    One of the trapped Chilean miners is dreading his rescue after his wife met his secret mistress at the entrance to the San Jose mine, The Sun reported Thursday.

    Yonni Barrios' wife, Marta Salinas, and Barrios' lover, Susana Valenzuela, were both holding vigils for him outside the mine.

    Salinas was stunned when she heard Valenzuela shouting his name amid a crowd of miners' loved ones.

    Salinas, 56, is said to be "horrified". However, she is determined not to give up her man to her love rival.

    She told friends: "Barrios is my husband. He loves me and I am his devoted wife. This woman has no legitimacy."

    But Valenzuela said the 50-year-old miner, who she met on a training course five years ago, was planning to leave his wife for her.

    She said: "We are in love. I'll wait for him."

    Barrios has been one of the heroes of the landslide drama -- using his first-aid training to treat sick colleagues.

    He also vaccinated all 33 men, including himself, against flu and pneumonia.

    Meanwhile, the captives have been hit with an alcohol and tobacco ban by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) experts helping the rescue.

    A NASA doctor, James Michael Duncan, said: "We need to get their nutrition up before we consider drinking."

    Two of the smokers have been dropped nicotine patches and gum to deal with their cravings.

    But the miners -- who may not be drilled out until Christmas -- have started eating proper meals of 2,000 calories a day.

    Their rations include yogurt and cereal for breakfast, chicken sandwiches for lunch and jam sandwiches for dinner. They each have tea and five liters of water daily.

    I think they need to make an exception for poor Yonni.

    First - why is NASA in charge of a mine rescue in Chile? Isn't that a little bit south and down from their normal base of operations?

    Second - why do THEY get to decide who drinks and smokes. If I were stuck in a mine for three months I'd want a steady supply of something to take my mind off BEING STUCK IN A COAL MINE.

    Heck, I'd probably also request a laptop, internet access, a few gallons of lube, and a crate of Kleenex!

    Marta and Susana should be more concerned about a special request by the miners earlier this week: Female lingerie.

    Not sure about the alcohol, except that someone gettinig drunk may become violent in those conditions. As for the smoking, cramped quarters, possible gas (natural and created), and the need to have fully functioning lungs in 500 square feet.

    Read somewhere that NASA offered assistance with
    the miners due to their experience keeping people
    alive for long periods of time in confined spaces and
    with limited oxygen supply.

    There must be some local product down there that
    could keep the miners minds occupied.

    Do you think that they are planning a little fashion show -- or do they just want to sniff and pass?

    Do you think Yonni knows both women are up there?

    I'm afraid I'm not able to understand the language in the link you posted, Wax... :eek:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Heard on the news that his wife said she wasnt going to show up.

    I bet that while he was in the mine. they never even told him that the two women knew about each other in order to keep him calm. It must have been a surprise for him to see the mistress there but not the wife when he came up!
