June contest! Submit photos for the visual encyclopedia!

We have scuppers on our boat.
Scuppers on a boat let water out to drain but are not supposed to let water in. I assume they work the same way on a pool somehow.

Thank you jjdurrant and bbqbrew for one photo each added to the visual encyclopedia.
The contest is long over, but if you have photos that you think might be a good addition to the encyclopedia, by all means submit them. There aren't any prizes, but photos that are used with still give credit to the user who submits them. As before, only pictures you have personally taken of items that you own are eligible.
With the visual encyclopedia, we aren't trying to have a picture of every possible piece of equipment, but rather a survey of examples of each kind of equipment. Therefore, I probably won't take every photo you submit. But I am always looking for new pictures of things that haven't been covered yet.
Just at the moment, there is a particular need for a good photo of the new Borax box.

Jason I would like to submit pics but I would like to annotate and point to things on the pics like Casey in the first set of pics. How do I do this? Is there a free program that I can download that would allow me to do so?

There probably is, but it depends on your hardware / Operating System as to what will work... For those running a defective OS like those from Microsoft, I've heard "paint" will work. On my Linux box, running KDE as my Windowing manager, I use Digikam, but there are lots of choices on Linux, depending on your personal preferences.
I would post back with more info on your computer / OS, and see what people suggest.

Oh boy, an OS war!
...I think there are better places to do that. The truth is that every OS has a decent selection of free programs that can do this, but more importantly didn't Jason ask that this not be done as clean photos are preferred?
Yes, I prefer clean photos. At the same time it is always good to have, and know how to use, a photo editor.
There are many many choices of good photo editors. On Windows InfanView is good. It doesn't do a whole lot, but what it does it does really well.

I am running windows XP and it sure would be nice to have a free program..........

Google knows all... there are lots of free programs, as I mentioned above. Another one that you might want to try is "Gimp" which is available here: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ ...You can download it from that site (click "show other downloads") for pretty much every operating system out there and it is completely free. It is also reasonably powerful, in some areas maybe too much so...
Was in my local grocery and came across Borax, and noticed they have a new look. So I thought it would be good to post.
Thanks WestSidePool! I switched the visual encyclopedia to use your image since it is more up to date.
