Manchester City's Gunnar Nielsen, writes history.

The football-match between Arsenal - Manchester City, which was yesterday, was an historic even. Reason for this is, that the regular goal-keeper for Man. City, Shay Given was injured, and in his place, Gunnar Nielsen stepped in. Gunnar Nielsen is the first faroese player, which is to play in the English Premier League. Here is a small recap of the match itself:

Faroe Islands vs. Fayetteville, NC. USA: Military

It is kind of (un)funny to compare this element with eachother.

Fayetteville hosts one of the largest military bases in the USA, which is Fort Bragg. The town illuminates this fact, because alot of the business in the town, is based around or directed at the base. To name one, Fort Bragg Federal Credit Union.

Walking around in Food Lion, Wal-Mart or some other store, you may more than likely see a person, which is enrolled at Bragg.

You also hear and feel the presence of the base. For many months, one can hear them training from miles away, because explosions from their training cause tremors.

Helicopters and planes are also seen regularly fly above the town. Whole neighbourhoods often consist of people, which belong to the base. Regular cars often feature stickers, which in some way represent an allegiance to the army.

On the opposite end of the military scale and size, we find the Faroe Islands, which doesn't actually have any military at all, because this is a jurisidiction, which belongs to Denmark, and thus, they take care of that. The military in the Faroe Islands, resides in Mjørkadalur. Their presence is on a day to day basis hardly felt at all.

The search for the Faroe Islands

Volcano in Iceland, paralyzes the Faroe Islands.

Eyjafjallajökull (press link for live feed) in Iceland, which has cast its gloomy ash over huge parts of Europe and severely disrupted airtravel, is costing alot of money for the only airline on the Faroe Islands, Atlantic Airways. CEO, Magni Arge tells portal.fo, that the company is losing approx. 75000 USD a day, because they can't fly their planes anywhere.

The General Surgeon has these last days issued disclaimers for people with certain health issues, like asthma to stay indoors, because they might inhale the ash.

What we all hope for now, is that Katla will stay quiet.
