2011 Student Union Officers Election Nominations 9:00 Mon 17th Jan until 12:00 Fri 11th Feb.

Sheffield University Union is looking for eight enthusiastic and determined students to work together and have the passion to lead and improve the union, helping to better the lives of students. Each position in the union has a specific role and importance; could you see yourself being president? If not then there are many different roles to apply for which could suit you, contact the union for more information. Each officer takes a year out during or after their studies to work full time, earning a salary, which could help them fund future studies. All you need to do is nominate yourself and submit your application no later than 11th February. Do you think you have what it takes? Email ‘Officer’ to elections@ shef.ac.uk

Bar One: Exam Slam 2011 Thu 3 Feb 2011 10:00 til 2:00 Bar One’s legendary end of exams slam is taking place on Thursday 3rd February and it is guaranteed to be huge. Not feeling too rough from ROAR! the night before? Then get yourself down to Bar One as early as possible, as it is bound to be packed. Doors open at 10am and don’t close until 2am so if you do have other things to do, you still have plenty of time to take advantage of the cheap drink and food promotions as well as enjoying the amazing atmosphere with all your fellow students.

Live Wire and Sheffield Students Union present the 2011 Student Band Competition which will be taking place in the Raynor Lounge throughout February and March. This year the prizes are better than ever for the two lucky bands that win the competition, including a slot supporting a well known touring band. There are three heats, with the final being held in the Foundry, which should be a very exciting night for all of the bands, especially the winners. Unfortunately, the application process has now ended but you can still go along and give the bands your support!

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Mondays’ total request party is back for the new year and prices are cheaper than ever. Celebrate the end of exams by getting to the Union and taking advantage of the fantastic drink offers. Many drinks are only £1, including VK, Carlsberg bottles and Strongbow pints. You can expect the usual chart hits and what you request is up to you. Doors open at 11pm and before midnight tickets are only £1 as well. With drinks and entry at only £1, this is a night out that you can definitely afford on a student budget.

FROM HAPPY MONDAYS & CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER

SUprise your loved one cook a full Italian meal, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell... (WINK WINK)

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and… The Student loves you? That’s why we’ve compiled a guide filled with all things Valentine, whether you be loved up or riding solo.

G N I Y A T S in

Imagine catching your loved one’s eye over a towering pile of popadoms, giggling over a spicy chicken Jalfrezi and flirting over a freshly cooked peshwari naan. Ever heard of the legend of the 7 spices? No? Then use Valentines as an excuse to find out. 7 Spices Balti on West Bar holds the secret, along with unique décor and unbeatable atmosphere. Tantalise your taste buds with tempting Indian flavours; chef’s specials include Fish Massalam, Macon Murgh, Mango Chicken and Tandoori King Prawn Masala.

www.7spicesbalti.co.uk tel: 0114 275 7695

perhaps you left it too late to book a decent restaurant. Perhaps the only time they can fit you in is 1am. Do not fear – staying in is the new going out. Chuck out your housemates, pop in the Marvin Gaye CD and impress with a delectable feast to put seduction in mind. Picture the scene: twinkling fairy lights, rose petals scattered on the chairs, places set for two with sparkling cutlery, cork popped and a gourmet Italian meal sat oozing taste anticipation on the plates. The reality? A “romantic” takeaway pizza eaten out of a greasy box on the sofa. But no longer need the former be merely a dream! Here at The Student we know how to cheat a bit, with our allies in cooking crime lying in wait at Italian Express in Walkley. Offering something quite a bit different to your local takeaway, the guys at Italian Express prepare every single dish to order, with authentic ingredients imported from Italy. Think Cozze Picccanti (mussels cooked with chilli, white wine and tomato sauce) to start, followed by Pollo Diana (filleted breast of chicken cooked with mushroom, red wine, mustard and onion, brandy and cream), topped off with home-made tiramisu… all like Mama used to make, delivered to your door! (And who needs to know you didn’t cook it yourself…?) www.italian-express.net, tel: 0114 231 5757 Mmm, a good old smooch over a spicy curry. What more could you need to get the Valentine’s party started? We know what you’re thinking; a dodgy curry is never the recipe for success where some loving is concerned. But look no further than Inteha in Walkley for an authentic, lip-smackingly tasty Indian treat.

Fancy dabbling in a taste of Thai luxury this Valentines? Then look no further than Patoo on Ecclesall Road - a stylish haven of premium Thai cuisine. We tend to think Thai is the food of love, and with intriguing treats like Gai Ma-Nao, Moo Pad Kraprao and Hed Med Mamung Himmapharn who wouldn’t be seduced? The special Valentine’s set menus are available from the 13th to 15th February, with the ‘Love Is Joy’ version including the choices of bundle of asparagus and tiger prawn, chicken green curry, jasmine steamed rice and a Thai dessert.

EATING OUT

GIFTS OF

LOVE

With Valentine’s Day creeping ever closer, the deadline for finding that perfect present is looming. Don’t panic – rushing out on the 13th to invest in a tacky pink teddy from the newsagents will definitely score zero points on the seduction scale. To ease the pressure, our shopping pixies at The Student present to you the Valentine’s Shopping Guide; we’ve done all the hard work so you can turn your attention to the more important decisions – like what on earth you are going to write in that love letter.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii FOR HER

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

1. Lingerie – Can be a tricky one; getting her size wrong is a big no-no. Granny knickers aren’t good for anyone involved but slutty suspenders are a risky choice. Either pay attention when she’s perusing the rails in Debenhams or try a romantic lingerie shopping trip for two. Babydoll, La Senza £25 Bra, La Senza £28 Knickers, La Senza £16

3. Perfume is always a good choice… slightly impersonal but as long as you choose a sexy scent and not the one her mother wears, you’ll be on to a winner. Georgio Armani – Armani Code 30ml, The Perfume Shop £34.99 Jean Paul Gaultier – Classique 50ml, The Perfume Shop £44.99

4. Melted chocolate all over who knows what could happen? Don’t listen to the moans of dieting; no girl can resist a box of chocolates when it’s waved under her nose.

2. Ah – the sweet scent of a beautiful red rose. What could be more romantic? And erm… pricey. Prepare to be robbed.

Sweet Lips, Hotel Chocolat £4.25 Sealed With A Kiss, Hotel Chocolat £40

Red roses in heart box, Interflora £39.99 Single rose in vase with chocolates, Interflora £26.95

FOR HIM

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

1. We all love a bit of a surprise when that fly unzips so make it a good one with some fancy undercrackers to embarrass him with.

3. Is the wine alright, Madam?” Yes, thank you, Mr Sexy Waiter, it is very much alright. Waiter set, Ann Summers £12

Diesel boxer set of 3, USC £45 Scribble print boxers, Topman £6

TOPK PIC 2. Mmm, the sensual whiff of sweaty pits. Not for you? Then spritz him up with a splash of fragrance. Paco Rabanne 1 Million 50ml, The Perfume Shop £34.99 Calvin Klein CK Be 50ml, The Perfume Shop £19.99

3. Boys like chocolate too. Especially when they can dip and share and lick. Love Dipping Adventure, Hotel Chocolat, £17 Hero Chocolate Tablet, Hotel Chocolat, £8

BLOGGED

AN INSIGHT TO THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE THICK OF THE TOPICS YOU LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT...

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Kate Hobson

At the risk of disappointing those readers who thought this column would be all about the wild bed hoppings of a sex-crazed slutbag, I must first clarify that this is not the Student Karma Sutra. Life as a (sexy) single student in Sheffield gives me plenty to fill this column with, giving you nosey readers an insight into the life of a student girl about town. My tastes of relationships in the past have not given me much to savour; in a word, mind numbingly boring. The drone and monotony of seeing the same person every single day does nothing for the loving feeling in my opinion. I see my friends still in the same relationship they were in at school and think; “are they honestly happy with that same guy? Or do they just think they are as they’ve not tried anyone else?” A shiver actually runs down my spine when I think of being stuck in a relationship. Urgh. And for some reason, the kind of guys one finds oneself edging towards the relationship border with are, upsettingly, always those wet sort of guys who almost stumble over themselves to get to that bridge you’ve just politely asked them to jump off. I’ve tried to be satisfied with this, I really have (as it’s no doubt more sensible) but come ON. Give a girl some excitement. Yawn. Thus my thirst for stimulation drives me to seek out those members of the male species with a bit of life within them… always providing some light-hearted entertainment for you, Reader, and undoubtedly resulting in a few casualties along the way. Oops, sorry boys…

Shaun Martin With the hangover from the night before haunting me, somehow I still have the sudden urge to start typing to tell all you nosey students the tall tales I’ve got about the weekend I’ve just endured. Ringing the “Goonies” (as we call them), we started off in the Common Room; decent. The music wasn’t loud enough (but that’s probably because it was full), the snooker hall was heaving but after taking advantage of three Glitterbombs (Goldshläger and Redbull) for £7.50, I was getting well on the way to one of those nights. Next: Rise on West Street. Seems to be quieter since they took the double vodka Redbulls off at £3, replacing them with two VK’s for £3.50; still not bad but I wasn’t one to be getting cherry VK spilled all over a white Alex Christopher vest, sticking to the Peroni. After here we ventured over to Bia Hoi, crammed the second I walked in. Losing everyone, I could here the Goonies giggling over the price of the vodka buckets (£5). “Bargain”, I thought at first; until I clocked the amount of ice the bartender was packing into the bucket. Hmm. We moved on to Alibi on Trippet Lane - never heard of it to be honest but glad I went. It’s defo going to be a regular haunt in my adventures - heaving and I actually knew quite a lot of people in there which surprised me. The massive pints you get for £3.50 looked like a pint and half in one glass, although the music wasn’t the best… they could do with a mellow house DJ cracking out some classics in there. And so it came time for the club. Stumbling like new born cattle, we “strolled” down to Steel House to see what the deal was. The dance floor looked to be falling like a lead balloon - must have had just ten people on all night, so as you would we left. I carried on the night in Embrace, which I have come to regret - not only was it full of the same goons and locals but the music was terrible with songs repeated every hour (CD on loop?). I guarantee from now on I won’t be going out on Fridays; why should I when I can go to Shuffle on Saturday and listen to some decent house and tech?! To top it off I woke up with a massive bruise on my leg - anyone who knows how this happened feel free to contact me…

Nicole Froio Learning how to live on your own is difficult. I suspect staying healthy is the most difficult part of it - and your diet has a massive role in that. At home, I was always cooked for and I think most students can relate to the fact that most of the time there’s no time or no patience to cook elaborate or nutritious meals. I am not the best person to give you advice about food. I am a disaster at cooking and I only like making cupcakes. Which aren’t at all bad, actually. My attempts to feed myself are pretty pathetic. Most of the time I cannot be bothered to cook properly, so I have beans on toast or a bowl of cereal. Cooking with some one else can be a lot of fun though. I mostly just hover and watch my housemate cook the food we share, hoping to be able to help but not too much because I don’t really know how to do anything and I don’t want the meal to be ruined. So I usually do the washing up - I find this a pretty good deal. Or, you know, you could just live on toast. I’m sure that’s an acceptable lifestyle, especially during exams. I know it sounds like I’m joking, but never underestimate toast; you can have it with beans, cheese, tuna, tomatoes, ham, and I could go on. However I must say the best thing about this whole food at uni debacle is going back home and being able to truly appreciate your mother’s food. I have never appreciated good food so much, no matter what it is.

Sophie Bromley Piazza A new year, a new wardrobe. That seems to be a lot of people’s sentiment when the clock strikes midnight yet come January 5th, your bank balance is holding back all those good intentioned resolutions. But don’t despair! A lot of key 2010 looks are clinging on for another season. Those pricey clogs you ‘had to have’, are still hot to trot. The even better news, is that this year’s signature themes are so much fun. 2011 is set to be the year of retrospect. The 50’s and 60’s silhouette will have fully invaded come summer. Think full skirts, cropped jackets and capri pants. Take scissors to spray on jeans when the chill lifts for an instant, affordable wardrobe update. Match with a knotted shirt and pillabox lips for a casual, rockabilly edge to this sophisticated look. The 70s started to creep in last Autumn and the look is set to explode this Spring for both women and men. Flares are the jean cut of choice (perfect with those clogs again), and super wide trousers are to eclipse the all mighty maxi dress. Maxi lovers have no fear, as they are not lost but revamped with sheer fabrics and crochet for a more refined look. Alternatively, for the very brave, go Starsky and Hutch in head-to-toe denim. However, all must be worn with attitude. Think 50s movie stars pounding the streets of Rome and nonchalant hippies. Confidence is key in transforming these high fashion looks from dress up to chic. 2011 is not for the half-hearted.

STUDENTSTROLOGY

Although you dislike change, this year will be all about whipping out the surprises and shocking your fellow housemates. Who strutted downstairs in a mankini this morning?

Ah, Pisces. Always the hopeless romantic. 2011 will, unfortunately, see yet more of your woeful soul pining after those you cannot have. Maybe after the fifth rejection you’ll realise that not everyone is after marriage and kids by the time they’re 20.

Oops – someone’s going to be causing some falling outs this year. And that someone is you, Aries. Find a special, quiet place to breathe and calm those angry beans unless you want to find yourself alone on a Saturday night.

You do love a good hug, don’t you Taurus? And who doesn’t? Hugs are to be shared though, remember; this year I don’t want to see you sulking in the corner because you didn’t get one.

Work placement. China. Do it.

Ooh Cancer – you always make me feel warm inside. Just keep doing what you do but remember – always wear a little rubber coat.

Do you share the same birthday as Rihanna? Real Name : Robyn Rihanna Fenty Born : February 20, 1988 Ocupation : Red haired singing beauty Other celebrity birthdays are, Shakira 02 Feb, Bob Marley 06 Feb, Ashton Kutcher 07 Feb, Paris Hilton 17 Feb

Oh dear, Leo. What’s that I see? A few too many red figures lurking in your bank account? The overdraft is a magical thing, and don’t you know it. I doubt you’ll still be best budies though when you discover you don’t have enough pennies left for a Pot Noodle.

Essays, deadlines, references, libraries, portfolios – ah, the life of a student. But don’t panic so, Virgo, it will all be alright in the end. I always find keeping a chunky stud muffin hidden in the shelves at the back of Floor 5 helps to relieve some of the tension; maybe I’ll let you borrow him.

Ooh – sneaky, sneaky. 2011 will have you discovering all kinds of secrets, but the interesting part is what to do with your new found knowledge…. Play wisely, Scorpio.

The waters are still, Libra, but there may be tremors on your peaceful lake of tranquillity. And once those ripples appear the culprits had better watch out.

What a burst of radiant sunshine you are, Sagittarius. When the world is gloomy you will be there putting a smile on everyone’s face. Mwah.

Capricorn. We’re all up for a good bit of dosh coming in from that Saturday job but when you’re dropping lectures in order to stack the shelves there’s something a bit odd going on. There is more to life than a chicken soup stock take.

Love & Other Drugs (15)

In cinemas now, student discount available, valid NUS card must be shown for telephone bookings at Cineworld Centertainment call 0871 200 2000 .

Brilliant film to see with your girlfriends, if you can bear to share Jake Gillenhall with them! Ann Hathaway rocks the role as a temperamental girl whose issues aren’t all her fault, playing the field and surprising a womaniser at his own games, only to beat him and have him fall for her (yeah I know, saw that one coming right...?). Naturally, there are a few hiccups along the way but it’s full of giggles and awkward situations and conversations that we have all been in at some point.

Oh - the usual warning: be prepared to well up a touch somewhere along the way. Boys - classic fourth date film when you’ve decided you actually like this girl, full of gorgeous girls and the kind of film they will love you for taking them to see. Feel-good at its best.

Our top secret treat of the month is Ben & Jerrys ice cream - the perfect cold treat either at the cinema in the delicous mini pots or even at home with the 500ml pots it’s perfect to share or to enjoy yourself. £4.29 at TESCO on West Street.

The Next Three Days (12A)

In cinemas now, student discount available, valid NUS card must be shown for telephone bookings at Cineworld Centertainment, call 0871 200 2000. This hard hitting thriller keeps you aching for more, with surprises in constant supply right until the end; this film will have you hanging onto the edge of your seat, dying to know the outcome. Right from the outstanding opening scene this blockbuster entices you to stay hooked on the action right through to the closing titles which are a welcome rest from the intensity. A star-studded cast of impeccable actors ensures the roles are believable and, to a certain extent, you can absolutely empathise with them. The original version of this film has its place in film history but lacks what this remake can offer; a huge budget which results in a far more elaborate production.

Meet the Little Fockers (PG-13)

In cinemas now, student discount available, valid NUS card must be shown for telephone bookings at Cineworld Centertainment call 0871 200 2000.

Entertaining but yes - a little predictable. Following “Meet the Fockers” and “Meet the Parents”, this film follows in their footsteps but sadly doesn’t surpass any expectations. Definitely chuckle worthy but its not something that will go down in your ‘films never to be forgotten’ file. However, it is one that will entertain you for the duration of the film, for an evening of sitting down to watch something that doesn’t hurt your head with complicated plot lines, twists and turns, simply just a bit of immature banter passing over you. For that this is definitely the one to pick.

THA WOT?

Cee Lo Green Ladykiller

Rhianna Loud

A seemingly unstoppable force in current musical trends; she seems to hit every spot. With a host of top-rate producers at her side for the making of this album, it is not so surprising that the outcome is a strong one, featuring StarGate, Tricky Stewart and Alex da Kid producing a brilliant fusion of pop, R&B and dance. If you like the singles released so far including, “Only Girl (In the World)” and “What’s My Name”, this record will absolutely feed your appetite for tracks. This confident release has highlights including the fantastic “Love the Way You Lie Part II” with the talented Eminem, and the stunning “Skin”, both bringing a powerful platform for Rhianna’s soulful and commanding voice to shine through, in a driven way to showcase her talents. Collaborations include those with Drake and Nicki Minaj, which whilst complementing Ri Ri’s voice, the 23 year old seems to rise above them both.

This amazing album is an instalment from a talented and intelligent man. Developed to appeal to the widest possible audience, the album sadly eludes his hip hop vibes in order to produce something more radio friendly, which Cee Lo hopes will assist him to reach the ‘megastardom’ he so obviously deserves. This concept simply whets my appetite for previous and future albums which may revert back to his previous hip hop routes, perhaps enticing those people who would normally shy away from hip hop into his world. A lot of these tracks are insanely upbeat and perfect for beating those January and Valentine’s blues, smile at a random person and maybe even have a little boogie on your way to wherever you might be headed.

(www.hmv.com customer reviews)

One of the biggest and most well known emerging stars from 2010, Ellie Goulding burst onto the scene in a flow of girly pop music, which continues to move fluidly through this album. Unfortunately, I am not a pop princess at heart which means that I was sadly disappointed by this album due to perhaps unrealistic expectations. If toe tapping and at times heart wrenching, tear jerking and occasionally, power grabbing pure pop is your idea of a chart topping album, this is definitely the one for you. I, however, expect something a little more unusual and interesting, perhaps unwisely. With over 300,000 sales of this album so far, I guess this might well be simply my point of view, depending on your personal tastes and what you are hoping for, you might as well give it a go, if that kind of thing floats your boat.

These may be the biggest hidden gem that I’ve ever come across. They are the Urbanears earphone range - with their wide range of colours they are the perfect match for that day outfit. My favourite are pictured right - the turquoise range. It also comes with a custom microphone and remote which is compatible with iPhones so get them on and enjoy crystal clear sound, looking the part. only £39.99 www.hmv.com with free delivery.

Chase and Status No more idols

Drum and bass madmen pump up the volume and make the bass as heavy as possible in the follow up to their 2008 debut ‘More Than Alot’. With this album more mainstream than the last, it won’t be long ‘til they are topping the charts with a huge host of chart regulars to add to the symphony of sound including Plan B, Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal & Cee Lo Green. Make sure you look out for the classy British bulldog artwork for the album cover and you’ll be in for a winner.

who was your inspiration to start dj’ing?

My main inspiration for djing is Micky Slim. He played in Sheffield at DQ ‘SuperCharged’ when I was working for ‘Charged’ and that was it. He just has so much energy and puts a lot of effort into his sets and that’s what I enjoyed most. His set was just nuts and had everyone going crazy. I enjoy watching djs as well as listening to them. It is all about entertaining and interacting with the crowd whilst you play in my opinion. My main inspirations for production these days are Stupid Fresh, ZubaGroove, Little Bastard, Nom De Strip, Seb Leger, The Dutch Rudder, Eigo and Supermarket DJ’s and Beataucue...

when and where was your favourite DJ set?

In stores now £8.99 www.hmv.com with free delivery included it’s a steal.

I can’t pick a favourite gig ‘cause all gigs are special to me in different ways, but my most memorable gigs are, warming up for Micky Slim at Sunday Sessions, playing with the Squatters & Heavyfeet at Nocturnal, playing with Foamo at the Harley, warming up for Krafty Kuts and Plug, DQ ‘Krooked’ in January 2010, Tramlines 2010 and of course the numerous house parties... Pictured right with Dj legend Micky Slim

what is your favourite crowd pleasing floorfiller?

I have a few different tunes for different occasions. You can never really plan a set, ‘cause if you go into a set with big heavy tunes and it is dead then it wont work, If you go into a club with a chilled out set and it is rammed then you gotta flip it around. ‘Escobar and Vito-Who’s the Badman?’ is a banger that is always played from when I first started ‘til this day.

if you could take any item with you on a desert island what would it be? My laptop and can I take can of Irn Bru as well please?

if you could mate with any human being who would it be?

It would definetely have to be Jessica Alba

when are you next playing?

I am next playing at ‘One Love’ in Rotherham on the 12th of February, Mission at Leeds on the 21st of February and M-Code, Sheffield on the 26th of February. Check my Facebook and Twitter for dates and releases.
