"Dr. Woodie Flowers, FIRST National Advisor and Pappalardo Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, coined the term "Gracious Professionalism."
Gracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of FIRST. It's a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.
With Gracious Professionalism, fierce competition and mutual gain are not separate notions. Gracious professionals learn and compete like crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process. They avoid treating anyone like losers. No chest thumping tough talk, but no sticky-sweet platitudes either. Knowledge, competition, and empathy are comfortably blended.
In the long run, Gracious Professionalism is part of pursuing a meaningful life. One can add to society and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing one has acted with integrity and sensitivity."

Vinyl Art by Daniel Edlen is music-inspired portraiture on vinyl records. It was developed by Daniel Edlen as a teenager in the 1990's while growing up in Southern California. He started collecting 33 1/3 LPs and ended up with unplayable duplicates. Rather than throwing them away, Edlen uses white acrylic and handpaints portraits onto the worn albums with the density of the paint creating the shading. The paintings are almost like black and white newspaper photographs in reverse. He paints the musician(s) "right on the physical canvas of their music" and then frames the record in front of the original album sleeve. Favoring no particular musical genre, Vinyl Art has depicted artists like Ray Charles, Lou Reed and Janis Joplin.
Now based near Phoenix, Arizona, Edlen was motivated to publicize and sell his work in late 2006 by friends and family looking for personal unique gifts. Exhibited at both music-inspired and lowbrow art galleries in the United States, Vinyl Art is also being sought by collectors of artwork with specific musicians or entertainers as the subject.
Viewers often comment on the amount of detail and the accuracy of the portraits, sometimes assuming a computer is involved in a mechanical process to create the images.
"No, they're handpainted with a brush, and no, you can't play them anymore."
