The show is financially supported by the donations of auction items and the sale of those items on the Saturday of the show. Pipes, cigars, tobacco, tobacciana, and non-tobacco items are donated by pipe carvers, exhibitors, club members, and benefactors of the show, and are deeply appreciated. We could not run the show as it is without these donations. From 11 a.m. until around 3 p.m.

The Silent Auction is a collection of items (see "Bid for Prizes" tab) that you can bid on for purchase the day of the event. To bid on the items simply write your name and a bid on the sheet in front of the auction item. Each participant has the opportunity to "out bid" you by writing in a higher price for the Silent Auction item. All Silent Auction items will have a minimum bid and a minimum incremental bid.

Not when we help. We have participated in so many events, that we know from experience what works and what fails. There are secrets to where the items should be set up, when the silent auction should begin and end. Even your bid forms can help or hinder how smoothly your event goes.

Successful auctioneers will tell you that a silent auction warms up the audience and gets them in the buying mood. As a result you get more and higher bids for your live auction items.

No. A silent auction is great socializing event. As your guests mingle with drinks & snacks, they will be quietly entertained with the #1 sport in America - shopping.

A ? The silent auction has five different color-coded sections that close at various times throughout the evening. For example, the 1st section will close (no more bids will be taken) around 6:00 p.m., the second around 6:30 p.m., and so on. The auction takes place on two levels, in both Egan Hall and the gym. When you arrive on Friday night, you will register your name and receive a bid number. To bid on an item, simply write your number on the bid sheet provided with each item.

The auctions are held on site at the parcel being sold. The auctioneer caravans from property to property. Bidders may obtain a flyer which describes the time and location of each parcel.

Each soundtrack from the Silent Subliminal series (Perfect Health, Attracting Love, Making Change Easy, etc.) uses subliminal affirmations. The affirmations are clearly listed on the inside of each cassette case.

If you are familiar with the servos, you probably know that they can make a sound that can make you jump, especially caught off guard. The application this project is serving is intended to have the servos operate next to people whose comfort level is paramount, so they must not be scared do death periodically when the servos come to life. In order to reduce noise related to servo operation, it is possible to shut off the pulse to the servo - it enters the "sleep mode" shortly thereafter.

A silent retreat takes place when the entire retreat center is in silence. This spirit of quiet is encouraged so that participants on retreat may be free from social pressures of light conversation and may experience the opportunity to focus on their inner spiritual journey. Other than times of meeting with the retreat leader and during worship, retreatants commit themselves to a spirit of quiet. For those who may be new to this experience, we may be able to provide a dining room for speaking.

The term REFLUX comes from a Greek word that means "back flow", and it usually refers to "the back flow of stomach contents". Normally, once the things that we eat reach the stomach, digestion should begin without the contents of the stomach coming back up again . . . refluxing. The term Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) refers to the back flow of food or stomach acid all of the way back up into the larynx (the voice box) or the pharynx (the throat).

A silent bid is a bid that is not submitted until the last few seconds of the auction. That way you remain silent during most of the auction and nobody knows that you have an interest in the item.

There are no mechanical switches on our keyboards. In addition, since the keys are made of soft silicone rubber, there is no clicking sound.

We wanted to tell this story as a silent film, as if the movie had been made in the 1920s when the story was written. This isn't a story about relationships and snappy dialogue between characters. We felt the style of a 1920s film would be an ideal way to tell this huge, sprawling story.
