 Unasylva - No. 67 - Timber transportation in the tropics
Log skidding along bare ground, either full length or with only their butt ends, is much more damaging to the logs as well as to the ground, than log rolling by hand, especially for peeler and veneer logs.
Logging by manpower ceases in any tropical country as soon as the distance for rolling or skidding of logs becomes too great, and when yarding costs become so high that they cannot be recuperated by the sale price of the timber.

Roughly a week after McCain's meeting with the Log Cabin Republicans on November 9, a series of anonymous letters appeared in the mailboxes of 23 South Carolina state representatives who have endorsed McCain and an undetermined number of other Republican activists around the state.

The McCain campaign wants South Carolina's veteran-rich electorate to warm to their candidate because he spent five years as a prisoner of war in Hanoi, not because he spent a half-hour holed up in his office with a gay rights group.
