Scotsman David McVicar has blazed a spectacular trail in his fabulous staging of this Baroque opera seria for the 2005 Glyndebourne Festival. His starting material is Georg Frideric Handel?s formidable, four-hour-long ?Giulio Cesare in Egitto? (?Julius Caesar in Egypt?; also known simply as ?Giulio Cesare?), with libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym, after Giacomo Grancesco Bussani?s work of the same name. The sheer length of the piece, with its typically Baroque musical da capo repeats of many verses can easily render this work into a completely boring and tedious affair. However, as you will see for yourself, ?boring? and ?tedious? will hardly apply to this particular staging as conceived by David McVicar and friends. Mr McVicar had the rare privilege of hand-picking his entire cast, and the wisdom of his choices shows clearly in ...
Advantages: Very interesting insight into how your dogs mind works Disadvantages: Not many actual methods of training described in the book
When I first started watching Cesar Millan?s Dog Whisperer program on the National Geographic channel I became a bit obsessed with the program. I recorded every episode on my Sky+ Box and have now seen them all. So I am a big fan.
As soon as this book arrived in the post I started to read it that very night. I couldn?t put it down!! Such a great read. It probably helped that I am a big fan of Cesar anyway. But it does give you a great insight into how your dog sees the world and you.
This is a `Dog Psychology? book, looking at how your dog actually sees the world. Whereas a `Dog Training? book? would look more at teaching your dog commands. Both have there place.

Advantages: My pampered pooch loves it. Disadvantages: A little more expensive than most. Only suitable for small dogs.
months ago, we came across Cesar, and thought we'd give it a go.
The results were amazing. As soon as we put the food in his bowl, he had his nose burried in it, and even licked the bowl after he'd finished. (I get told off for doing that - so how come the dog gets away with it?)
We have yet to find a flavour of Cesar that Bobby doesn't like, and (now, this is really really sad - and I apologise in advance) just like in the adverts, we've put a bowl of an alternative type of dog food next to Cesar, and there was just no contest. Bobby didn't even look at the other dog food.
Our dog loves the stuff, and although it's a little bit more expensive than your usual brands, and the smell of some of the wierd and wonderful flavours tend to linger round the kitchen for an hour or so, it's worth it just to see how grateful Bobby is after he ...
