Camp Hope families wait in Chile's Atacama Desert for trapped miners

28.08.10

But this wilderness is also now the locale of an epic tale of survival and a special operation to keep alive 33 men trapped in the belly of the earth. And around those campfires, their families are sharing stories ofPredominantlyendurance, resilience and relief.

Fears for the worst turned to tears of joy when junction was established last Sunday via a narrow borehole with the hopeless men of the San Jose mine as they huddled in an emergency cover nearly half a mile below-ground - 17 agonising days after they were cut off from the worldMainlyby a rockfall on Aug 5.

Relatives could be at Camp Hope, as they christened the orientation, until Christmas, when rescuers hope to get the miners out.

Across a arete where 33 flags - 32 Chilean and one Bolivian - flit in the wind, one for each of the trapped men, the drilling shamus to rescue them was due to begin today.

The purpose is to bore a shaft 26 inches in diameter - the proportions of a bicycle tyre - and 2,300 feet absorbed so that the men can be painstakingly lifted to freedom by a harness. Energy experts estimate that it could take three to four months to cut through the beyond repair c destitute.

Risky Regencies: Christmas In November!

by Amanda McCabe

I loved looking Elizabethan Christmas traditions, because it seemed like such a fun time! They really knew how to party, the Tudors.

A few newspaper last year has been saved in the light of the new, and it was a tradition to sit around the fire and tell stories of Christmases past that night. We would also like to acknowledge the food! (But perhaps not all - how many of us roast peacock, restated in its skin and feathers, our host tables?) Roasted meats were great, of course - pork, beef, chicken and the boar's head to the song, with cooked vegetables and spices and fresh Manchet white bread. Queen Elizabeth, unlike his father, has been a light eater, but she does love sweets, which were prominently displayed on her Christmas table.Candied flowers, hard candy in a thick syrup called suckets (eaten with spoons sucket Special), Portuguese figs, oranges Spanish valuable fruit pies, gingerbread and the famous figgy pudding....
