BBC will liberate the Ian McShane wuthering

Sometime in fall, the Ian McShane take on Wuthering Heights will finally become available on DVD. It was made in the late 60s and should be an interesting addition to any wutheringphile's collection. Check Amazon for more details.

peace out

Natural aids for relaxation and sleep can be found at the nearest health food store or website search. Look for herbal supplements such as valerian (get the capsules, not the herb...the aroma can outweigh the benefits!), scullcap, catnip, hops, California poppy, wild lettuce, lemon balm and passionflower to name just a few. These can be taken separately or in combos offered by various manufacturers. Also check out TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) for a selection of herbs to soothe the spirit. Valerian, in particular, is great for sleep and doesn't leave you zombie the next morning.
