New year’s resolutions are never easy. Nor are they always followed through to the end. But for Elijah Hayes, backup point guard for the Flagler Saints, his first resolution is already coming to a successful close.

Hayes’ aim was to abstain from meat, dairy, refined sugar, starches and flour for 21 days. No easy task when he had practice six days a week and played 1 to 3 games a week. But Hayes said it was worth it.

Superman doesn’t have to be invincible

By Gena Anderson | ganderson@flagler.edu

It was only a few laps into the hobby feature. My brother was in the far right turn of the track and another car’s nose collided into him. The section our family sat in was entirely on their feet trying to see clearly through the dust of the red clay.

In later years the crowd would grow love him nearly as much as we did and would rise with us, but this was early in his racing career when we alone where his cheerleaders.

Not always a plus

By Emily Hoover | gargoyle@flagler.edu

I’ve never been so bummed about getting an A.

This might sound strange, but as a graduating senior with big plans for graduate school, it frightens me to think a pesky little minus might get in my way. And I don’t mean math class. Luckily, I passed both of the mathematics requirements for an English major my freshman year.

Internet censorship: Could it happen to us?

By Kara Duffy | gargoyle@flagler.edu

The Internet has come to dominate the way people communicate and interact in today’s society. People use the Internet to get information easily and quickly to access anything online.

We take the Internet for granted like it is a necessity rather than a luxury, assuming that we can access and use the Internet whenever and for whatever we want.

I got that body

By Joshua Santos | gargoyle@flagler.edu

I have been working out with a personal trainer every morning for the past week and a half. I am not much of a healthy person. Up until I started working out, I was a pack a day smoker, more than half of my liquid consumption came in the form of malt liquor, and the closest I had ever come to stretching was me trying to put my skinny jeans on in the morning.

Working the holiday rush

By Tiffanie Reynolds | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Placing the last gift basket on the shelf, I took a few steps back and watch as two women behind me rushed and grabbed six each, completely emptying the middle shelf. Walking to the back room to open and empty yet another box, I slid past men and women on their cell phones relaying the items they saw as they rifled through bins and scan shelves. All this while “What a Wonderful World” played through the speakers above.

Carving Your Way

By Phil Grech | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Did you hear that? It sounded like the closing of a cave door collapsing into the ground from a cave occupied by a cave dweller. It sounded like a special effect from an Indiana Jones movie. Stick with me now. I’m going somewhere with this.

It sounded like someone was dragging a shovel over the cement. Remember the sound of shoveling snow? The shovel scraping against the driveway? It was like that, but slow it down. Yes, like that, a slow shovel scarily scraping.

Adobe set to make big changes

By Kara Duffy | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Adobe plays an essential part in consumer, educational and professional technologies. As these technologies are changing, Adobe must stay as user-friendly as it has been in the past.

In 2007, Apple banned Adobe from its iPhone and from its iPad in 2010. As Apple began to expand its technologies, Adobe’s software became incompatible. Adobe Flash could not perform well on mobile devices, especially touch screen devices.

Military life is always changing

By Amber James | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Passing or failing, friends and the next alcoholic beverage–these are some of the things most kids my age are thinking of. Don’t get me wrong, these are concerns that occupy my mind as well. But I also have some unique concerns, like how to deal with military deployments, managing financial accounts for two and what to make my husband for dinner. Yes, I said husband.

I might have jumped the gun, being married earlier than most, but one defining factor pushed us in that direction, the military.

After a low-scoring first half, the Saints came back in the second looking like a new team in their first win of the season Tuesday, Nov. 22, against Webber International University.

The first points of the game were not scored until almost two minutes into the game when Shelbi Lindsey, a forward for Flagler College, sank a 3-pointer. Lindsey led the team in scoring with 17 points.
