Sofa

Mr. Meskouris also managed the construction on H.K., down to die last square foot of concrete dooring. Last Sunday, living on die nerve energy of a new restaurateur, he insisted on a tour of die women s bathroom, which was beautiful. There was a place for a small sofa and good lighting above the mirrors.

I sat down on the sofa with both mugs, and held his out to him. 

I think I was only curious to see what would happen, though I must have known what might. I d been at the university for a year, after all. And why with him, whom I ll have to think of as Nigel There s something about the remembered smell of the gas fire and the sofa—soot and old fish-and-chip papers—that tells me my reasons weren t romantic ones. 

My mind cleared enough to know this was a sort of point of no return, even if we didn t go the whole way. I opened my eyes. Nigel s were closed, and he looked as if he was going to faint. I was surprised, because I knew that up there I was pretty disappointing, my bust hardly worth the stout satin and straps of a brassiere. But he gasped, and pulled his other hand out from behind me, so that I couldn t help sliding further sideways until I was almost lying on the sofa. He could reach my other breast. I closed my... 

I half-knew what he meant, and half-knew I should say no, but I didn t. He slid my trousers off, and what I chiefly remember about the next few minutes is that one of my legs kept sliding off the sofa, and he was huffing and puffing in my ear, and it hurt, quite a lot, and then he shouted, and it seemed to be over, and I realized he hadn t come out. 

Yes. Thank you. But there isn t, not really. Except about the Chantry. I put a hand out to where he sits at the other end of the sofa. Mark, do you think it s possible Or is it just wishful think-... 

I tell him, and he goes out. Winded, I lean shakily back in the corner of the sofa, and try to sort out Mark s anger into something that makes sense. 

We also performed a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of this lead compound. The solid state structure of this compound depicted in Fig. 3-15 shows a half-boat-like ( sofa ) conformation with the 9-phenanthryl group in a quasi-axial or r/Mf/.v/-flagpole position, and the a, 3-unsaturated exocyclic ester in a s-cis conformation. This cleft-like conformation is advantageous for the creation of centers with a high recognition ability, since one enantiomer fits in better than the other thus leading to selectivity.

Structural characterization of many quinolizidine derivatives has been established by X-ray diffraction. For example, this technique, in combination with spectroscopic methods, showed that (+)-2-thionosparteine 21 and (+)-2,17-dithionospartine 22 are conformationally rigid and have their lactam and thiolactam groups close to planarity, with the exception of the lactam group in 21, and that rings A and C adopt distorted sofa conformations <2005JST75>. 

Bisquinolizidine alkaloids have also been widely studied by this technique. For instance, the crystal structure of (—)-A16(17 ,-dehydrolupaninium perchlorate 23 was obtained from sealed-tube and synchroton X-ray diffraction data, and showed that the A, B, C, and D rings assume distorted half-chair, chair, distorted sofa, and chair conformations, respectively it was also used to determine the most precise dimensions so far known for the iminium group <1999JST245>. The crystal structure of quinolizinium hexafluorophosphate has also been studied <2001CSC174>. 

Roommates Bob and Ted agreed to wallpaper and carpet the living room and replace the sofa. The wallpaper costs 103.84, the carpet costs 598.15, and the new sofa costs 768.56. Bob agrees to pay for the carpet and wallpaper and Ted agrees to pay for the sofa. How much more money will Ted spend than Bob ... 

Glenda bought a sofa-sleeper at a 10% off sale and paid the sale price of 575.00. What was the price, rounded to the nearest cent, of the sofa-sleeper before the sale ... 

Clay and Draper were talking heatedly as they left the desk. They came over and sat on a sofa with their backs to me. From a couple of loud remarks I overheard, I surmised that they must have been informed of Wolfe s cable. I went back up to Pauley s suite and told him what to expect. About an hour later, the phone rang and Pauley answered. "I ll be able to come right away." He hung up. "Here we go, boys."... 

Flame spread is initiated on a paneled wall in the comer of a family room. Later, a large picture window, opposite the comer, breaks. A plush thick carpet covers the floor and a large sofa is in front of the picture window. The ceiling is noncombustible plaster. Explain the most probable scenario for causing the window to break and shatter. 

Eventually I moved from my eleven-room house to a one-bedroom apartment. My apartment is sparsely furnished. I can t have beautiful furniture or a beautiful sofa because I m sensitive to many woods and fabrics now. Everything has to be silk or cotton. 

It took four men two hours to move the sofa up three... 

Glowka et al. studied two tetrahydro[l,2,4]triazolo[4,3- ]pyrimidine derivatives 66a and 66b by X-ray diffraction <1994JCX375>. In the solid state, both molecules had the same conformation and were found to be packed in similar manner. The triazole rings proved to be planar, and the conjugation of the Jt-electrons with the lone pair of the N-8 atom was assumed to be the reason of the sofa conformation of the saturated six-membered ring. 

Therefore any flexible acetal will undergo conformational changes to permit 2p(0) <-> 2p(C+) stabilizing interaction to intervene in the transition state of its heterolysis. This is also true for pyranosides for which the free energy difference between chair, boat and sofa conformers rarely surpasses 10 kcal/mol.
