Showing up in Google?

I remember reading somewhere how to make your profile NOT show up when someone Google's you, but for the life of me, I can't find it again! Can anyone give me a hand with that?

Also, the city I live in is showing up when someone else views my profile. I thought that was supposed to be private? I had a friend Google me and it was there (even after I set my profile to be viewed by members only) and when I type in my link to my profile (http://www.njyp.org/profile/AmandaForsburg) I can see it as well (even when I'm signed out). Can someone help me fix that?

Thanks!!

Here you go, from the FAQ:

My profile page comes up when I Google myself. How can I prevent that?
From any page on NJYP.org click “Settings” on the right or just go here http://www.njyp.org/profiles/settings/editProfileInfo and
Under “Privacy”: Make your profile visible only to friends.
Under “My Page”: Change your url so that your last name is not in it.
Under "Profile": Make sure where it says "Full Name" only your first name or username is showing. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR LAST NAME under the "Profile Questions" or we will not be able to verify your membership. This information is NOT visible on the web.
