If they are white, they are slabs intended for use in wet-dry filters. If
they are colored, I'd tend to agree that these are meant to be
user-sculpted.

Are you saying that these things are $18.50 each for a 1" thickness and they
have sent a total of 8" (2 packages of 4" thickness)? (that would be worth
$148.00).

I'd venture that we could easily split this Cell-Pore donation into two
Prizes (one of each color, each containg one of each of the items that they
sent), each with a value of $178.00. Or, we could divide it further if we
have to - we can decide later, once we hear back from the rest of the
companies and have an idea of how many things we have to spread around.

If this is the case, we are just over the $2,500.00 level in Donated Prizes.

Anyhow, nice donation. I'll pull some graphics off of their web site and
forward them to Erik.
