Interview: Gervase Peterson talks 'Survivor: Blood vs. Water'
'Survivor' original and 3rd Place finisher talks about his Final Jury shutout
On the very first "Survivor," Gervase Peterson was an early favorite, but he fell victim to the Pagonging of his original tribe after the Merge, becoming the third member of the original Jury.
After spending 30 days in "Survivor: Borneo," Gervase had to wait 13 years to get another shot at "Survivor" and he mostly made it count, forming a strong core alliance and working it all the way to end and the Final 3.
Of course, getting to the Final 3 only does limited good if you face a Jury and get shut out, which is what happened to Gervase on Sunday's "Survivor: Blood vs. Water" finale. The respect of the "Blood vs. Water" Jury largely went to the season's winner, Tyson, who was credited as the architect and driving force of a powerhouse three-person alliance.
That perhaps doesn't give Gervase credit for what was the season's biggest tangible power shift, as he turned his back on outside-of-the-game friend Aras and helped lead two straight votes that swayed the season.
In his exit interview, Gervase explains why he picked Tyson over Aras, how he knew that the Jury wasn't going his way and why he perfects Old School "Survivor" to New School.
Click through for the fill Q&A...
HitFix: So, okay. Last night's vote as it was revealed, how much of that had you anticipated? Did anything surprise you?
Gervase Peterson: I think I was surprised I didn't get any votes. I didn't think I was gonna get a lot, but I figured I was definitely gonna get something. I mean after that Tribal Council was over, just the vibe, I felt like, "Man, Tyson won this thing." You know, just the way the Jury was acting with me. Some of the Jury didn't even ask me a question. You know, they kind of just talked to Tyson. They had questions for him, for Monica. So just the vibe I was like, "Wow, it's gonna be tough for me to win this game."
HitFix: Well, whose vote did you figure you were most likely to have maybe gotten?
Gervase Peterson: I figured that I had a good chance maybe to get Laura Morett's vote. Or maybe Katie's vote. When Katie won her Immunity challenge, the day before she was walking down the beach and she was just bummed out. And I went to her and I was like, "Katie, you know, pick your head up. You're still in this game. You need to get your head out your ass and play. The game's not over until you're voted out the game. You know, you're here. Fight." And it was just this little pep talk for her and she goes out and wins the challenge. And she came to me and she was like, you know, "Thank you because I was at a low moment in this game and you're the only person that just came to me and just showed me any type of love like that." So I was hoping that that would stick with Katie, you know, and maybe get a vote from her.
HitFix: Well going into that final Tribal Council, how much of your strategy in your mind sort of relied on the Jury, I guess, being actively angry with Tyson?
Gervase Peterson: A lot. My whole strategy was based on that. I mean that was one of the reasons why at Tribal Council I was arguing with Hayden. I wasn't losing my mind. It was all controlled and it was planned out for me. I knew Hayden was gonna go into Tribal Council and try to blow it up and I even said to Tyson, I'm like, "You know he's gonna do this." And he went, "Yeah, I know." I said, "Are you gonna say anything?" He said, "Nope." I was like, "Well, you know, I'm gonna say something." And he was like, "Do what you gotta do, bro." I'm like, "All right. Cool." And that was my way of telling Tyson, "I'm gonna argue with Hayden and I'm gonna throw my own dirt around so don't be mad at me for doing it." So my plan was to just keep on having Hayden get more agitated. Because the more agitated Hayden would get, the more he would say that Tyson was running show, Tyson was making all the moves and pulling all the strings which eventually was gonna make Tyson have to say something to defend himself. And then what does he do at the end when Katie gets voted out? He's like, "Katie, good job but that seat over there is for you." And everybody was pissed at Tyson for doing that. They were like, "That was uncalled for. She just got voted out. Like that was a dirty move for you to do." Katie even brought it up at the Final Tribal Council. You know what I mean? Like that's how much it hurt her. So I was like, "Yes!" That was my plan, just to have Tyson look like more of a villain than me and to me that was the only way to do it. I felt like I was gonna go to the Final 3 with them. So he's just gotta look worse than me.
HitFix: And when you got to Final Tribal how quickly were you able to tell that there was not enough anger, I guess.
Gervase Peterson: Pretty much right away. I mean, after Vytas's first speech, I knew I was in trouble. And then everybody else… like some people didn't even ask me a question. At Tribal, they didn't say anything to me. They only spoke to Tyson or Tyson and Monica. And that's just the kiss of death. If nobody's asking me a question about my game play, then you don't even think I'm playing the game. So I was like, "Wow, this is gonna be tough for me to win this game."
HitFix: Now, okay. One of the most important moments of the entire season which I felt probably didn't get enough time was the decision to go against Aras. You were at the center of that. Talk a bit about that decision and why you went Tyson over Aras.
Gervase Peterson: Well there was so much to that. You know, Aras wrote my name down the first day on the beach and that stayed with me. He wrote Candice's name down, crossed it out because he didn't want Candice to be mad at him if she stayed and didn't get voted out, because she would have came after him. So he wrote my name down but I'm like, "Aras, we're boys. I should do the same thing with you. Why are you gonna have Candice mad at me gunning for me but not you?" So I thought that was kind of a dirty move on Aras's part. And then just throughout the game, Aras was just making deals with everybody. But every time he would talk about an alliance he would tell somebody, "Hey, here's our Final 5. Me, you, you, you and Vytas. Hey, here's our final four. Me, you, you and Vytas. Hey here's our final three. Me, you and Vytas." And I'm like, "Wow, Aras doesn't care about me. He only cares about Vytas and at some point in time he's gonna try to get rid of me and keep Vytas." And I just saw the writing on the wall early so for me it was like, "I've got to get rid of this guy as soon as possible." But I just needed a way to do it and Tyson came up to me like, "Hey, what do you think about getting rid of Aras?" And I'm like, "There it is. Here's my opportunity." Because I knew Tina was tight with him and Monica. I couldn't trust Colton and Kat or Laura B. So my pickings were slim to go against Aras. I felt like they would run and tell him. So when Tyson came to me that was my opportunity and that made it easier.
And I knew we could pull it off because Aras put all of his faith and trust in me. So he knew if he was gonna go home I would tell him. And that's why he was so hurt when he went home. And when it happened I'm like, "I know I lost." It's like taking a grenade and throwing it. The grenade took out Aras, but the shrapnel took out Vytas, Tina and Katie. And I'm like, "Man, I just lost four Jury votes, just like that, if they make the jury," you know. It was like, "Wow, I'm in trouble." But to me you've gotta make Final 3. You know, people are talking about, "You have to play to win the game," but if you don't make Final 3, you can't win period. So my goal was make Final 3 and then work it from there.
HitFix: And when did you realize that there might be sort of difficulties beating Tyson. I mean at what point did you start realizing, "OK, maybe I need to do something," but it was too late I guess.
Gervase Peterson: I realized that early on on the Galang beach. Everybody loved Tyson. Because Tyson came in with this rep as a villain and nobody looked at him that way. I remember Tina saying, "You're no villain at all. You're a funny guy. You're nice." And I'm like, "Wow." On a likability factor, Tyson was high with me. We're both likeable, you know. And he was smart and he was playing the game, you know. And so was I, but sitting next to him... It's funny, you know. I know more of the things that happened because me and Tyson went through the game together, but we were both playing our asses off with this game, just in different ways. But I knew it was gonna be tough to beat him because everybody liked this guy, no matter what he did. Like Tyson was like that guy that can come up, talk about your mama, smack your daughter in the mouth and make a joke about it and you'll tell him, "Oh, that was okay." And laugh with him about it. He just has that knack for insulting you and you not getting mad about it. And that's a gift. And once I saw that, I was like, "Wow." You know, I need to stay with him and go to the end or, you know, you try to get rid of him. It was just hard to find a time to try to make a move on Tyson.
But then I couldn't trust anybody else. I couldn't trust Hayden, Caleb, Ciera, Katie because those guys were flipping and flopping so much. And I'm like I would kick myself if I flipped on Tyson and I went home fifth or sixth. Like Ciera, you know, to me? Dumb move. No matter what everybody's telling you, you're guaranteed the Final 4 spot and guess what? If you're Final 4 and you had immunity you're automatic Final 3. But if you flip someone, you might go out fifth or sixth. Is that worth it? You've got to look at your position in the game and it's kind of like saying "I want to make Final 3 for Tribal," you know, and then worry about winning after that because if you don't make Final 3, you can't win. So it was just playing in my head that way.
HitFix: Well regarding that Ciera flip and, of course, the rock drawing. I had several people claim that basically you made that happen by convincing Ciera that her position wasn't very good. Did you feel like that out there?
Gervase Peterson: It was going through my head a little bit. Again, I'm sitting at Tribal like, "How can I make a move against Tyson to not piss him off and then look like I got rid of him like I did Aras so he would give me his vote." That was kind of playing in my head, but then as it was shaking out it was just, the only way I knew I could beat Tyson at Tribal was that him bringing that more dirt on his hands than me. That's one of the reasons I was arguing with Hayden, because I knew if I argued with Hayden he would keep on telling everybody Tyson was the man running the show. And at some point Tyson had to step up and say something about it. And he did when he told Katie, you know, Katie already got voted out. Here's Tyson, "Hey Katie. Good job. Oh, by the way, your seat's over there now. Enjoy it." You know. And everybody was pissed at him for it. I mean Katie even brought it up at the final Tribal she was so mad about that. And I'm like, "Yes, my plan worked. You know, if Tyson looks dirtier than me I have a shot to win."
HitFix: Well but still there was sort of the chance that Ciera was gonna be content in that alliance and you sort of brought it up that she was indeed sort of at the bottom and that was kind of what flipped her it looked like.
Gervase Peterson: Honestly I didn't think I did. At that point, you know, Jeff is like well, you know, "Who's in your alliance?" I'm like, you know, "It's me, Monica, Tyson and Ciera." I was just calling them out. She just happened to be last on the list just because that's how I called it out. You know what I mean? It wasn't intentional to make her fourth. But, of course, Monica didn't help out. When Monica tells her, "Four is better than six." So that was the killer. Because even when Jeff said, "Hey Ciera, Gervase didn't take you to eat ice cream." She was like, "Yeah, I understand. He's been tight with them. That's cool." So Ciera knew she was, in a sense, fourth. That wasn't a shock to her, but she was okay with it for now. But it's just the more everybody kept talking, me included, it was painting a picture that, "You really are four." And I think Monica's words were worse than mine telling her four is better than six. It's like, "Take fourth and shut the hell up about it," you know. I would be pissed about that too. But if somebody's like, "Who's in your alliance?" And I'm like, "Oh yeah, Tyson, Monica and Ciera." Are you mad about that? You're like, "Cool, he said me." You want to hear your name.
HitFix: Now obviously big differences between "Survivor 1" and "Survivor 27" and you've been watching so you were sort of aware to expect certain differences. But what was the difference that surprised you the most?
Gervase Peterson: The players. Everything is fast paced now. When we first hit the beach day one, Colton came to me and he said, "Hey, here's our alliance. It's me, you, Aras, Monica and Kat." I said, "Colton, say I don't like somebody in that alliance. I've got to play with them for 39 days?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "That's the dumbest s*** I've ever heard in my life, man." And he said, "Boyfriend, you better get on board or you're going home next." And I'm like, "You little s***. I started this game. How are you gonna tell me to play the game that I started?" But that's what they do. They make an alliance right away and they don't care who's in it. But to me, your alliance is absolutely gonna break up. Somebody's gonna stab you in the back. So that's what I told everybody. I said, "Look, I'm shutting this down. I'm not talking strategy or alliances until we lose our first challenge. We figured out who to vote out day one on the beach in 30 seconds. We can figure that out in two hours." So I shut it down and we went nine days without losing a challenge. That gave me nine days to sit down and talk with every single body in my tribe and actually get to know them. So I knew I wanted to play with Tyson. I knew I wanted to play with Monica. I knew I wanted to play with Aras and I knew I wanted to play with Tina. Like those are the five people, the four people that I wanted to play with and make an alliance with. Because I had time to talk to them and get to know them well. But that's the big difference. Like Colton, he wanted to go to Tribal Council if we won. He still wanted to go, just to vote somebody out. So I'm like, "Why would you want to vote somebody out? We're winning." "It doesn't matter. We need to make moves. We need to do things here." Because these new players, all they care about are making big moves and big blindsides. And I'm like, "You don't have to do that to play the game and go far in the game." But it's just how things have changed.
HitFix: Now has the the survival aspect rather of the game, has it become sort of devalued or downplayed between 1 and 27?
Gervase Peterson: I think it has if you're watching on TV. For example, you know, we didn't get Reward challenges for food, you know, it was always pillows, blankets, fish hooks, things like that. Where now it's always for food. But they should be. People don't understand how much you starve. Like we didn't eat out there. Even though the Coconut Bandits ate a lot, drank a lot of coconuts, we ate all the food out there but the only time you're eating is if you do win that Reward challenge. So you really are starving out there. And that meal doesn't do anything for you because you burn through it so fast because you've been starving for 13 days, 21 days out there. So that's good. I think people watching it, I think they thought it was easy. Like, you know, there was like, "Your hair's not growing under your arms or on your legs. Your teeth look so white out there. You're always eating." It looks like we're having fun. But it's so boring out there. Every day there's nothing to do except look at each other. You have to make it fun. And that's what was cool about having Tyson on my team and Aras, you know. All we do is crack jokes the whole time.
HitFix: And, okay, so 13 years between seasons. Did having this experience, did it rekindle that survivor fire in you? Do you want to go back out again now or are you pretty much done at this point?
Gervase Peterson: No, I would definitely go out again. Absolutely. If they call me tomorrow I'm going back out. I mean it's the greatest game ever. I love this game.
HitFix: Well was that always the case though? I mean, has that been the case for the 13 years in between or is it rekindled?
Gervase Peterson: No, it's always been that way. I mean they called me for "All-Stars" and "Heroes Versus Villains," those two seasons but they didn't pick me for them. So I knew I was always on their radar. It just had to be the right situation, you know. So I've been waiting 13 years for the phone call and I finally got it. So I jumped at the opportunity.

At last year's Daytona 200, Jake Zemke came away with a Rolex Daytona Chronograph and very nearly an unexpected victory. Riding the underfinanced Project 1 Atlanta Yamaha R6, Zemke led 25 laps and made a strong run to the stripe, finishing third, .155 of a second behind Jason DiSalvo.
The team disbanded soon afterwards and Zemke, for the first time since the '90s, was left without a ride. Facing the possibility of a second season away from the racetrack, Zemke was given a lifeline early in February by Ducshop, a Ducati dealership in Marietta, Georgia, with a long history of racing success.
The Ducshop team is privately financed by a group of enthusiasts, all of whom ride and many of whom race. When Zemke first tested the Ducshop Ducati 848 at Jennings GP in north Florida, three of the team principals, Mark Sutton, Tim Robinson, and Rod Snyder, were also on track.
"Most teams I've been on have been supported by manufacturers and things like that," Zemke said. "Whereas this team is supported by enthusiasts. It's a little bit different. Everybody rides."

Is this hearing loss related to playing the trumpet? Or the fact that she is playing in ensembles with loud instruments around her? In particular playing into her left ear? I hope people can help you with this!
Is this hearing loss related to playing the trumpet? Or the fact that she is playing in ensembles with loud instruments around her? In particular playing into her left ear? I hope people can help you with this!
From what we know so far the hearing loss is from blowing the horn. Something to do with her holding her breath. The inner ear is very sensitive to pressure both internal and external, sneezing, sinuses, airpalnes, heights, loud noises etc... The steriods should help, but the question is will it happen again if she starts playing again? Maybe its just because she played so much Monday?
A Trumpet Players Mom
As a few of you know, I am severly hearing impaired having lost better than 50% of my hearing in both ears. I wearing hearing aids in both ears, and have for a number of years. I am two years into the "comeback trail", and hear (pun intended) are my two main thoughts on this subject:
A) Difficulties playing include ntonation, tuning and balancing. Recently when playing with a community band for the first time, I noticed I had REAL problems hearing other sections of the band, and this in turned caused me to play out of tune quite a bit. It also caused me to miss the opening pitch once in a while at first (thankfully, by the time our concert came around I had adjusted to things and didn't embarass myself too bad!). These are very serious musical problems, but NOT insurmountable. I will just have to work very very hard to get around those obstacles if I ever want to do some serious playing (and I do!). (I have also noticed that the smaller the group is, the less severe these problems are).
B) For years some people (including medical specialists, who SHOULD have known better) blamed my hearing loss on my high school and college music "career". But in fact, that had very little to do with it. My entire family for four or five generations back has had hearing problems. Obviously, being sandwiched between the french horns and percussion section didn't help! But had I never played the trumpet, I would still be wearing hearing aids. I guess the point is that, in my experience, people (and yes...some doctors) are just a little too quick to blame hearing loss or other hearing problems on our music.

I get that ringing occasionally, and it's irritating more than anything else.
When I played drums I used to use earplugs, but even then I find it cuts you out of the musical situation - it's ok for a rock band where the drummer is in the driving seat, but even then it's not ideal.
As fas as trumpet playing goes, I find it impossible to use ear plugs.
I played a gig last Friday with some strings. I even commented about my performance (not in a good way) in another thread directed to Manny. But as it happens, the lady playing Cello commented that she has suffered partial hearing loss (THAT didn't do much to help encourage me to ignore the fear of playing too loud...but...).
She commented that she tunes and "listens" by feeling the vibrations in the intrument and the room around her (floor, chair, whatever).
Perhaps you could incorporate that into your play. I don't know how feasible that is on trumpet, but who knows....
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who do not.
You eventually do get use to the ringing, tinitus(sp?). I have a pretty good hearing loss in my left ear. The clue for me was I was constantly asking people to repeat themselves, basically saying, HUH?, all the time..lol. I also found I relied on a tuner HEAVILY all the time. My right ear is actually way above average which is kind of nice. I was fitted for musicians plugs but due to money I could not get them. Most audiologists now a days should be able to do it. I believe the pair I was going to get were around $125.
Adam W. Metzler
From what little I know about the hearing loss issue, we have to be around a loud noise for a long time to lose substantial hearing. I have lost some highs in my right ear from being right next to the drums at Visiones with Maria's band for about 6 years of mondays. ouch. Tinnitus- 36 million Americans have it by the way, is a drag. My husband-drummer- has it, but I have not got it and have been exposed to a lot of loud music. My advice for the young player- get her some high end, custom ear plugs.(did you find them yet?) and also make sure she is not wearing in-ear phones.!!! There are some really bad headphones out there that are ruining young ears. good luck. Ingrid
I have tinitus. I have had it for as long as I can remember, so it is kind of normal to me. I have been wearing earplugs much more when doing work in garage's and in the lab at my college, but I am yet to get the good musician's ear earplugs. I think my school is bringing a guy here to fit us all with them. I can't wait.
I am almost 65 and my ears have been assaulted for the last 50 yrs, as I have played in mostly large concert bands and marching bands, sitting or standing in front of several groups of offenders, mostly percussion, trombones or baritones! I have had high frequency hearing loss for many years and gradually other parts of the audio spectrum have deteriorated, as my wife has said for years. I have no problem in hearing and playing music, but people's conversations and zeroing in some specific words is not what it used to be. Sometimes that's useful Still aggravates my wife sometimes, who wants me hearing checked. This sort of thing is an occupational hazard, I guess. Other organic causes could , of course, complicated matters, depending on the individual.
For some good information, check out Introduction: Hearing Loss: Merck Manual Professional .
The cheap way to test for short-term hearing loss (which can turn into long-term hearing loss over time) is to tune your car radio (FM) between stations and turn it down to the softest level you can still hear the white noise. When you get in your car after the gig, if you can still hear the white noise, that is a good thing!

How Bedlam Insecticide Aerosol Works
Bedlam controls Bed Bugs, Dust Mites, Fleas, Lice and Ticks by killing on contact and providing lasting residual performance. The active ingredients in Bedlam include Sumithrin, or d-Phenothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid which attacks the central nervous system of the target pests, and MGK-264, a synergist used in aerosols to assist in the effectiveness of pyrethroids.

Great Product! Gets rid of mild bed bug problems.
By Bedlam in New York, NY on 01/17/2009
I had a mild infestation due to an adjoining apartment. After reading up on bed bugs I thought I would never get rid of them. But after about two months of using BedLam Insecticide to treat spot areas and furniture they were gone. I also have a dog and he did not get sick. The residual effect also kills other bugs you didn't even know you had. Remember to put vaseline or mineral oil around bedpost and furniture legs to keep them from returning. Wash and bag all clothes while you are doing treatment. Use gloves when spraying and keep pets away until dry.

Great Product
By Greg in Arlington, VA on 12/22/2010
Verified Purchase
After previously paying almost $600 for 3 professional treatments, my bed bug problem was gone for only about 1 month until it returned. I bought 3 cans of this and the Drione dust to treat my one bedroom condo on my own. Rather than wash everything and bag everything up this time during treatment, I simply sprayed this all on the sides of my mattress (which still had an encasement from months earlier), crevices and around the baseboards of my bedroom walls and couch (basically anywhere my fiance and I would sleep). I figured they have to eat and would come into contact with the Bedlam when they came to feed. After the first treatment, we never saw another bug and my fiance never got another bite. It has been 3 months. Every 14 days I emptied out a can of the bedlam under my couch cushions, around bed and baseboards. Also sprinkled the Drione around baseboards and in couch. After 1 treatment the problem was solved, but did 2 follow up treatments just to be safe. I keep 2 cans of these in my closet just in case we notice more bites. Also, domyownpestcontrol.com is an extremely reliable service, with very fast (and free) shipping. Will never use a professional pest control service again!

Bedlam did the job, but with some effort
By Cynthia in Washington, DC on 10/25/2009
Verified Purchase
My old apartment became infested with bedbugs, but the management didn't treat the apartment aggressively enough. When I moved to a new apartment, some of the bugs came with me, much to my dismay. I have applied Bedlam thoroughly to my bedroom floor, baseboards, and closets 10 times over a 3-month period. I think that I have finally gotten rid of the bugs. I had read that Bedlam is effective against bedbug eggs as well, which I'm hoping is the case. I have invested in a bedbug mattress cover and am carefully inspecting my bedding for any signs of bugs. I have also been keeping my clothes in plastic bags until I'm sure they're gone. I would recommend this product, but be consistent and diligent. I have also applied MotherEarth D to my bedroom floor using the hand duster. I continue to keep a very thin layer of MotherEarth D on my hardwood floor in the bedroom. I also used the Gentrol IGR aerosol twice, which I hoped help, but I'm not sure how effective it truly was. My only regret is that I didn't buy more Bedlam to begin with (since it is cheaper if you buy more from the get go).

Bed Bugs
By Adrienne in Newtown Square Pa on 06/14/2010
Verified Purchase
Just wanted to write a great review for the Bed Bug Kit which included this product. We had bed bugs in our bed it was horrible and disgusting. We called a pest company and they wanted 800.00 dollars. I bought this kit from DoMyOwnPestControl and it worked. It has been a month and we are bed bug free. But I do recommend buying the bed bug kit since these bugs live in woodwork and drapes so just this product alone works better with the kit. I now just keep this in my bedroom and spray every week to be sure. Thanks to Do My Own Pest I have saved 700.00. Thanks

The Best!!!
By in Winston Salem, NC on 06/15/2013
Verified Purchase
This spray was by far the best to get rid of bed bugs. I tried a LOT of local sprays and bombs and realized days later the bugs were back. Within days after using the Bedlam the bedbugs were gone and have been over 10 months now. I've referred this to others as it was a life saver. Having bed bugs is VERY stressful and costly, Bedlam is the BOMB!!!

Wow, this is something else against bed bugs
By Jade in Chicago on 03/05/2013
Wow, this spray is something else. I live in Chicago in Bedbug alley and discovered that I have a mild infestation in my bedroom and I am currently living in between two apartments that are infested....joy of my life..ugh! So no matter what I realized that even after I clear the infestation, it will just happen again because they are in the walls and coming up the pipes (found dead one in the bathroom sink) and I think one neighbor gave up treating and then the other one bombed the apartment sending them everywhere on our floor :( After a month of trying all sorts of stuff (spraying alcohol, cedar oil, DE, etc.) plus getting estimates from my landlord for treatment (insane pricing, about 1 grand), I researched and found pestmall and then this stuff from BedLam. This spray is like the terminator for these guys but be prepared to put your back into it! I have a collectible wood frame bed of which I will be damned if I have to throw out that was signed by the designer and the little boogers got in there. I flipped it thinking that I'd see 3 or 4...but OMG, I had infiltrated ground zero...bedbugs and their babies dead everywhere or running for cover. I sprayed 2 cans with the stick that came with it into the cracks, every crevice and every side of that frame, let it foam up. Goodness, the carnage that came out the cracks were amazing!! (almost have to say I felt like Dale Gribble and loved it) Best part is that they all died intantly! the red ones, the clear ones...simply amazing. Next I sprayed by mattress, pillows, sheets, comforter then took Bedlam Plus and sprayed all of the carpeting in each room, boxes, pretty much any exposed part. After they bit me in my pinky toe, it was war!! It may be morbid but I was proud of the death I caused in there. Because I sprayed like a madwoman in all of the cracks, I will then apply the Drione dust to give a long term barrier after a few days, and then treat again in another few days, but from what I saw, this stuff is excellent and offers an excellent solution to a mild problem in the bedroom. Also, it saves so much money. In an apartment, bed bugs are uncontrollable because of people moving in and out with them, so you just always have to be on guard so this is a true gem in that war! Thanks!

Best product I've used
By Peter in Burke, Virginia on 09/28/2011
I've used this in combination with careful inspection and treatment of clothing/items in the room and it works well. Rubbing alcohol, contrary to some 1 star reviews, does not kill on contact. But rubbing alcohol mixed with the growth inhibitor serves its purpose well and keeps them from developing and breeding. You will need a lot of this depending on your situation. I spent 30 hours managing one room alone with approximately 100 bedbugs in various stages of development. Your furniture and belongings will drive the time variable up or down. I have three loft beds in the room so this is why it took so long. You must follow up for the next two weeks following initial treatment and make a judgement call on how much longer to wait until you bring the clothing, toys, etc. back in the room. This product is great for pest management as most store bought products don't have the spray line which is necessary for reaching deep in cracks. Without this you waste much of the product on surfaces because the cone effect on traditional models forcing you to spend and spend and spend. It's pest management, not extermination. Keep that in mind and remember you are bigger than they are and can crush them under your thumb :)

Works like magic
By E.s. in Queens, NY on 02/07/2011
Verified Purchase
Great product!! My husband was the one that purchased the product and I admit I wasn't very pleased. I thought maybe we should contact an exterminator first. Thank god no regrets. We have a 3 bedroom apt and those little disgusting creatures [bedbugs] were taking residence in 2 of the bedrooms and more so in 1 of them that has a wood platform frame. We've done the treatment 3 times at 2 week intervals. The 2nd time around we found maybe 3-5 bedbugs in the room that has the wood platform frame and 1 in the other room. The 3rd time around no bedbugs. My husband bought the NY 1-2 bedroom kit.

Great Travel Item
By Pat in Vineland, NJ on 11/01/2010
Verified Purchase
We travel by vehicle to our vacation destinations. I felt comfortable using this item. It comes with a straw like device so you can zero in on your area. We pulled back the bed covers and removed the mattress. Sprayed liberally. Also the mattress, mattress covers. I don't think there were any bedbugs but I certainly felt safer after spraying the bed and the room. I sprayed the suitcases and carried everything in plastic bags. There is no strong residue odor either. Got enough for our next trip too.

I purchased this along with Gentrol Aerosol to rid my apt of bedbugs. NY has a big problem w/ them & CT is starting to have the problem too. If I found this site a long time ago I wouldn't have had to throw out my living rm furniture! I sprayed my floors along the edge of the rugs. Now I can walk barefoot w/o being bit & don't have to worry about my 2 y/o playing on the floor. I ordered a 2nd can just in case I missed a few spots. I definitley recommend it!

Didn't have a big infestation but still had bedbugs after 2 exterminator visits. We used Bedlam around the beds (after dismantling EVERYTHING and vacuuming) in conjunction with Cyonara everywhere else. We did 2 complete treatments 2 weeks apart. It seems to have done the job.

!!!FEEDBACK ON BedLam Insecticide!!!!
By Mr. in Woodside, NY on 06/07/2010
It works but it takes a while before it kills the insects. Doesn't have a pungent smell. My family used it to spray under the mattress, side doors, flooring, cabinet and any place of the house where there is a suspected insect breeding zone.

QWhich spray product is best to kill bed bugs and the bed bug eggs on furniture such as dressers and tables?
ABedlam , Bedlam Plus and Steri-fab known to kill adult bed bugs and their eggs Bedlam will leave a 6 week residual and Steri-Fab is a contact kill only so it is great for sensitve areas like couches, chairs, and mattresses.

QCan Bedlam Bed Bug Aerosol Spray be used on bed sheets?
The Bedlam Insecticide instructions say to spray on garments - can we spray this product directly on our sheets before going to bed - perhaps after allowing it to dry for about 10-15 minutes and then placing another clean sheet over it?
A We would not recommend spraying your sheets. Bedbugs do not live on the sheets and this would not be a good use of the product. Instead, concentrate on treating the mattress, headboard, footboard, rails and surrounding areas. Allow the Bedlam to dry on the mattress first and then sleep on a clean sheet that is over the treated area.

QWhat is the best treatment for carpets when treating for bed bugs?
ABed Bugs actually do not normally hang out on the carpets and usually the carpets would be the last place to treat. Most treatments are directed in cracks and crevices, around the bed, baseboards, and harborage areas where bed bugs like to hide. You can use Bedlam on carpets as well as Steri-Fab.
04/18/2010 Robin
QHow long does Bedlam aerosol last?
We have an infestation so far, in our bedroom, trying to keep them contained in one room and we have sprayed adjoining rooms as well. However, we are spraying nearly daily and still they show up at night..last night's count just five. We are still laundering and washing and steaming our clothes. Have also steamed the floors, all wood of course. Do we have to spray the mattress cover daily...how do we find the eggs?
ABedlam will typically last for 6 weeks under normal conditions. The bedbugs that walk over the area will die, but they will not die instantly. It can take up to a few hours for them to die, so you will still see them. The only product that we have that kills on contact is Steri-Fab and even still, contact means it takes minutes, not instantly. If you have only used Bedlam, you may want to use some of the other products found in our bed bug kits.

Qdifference between bedlam spray and bedlam plus
What is the difference between the bedlam plus for bed bugs and the regular bedlam spray. The plus is more expensive. Is it a stronger grade? Longer residual? Or are they identical?
AThe Bedlam Plus has all of the ingredients from regular Bedlam plus an extra added ingredient called imidacloprid which makes it work much better for folks that are dealing with pyrethroid resistant strains of bedbugs. Bedlam plus does not last longer than regular bedlam.

If bedlam is an insecticide then how can it be safe to sleep on our bed everynight?

QCan you spray BedLam on sofas? Is this safe?
AYes you can use Bedlam on sofas but it must be kept to the seams, tufts and folds only. You cannot spray Bedlam on the surface of the cushions or arm rests.
04/28/2011 Joe
QWhy do I see bed bugs the next day when I spray Bedlam?
I took stuff out of a room, except dressers and table. I spray all around and on table and dresser. Next day, bed bugs are crawling on them as if I did not spray. How does this Bedlam spray work??? When I spray, I don't really see no different. Day time I don't see very many at all, but at night time they are out. So how does the spray work, when does it kill, and how long does it take to take effect. The can does not specifically this.
ABedlam can take up to 24 hours to kill a bedbug that contacts treated surfaces and receives a lethal dose of the insecticide. You need to be very thorough and be sure to treat every crack, crevice, tuft, fold seam, gap and void in the infested room. We strongly recommend using more than one type of product as well. It is industry standard that in addition to an aerosol product such as Bedlam to use an insecticide dust such as Evergreen Dust to treat areas that are more or less inaccessible on a day to day such as cracks or crevices on box-springs, under and behind furniture, wall voids, under baseboards and under the lip of the carpet. Bedlam can be used on the mattress, bed-frames, headboard, foot-board and any other piece of furniture that may be harboring bedbugs. Please take a few minutes to read over the Bedbug Treatment guide so that you may better understand what is needed to eliminate bedbugs in your home.

QWhat is the difference between BedLam and Cyzmic CS?
They both seem to leave a residue but do they both kill the eggs also?
AIf you are referring to bed bug eggs, then Bedlam is the best product available at this time and it does kill all stages of bed bugs, including the eggs. Also it comes in a ready to use aerosol can. Cyzmic CS is a liquid insecticide that is listed for bed bugs but it does not kill the eggs. Also, it requires mixing with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.
10/19/2010 George
QIs Bedlam a product that can be used to treat luggage? Or is something better?
Can Bedlam and Phantom be used together? Or is this over kill.
AThe most commonly used product for bedbug control on luggage is JT Eaton Luggage spray. This product is labeled for use on luggage and will last for up to two weeks. You can use Bedlam and Phantom for bedbugs, but you would need to use them in separate areas. Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide and if you use Bedlam in the same area that applied Phantom then that non-repellent factor will be gone.
10/16/2010 Brad
QHow much area does a can of bedlam cover approximately?
AIt is really hard to give an estimate on how far each can of Bedlam will go because most people are not treating around the perimeter of the room, but they are treating pieces of furniture. Most people report that a can of Bedlam will treat all of the seams and cracks and crevices in all of the furniture for a typical size bedroom when used as directed on the can.
08/24/2010 Julie
QCan I spray my child's backpack with Bedlam to prevent bedbugs from coming home with her from school?
AWe would not recommend spraying your child's backpack with any product. Children are in direct contact with their backpack for a long period everyday, and they would be coming into contact with any insecticide sprayed onto the back for a long period too. It would be better to just use a heat treatment on the backpack. You can put the backpack into the dryer on medium or high heat for about an hour to kill any insect or insect egg that may be present.

QHow should I treat the carpet for bedbugs?
I live in an apartment that is heavily carpeted. I read in one of the earlier comments that they don't really hang out on carpets, but what if the whole room is carpeted?
AUsually, bedbugs will only be under the edge of the carpet where the carpet ends near the baseboards and where the furniture legs sit on the carpet. It may be necessary to pull the carpet up around the edges and apply a dust such as Evergreen Dust under the edge. You can spray the carpet where the legs of the furniture rest to eliminate any bedbugs in that area. Bedbugs do not infest carpeting like fleas.
06/04/2010 Rebecca
QIs Bedlam Insecticide safe to use around my cat?
We currently don't have bedbugs, but am concerned about getting them from a neighbor who currently does. We want to use something as a preventative treatment, but have a cat and are concerned for her safety. Is this treatment safe for her, even after it dries?
AWhen used as directed on the product label, Bedlam is not harmful to cats. Be sure to remove your cat from the area that is being treated and you can let her back into the area after the spray has dried. Bedlam will not prevent bedbugs. You can apply an insecticide dust such as the Alpine dust to cracks and crevices around baseboards and into wall voids to help stop an infestation from moving through adjoining walls. We also recommend using bedbug proof mattress and boxspring encasements on all beds to help eliminate the tufts, folds and seams where bedbugs like to hide and make inspections easier.
09/01/2009 Emily
QDoes Bedlam have an odor? If so, how strong is it and is it long-lasting?
ABedlam Insecticide does not have a strong odor. It is very slight, and we have never had a complaint about the odor. This product dries very quickly and any odor that is detected does not last very long at all due to the fact that it dries quickly.

'Chuck' - 'Chuck vs. the First Fight': The name is Dalton. Timothy Dalton.
A review of tonight's "Chuck" - the strongest episode of season four - coming up just as soon as I parachute out of a plane on a wild horse...
"Frost here is a master of deception." -Volkoff
So why was "Chuck vs. the First Fight" the best episode of the season so far? Let's run it down:
Timothy Dalton. We're starting here, and we could just as easily end here. Getting Dalton to guest star on this show was a coup, both because he's a great actor, and because he was James freakin' Bond. (And a much better Bond than he gets credit for, since the two movies he was in were awful.)
For a while, it seemed like Dalton was just there for an elaborate in-joke: a former 007 plays a cowardly handler who knows nothing about field work, loves to watch "Alias" and folds at the slightest hint of torture. ("I had my first sexual experience watching 'Lawrence of Arabia'!") And that would have been fine, because Dalton was really funny doing it, embracing the gag beyond the meta level, so that it would be amusing whether or not the man had "The Living Daylights" and "Licence to Kill" on his resume.
(In contrast, all due respect to Brandon Routh, but there were definitely times last season where Shaw scenes were only interesting if you viewed them through the prism of Superman stealing Chuck's special lady friend.)
But in the end, Gregory Tuttle turns out to be Alexei Volkoff. It's one of those twists that you can't really call shocking - I would have understood if Dalton was just there for a one-off gag appearance, but it's also not the least bit surprising that the "Chuck" producers would want their biggest guest star get ever to be this season's big bad - but it was still effectively played by Dalton, and by the stunned Zachary Levi, and I look forward to seeing more Dalton/Volkoff as the season goes along.
Good action. The Chuck-Fu hasn't been very useful to Chuck this season, but that's led to some more interesting fight scenes. "Chuck" fights are usually best when there's a mix of action and comedy, and I enjoyed Chuck and the Ana Gasteyer character having a tweezers vs. dental mirror tiny weapon standoff for a few moments, and then Chuck and Sarah bickering throughout their fight with Gasteyer and her goons at the bank. And speaking of which...
Good comedy. I started off worrying about the whole "first fight" aspect of the title, since not only was Chuck coming off a real emotional roller coaster from last week, but it seemed like it was going to be another one of those storylines where Sarah's being a professional during a mission while Chuck acts like a nincompoop. But then Sarah let herself get agitated by Chuck to the point where she was being just as ridiculous, and the fight at the bank really clicked. The writers have also gotten much better over the years at finding funny Sarah moments, whether it's pairing her with Morgan ("Morgan, please don't touch my chest") or playing off of how out of touch she is with popular culture ("You might as well have posted about our fight on Friendster!").
And, as mentioned above, Timothy Dalton was damn funny.
Real emotional stakes. The "Alias" joke does underline just how much the "Is Chuck's mom a hero or a traitor?" thing evokes the Irina Derevko story, and my patience with all the reversals is definitely growing thin. But at the same time, the Ellie/Mary scene just killed. So well played by Sarah Lancaster and Linda Hamilton, and you understand in that scene - and then again as Chuck is preparing to die in his father's secret basement - how much the Bartowski sibs need for their mom to be a secret good guy whose behavior for the past 20 years has a good explanation. (Because being undercover in an evil organization for 20 years without accomplishing much suggests Frost isn't a very good spy.)
The final moments in the Orion room offers more ambiguity. Mary gives Sarah a tool to cut herself and Chuck free, but she also zaps Chuck with some kind of PSP-sized Intersect that, for now at least, seems to have taken away his ability to flash. He could just be in shock, or need of a reboot, or she could be trying to do what Steven did at the end of season two, and forcing her son out of the spy game before he gets hurt - or before he stops her and Volkoff, because she really is evil (but not a bad mom). I hope we don't get seven more flip-flops between now and the end of the arc, but I do like seeing how much this is hurting Chuck and Ellie, and look forward to seeing what comes next.
Some other thoughts:
• This week in "Chuck" music: "Snake" by Frightened Rabbit (Chuck practices what he's going to say to Sarah, "Ghosts N Stuff" by Deadmau5 (Chuck wakes up on the plane with Tuttle), "We Don't Eat" by James Vince McMorrow (Mary and Ellie talk), "One October Song" by Nico Stai (Volkoff blows up Orion's lab) and Florence and the Machine's "Kiss with a Fist" over the fight at the bank. (Though I should say that while it's an awesome song, and perfect for this kind of fight scene, but "Community" beat them to it by almost a year.)
• This week in "Chuck" pop culture references: beyond the "Alias" hat-tip, there were a whole bunch of little James Bond references. My two favorites were Ana Gasteyer basically playing Rosa Klebb from "From Russia, with Love," and the gag about a plane only having one parachute (which comes up in "Moonraker," among other 007 places).
• I hope that they chose to play music over the Mary/Ellie conversation because Mary was only telling her things that we in the audience already knew and/or weren't important to the larger arc, and not so they could withhold info from us that Ellie and Sarah would now have. "Chuck" isn't that kind of show, nor should it be.
• As mentioned above, Sarah/Morgan pairings are almost always funny, and the Casey/Morgan fight worked as an amusing funhouse mirror to the Chuck/Sarah argument. One question, though: what exactly took Casey and Morgan so long to get into the bank?
• Good to hear Scott Bakula's voice again, and hopefully that pimped-out Mustang will have some kind of awesome Volkoff-stopping power.

In honor of those who served
John A. Scocos, who was appointed as Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs on August 25, 2011, has written this guest column honoring Latino veterans.
Since returning to the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs as the first Cabinet-appointed Secretary of the agency, it has been rewarding to reconnect with our veterans and their families. As we move into the fall season, let us take time to honor the legacy of Wisconsin's Latino veterans. From September 15 through October 15, join me in commemorating Hispanic Heritage Month and recognizing the contributions of all Latino veterans.
Latinos have fought in every major war since the United States won its independence. Since World War II, Wisconsin's Latino veterans have gained recognition for their valor and duty. During the Korean War, despite intense torture and endless deprivation, Waukesha's Marcos "Jesse" Martinez, repeatedly escaped his POW camp, but was recaptured each time. As a result, Martinez spent nearly three years in solitary confinement in a bamboo cage before returning home to a hero's welcome.
Wisconsin American G.I. Forum Commander George Banda was a combat medic with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam. He received the Silver Star on April 23, 1970 for protecting and saving a wounded soldier while under enemy fire. He received the Bronze Star for wounds received in combat while defending follow soldiers at Fire Support Base Henderson on May 6, 1970. The retired Milwaukee County Airport firefighter also received the Purple Heart for his many acts of heroism and gallantry during his military service in Vietnam.
"Hispanics have been part of this country since its inception. We feel an obligation to honor our country by helping to defend freedom," Banda said. He, like so many other Wisconsin veterans, is modest and unassuming about his actions despite saving the lives of dozens of his fellow soldiers. "My uncles inspired me to help defend this country, because they enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor was attacked," he added.
Earlier this year, West Point Military Academy graduate Daren Hidalgo, a Waukesha native, made the ultimate sacrifice, losing his life to an IED while fighting in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He was the youngest of three sons currently serving. His father, Jorge Hidalgo, is also a graduate of West Point.
Military images of Hispanic veterans and their unique stories can be found online at The Pictorial Project, Wisconsin Latino Veteran Stories. The pictorial display has been previously exhibited at Milwaukee's Summerfest and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. U.S. Marine Corps veteran Joe Medina, president of the foundation, thanks the Hispanic veterans and their families for donating copies of their heartfelt photos to the foundation. Medina and Banda will participate in a presentation at the William S. Middleton VA Hospital in Madison on September 29 to honor veterans during Hispanic Heritage Month.
The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs Diversity and Equity Committee will also acknowledge Hispanic Heritage Month with a program on September 28.
"Our men and women have given precious time and some have never returned home," Joe Medina said. "Let the story be told from one generation to another."
These veterans, and the hundreds of Wisconsin Latinos currently serving in military branches throughout the world, share in this legacy of honor. Wisconsin is eternally grateful for their United States military service.

China's Looming Pension Crisis Spooks Workers
How much money does a young Chinese worker need to save for retirement?
According to a post that's gone viral on the Chinese Internet: 3.14 million yuan ($494,000).
The number, which comes from financial planners cited in the Chongqing Morning Post, is based on the assumption that workers born in the 1980s will need 2000 yuan ($315) per month for 20 years to retire comfortably.

Having spent a small fortune on Nikon products over many years - film....................
I am getting quite annoyed to think that my expensive (but nice) 12-24mm Dx will ( as soon as my D300 expires) be useless !?
I do find this makes me quite angry ?
I would like to have thought that I could have bought loads of Dx / FX lenses and all would be supported by appropriate camera body ?
I now believe have been misled - or my thinking was incorrect !?
I am not one to chase after the next camera body, but it would be nice to think if D300 (s) got used to end of life (in other words one could take as many photos as one wished) - next body is then available?
Does not look like it ?!

The Advertising Standards Authority spot had received eight complaints to Friday (25 February). Complainants said the ad could encourage children to imitate the character in the ad.
A spokeswoman for Barclays says the ad is intended to be a "playful exaggeration on the reality of parenthood" and the costs involved in bringing children up. She adds the "majority of responses [to the ad] have been very positive".
The ASA is currently assessing the complaints to decide whether to launch a formal investigation.

Chester site success breeds next effort
CHESTER – Local leaders have parlayed redevelopment of the Taylor, Smith and Taylor pottery property into an opportunity to do something similar at another northern Hancock County site, this time with technical assistance from the state as part of the "Communities of Achievement" program.
"The goal here is to find another site in northern Hancock County where we can build off the momentum generated by the Taylor, Smith and Taylor project and identify a project, remediate that site if necessary and prepare it for future economic development," said Pat Ford, executive director of the Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle. "It's not supposed to be directly related to Taylor, Smith and Taylor, but a requirement of the program is that you have to identify a project in the vicinity of a recent successful project."
"Communities of Achievement" is a West Virginia Community Development HUB program. The designation, awarded to Chester, means a 10-member steering committee will get whatever technical assistance it needs to identify workable projects in northern Hancock County as well as whatever specialized coaching is needed to complete one of them.
The committee members, known as community collaborators, attend outcome-based workshops that provide the content, tools and framework they'll need to do their job. Coaches assigned to each team will oversee the process from beginning to end, ensuring they stay on task and connecting them with the resources and technical assistance they need.
The program is funded by a USDA Rural Community Development Initiative grant, the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, the Partnership to Promote Community Well Being, West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, the West Virginia Office of Healthy Lifestyles and the participating communities. One Economy Corporation, WVU Extension, and the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection also provide in-kind contributions.
HUB Executive Director Kent Spellman said it's a 16-18 month process.
"We provide them with training, we provide them with some funding," Spellman said. "But most importantly, we provide each team with a performance coach – a professional who helps the team stay on track, makes sure they're focused and accountable to one another and their community, and helps the team achieve the success that communities so often fail to achieve."
Spellman said one of their earliest projects, in Wayne County, resulted in a bond issue that funded construction of a $35 million lodge and conference center.
"That was a huge victory," he said. "But we do see very good returns on investment in most of the communities we work in. The idea is that when they come away from HUBcap they'll have tools they can use not just to complete the project they're working on, but to do other community improvement projects."
Ford said to be eligible for the program, the community first had to show demonstrable success with a project on its own – in this case, demolition of the old pottery and preparations for job and business development there.
The committee has to start its work with an open mind, he said, using what they learn at the workshops to determine what opportunity they should focus on. Projects may involve cleaning up and reusing old industrial properties, or they could involve a previously undeveloped property.
Listed as objectives in the community's application for HUBcap status: Choosing a brownfield property and redeveloping it in a way that makes sense for Chester and all of northern Hancock County, be it through establishing green spaces or designating industrial, office or retail uses; create jobs; and identify funding sources for acquisition and site preparation.
"It's up to that committee of 10 to identify a project," he said. "They're with us, step by step, the entire 19 months. And the skillsets, the technical capacity they add to our group will help us identify a site and a project to tackle."
The BDC sponsored the community's application for HUBcap participation and provided $2,500 in seed money for the project.
Serving as community collaborators will be Ford; John Brown, executive director of Brooke-Hancock Planning and Development Council and the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission; Catherine Ferrari, president and CEO of Hancock County Savings Bank; Hancock County Commissioner Jeff Davis; Chester City Councilman Mike Dotson, a founding member of Rock Spring River Redevelopment Committee and manager of Chester's municipal/business building; Sandra Parkins, city clerk and local business owner; Billy Greathouse, Century 21 Greathouse Realty and a founding member of Rock Spring River Redevelopment Committee; Carol Farish, a community volunteer; Bob Reed, a private developer and member of the BDC board of directors; and Marvin Six, local businessman and founding member of Rock Spring River Redevelopment Commission.
Over the course of the next month they'll be meeting with their coach to review goals and the composition of the team as well as prepare for their first workshop, set for Oct. 1-2.
