"In my first group, I let them all know right up front how tough I was. I told them I was different than they were-I did not have an addiction problem.

The group members weren't buying that because they had been there too."

Sous vide is a method of cooking food in vacuum-sealed pouches in a water bath at an accurately determined temperature. This enables the food to be cooked evenly, retaining the juices and aromas which are often lost by traditional cooking methods. Meat, in particular, becomes tender and succulent when cooked in a sous vide. Professional chefs such as Heston Blumenthal have favoured this form of cooking for some time and featured it on their TV shows.Now manufacturers are making water baths available at affordable prices for cooking at home so that all of us can benefit from this new method of cooking.

Annals 14 is the central book of Tacitus' account of the Principate of Nero. He marks it out quite clearly as the turning point of Nero's career. It starts with the murder of Nero's mother, and ends with the murder of his wife; it tells of the death of Burrus and the retirement of Seneca, and Nero's consequent release from all restraint; it contains important sections about military operations in Armenia and Britian; and it demonstrates Tacitus' presentation of themes which he considered to be important; treason trials, moral decay and the position of the Senate. It is a microcosom of Tacitean technique.The author concentrates on providing historical explanation and detail for ancient historians. She also underlines the interrelation of style and content in this work, which is the method Tacitus uses to reveal his own opinion on events by the way in which he presents them.

This volume, aimed at the student of Latin at sixth form to undergraduate level, contains the Latin text of Tacitus' Annals Book XV, supplemented by a useful introduction and notes on the text.
