“Experiments are never used to generate new paradigms, but to provide data to be interpreted by the current prevailing data, the “establishment” paradigm. Scientists claim to support a falsification principle, and to strenuously attempt to falsify their theories. This is the uttermost self-delusion. Scientists in fact go to tremendous lengths to defend their paradigm against falsification, and to deny that any falsification has taken place even when the data is unambiguous that it has. Scientists will simply reinterpret the results of any inconvenient experiments to explain away any anomalies, or they will add ad hoc hypotheses to bolster existing theories rather than discard those theories.”

Under the heading of "defense mechanisms,” psychoanalysis describes a number of ways in which a person becomes alienated from himself. For example, repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection. These "mechanisms" are often described in psychoanalytic terms as themselves "unconscious,” that is, the person himself appears to be unaware that he is doing this to himself. Even when a person develops sufficient insight to see that "splitting", for example, is going on, he usually experiences this splitting as indeed a mechanism, an impersonal process, so to speak, which has taken over and which he can observe but cannot control or stop. There is thus some phenomenological validity in referring to such "defenses" by the term "mechanism.” But we must not stop there. They have this mechanical quality because the person as he experiences himself is dissociated from them. He appears to himself and to others to suffer from them. They seem to be processes he undergoes, and as such he experiences himself as a patient, with a particular psychopathology. But this is so only from the perspective of his own alienated experience. As he becomes de-alienated he is able first of all to become aware of them, if he has not already done so, and then to take the second, even more crucial, step of progressively realizing that these are things he does or has done to himself. Process becomes converted back to praxis, the patient becomes an agent.

“Restaurants are critical partners to the Washington wine industry because the restaurant is where consumers often have their first wine experience. The Washington Wine Restaurant Awards program recognizes those establishments that exhibit strong support of Washington wines with innovative and educational promotions.”

“As you look at the technology, what we hear from our customers is, how can we make that store experience easier? In effect, how can we give the customer more control? How do we give the customer more information?”

“I felt like it was my time to go, even though I was extremely upset that I had lost this opportunity. I knew that there was so much more ahead for me and this was a learning experience to get me through for when the right [opportunity] comes.”

“The challenge pushed me as a leader to strive and come out of my comfort zone. We got to meet so many amazing people who work for MTV and actually getting to be in the TRL studio was an incredible experience that I definitely did not take for granted.”

“Everyone has in their mind a picture of someone with a disability, and it comes from past experience. It is so much broader than that. For us to sit here and say what they can do would be just as complicated as saying what somebody without a disability can do.”

“The bottleneck of PC computing is the laborious nature of hierarchical command structures. It limits the user experience and leads to feature underutilization. The 205PRO can dramatically change this. In commercial applications, the productivity improvement is direct and measurable. For the rest of us, it makes software more interactive and engaging.”

“It was a really intense learning experience because the show was already up and running. We had to assimilate all that had happened in the first half of the season. It was our third day there when they asked us to write some scenes for the next episode. It was trial by fire.”

“Even when he could no longer call a show (giving cues and the like), he had so much to impart, so much experience to share, it was terrific to have him here. We're glad that through the final days he really was here.”
