This is a major cause for celebration.  Thankfully there will be plenty of fireworks detonated today in her homeland to commemorate this event.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Critttter is one of my favorite sifters.  She finds some of the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Pink-Floyd-See-Emily-Play&quot;&gt;coolest&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Dave-Brubeck-Take-Five&quot;&gt;old&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Waiting-For-The-Man-Velvet-Underground&quot;&gt;musical&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Lionel-Hampton-Flying-Home&quot;&gt;gems&lt;/a&gt; just to remind us that there actually was music before &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Scientists-Warn-Miley-Cyrus-Will-Be-Depleted-by-2013&quot;&gt;Miley Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;.  Not that rusty classics are the only videos she posts.  She's given us:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Nembutal-Fest-with-the-Cramps&quot;&gt;Rock concerts at mental institutions&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Irans-Billion-Dollar-Underground-Art-Gallery&quot;&gt;Billion-dollar underground art museums&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Flying-Steamroller&quot;&gt;Flying steamrollers&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Naked-Swedish-Artillery&quot;&gt;Naked Swedish soldiers&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/107-Year-Old-Lightbulb&quot;&gt;107 year-old light bulbs&lt;/a&gt;, and her&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/L7-Shitlist&quot;&gt;Shitlist&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I always enjoy reading &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/search?q=&amp;t=c&amp;u=critttter&amp;o=hivotes&amp;vmin=&amp;vmax=&amp;l=&amp;n=&amp;b=&amp;submit=Search&quot;&gt;her comments&lt;/a&gt; too.  Sometimes I swear she's really a man pretending to be a woman, because everyone knows that the fair sex is &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/member/critttter&quot;&gt;biologically not funny&lt;/a&gt;.  I'd really hate to find out that all this time I've been laughing at the remarks of a *gasp* woman. &lt;img src=&quot;http://static1.videosift.com/videosift/i/emoticon/wink.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So give it up for critttter, one of the most interesting and entertaining members I've found in my time here.&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; - kronosposeidon&lt;/b&gt;</description>

As a brand new member to the society, this is a huge gain for our Videosift population.  I personally like her &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Whose-Line-is-it-Anyway-Sound-effects-Indiana-Jones&quot;&gt;Whose Line&lt;/a&gt; content best, but she also has some nice &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Fearless-puppy&quot;&gt;cute puppies&lt;/a&gt;. Let's all hope she sticks around for a long time to come.  A nice &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/member/mintbbb/pqueued&quot;&gt; pat on the back&lt;/a&gt; would be welcome, I'm sure.  *nudge*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; - randomize&lt;/b&gt;</description>

Don't really care if she's tea-toatllin',reformed and born-again from a life a hard knocks, some Oxford trash with an attitude, or some circuit court judge inna a vendetta-kinna-mood for all black males, you love her and you know it......how many moms we got here, and how many buns in the oven???....&lt;br /&gt; Swampgirl, yer a mom? Happy today and what about we say thanks for the few and brave??-(at least in the U.S. anyhow)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; -Swampgirl say:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &quot;Doesn't matter how old we are or how independent we feel... we all have one that made us and/or raised us. There's a sweet little old lady in S.C. tonight that locked her doors, turned off the coffee pot, said her prayers for me and my brothers and went to bed, and no matter how I think or feel about her religion or politics.. I know her love for me is as pure as it gets. She's my mom! She thinks about my well being every day .&lt;br /&gt; I know this because I feel the same way about my children. They are going to grow up and leave, and they will know ...that no matter what. there's gonna be this little old lady thinking about them and their happiness back home... Well it will be like that except there will probably be bourbon instead of coffee.&quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; -Add yer best for mom, best behavior, and don't say cuss words...unless yer mom does-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; - choggie&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;map name=&quot;google_ad_map_20080705135012&quot;&gt;

IssyKitty gets her 500th star point!  Valued member since August of '07 Issy has made her mark on the Sift in both culture and content.  I have been a disciple of Iss the Great, since our initial exchange was the first time the internet really talked back nicely to me. I am a student of the IssyKitty school of comment upvoting, which is if you have something nice to say, say it.  If not prepare for a scratchin'!  A little rundown on what it is to be Issy:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;small&gt;First (and characteristic) comment on the Sift:&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href='http://www.videosift.com/video/Puppy-and-Kitty-Love#comment-202265'&gt;^Issykitty&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Yes, agree with twiddles... the annoying grating sounds of the bipeds were highly distracting from fully enjoying cuteness.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;small&gt;Her first Sifted Submission (I think):&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Pavarotti-Non-tamo-piu-by-Tosti&quot;&gt;http://www.videosift.com/video/Pavarotti-Non-tamo-piu-by-Tosti&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;small&gt;Highest Rated:&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.videosift.com/video/Small-House-Seems-Spacious&quot;&gt;http://www.videosift.com/video/Small-House-Seems-Spacious&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; She had the astoundingly good idea for a *happy channel a couple of months ago, and it's proven to have a lot of use.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Here's the key to Issydom, though: instead of running your mouth all the time, hunker down and get to voting. Look at these stats:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Votes Cast: &lt;b&gt;8993&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Comments Posted: &lt;b&gt;1958 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So let's congratulate Queen IssyKitty on her silver diamond coronation!  But remember, be nice!&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; - schmawy&lt;/b&gt;</description>

Monica Brown was awarded the Silver Star for treating wounded soldiers under fire after their convoy was attacked in Afghanistan, and is only the second woman to receive the award since World War II. Despite her heroics, she was pulled from combat missions because of gender.&lt;br /&gt; &quot;We weren't supposed to take her out&quot; on missions &quot;but we had to because there was no other medic,&quot; said Lt. Martin Robbins, a platoon leader with Charlie Troop, 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, whose men Brown saved. &quot;By regulations you're not supposed to,&quot; he said, but Brown &quot;was one of the guys, mixing it up, clearing rooms, doing everything that anybody else was doing….&quot;&lt;br /&gt; In addition to the article, here’s a &lt;A rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; HREF=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7miCKfvWeA&quot;&gt;CBS interview &lt;/A&gt; with Brown and Katie Couric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; - firefly&lt;/b&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://static1.videosift.com/avatars/e/Eklek.jpg&quot; width=&quot;125&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(14 comments - 920 views)&lt;br /&gt;I found these 2 long articles in the City Journal about the daily lives of  contemporary young women and men (and female and male sexuality) rather striking: The New Girl Order (2007) and Child-Man in the Promised Land (2008)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Women&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; -The New Girl Order (Kay S. Hymowitz, Autumn 2007)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_4_new_girl_order.html&quot;&gt;http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_4_new_girl_order.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; about Single Young Females (SYF), women aged between 18-34 without mortgage/husband/children.&lt;br /&gt; Excerpt: &quot;an international lifestyle is born. One of its defining characteristics is long hours of office work, often in quasi-creative fields like media, fashion, communications, and design—areas in which the number of careers has exploded in the global economy over the past few decades. The lifestyle also means whole new realms of leisure and consumption, often enjoyed with a group of close girlfriends: trendy cafés and bars serving sweetish coffee concoctions and cocktails; fancy boutiques, malls, and emporiums hawking cosmetics, handbags, shoes, and $100-plus buttock-hugging jeans; gyms for toning and male-watching; ski resorts and beach hotels; and, everywhere, the frustrating hunt for a boyfriend and, though it’s an ever more vexing subject, a husband.&quot; (...)&lt;br /&gt; “Their favorite topic of conversation is, of course, relationships: men’s reluctance to commit, women’s independence, and when to have children.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Men&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; -Child-Man in the Promised Land (Kay S. Hymowitz, Winter 2008)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.city-journal.org/2008/18_1_single_young_men.html&quot;&gt;http://www.city-journal.org/2008/18_1_single_young_men.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; about SYM/child-men, men aged between 18-34 without mortgage/wife/children.&lt;br /&gt; Excerpt: &quot;give young men a choice between serious drama on the one hand, and Victoria’s Secret models, battling cyborgs, exploding toilets, and the NFL on the other, and it’s the models, cyborgs, toilets, and football by a mile&quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; - Eklek&lt;/b&gt;</description>
