil witch has a pet weasel that she wears around her neck like a stole in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' episode "Gargamel's Sweetheart".
[[folder:Real Life]]
* Ferrets do indeed tend to have very hyperactive and playful personalities in real life, with a special emphasis on ''hyperactive'', which is something to keep in mind for households with small children; they're either asleep or bouncing off the walls, and what between playful ferrets would be an inconsequential nip might easily break a child's skin.
** They also like to chew on things, so by all means don't leave your leather goods within their reach. Or your keys. Or socks. Or shoes, potatoes, beer bottles, napkins, things made out of rubber, anything spherical, anything shiny (''especially'' anything shiny), anything that tastes good (and you'd be amazed what a ferret thinks tastes good), anything that bounces or makes an interesting noise, anything that'll fit under a couch, anything you'd be upset to lose for several months and then rediscover decorated with tiny toothmarks...compared with the effort that goes into defending one's chattels from marauding mustelids, child-proofing a house is dirt-simple.
* Oh, and they're called "mustelid" for a reason; that word shares a root with "musk", and indeed they do have an odor, which some find pleasant and others find intolerable. And they tend to nip, and even the best of them defecate in corners, and most of the ones you find in the United States are severely inbred and thus prone to dying badly of cancer after six or seven years. In general, they're adorable little monsters if you've got the personality to put up with them, but they're definitely not for everyone.
