Sears loves to push their "Profession line" off compressors. The 19541 is their top of the line portable unit. It is build by Divelbliss and actually the same as the Portercable and usually cheaper. The rub is Sears advertises it as a dual stage compressor. Not a dual piston, but a dual stage. I purchased this compressor and noted the box had the 19541 item number and said "Craftsman 2 Stage Compressor". However when I got it out of the box I saw only one crank case and no intercoolers or cross pipes. Further investigation and I came up with this: That doesn't look like Two stage pump compresses air in 2 steps for more efficient and cooler operation Which this page says: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0...scriptionAnchor Whats better is there are 72 review on this item and no one person in 3 years caught this. I went 5 years without shopping at sears and it looks like I will be going 5 more.

Tops Ways To Know You Suck At Photography
Che'_Moderator posted a blog entry in Che_Moderator's Blog
1. You use multiple exposures and your cameras not on a tripod. You're a digital poser retard. Put down the CS4 and learn your f-stops. 2. You do not view blown highlights as a digital camera problem. The sky is not white you tard. You shouldn't have to use an inverted wave or ocean scene to simulate the sky. Its photography not CGI. 3. You think 16 mega-pixel is huge. 16mp is NOT ok for 54" photos. Prints are not posters. 75lpi is not ok. 4. You think black boarders are cool. Black boarders make your shitty pictures look smaller not cooler. Get off myspace. Black boarders were used for enlargers and projectors. NOT web graphics. 5. You think lens flare is cool. Those blown out stars around anything shiny are not cool. They just show you have a cheap lens and are too lame to study proper use of filters. 6. You think gray cards are stupid. Seriously under expose your crappy pictures or over expose them. Don't manage to do both. 7. You over use white balance. See above. Seriously. Use a gray card damn it. -
So I am sitting here trying to come up with an easy to follow photo editing guide and a window pops up telling me I have email. I toggle over to Thunderbird and what do I find? The first 5 lines to Walden Pond followed by a lone link to "buy cialis". FINE. <DELETE> I am used to this kind of low blow marketing. What I did not expect was to click back over to volvopeed and find a new member asking about half shafts only to reply to himself under another username "foud cheepe ones here ^^ thank you" with of course a spam link embedded in the post. A spam link to fiorecet. WTF is fiorecet? More importantly why is someone in Korea on a car site posting about it? I mean if I were a spammer I would target some huge board, or blog site. Or I dunno. TRY TARGETED MARKETING!!!!! If you sell male enhancement pills find a small penis message board. Thats funny is as I write this somebody in Asia., Russia, or Brazil just found this and is thinking, "wow. Targeted marketing. I should post here since its a page dedicated to cialis". The only comfort I take in that is hopfeully a 12 year old catholic school girl will open this page right as a Sister looks over her shoulder to see how her Walden Pond report is coming. Oh, and its official. According to SEO info more people have read about Anna Nicole's death than President Fords. I will save that rant for later though. But if your in some 3rd world sweatshop reading this, I am not mad at you. I hope you make some money for your family spamming me. Can you at least teach me how to say "Were better than the other Volvo site" in Korean?
