Maður var fluttur á slysadeild um klukkan hálfníu í kvöld eftir að hann hafði drukkið stíflueyði í Húsasmiðjunni í Skútuvogi. (A man was moved to the casualty ward at about eight-thirty at night after he had drank drain cleaner in a hardware store in Skútuvogur [Skútuvogur is a street name].)

Að sögn vakstjóra hjá slökkviliðinu voru það starfsmenn Húsasmiðjunnar sem kvöddu sjúkralið á vettvang en maðurinn var mjög veikur enda um afar sterkt efni að ræða sem brennir innyfli og getur verið baneitrað. (According to the Fire Department's report it was the hardware store personnel who summoned the hospital to the scene but the man was very ill as this is a very strong substance which burned his intestines and can be deadly poisonous.)

Plata - plate, sheet of something
Bökunarpappír - wax paper
Baka - bake
Mínúta - minute

EDIT: I tried this recipe and it didn't work for me, however I messed up a little too. Make sure your chocolate isn't pre-made into shapes (like bars that you can break off or chocolate chips) because otherwise it won't melt in the oven and the liquorice will melt before it does. Also salmiac liquorice tastes disgusting when melted. I also think I didn't beat the eggs for long enough.

3 eggjahvítur (egg whites)
200 gr. púðursykur (8/10th cup powdered sugar)
150 gr. rjómasúkkulaði (bar of milk chocolate)
2 litlir pokar súkkulaðihúðað lakkrískurl (little bags of chocolate-covered liquorice)

Stífþeytið eggjahvíturnar, bætið púðursykrinum við og þeytið áfram þar til sykurinn er alveg horfinn. (Beat the egg whites until stiff, add the powdered sugar and mix together until the sugar is completely dissolved/vanished.)

Bætið söxuðu súkkulaði og lakkrískurli við. (Add the minced chocolate and liquorice bits together.)

Setjið með teskeið á plötu með bökunarpappír og bakið við 175° í 12-14 mínútur. (Set a teaspoon of the mix onto a cookie sheet with wax paper and bake for 175°C/347°F for twelve to fourteen minutes.)

Nýtt flóð að hefjast (New flood has started)

Það er nýtt flóð á leiðinni úr Eyjafjallajökli, segir Kjartan Þorkelsson, sýslumaður á Hvolsvöllur. Flóðið er rétt að byrja og ekki ljóst á þessari stundu hversu stórt það er. (It is a new flood on its way from Eyjafjallajökull, says Kjartan Þorkelsson, Legislative Official of Hvolsvelli. The flood is just starting and we've not hit on how large it is.)

Tvo flóð brustu á með skömmu millibili í nótt og um kvöldmatarleytið í gær kom svo flóð sem var af þeirri stærðargráðu að nauðsynlegt þótti að rýma bæi úr Fljótshlíðinni og í Landeyjum. (Two floods sprung up within a short timespan in the night at about suppertime yesterday, flooding came to such magnitude as to be regarded as necessary to vacate town out of Fljótshlíð and Landeyjar.)

Here is IceNew's own translation of the article:

Andlit eldgossins (Face of the Volcano)

Þessi magnaða mynd sem tekin var með sérstakri myndavél um borð í vél Landhelgisgæslunnar TF-SIF í gær. (This impressive picture was taken with a special camera on board the Icelandic coastguard’s TF-SIF research plane.)

Myndin sýnir þrjú megin gosop eldgossins á Eyjafjallajökli. Gosopin eru 200 til 500 metrar í þvermál. (The picture shows three craters in the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The craters are each 200 to 300 metres wide.)

Myndin minnir óneitanlega á andlit einhverskonar forynju sem hefur brotið sér leið úr iðrum jarðar og er nú að spúa eldi og brennisteini út í andrúmslofið. Afleiðingarnar eru mestu samgönguraskanir í Evrópu á friðartímum. (The picture undeniably looks like a face: some sort of monster which has broken its way out of the earth and is now spewing fire and sulphur into the atmosphere. The chaos being wrought on European transport connections is the greatest ever during peace time.)

However I have a fondness for my own translation: The pictures indisputably remind of some kind of monsterous face as if it has broken its way out of the intestines of the earth and is presently vomiting fire and brimstone into the atmosphere.
