MSC Armonia Cruise Review by gingersnapp: DISAPPOINTED!
Member Rating
Compare Prices on MSC Armonia Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruises
We chose a ship for the itinerary and time of year. MSC fit that category and also thought it would be interesting and an experience to cruise on an Itaian Ship. I have always enjoyed the Italian culture and personality as warm and passionate; yet this was profoundly missing.
The high majority of the reception & accounting staff were rude, un-concerned about their passengers and completely un-pleasant. This is a service industry and they should enjoy their career or choose another. Perhaps a behind the scenes desk job.
On another note, our cabin steward and waiter were excellent and always considerate and pleasant and deserved the tips.
The ship and rooms were clean and well-engineered for space; exceeded our expectations.
The food was mediocre; yet not as important to us as the ports of call. If quality of food is important to you, note that just about everything was of sub-standard fare, altho it was presented well.

Dear Friends,
Healthy, Happy Babies! We have been working nonstop to transform the future, one baby at a time!
The reality that Guatemala has the highest level of childhood malnutrition in this hemisphere, 4th in the world is shocking and horrifying. At this moment, so many babies do not have adequate nutrition to grow and thrive, leaving the children stunted, or short short in stature for their age. This translates into children who appear to be 5 but are actually 7 or 8 years old.
You can see our exciting malnutrition program at work by empowered women in our communities!
It is not the short stature specifically that we are worried about, it is the fact that the loss of these inches directly correlates to lower IQ, it means slower development and missing milestones as an infant and toddler, milestones that I look for in my own daughters ages 4 and 1. Malnourished children will be slower to walk, slower to talk and to read. They will have difficulty focusing in school resulting in a much lower life long income earning potential. These children will never reach the potential that so many of us take for granted in our own children.
But there is incredible Hope and Success!
With your help and support, we at Maya Health Alliance - Wuqu' Kawoq, have created a mobile primary health care system that saves lives through excellence and quality. Our nutrition program places baby and mom as critical actors to changing the future of Guatemala. Our Child Nutrition program provides universal nutritional and micronutrient supplementation to all children from 6 months of age onward and to all pregnant and lactating women. We also focus on educating child caregivers about breastfeeding, complementary foods, common childhood illnesses, hygiene and clean water through our community-based nutrition education classes. Additionally, the foundation for all of our nutrition programs is the provision of good primary care for children. Children with complex needs are immediately referred to our surgical or special needs programs.
We have helped over 2000 children this year and educated 500 mothers on Nutrition and Women's Health topics. I wanted to share these very exciting successes with you.
See our nutrition research here!
We are working to #EndMalnutrition and #GrowGuatemala to transform the future of Guatemala. Thank you for your continued support of our work.
With gratitude,
Anne Kraemer Diaz
Executive Director
Dear Friends,
We often hear about Impact, but do we really know what it means?
Impact is important yet difficult to measure, and it can be even more difficult to really see. We are thrilled to bring you Gustavo, a baby boy who is growing and thriving because of donors like you!
In December, when Gustavo was almost 3 months old, he was malnourished and not growing at all. His mother was doing everything she could by nursing him, purchasing formula when she could and giving him all the love possible, but it wasn't enough.
Mom could not produce enough milk to help Gustavo grow and formula costs were so high for this poor family. When she came to us, Gustavo was at his birth weight, even though he was almost 3 months old. We knew action had to happen quickly in order to save him!
We began an intensive nutrition and education intervention. First, we learned about mom and her situation during a home visit. We learned that she had the most heart wrenching situation, she has lost a baby 2 years earlier in a similar situation as Gustavo. We quickly started Gustavo on the path to health with nutritional supplementation, education for the family, and close oversight from our team. Your partnership with us enabled our team to find this baby and provide him with education and initial life saving treatment.
We also partnered with our friends at Watsi who helped us to fund Gustavo's continued life saving care as he is not from one of our primary health care commnuities. Overall, we excited to link donors and organiations together to save lives! We are extremely thrilled with Gustavo's growth and beautiful smiles!
Thank you for saving a life today! I look forward to bringing you more success stories soon!
TweetWe have launched a new intervention to aggressively intervene with home visits for severely malnourished children.
As usual, we weigh and measure all the children under five years of age in our communities. We then chart the children's growth on World Health Organization curves for height and weight. When a child's growth appears alarming, we then try to figure out what's going on and how to fix it.
Remember, stunting is diagnosed when a child is short for their age. When you see stunted children, they look like healthy, plump little kids until you realize that they are really short and look about 6 months younger than they should appear. Guatemala has one of the highest rates of stunting in world and the highest rate in the Western Hemisphere.
Does it Matter is someone is a bit shorter?
You may think, "Does it matter if someone is a bit shorter?" Well, after fifty years of follow-up, the INCAP Nutrition Study has found that, as they grow up, children who were stunted have decreased school performance, reduced cognitive skills, higher probability of living in poverty, and some significantly worse health-related outcomes such as number of pregnancies in women. Think of this: A child whose height improves by one standard deviation at age three (e.g., going from from the 0.1 percentile to the 2.5 percentile) will earn on average 20% more money per year as an adult and will be 10% less likely to be poor.
The New Intervention: In Home, One-on-One education and Food Supplementation
In this new intervention, we identify the kids under age two that are "severely falling off their growth curves." We then make a visit to their homes, speak with their family, and conduct a medical work-up. We work to rule out things like hypothyroidism, congenital diseases, and parasites, and if children do have these–or any other–conditions we treat them. We send them for laboratory testing, imaging, and even surgery if they need it. We also give the child deworming medication and vitamins. We also focus heavily on one-on-one education with the family and mother on how to provide the best food and nutrition for their child.
We are particularly sensitive to the time when the child turns six months old, as this is the window when complementary foods should be given in addition to breastfeeding. Due to both economic considerations and education, many mothers delay the onset of complementary feeding or give foods that are very low in nutrients. Often, we see that children are growing just fine until they reach 6 months of age, at which point they basically stop growing.
In the "small picture," the intervention is exciting because we think we can really influence the individual children in our care. We will evaluate this new program as we move forward and report back to you.
Our Harvard medical student David working with the program says, "I must also confess that I love visiting these children. They are so fragile, so small, so innocent. They have so much more living to do, but their future is at stake. Thankfully, we have some tools to help. I can't think of anything that could be more worthwhile."
Thank you friends for your amazing support. Together, we are saving lives and creating better futures!
TweetDear friends, as I've written to you frequently over the last few years, we've been working hard to complement the core activities of this program, which include medical care and nutritional supplementation, with additional educational and support activities for mothers and fathers of young children.
Although education can't solve all problems, it is an important part of a comprehensive solution. For example, in a report we recently published (see the link below), we discovered that many parents struggled to understand the manifestations of chronic malnutrition in their children and, therefore, tended to present late for medical evaluation. Similarly, although most parents understood the need to feed their toddlers complementary foods starting at 6 months of age, they were less likely to appreciate the importance of meal frequency and a diverse range of food groups for their children's health.
Therefore, this year, our health promotion staff have launched an exciting range of new educational activities, which include dynamic small group classes and also individualized home visits. We've seen really positive changes in health behaviors and knowledge as a result. For example, when we tested parents knowledge before and after their participation, we discovered that, before participation, only 45% of parents felt well prepared to care for children with an episode of acute diarrhea. After participation, that number increased to 71%. As another example, before participation, only 52% of parents had a good sense of how frequently a young child should consume solid foods; after participation, this number increased to 81%.
Most importantly, our staff have been conducting followup evaluations of dietary quality in the children of participants. We are seeing that, after participations, children are consuming more food and more diverse foods as a result of their parents' new knowledge!
In conjunction with our ongoing medical care programs, growth monitoring, and nutritional supplement, we are really excited to see the additional accrued benefit of education to our communities as these programs continue to unfold this year.
TweetDear Friends,
This is just a really quick note to let you know about two things.
First, as I talked about in our last project report, data from some of our communities is in and very encouraging, showing 50% reductions in rates of malnutrition. To follow up on this, I wanted to let you know that we've just released the final report of our study of factors associated with malnutrition. We are using the data in this study to make small changes to our programs, especially in the area of parent education, in order to achieve even better results. If you are interested, you can read the entire report at this link here.
Furthermore, I wanted to let you know that Global Giving is having a Matching Funds Campaign on June 12. Because we are a "Superstar" ranked organization, this means that all donations to any of our projects on June 12 will be matched 50%! You can see the list of all of our current projects here. Pass the link on to your friends and colleagues!
Thanks as always for your amazing support and interest in our work.

Characteristics of foraging in the soft-bottom benthic starfish Luidia clathrata (echinodermata: Asteroidea): prey selectivity, switching behavior, functional responses and movement patterns

Luidia clathrata show a strong preference for the infaunal bivalve Mulinia lateralis in Tampa Bay, Florida. Quantitative and qualitative changes in diet occurred over a 7-month period. Individuals may shift from intraoral macrofaunal feeding to intra- and extraoral detrital feeding during periods of low macrofaunal availability. In the laboratory L. clathrata showed switching behavior, feeding disproportionately on the most abundant of two simulataneously presented food models. This switching mechanism may be related to either contact-chemoreceptive rejection of lowdensity food or enhanced distance-chemoreception of high density food. The use of standardized food models eliminated the possibility that handling time was important in switching behavior. Both fed and starved individuals showed functional responses to changes in prey density. However starved individuals ingested greater numbers of prey and spent more time foraging than did fed individuals. Switching and functional response behaviors may be important in promoting nutritional uptake and in causing density-dependent mortality of prey populations. Movement patterns of L. clathrata are directional in the absence of bivalve prey, but become non-directional once patches of prey are encountered. This allows individuals to remain in areas of high prey density. Luidia clathrata has characteristics of an optimal forager, where energy is maximized per unit feeding time.

Cough CPR is the subject of a hoax email that began circulating in 1999.]citation needed[ It is described as a "resuscitation technique" in which through prolonged coughing and deep breathing every 2 seconds, a person suffering a cardiac dysrhythmia immediately before cardiac arrest can keep conscious until help arrives (or until the person can get to the nearest hospital). Neither the American Heart Association nor the American Red Cross endorses cough CPR during a heart attack.[1].
This confusion appears to revolve primarily over the public's failure to discriminate between a heart attack, cardiac arrest and cardiac dysrhythmias. A heart attack occurs when an occlusion (e.g. blood clot) of an artery in the heart slowly causes tissue to die. This can result in chest pain and discomfort, and requires immediate medical attention to resolve the occlusion by emergency surgery or cardiac clot-busting drugs. A cardiac dysrhythmia is primarily an electrical problem within the heart, and is sometimes treated with electrolytes, vagal maneuver, or electrical cardioversion. Many dysrhythmias may herald an impending heart attack.]medical citation needed[
A cough medicine (or linctus, when in syrup form) is a medicinal drug used in an attempt to treat coughing and related conditions. For dry coughs, treatment with cough suppressants (antitussives) may be attempted to suppress the body's urge to cough. However, in productive coughs (coughs that produce phlegm), treatment is instead attempted with expectorants (typically guaifenesin, in most commercial medications) in an attempt to loosen mucus from the respiratory tract.
There is no good evidence for or against the use of these medications in those with a cough. Even though they are used by 10% of American children weekly, they are not recommended in children 6 years of age or younger because of lack of evidence showing effect and concerns of harm.

Save the DBS Class 90s
Thankyou for taking the time to access this petition. The key function of this petition is to try and pursuade DBS that their making a big mistake by taking a handful of class 90 locomotives off sleeper duties, only to be exported to Romania as well as an unknown quantity of DBS 90s currently in store. The critical issue at the moment is the small window of opportunity that is open at the moment to try and pursuade DBS that their making a big mistake by taking a fleet of versatile electric locomotives and exporting them to Romania. Please sign this petition, to show your support for this critical cause - I have nothing to lose by trying other than the possibility of a number of versatile BR class 90 engines going to waste.

With a coauthor, I am involved in a project which in part attempts to assess the effect of assigning judge A versus judge B to outcomes at the trial level in criminal cases. I've begun a literature search on this, and it seems like most attention thus far has focused on the sentencing stage (particularly relating to the controversy over the federal sentencing guidelines), and that few authors have used what one might call modern or cutting edge causal inference thinking. Can anyone out there help here? I'm I missing important studies?

"Taking Person, Place, and Time Seriously in Infectious Disease Epidemiology and
Diffusion Research"
Devon D. Brewer, University of Washington
Thursday, April 5, 2007
12:00 - 1:30 p.m.
CGIS North, 1737 Cambridge Street, Room N262
Abstract: Social scientists and field epidemiologists have long appreciated the role of social networks in diffusion processes. The cardinal goal of descriptive epidemiology is to examine "person, place, and time" in relation to the occurrence of disease or other health events. In the last 20 years, most infectious disease epidemiologist have moved away from the field epidemiologistÿÿs understanding of transmission as embedded in contact structures and shaped by temporal and locational factors. Instead, infectious disease epidemiologists have employed research designs that are best suited to studying non-infectious chronic diseases but unable to provide meaningful insight on transmission processes. A comprehensive and contextualized infectious disease epidemiology requires assessment of person (contact structure and individual characteristics), place, and time, together with measurement of specific behaviors, physical settings/fomites, and the molecular biology of pathogens, infected persons, and susceptible persons. In this presentation, I highlight examples of research that include multiple elements of this standard. From this overview, I show in particular how the main routes of HIV transmission in poor countries remain unknown as a consequence of inappropriate design in epidemiologic research. In addition, these examples highlight how diffusion research in the social sciences might be improved with greater attention to temporal and locational factors.
Devon D. Brewer, Ph.D., Director, has broad training and experience in thesocial and health sciences. Much of his past research has focused onsocial networks, research methods and design, memory and cognition, drug abuse, violence, crime, sexual behavior, and infectious disease (including sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, and hepatitis C). He earned his
bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of Washington and his doctorate in social science from the University of California, Irvine. Prior to founding Interdisciplinary Scientific Research, Dr. Brewer held research positions at the University of Washington, an administrative position with Public Health-Seattle and King County, and teaching positions at the University of Washington, Pacific Lutheran University, and Tulane University. He has been a principal investigator on federal research grants and authored/co-authored more than 60 scientific publications.

How Long Can Mahmoud Abbas Hold On?
With Palestinian politics riven by infighting, President Mahmoud Abbas only has one last hope for saving his credibility.
With Palestinian politics riven by infighting, President Mahmoud Abbas only has one last hope for saving his credibility.
The Palestinian move to join the International Criminal Court seems desperate and rash -- to everyone but the Palestinians.
Palestinian leaders made the move after a U.N. resolution demanding an end to the Israeli occupation by 2017 was bottled up by Washington and Jerusalem.
With peace talks stalled, the Palestinians tried to push through a Security Council measure calling for a deal within 12 months. They couldn't pull it off.
The IDF just tweeted out a really strange Hanukkah photo of a soldier carrying a drone with one hand and lighting a menorah with the other.
Well, one thing's for sure: Evangelical Christians worry more about Israel's Jewishness than American Jews.
If Israel passes the proposed nationality legislation, it will incite not only more internal strife but violence.
Your humble blogger has been pretty quiet about this week's Israeli/Hamas conflict. That's for a bunch of reasons: 1) I've had a few day job papers ...

Hi Darlene...I was interested in your message about Cunliffe's from Lancashire in the late 1800s and early 1900s. My husbands family comes from Lancashire (specifically the Clitheroe and Blackburn areas). However the most interesting thing for me is that the names in your family that you are researching are very similar to mine. We have an Alice, an Edith and some other similar ones as well. My husband's family emigrated to Canada in 1904, with his grandfather Joseph arriving in Winnipeg where he met and married Alice Hartley in 1905. I would be pleased to share more info if you think we have something in common. Sandi Notify Administrator about this message?

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Dec. 5— Gunmen killed a man and a youth in front of a taxi office in north Belfast today, the police said. The Ulster Freedom Fighters, an outlawed Protestant paramilitary organization, claimed responsibility for the slayings. The youth, 16, was killed outright and the man, shot in the neck, died at a nearby hospital, the police said. Neither was immediately identified.
The deaths bring to 46 the number of people slain this year by Protestant paramilitary groups; the Irish Republican Army has killed 30 people.

Ok. Bible lesson for the day. God may allow evil to prosper for a season, but ultimately evil will fall. God is Holy and righteous in all his acts. God will not wink at evil forever.
Acts 12:21-23
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made and oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
You guys probably don't believe in God, but it doesn't matter. Whether YOU believe or not has no bearing on the fact that He does.
God has won it for Himself and His people, both of the Jews and the gentiles, and it has been, is, and will be revealed. Would you like to be on God's side?

Vick, Watkins, Tapp healthy scratches for Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles listed quarterback Michael Vick, guard Danny Watkins and defensive end Darryl Tapp as inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.
Vick was cleared to play this week from a concussion that has cost him most of the last month of the season. But Vick won't even dress for the home finale. Watkins, a former first-round pick, was not listed on the injury report this week and was a healthy scratch. Tapp also was a healthy scratch.
For the Redskins, quarterback Rex Grossman was inactive again with Robert Griffin III back in the lineup. Griffin missed last week's win over Cleveland with a sprained right knee. Grossman was listed as the backup for the first time all season.
Tackle Tyler Polumbus was inactive after leaving last week's game with a concussion.

News Release Blumenthal Issues Advisory to Businesses Relating to
Friday, July 26, 1996 People using service animals such as "seeing eye dogs" cannot be discriminated against by private businesses and are legally entitled to public accommodations, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said today in an advisory to Connecticut businesses.
In a letter to business groups marking the sixth anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Blumenthal and a U.S. Department of Justice official provided basic information about the ADA and answered questions relating to service animals such as seeing eye dogs.
"Discrimination against the disabled -- anytime, anywhere -- is unacceptable in any form," Blumenthal said. "Today, on the sixth anniversary of the ADA, we reiterate and expand upon that message. When Americans with disabilities use service animals to assist them in their daily lives, we must work to ensure that their owners have the rights they deserve and retain their ability to access places of public accommodation."
A service animal is any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. "Seeing eye dogs" are one type of service animal. Other service animals assist persons with other kinds of disabilities in their daily activities. Examples include alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments.
"We are pleased to work with Attorney General Blumenthal to educate citizens about the ADA. This is the first of many cooperative efforts to ensure the rights of people with disabilities," said Deval Patrick, Assistant U.S. Attorney General for Civil Rights.
Under the ADA, privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.
"Discrimination against people with service animals violates the spirit and the letter of state law as well as the ADA," Blumenthal said. "As in other areas of law, my office has sought to prevent violations of the law first, before punishing violators. To that end, we hope this advisory will go a long way toward educating the business community about service animals and the related rights of their owners."
The advisory provides information about what an establishment owner must allow under the law, businesses' responsibilities under the laws, examples of certain violations of the ADA and state laws and answers to a series of questions on the subject.
For more information, businesses may also contact:
A copy of the question-and-answer advisory is being sent to Connecticut business groups and is available free of charge from the Attorney General's Office. Go to Questions and Answers About Service Animals Blumenthal joined with more than 20 other attorneys general and the U.S. Justice Department in marking the anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act. |

Either way, you're sure to find plenty of cute Valentine's Day cards for kids to choose from. The hardest part is often deciding among your favorite designs!
"My four year old picked this one out himself. I love that the design is not so pink and feminine looking, yet not so stereotypically "boy" looking either. I would have preferred that the font options came with capital letters for the names, because I didn't have time to customize, but the finished cards are still darling."
"These cute little Valentine's cards received RAVE reviews! We received so many compliments on them. I was happy to have a card that still had an envelope! So many of the store bought Valentine cards don't have an envelope anymore, just a cheap sticker. The quality was fantastic! Since they came preprinted with my daughters name it saved her from signing her name to 20+ cards!"
"My daughter used this card for her Valentines. She loved it. The card is very colorful and she loved that she could personalize the inside."
"I wanted a Valentine that would be meaningful to my 2-year-old and her day-care classmates. This fit the bill perfectly and we received lots of complements."
"I was able to use a picture of my son with his dog and place them in the car. It looked like they were having a great time cruising around town! The inside of the card includes a fun maze simple enough for young kids to do. These valentine cards were the hit of my preschoolers class. I had several mothers approach me wanting to know where I got them. Excellent quality, unique design, and quick turn around time. Thank you Tiny Prints!!!"

There's a new phenomenon forming within the market where big brands are looking to form their very own internal marketing agencies.
It can't be denied that digital marketing is an extremely diverse and broad field these days, with specialist agencies popping up all the time to service this or that marketing niche. Maybe it's just SEO or social media they do, or perhaps they will simply offer services within a particular market sector such as travel. Then of course you have the big players who can cover just about every conceivable sector of not only digital marketing but also the traditional side of things too.
Then you have the flip side with brands and other companies looking to set up small teams in house to look after certain areas of their own marketing. More often than not, this may cover only a handful of divisions such as search or more general marketing, where they may even spend a lot of their time managing the external agencies they contract their work out to. Quite often these teams are small or disjointed and it's amazing the amount of times I speak to people at big companies where it's obvious one hand does not know what the other is doing.
Now not all firms operate this way of course. There are plenty I could mention that have large internal marketing teams. But similarly these are still often separate bodies where there may in fact be several directors all looking after very similar practices in house with similar goals.
Recently though I have seen a new phenomenon forming within the market. Big brands that are looking to form what in essence are their very own internal marketing agencies. Not simply a handful of departments that all loosely work together, but truly uniformed divisions that are set up to run just like the agency models but purely operating for the client.
Some of these are actually quite large operations with a couple I personally deal with that have in excess of 150 dedicated in-house professionals working across all marketing functions. They have departments such as SEO, social, analytics, PR, and every other functions of marketing with all content being produced in house by extensive teams of creatives too.
Not only are these companies finding this model to be more cost effective, but also the ROI is very good as they now have large full-time teams working across all disciplines of digital and traditional marketing with dedicated project managers ensuring that the teams are liaising together and working toward the same goals.
One of the interesting upsides to this new move to form large internal agencies is the fact that these brands are actively looking to hire people from the agency world because they want to replicate how they operate. This ranges for directors of departments through account managers and executives to all of the different creative disciplines such as UX and video too.
The fact that some of the brands are so huge with massive worldwide presences enables them to place people on different internal projects reporting to a range of different stakeholders within the business. This in essence means they do actually operate and function nearly identically to an external agency in how they interact with the business.
I think you will start to see this model rolled out across more end clients over the next couple of years where they have the spending power and pockets that are deep enough to accommodate this form of business practice. It's very interesting to see some of these internal agencies that are actually larger in staff numbers than their external counterparts and I have seen quite a few leading industry figures move into these companies to help them build further.
So keep an eye on some of those huge brands out there. Especially those within the financial sector that are moving heavily into marketing and have the capability to throw a lot of cash into those departments.

Citing an inability to book headline acts by a deadline, organizers say the Tempe Music Festival has been canceled for this year.
The outdoor event had been scheduled for April 9 and 10 at Tempe Beach Park.
Festival co-founder Ken Koziol said Wednesday that his Scottsdale-based Arizona Event Co. was unable to lock up two key headliners by a Feb. 5 deadline, so he decided to pull the plug.
But Koziol says organizers plan to stage a 2011 version of the festival, which has drawn more than 20,000 music fans to Tempe Beach Park in recent years.
The event has featured such high-profile acts as Kid Rock, Fergie, John Mayer, the Fray, Jeff Beck, 3 Doors Down and the B-52s since it began in 2003 and has contributed more than $1 million to Arizona charities.

See everything exclusive to PlayStation for Destiny in one videoAlthough the "default" is to get mad at Microsoft for locking down exclusives, Sony has one in the pocket for Destiny. It involves a small amount of content, but content nonetheless, and you can get a full look of what to expect in this new video. Basically, it includes the PVP map Exodus Blue, the Strike map Dust Palace, and a few exclusive weapons and outfits. It wouldn't bother me that much if I didn't play it on a PlayStation console, but I'm sure there are some hardcore players out there who want to know the time limit of the exclusivity -- if there is one.

Celebrity Instagram Pictures From the VMAs 2013
Oh, Snap! See the Coolest Candids From the VMAs
There were so many amazing moments at Sunday night's MTV VMAs, and the celebrities in attendance took to social media to share their fun, candid snaps from the big show. Rihanna may have been unimpressed during her time in the audience, but she was all smiles while walking around backstage at the Barclays Center. Miley Cyrus posed with her posse before hitting the stage in a now-infamous performance, and Ciara shared a silly snap with Willow Smith during the show. Justin Timberlake celebrated his big night with a bottle of Champagne, while Lance Bass may have run off with his former *NSYNC bandmate's Video Vanguard award. Selena Gomez struck a sexy pose at a VMAs afterparty, but not before photobombing Joseph Gordon-Levitt backstage at the show — and, wait a second: do we spy exes Taylor Swift and Harry Styles in the same picture?
Click through to see the rest of this week's cutest celebrity candids, and be sure to follow POPSUGAR on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter!
