Bin Laden recounted his experiences at Tora Bora on an audiotape that aired on Al Jazeera in 2003. He recalled that, on the morning of December 3, heavy U.S. bombing began around the clock, with B-52s dropping some 20 to 30 bombs each.
unwind. 1  to wind off or undo (something wound) 2  uncoil. 3  to straighten out or untangle (something confused or involved) 4  to make relaxed, less tense, etc. 5  to close out (a position in a securities or commodities trade) to sell (a stake in a company, business venture, etc.)
The large ball will not unwind correctly because the yarn is on a cardboard spool and is not a centerpull. The edges at the poles of the ball are tightly wound and so the ball spins while it unwinds. Tension guage of the yarn changes to tighter and tighter as the ball spins during unwinding. Horrible.
