POPSHollywood film Vampire Wars: Who's the Best Evil (Yet Hot) Vampire? "And you’re what, shocked and disappointed? I’m evil." —Spike Vampire Wars continues! As we explained earlier this week, we've decided that, structurally speaking, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are all the same show. Girl meets soft-hearted vampire, girl enters bizarre world of the occult, girl gets mixed up in some stuff, girl hooks up with hard-bodied other vampire, wackiness (and bloody good scandal) ensues. But which of those wicked, supersexy vamps is the best? It’s time to decide who’s the best evil (yet hot) TV series vampire, and you have to make the nearly impossible choice between James Marsters‘ bitingly funny Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alex Skarsgård’s Viking vampire Eric Northman on True Blood, and Ian Somerhalder’s devilish Damon on The Vampire Diaries. So…who do you love? Tell us in the poll below!

POPSViking travel guide warns against hostile Scottish natives more: A Scot identified in the saga as Grjotgard, a kinsman of Melkolf (Malcolm II), king of Scotland, told them: 'You have two choices. You can go ashore and we will take all your property, or we'll attack you and kill every man we lay our hands on.' The chronicles have been interpreted by Gisli Sigurdsson, a historian at Reykjavik University, who believes the sagas - part fiction, part fact - reveal how the ancient Norse were far from the fearless pirates of legend. Sigurdsson said the tales were a warning to travellers that they would encounter a general foggy area, dangerous landings, hostile natives and language problems. They wrote that the people would probably attack you immediately.

POPSViking Treasure Hoard
more (at source): The hoard – which includes a silver cup estimated to be worth more than £200,000, as well as 617 coins and various silver fragments, ingots and rings, will go on display in both York and in the capital after careful conservation work which began a month ago. Experts hope the process will reveal crucial details about the Viking era. Initial examinations suggest the treasure dates to 927 or 928. Conservation experts have already revealed remarkable insights: the cup, which has been gilded inside and out, is most likely to have belonged in a church, with vines decorating its exterior – a Viking symbol of Christ. Some of the coins shed new light on the period – parts of Britain such as Staffordshire and Yorkshire were already believed lost by the Vikings and under Anglo-Saxon dominion, yet there are coins which show the Vikings were still creating their own currency in these regions. One such coin, with the word "Rorivacastr" on it, is believed to have originated from

POPSYangtze River Cruise - The Most Famous River Cruise in China For a Yangtze River Cruise your options are really only limited by where you want to go as certain ships and cruise lines only sail certain parts of the Yangtze River and the lengths vary according to where you want to go and how far along the river you want to travel. Viking River Cruises offers a Yangtze River option and they are perhaps the most well known company for river cruises, but Victoria Cruises also offers a Yangtze River option and they have a very strong reputation for being among the best on the river.

POPS51 Headless Vikings Found in English Execution Pit? "You've got Danish and Saxon armies fighting backwards and forwards across England," The early English also faced the threat of longship-sailing Vikings, Scandinavian seafarers who pillaged coastal regions. The team hopes chemical analysis of the buried men's teeth will show whether they grew up in Britain or Scandinavia. (Related: "Vikings Filed Their Teeth, Skeleton Study Shows.") Signs of muscle attachment on the bones could also help reveal whether the executed were Viking oarsmen, since "strong physical exertion in a particular direction does affect the bones,"

She found descriptions of more than 600 bodies from 215 grave sites, from Peru to South Korea.
