Can the side divider components be disassembled for a larger keyboard tray work space? Or is it glued/ pre-assembled?
I really like the desk but the structure makes it wobble from side to side if you bump into it. The wood is gorgeous, though, and the desk is really beautiful. For the price it was really worth it....

Really pretty but a bit wobbly

Eye ctaching desk
The lattice detailed writing desk is an attractive laptop desk, that could function as well for a small sideboard. The lattice work under the glass is pretty, however the items in the drawer are fully visible. We modified the desk to conceal the contents of the drawer by adding a thin luan under the lattice stained a contrasting color, now it's perfect for people who have don't have flawlessly arranged pencil drawers. Lot's of compliments, people can't believe it was ordered online and was so reasonable, it looks like a much more expensive piece. Happy, happy.Read More

Solid Value
Very similar in appearance and design to a major furniture retailer's current offering (at less than one third the price) the Lattice Desk's value is exceptional. Delivery was within the stated timeframe and assembly was straightforward. Unlike its more expensive counterpart, the Lattice Desk's glass top fit inside the frame of the desk rather than on top. Exercise care in placing the glass as it is easy to scratch the wood. I did not have to make any modifications to fit the glass unlike that stated in other reviews. I was very happy with the packing of the desk and with the fact that the manufacturer included extra assembly parts. Quality is very good with my only complaint being that there is a gap in the left side drawer assembly where you can see the wooden dowels for one of the storage compartments. As this part is pre-assembled, there is nothing you can do to close the gap, but otherwise it is not visible when the drawer is closed. The desk, along with a brown, leather dining chair (from Overstock of course), occupy my newly renovated home office. Now if Overstock only carried a twin sleeper that I could put in that room, I'd have a proper, multi-functional room.Read More

It's Contagious
by Mark Wallerstein
The popularity of freediving is continuously growing and at a rather fast rate. It seems like more and more people are trying to find a buddy to be a safety on a float rather than throwing on a tank and going for a "regular" dive. To me, this is amazing. What gets an even bigger smile on my face is the fact that the people looking to go out are not just looking to spearfish anymore. I am seeing people interested in freediving for the marine interaction, training, or simply for a relaxing day. This means one thing and one thing only, the word is spreading.
Freediving is expanding into entire new markets. It was only a week ago that I was helping represent FII at surf expo. In only a period of three days freediving went from the odd cousin sitting in the corner to the new guy at the party where everyone wants to get to know you. Towards the end of the show surfers were coming over to us not only interested in our new Waterman Survival courses (see forums for more information) but also to simply give freediving a chance. They saw the benefits of understanding how to hold your breath if one was to be knocked off a wave and pulled under.
When I talk to people about the benefits of freediving I will often go quickly past the spear fishing aspect. I always start with safety issues because; when people get the freediving itch they can't help but try even if they haven't had proper training from a certified instructor, and move onto the health benefits or the marine interaction. It seems to draw in a larger crowd. It shows people that freediving is not only holding your breath and shooting a fish. Freediving has become a lifestyle and a lifestyle improvement. The shear fact that you learn how to breathe properly through a certified class is a step in health improvement. It is also unknown to many that the marine interaction is infinitely better while freediving compared to scuba diving. When freediving, the fish are curious about what you are and will come over to you. They start to feel that you are part of their natural environment and that there is no threat (unless of course you have spear guns, then you're just a hungry part of the environment).
Above all else I feel the best way to share freediving is to actually have the experiences. I talk about the feeling of floating through the water on a single breath of air watching the sky slowly move past above me, I talk about the relaxation and the feeling of all the tension in my body drifting away with the current. So to all the readers out there, I urge you to do the same. Talk to your friends about your experiences and help those who are interested sign up for a course to become a safer diver. Who knows, maybe they can be that buddy on a day when you're looking for a relaxing dive through the beautiful water.

External and Internal
by Cat Fiztgerald
As we try to squeak every last iota of quantity out of ourselves we run into the realization, "I cannot stay who I am and be better. In order to improve I must change." Internal and external; yin and yang; quantification and qualification; these seem to be dichotomies, mutually exclusive, but they are inclusive and dependant where we are concerned and the key to our change. Sometimes we find ourselves living too much in one world. There is usually a feeling of stagnation, frustration, feeling lost, or "searching," when we are too one sided. That is a great time to start to look to the other side for a hint. In competitive venues things are quantified; how deep, how long, high, fast. We take the quantification of these as measurements of our success, since those are the goals. What do we do when we feel like we have squeezed every drop out of our system? We have to change it. In Freediving, you train your breathing, practice the art by diving, strength train for more powerful kicks. When we see decreasing returns on our quantifiable efforts it's time to look at the other side; qualification. How does your body feel? Where is your tension? Where does your mind travel? There we learn to make the body more relaxed and demand less to create more room. If we are resilient, pliable, flexible and springy then we have an efficient system. It is by looking inside that we can then improve the outside (the clock, tape measure, etc). Do your Bladder Meridian (stress, anxiety associations) stretch again this month – it's fantastic for the kicking; will save you effort and oxygen which translates to more underwater time (possibly more fish) and a quicker recovery time – and, going internal, try to be aware of what and how you feel.
In summation; want a better performance: look at your externals (clock, tape measure, etc), train, reexamine the externals, and, as you start to get diminishing returns for your training efforts look at your internals and create a new "You" to train.

Quantity vs. Quality
by Cat Fitzgerald
This month we are going to do an exercise. I was trying to figure out how to discuss two topics that will follow in the next two segments. Doing this exercise is the intro to those topics and will allow us to delve into them much more deeply and effectively. Normally we add and add to what we already know simply increasing the breadth of knowledge. Now I want to look at our depth of understanding. So let's get to it.
I am going to ask that you only do one leg so that we have a control to compare to. First you are going to lie on your back and draw your right leg across your body and up towards your left shoulder (fig 1). What I want you to do is hold the stretch and feel it: where do you feel the stretch, which muscles, do you feel it closer to the knee or the glutes. You want to feel the stretch in the Lateral Hamstring and in the belly of the muscle – the thickest part between the knee and glutes.
Start with those questions and then after a couples sessions come back to try this next part. I think most of you will either skip the whole process or skip to the next part. Those of you who do the process as designed will have a welcome outcome and those who do either of the other scenarios support what I am saying about the "more, more, more" mentality of quantity in lieu of quality. Ironically working on the quality aspect becomes the base for quantity later.
So now I want you to do the same stretch, but really be in/with the stretch. Now that you have done the quantification of the stretch I want to work on the qualification: how deep into the tissue do you feel the stretch, where else do you feel tension (neck, shoulder, back, etc). Release any unnecessary tension in the body – yes, you now have to figure out what is and isn't necessary tension. How is your breathing, has there been any change since you first did the exercise. Now deeper, how did you know when you were done with the stretch, what did you feel that let you know, was there any change in your stress levels before and after, did the room seem brighter when you were done, and of course, how is the quality of your movement at the end of the month?
All of this talks to how we approach learning and being. Are we interested solely in the external end product (a trophy – fish, medal, or otherwise) or do we let whatever our passion is become a training method for life learning and becoming, truly, more than who, not what, we are today. Next time we will get into anxiety and the body.
In health,

NEW YORK, January 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The quick-to-adapt business model of conglomerate IBM will keep itself very profitable for years to come with a shift towards services over manufacturing and products.
Multinational technology and consulting company International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) [Full Research Report](1) grabbed headlines and saw its share price soar in November last year after investment mogul Warren Buffett bought over $10 billion worth of stock, or 5.98 percent of IBM's ownership.
This alone demonstrates the intrinsic value of IBM, rooted in the fact that the company is earning on a consistent basis, and will continue to do so for a very long time. Its ability to quickly adapt to changes in market dynamics allows IBM to meet client demands as they evolve.
Their recent move towards being a services company away from a manufacturing and products-centric one has helped position them to where they are now and where they will be in the future. It was the right choice, considering the speed of change and innovation in business and technology. Instead of competing through building and delivering new products, IBM decided their services would set them apart.
For example, IBM not only develops cloud computing - one of their growth areas - but they also deliver cloud computing consulting services for cloud capabilities developed by other companies or organizations.
The shift started in early 1993, when newly installed then-chief executive Louis V. Gerstner Jr. put a much larger focus on services and started selling low-margin businesses, like the PC business that was later sold to Chinese firm Lenovo. Even with a new CEO in former EVP Virginia Rometty, this will likely continue, with a projected $20 per share earnings in four years.
Another factor would be the company's continuous pursuit for innovation and new research, as a report from International Business Times suggests. At least five IBM employees have won Nobel Prizes in the past for their innovations, including the scanning-tunneling microscope and superconductivity.
In addition, the company and their more than 8,000 inventors across the world lead the United States in a number of patents awarded by the US Patent Office for 20 straight years. Last year, IBM received a record 6,478 patents in analytics, cyber security, cloud computing, among others.
However, among a sea of praise, there is an emerging threat to IBM from smaller, more agile players emerging in the space. IBM must remain diligent in its commitment to innovation and set itself apart, leveraging its strong brand. In a time when everything is changing, it seems International Business Machines is ready and willing to change with the times. For more information, download our research report below.

Bill Analysis Jeff Grim Legislative Service Commission Sub. S.B. 189 126th General Assembly (As Reported by S. Agriculture) Sens. Grendell, Mumper, Dann BILL SUMMARY • Revises the requirements regarding the amount of vegetable and flower seed that a seed labeler permit holder reports on the permit holder's semiannual report as having sold and on which the fee for the report is based. • Requires the labels for vegetable and flower seed sold in hermetically sealed containers weighing eight ounces or less to include the years, rather than the year, in which the packed seed is intended for sale. • Revises the definition of "prohibited noxious weed" by removing the word "perennial." • Changes the expiration date for the registration of legume inoculant brands from July 31 to December 31. CONTENT AND OPERATION Seed fees for seed labeler permit holders Under current law, a person who holds a valid seed labeler permit issued under the Agricultural Seed Law must report to the Director of Agriculture concerning the amount of seed that the person sells in Ohio. The report must be made semiannually on a form that the Director prescribes and provides. A person who holds a valid seed labeler permit must include with each semiannual report a seed fee based on the amount of a particular seed that the person sold during that reporting period. Current law establishes different fees for specified types of seed. For vegetable and flower seed sold at wholesale or retail or on consignment or commission in containers of eight ounces or less, the fee is 2% of the wholesale value of the containers of seed or, if the seed is not sold wholesale, 2% of the retail value of the containers of seed. 1 The bill generally retains the requirements governing the fee for flower and vegetable seed with the exception of the amount of seed to which the fee applies. Under the bill, the fee applies to all of the following: (1) Vegetable and flower seed sold in containers, other than hermetically sealed containers, of eight ounces or less; (2) Flower seed sold in hermetically sealed containers that contain fewer than 300 seeds; and (3) Vegetable seed sold in hermetically sealed containers that contain fewer than 1,000 seeds.2 (Sec. 907.14(B)(3)(a).) Under the bill, the fees established pursuant to items (2) and (3), above, apply to seed sold in hermetically sealed containers that contain the amount of seeds specified in item (2) or (3), above, as applicable, and to seed sold in hermetically sealed containers that do not clearly state the number of seeds that they contain (sec. 907.14(B)(3)(b)). Except as otherwise provided above, if the weight of seed in a container, or the quantity of seed in a container, exceeds the applicable weight or quantity specified in item (1), (2), or (3), above, the fee established under current law for agricultural, vegetable, and flower seeds not otherwise specified applies, which is 10¢ per 100 pounds (sec. 907.14(B)(3)(c)).3 1 Current law defines "flower seed" as the seed of herbaceous plants grown for their blooms, ornamental foliage, or other ornamental parts and commonly known as and sold under the name of flower seed (sec. 907.01(HH)). "Vegetable seed" means the seed of any crop that is grown in gardens or on truck farms and is generally known and sold in this state under the name of vegetable seed or herb seed (sec. 907.01(CC)). 2 Under existing law, "hermetically sealed" means that the container used does not allow water vapor penetration through any wall, including the seals, greater than five one- hundredths grams of water per 24 hours per 100 square inches of surface at 100° F with a relative humidity on one side of 90% and on the other side of 0% (sec. 907.01(F)). "Container" means a packet, bag, box, tape, tube, envelope, pre-planted device, mat, or other device used to contain seed, except that it does not include a vehicle or bin used to contain bulk seed (sec. 907.01(MM)). 3 Current law defines "agricultural seed" as the seed of grass, native grass, forage, cereal, field and fiber crops, any other kinds of seed commonly recognized in this state as agricultural or field seed, lawn seed, and mixtures or blends of such seed (sec. 907.01(B)). Legislative Service Commission -2- Sub. S.B. 189 Seed package labeling Under existing law, each container of agricultural, vegetable, or flower seed that is sold for sowing purposes must bear on it or have attached to it in a conspicuous place a label plainly written or printed in English containing certain information. For vegetable or flower seed that is sold in containers weighing eight ounces or less, the information must include the year in which the packed seed is intended for sale. The bill adds that if the flower or vegetable seed, whichever is applicable, is packed in hermetically sealed containers, the years in which the packed seed is intended for sale instead must be included on the label. (Sec. 907.03(A)(3)(d) and (5)(d).) Definition of "prohibited noxious weeds" Under existing law, a person is prohibited from doing any of the following: (1) Selling any agricultural, vegetable, or flower seed if the seed contains prohibited noxious-weed seed; (2) Selling tree or shrub seed that contains prohibited noxious-weed seed; (3) Selling seed for use as bird feed if it contains viable prohibited noxious-weed seed or viable restricted-weed seed; (4) Selling prohibited noxious-weed seed or viable restricted-weed seed for the purpose of sowing, except sowing for research purposes; or (5) Selling seed that contains prohibited noxious-weed seed or viable restricted-weed seed that is designated under federal regulations as having no tolerance or that is out of compliance with its tolerance (secs. 907.07(D) and 907.08(I), (J), and (K), not in the bill). For the purposes of the above prohibitions, current law defines "prohibited noxious weeds" as perennial weeds that reproduce by seed, spread by roots, underground stems, or other reproductive parts, and, when established, are highly destructive and difficult to control. The bill generally retains the definition, but removes the word "perennial." (Sec. 907.01(R).) Legume inoculant brand registration Under current law, no person can manufacture or distribute any type of legume inoculant or pre-inoculated seeds in Ohio until the person has registered the brand of the legume inoculant with the Director. Applications for registration must be made on forms obtainable from the Director and must be accompanied by a $50 per-brand fee. All registrations expire each year on July 31 and must be Legislative Service Commission -3- Sub. S.B. 189 renewed in accordance with the Standard License Renewal Procedure Law. The bill changes the expiration date of the registrations from July 31 to December 31. (Sec. 907.28.) HISTORY ACTION DATE JOURNAL ENTRY Introduced 09-27-05 p. 1452 Reported, S.

Police investigate alleged assault

Dunedin police are investigating an alleged sexual assault in the city involving a Lions rugby player, according to reports in New Zealand.
The alleged incident took place following the Lions' 26-22 victory over the Highlanders in their Super Rugby match at Carisbrook on Saturday. Police confirmed that an incident had taken place early on Sunday morning involving an 18-year-old female but did not offer any more details, although reports claim that the complaint was made by a University of Otago student.
Lions team manager Mustapha Boomgaard said that the touring team were not aware of any potential incident until they were contacted by the New Zealand media for comment.
"We have heard nothing from the [Dunedin] police, the [Otago University] or any individuals," Boomgaard told rugby365 from New Zealand.
Otago University communications manager Megan McPherson said the incident was a "police matter".
Meanwhile the Lions are reportedly set to leave Ellis Park for a move to Soweto's Soccer City as relations with their equity partner the Guma Group reach breaking point.
The move to Soweto could raise doubts over the viability of Ellis Park, which hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup final and has been a long-term home for the Golden Lions and Transvaal Rugby.

red bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon
dried parsley
fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons
olive oil
1/2 cup
Italian salad dressing
1 cup
red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
For all of the extra ingredients, this isn't much better than just using Italian dressing by itself. The vinegar is a little overpowering. The chopped basil did help a lot.
I do not know how it taste made and gave as a gift. It looks very pretty in the bottle.

L.A. County Federation of Labor Launches Campaign Against Bernard Parks
The L.A. County Federation of Labor has started its much-anticipated campaign against Councilman Bernard Parks, dropping $20,000 into a committee to support challenger Forescee Hogan-Rowles.
That's more money than Hogan-Rowles raised all last year, but probably only a down payment on what it will take to unseat the two-term incumbent.
The initial contribution of $20,480 is for "estimated field expenses," according to a campaign finance report.
Parks kicked off his campaign on Saturday in Leimert Park, where he was
joined by several council members and Rep. Maxine Waters.
"We're going to have to do everything we can to overcome the awesome sums of money they're going to drop into this district," Waters said. "We can overcome the money with people power."
Parks has angered labor by threatening DWP pensions and calling for increased layoffs of city employees.
Harold Greenberg, past president of the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, said a coalition of business groups would fund an independent campaign supporting Parks.
"Parks has got to work," Greenberg said. "He can't take this for granted or as a foregone conclusion."

JLA: The Nail is a three-issue comic book mini-series published in the United States by DC Comics as part of its Elseworlds imprint. It is a self-contained story by Alan Davis that is set outside the mainstream continuity of the DC Universe.
In this fictional universe, Jonathan and Martha Kent's pickup truck has a flat tire caused by a nail. This prevents them from discovering the spaceship outside Smallville with the baby Kal-El, negating Superman.
The story's theme is set in the first paragraph:
For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
for want of a horse the knight was lost,
for want of a knight the battle was lost.
So it was a kingdom was lost – all for want of a nail.
Twenty-four years ago, farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent miss the arrival of a Kryptonian spacecraft due to a flat tire on their truck, preventing them from discovering and raising the infant Kal-El as their adopted son. Without Superman, the Justice League consists of Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash (Barry Allen), Hawkwoman (Shayera Thal), the Atom (Ray Palmer), Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). However, the League is not a united team as it lacks a moral compass due to Superman's absence.
Xenophobia against metahumans is fueled by propaganda from Perry White which is backed by Metropolis mayor Lex Luthor and his deputy Jimmy Olsen, as well as former hero Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), who became a bitter paraplegic after a battle with Amazo which resulted in the death of Hawkman (Katar Hol). Queen claims that the Justice League are aliens conspiring against humanity. Flash, Wonder Woman and Atom are the only League members "confirmed" as human; Green Lantern pledges allegiance to an interstellar power, and Batman's nature is mysterious. Metahumans are eliminated or captured one by one: first the supervillains, then superteams such as the Doom Patrol and the Outsiders.
The Joker liberates Arkham Asylum with energy-generating gauntlets which he uses to trap Batman and kill Robin (Dick Grayson) and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon). Catwoman frees Batman by attacking the Joker. Batman damages the Joker's gauntlets before snapping his neck on the roof of Arkham in front of witnesses just as Arkham explodes. Batman then retreats to the Batcave with Catwoman and collapses from post-traumatic stress. The killing tarnishes the superheroes' reputation, and Batman becomes deeply depressed.
Metamorpho is brainwashed and kills Perry White and the Thinker, dying when he tries to tell J'onn what happened to him. Green Lantern discovers a strengthening force field around Earth that prevents anything from leaving the planet. Although Adam Strange died when the Zeta Beam was blocked by the force field, Green Lantern could still travel to Oa. Seeking a mastermind behind the attacks, the Flash saves Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins from an attack by Amazo.
The White House is destroyed by a bomb after Wonder Woman leaves, making it look like she planted it. Riots erupt soon afterwards, and Lex Luthor establishes a totalitarian state, with platoons of strong, flying masked robots known as the Liberators enforcing the law. The Justice League are captured by the Liberators, (which are revealed to be Bizarro clones), until only Batman, the Flash, the Atom and Catwoman remain.
Lois Lane, an investigative reporter covering the anti-metahuman campaign, suspects a coverup. At a secret metahuman research facility, Lois meets Dr. Lana Lang, who sends her to Smallville where the Kents help shelter escaped metahumans. Lois confronts Jimmy about her discoveries, only to be captured by him. After short-lived attempts at heroism caused by having his DNA altered, Jimmy became disillusioned with the superheroes and retired, becoming Luthor's aide. Jimmy reveals to Lois that, after finding Kal-El's empty spaceship, Luthor retrieved DNA samples from the ship and used them to create Bizarro clones and graft Kryptonian DNA onto various subjects, with Jimmy turning out to be the only successful graft as the other subjects mutated and died. The graft transformed Jimmy into a Kryptonian who is determined to replace human life with Kryptonian life. Metahumans are imprisoned for their DNA in order to convert Earthlings into a Kryptonian society ruled by Olsen.
Batman, Batwoman (formerly Catwoman), the Atom and the Flash free the Justice League captives and destroy the Liberators, only to be confronted by an insane super-powered Olsen. Inexperienced with Kryptonian powers, the League is defeated by Olsen. The fight spreads to an Amish community; as Olsen is about to kill Batman, he is stopped by one of the farmers. The farmer tries to reason with him, but Olsen tries to incinerate him with heat vision.
However, the young man is immune; he is Kal-El, found as an infant by an Amish couple and raised to ignore the world and walk in righteousness. Olsen tries to persuade Kal-El to join him; he refuses, unable to ignore what he has detected with his super-senses. Angry, Jimmy kills Kal-El's adoptive parents with heat vision in front of him and Kal engages Jimmy in an apocalyptic battle. Evenly matched, with Jimmy's experience countered by Kal's power, the stress of the fight causes Olsen's body to disintegrate as the graft fails. With Olsen and the Liberators defeated, the Justice League (without Batman, who resigns from the League after his acquittal for the Joker's murder) regains public confidence with the help of its newest member: Superman.
Another Nail[edit]
The story was followed by a sequel, JLA: Another Nail, which wrapped up several loose ends from the original mini-series such as the aftermath of the war between New Genesis, Apokolips, and the Green Lantern Corps and Oliver Queen's public betrayal of the Justice League.
Collected editions[edit]
The three issues were collected into a trade paperback published in 1998 by DC Comics and 1999 by Titan Books.[1][2]
In 1999, JLA: The Nail was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Limited Series.[citation needed]

Basement of apt building flooding
I live in a coop apartment building. Whenever we have heavy rains, the basement floods with several inches of water. The super explained to me that rainwater from the roof is supposed to come down into the pipe in the basement that attaches to the municipal sewer pipe, but that the sewer pipe itself is blocking up and pouring additional water into the building.
Does anyone know what we would need to do to fix this? Someone suggested a sump pump, but I'm not sure where the water would be pumped out to since the sewage pipe itself is pouring water back into the building...
It sounds as though the municipal sewer has insufficient capacity for the amount of water it is expected to carry. Has anyone spoken with the local public works department.
Short of that you need a backflow check valve to prevent back-up and/or a lift station with pumps to force your water into the sewer while also preventing backflow. There are several brands available, Tramco is one with which I am familiar and know to be good.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for your quick response!
This is NYC. I don't think speaking with the local public works department will help in the short term (nor probably in the medium or long term). ;-)
A check valve would prevent the sewer from backing up into the basement, but that would also prevent the roof runoff from exiting through the sewer pipe, wouldn't it? Not that anything is exiting through the sewer pipe anyway, since that pipe is streaming into us!
Is there anyway to make the sewer pipe "one-way"? Or is that what the lift station with pumps is about? (How many pumps? Are they the same as a sump pump?)
Any idea how much it would cost to buy and install such a thing?
Sorry for all the dumb questions! I'm just starting to learn about all this stuff!
You would need to have a qualified local expert evaluate your situation. About 20 years ago I had a Tramco liftstation unit installed but it involved some extensive upgrading of electrical power and required a new driveway due to the excavation.
Mine handled the entire house - sewage and rainwater because the community had combined sanitary and flood-water sewers. It intercepted the main line leaving the house. The total then was around $10,000, as I recall, but the unit I selected had two pumps which alternated because I did not want to risk a pump failure when I most needed it. I even had mine wired to be connected with a generator though that never became necessary. I don't recall how large the pumps were but, yes, a form of sump pump but ones having sufficient output pressure to pump against any back-up.
Aside from annual preventative maintenance the problem was solved. I lived there about 5 years following the installation and never had a drop of water in the basement again.
Good luck resolving your problem.
Following in a link to the Tramco Lift Station I reference. Seeing this, I recall mine being a model 990 as I know it had two pumps.
This is top-end equipment - I'm sure other solutions are available to meet your specific requirements.
I bought through a local installer that my village recommended so have had no dealing directly with the manufacturer.
Having experienced water in a basement I know the trama and hope this provides you a place to begin.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tramco Lift Station
Proving once again that combination sewers were and are a terrible idea!
Perhaps there is a dedicated storm sewer system that can be accessed. Or perhaps there's a way to divert some of the rain water to on-site drainage. That would depend on how large the building and/or lot are.

Rescue Dog Becomes a Surprise Internet Sensation
When Japanese kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato rescued her Shiba Inu, Kabosu, from a puppy mill bust several years ago, she never imagined that the dog would rise to internet stardom. In fact, she had nothing to do with it. Sato posted pictures of Kabosu and her cats on her blog, which she has dedicated to raising awareness about the terrible reality of puppy mills. She was shocked to see her photos of Kabosu become the face of "Doge," an internet phenomenon centered around silly photos of dogs.
For those who are well-versed in the realm of internet trends, you will likely recognize Sato's photos scattered around the web. The pictures generally include a Shiba Inu with phrases written from the perspective of a dog's inner monologue, and are usually written in colorful Comic Sans font. Sato and Kabosu are well-known figures throughout Japan, but their photos are recognized and adored around the world.
While Kabosu is a sweet and friendly Shiba Inu, the breed is not for everyone. Shibas are known for being somewhat aloof and highly independent. While they may look like cute and cuddly teddy bears, anyone interested in the breed should do their research before deciding to purchase or adopt one.
Sato plans to use this unexpected fame and popularity to educate the public about puppy mills and to encourage people to adopt a dog from a shelter. After all, Sato's decision to adopt Kabosu was life-changing for both her and her four-legged friend. After all, surely there are others whose decision to adopt will change their lives in ways they never imagined possible.

And I'm not sure why he would lead to "another one on the way". He was a free agent and so if the Reds did sign him and he was on this Reds team since April, they would be better but not some sort of powerhouse given everything else that has gone on this year.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
drama again between the rays and red sox (ortiz)... ortiz hit a 3 run homer, flipped his bat and needed 30 seconds to round the bases (I think that is sprinting for him )
archer wasn´t happy
ortiz response (short version)"I don't know what makes him think that he can showboat the way he does, and then nobody retaliates," Archer said. "Nobody looks at him in a funny way or pitches him inside. I don't know why he feels like that, but obviously he feels the way [teammate] David [Price] said he does -- he feels like he's bigger than the game. He feels like the show is all about him."
perhaps ortiz had this action in his mind"He's not the right guy to be saying that, I don't think," Ortiz said.
if you act like this, you shouldn´t judge someone else for showboating
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
Considering what Ortiz has done in the postseason in his career, he can showboat all he wants.
"That ball is FAIR! Cincinnati's ahead 2 games to none!" - the last World Series game played in Cincinnati
Tampa just dropped a 4 spot on Milwaukee in the 8th -- 5 -1 Tampa -- top of 9
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
