  ASSERTIVE MOTIVATOR – Skill 1 of 4 (WEEK 38)
The magic of the Broken Record style is its infuriating uniformity—a uniformity that eventually convinces even the most intransigent opponent that the only way to turn off the record is to work with you rather than resist.
The second point that Smith makes explains why Broken Record is so effective in developing assertiveness over time: In sticking to your guns in a calm, unwavering manner, you are signaling to the other person—and, even more important, reminding yourself—that what you say and feel is not dependent on the opinion of other parties.
To someone who energetically listens to others, Broken Record can be an invaluable assertion skill in situations where you are "sure you are right." To someone who doesn't listen to others, or who makes no distinction between his own good, fair, and lousy ideas, Broken Record can be merely an excuse for verbal bullying.

 CNN.com - 97-year-old sailing record broken - May 23, 2002
The original record was set in the New York Yacht Club's 1905 Transatlantic Race by the legendary America's Cup skipper Charlie Barr in the 62-metre (187 ft) three-masted schooner Atlantic.
It was only in 1980 that Atlantic's 1905 record was first broken by French yachtsman Eric Tabarly in the 17-metre (55 ft) foil borne trimaran Paul Ricard in 10 days and 5 hours.
The outright transatlantic sailing record was set by American Steve Fossett in late 2001 in the 38-metre (125 ft) catamaran PlayStation in an incredible time of 4 days, 17 hours and 28 minutes at an average speed of 25.78 knots.

A rare planetary alignment, radon gas emissions, or too much red meat could be responsible, but something has made 1995 the year to beat up on "the limits." Whatever the impetus, we heartily thank the group of ceiling-pushers credited herein.
After all, it's the consecutive records of the sport that pack the biggest wollup when it comes to providing an impressive verbal introduction to footbag for the general public.
From the extreme to the bizarre, perhaps one of the least cited footbag records tracked by the Guiness book is that of the largest circle.

 Broken record? Marek's mark may fall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Marek's school rushing record is about to fall to Ron Dayne, who has rushed for 3,530 yards in his two seasons at Wisconsin.
Moss, who finished with 3,428 yards, almost certainly would have broken the record but gained only 833 yards in his senior season because of a suspension.
If the record has to fall, he is thrilled that it will be to a player the caliber of Dayne.

The Broken Record Technique seems like the kind of writing that is usually pegged as suburban, but Henderson's eyes and ears are capable of looking outside of the strip malls, and a few of his stories bring an eerily urbanized view of farm life to the page.
The finale of The Broken Record Technique, the enigmatically titled "W," seems like the stuff of a bizarre TV movie: a young boy is abducted from his family's small-town home by a man who looks exactly like his father.
The Broken Record Technique, an epigraph from The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook explains, is a psychological ploy which works by way of patient, repeated requests for what you want from someone who doesn't want to give it to you.

 Broken Rod, Broken Record ; Maine Antique Digest, March 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
record auction price of $322,000, bid for a rare L. and J.G. Stickley tall-case clock at the Craftsman sale of Arts and Crafts furniture in Lambertville, New Jersey, on January 20 did not hold because the buyer did not pay for it.
In phone interviews three weeks after the sale, Hendeles said she had not suffered "auction fever," nor was she overtaken by "buyer's remorse" when she refused to pay what she bid and returned the clock to Lambertville, New Jersey.
Thus the auction record cannot go into the auction record books even if this clock sells for more than any other L. and J.G. Stickley tall-case clock because it will be a private sale.

This number, of course, was seized on by the media which trumpeted it as, “a record deficit.” In fact, I haven’t seen the word “record” thrown around by the media this often since the Grammy’s.
Last year I discussed the economic fallacy called “deficit attention disorder.” That is the tendency of the Washington media to focus on these deficits as an end in themselves, rather than as a symptom of a recession.
Not only is the projected 2004 deficit not “a historical record” or “an explosion of red ink.” It’s not even close.

Broken then asked a question, which I hoped would come back around to the issue of Mary, but it has not.
Perhaps it is clearer if I speculate that debate on free will, assurance of salvation, and the sinlessness of Mary all have their root cause in a differing understanding of what grace, hence "full of grace", and more importantly "saved by grace alone" means.
