33 FAQs About Removing Negative Search Results
Negative search results can happen to anyone.
They're frustrating. They're unfair. And they can dramatically influence your chances for landing a job, earning new clients, and even getting yourself a date.
You probably have a load of questions (that's why you're here, right?) about fixing your search results. The world of online reputation management (ORM) can seem murky and mysterious to the uninformed, which is why I've put together a comprehensive list of the 33 most frequently asked questions people have about removing search results from Google. (I refer specifically to Google in this article, but the answers apply to Bing & Yahoo as well.)
One of our main tenets at Brandyourself is transparency — we want clients to know what we're doing, and why we're doing it. Scroll through these 33 questions and find the ones that most apply to you. Or, read the whole thing to give yourself the ultimate preparation for battling that negative result. When you're done here I highly recommend that you head over to our online reputation management guide and take things even further. Looking forward to answering any additional questions in the comments section below — see you there.
Here we go!
1. How can I get this negative result 'taken down'?
Unless you own the content (in which case, what are you waiting for?) getting a negative result 'taken down' is actually quite challenging. The website owner doesn't have to take it down, probably has little incentive to listen to you, and may even miss your email request altogether.
For these reasons, getting a negative result taken down is unlikely to work. But if you succeed it can be very effective.
Here's how you do it. Go to whois.net and find out who the website owner is. Contact the owner by email and request (politely) for them to take down the offending material. I'd suggest going the sympathy route — explain that the material is damaging your reputation and try to show how you've changed for the better since the content was published. Whichever route you decide to go, remain polite and remember that if they do help you out, they're actually doing you a favor.
NOTE: The disadvantage of this method is that it doesn't solve the underlying problem of having a weak online presence. You still leave yourself vulnerable to other slanderous results if you don't take actions to build up a positive presence. See #6 for more details.
2. When is it right to submit a DMCA request?
The most common reason for submitting a DMCA takedown request is if the offending material infringes on your legal rights as a copyright owner. If someone is clearly using your material without permission (photos, written content, audio, video, etc.) you can submit a request by going to your DMCA Dashboard and creating a new notice.
You'll need to be able to identify and describe the copyrighted work, show an authorized example of the work, and provide a URL to the allegedly infringing material.
Google gets millions of these requests every month, so don't expect to get any results unless you can make your case crystal clear. You should also be aware that any request you send will be tied to your name and all requests are made public on chillingeffects.org so think carefully about the risks before you move ahead with this request.
3. Can we take legal action?
It is very difficult to get search results legally removed because people can say pretty much anything they want online. Even if you have a strong case proving defamation or libel, the legal process can cost you thousands of dollars and take many years to settle. The court system is a notoriously difficult place to solve these kinds of problems.
If you're interested in hearing about your legal options, definitely speak with an attorney. Just remember that a lawyer may come back to you with the upsetting news that there is nothing that can be done to take down your negative result — and still charge you for their time.
4. What about the "right to be forgotten?"
In 2014, the highest court in Europe decided that European people had the right to influence the search results for their name in some certain circumstances.
The New York Times explains:
Under the ruling, Europeans who felt they were being misrepresented by search results that were no longer accurate or relevant — for instance, information about old financial matters, or misdeeds committed as a minor — could ask search engines like Google to delink the material. If the request was approved, the information would remain online at the original site, but would no longer come up under certain search engine queries.
This sounds promising. So what's the catch?
As of this article's publication (August 2015), removals only apply to European versions of Google search results (Google.fr and Google.de for example) and not the American version, google.com. The number of removals so far has also been relatively small. Of the 1,000,000+ requests since the court's decision, only 41% were approved, and that number is much smaller for specific categories like public figures, serious crimes, and child protection.
Finally, beware the risks associated with this move. According to Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineLand.com, Google will disclose the removal in a process similar to DMCA complaints and even report the removal on chillingeffects.org.
Google tells us that it will show disclosure when URLs are removed under the new Right To Be Forgotten method in a manner similar to above. In other words, while the URL itself is forgotten, the fact that Google was made to forget it will be remembered.
If you are still interested, you can submit a search removal request here. You must submit a copy of your photo ID and be able to prove that the offending content is "irrelevant, outdated, or otherwise inappropriate."
5. Can I submit a complaint to Google?
Aside from the "right to be forgotten," there are only a couple instances where it makes sense to ask Google to remove something.
The first is the above mentioned DMCA request. The second is regarding highly sensitive personal information like bank account numbers and signatures. The third is revenge porn. Google decided to start honoring requests to take down those kinds of damaging results as of June 2015. You can read more about that on Google's public policy blog.
To ask Google to take down these results in these specific cases, you can submit your request here.
6. If we can't take down the negative, what CAN we do?
The most effective way to handle a negative result is to bury it with positive, relevant content about yourself.
This is an easy three-step process.
- Build yourself a website. Buy a domain with your name in the URL (like ryanerskine.com) and build it on a simple platform like WordPress, Squarespace, or BrandYourself. Then make some high-authority social profiles that fit in with your personal brand. Everyone knows LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter but some other great ones to start with are About.me, Slideshare, Crunchbase and Youtube.
- Optimize your profiles to be search engine friendly.
- Most importantly, keep your sites and profiles updated consistently with original, quality content and lots of organic activity.
As your properties gain more authority over time, they will start to rise higher in search results for your name, eventually pushing down the negative or irrelevant results.
7. How does Google's search algorithm work?
When you type something into the search bar, Google tries to serve you the most 'relevant' search results for that term. Relevancy is determined by a number of on-page and off-page ranking factors. Let's look at a few:
On-page Ranking Factors
- Quality Content: Google rewards sites that have amazing content that provides lots of value to users. Content that is longer, well-written, and original is considered higher quality (from an algorithmic standpoint) than short, thin, and duplicate content.
- Keyword Optimization: Keywords are the core words and phrases you want to rank for in search results. In this case, the primary keyword will be your full name or business. Keyword optimization does not mean unnaturally stuffing your keyword onto your site — that kind of behavior can earn you a nasty Google penalty. Focus instead on writing engaging content and weaving your keyword in naturally when it is appropriate. Some obvious places to include your keyword are in the URL of your website, the title, the header tag, and an About page.
- Outbound Links: Outbound links, the ones you use to link out to other sites, are seen as signals of trust. Link out to authoritative sites in your industry that provide real value to the user. As a general rule of thumb, don't exceed 25 outbound links per 1,000 words.
- Site Architecture: You want to make sure that your site structure has a logical hierarchy and that you are linking to all your pages in an easy-to-use navigational menu. Give your URL slugs appropriate titles and make the process of getting around your site as simple as possible.
Off-page Ranking Factors
- Backlinks: Links still matter a ton because search engines use them as signals of trust and relevancy. The important distinction today is that the QUALITY of the backlinks matter. One link from a highly authoritative site like the New York Times is going to be far more effective than hundreds or even thousands of links from no-name sites. The opposite is true too — spammy backlinks from link farms can do your site more harm than good. Focus on creating incredibly useful content for a target niche and you'll be well on your way to getting a variety of links from relevant websites.
- Don't be afraid to reach out to your network to politely ask for links to your website. Appropriate places to start might be your business or a philanthropic organization that you're heavily involved with.
- Social Engagement: It's not clear how much weight Google gives to social connections and interactions as a ranking factor but there is a correlation between social votes and high rankings. Build your personal or corporate brand across your social network, grow your following organically, and share your content to get the most out of your social connections.
- Personalization: Local search is becoming an increasingly more important factor for search. There are many ways to take advantage of this factor, including registering your business's address in Google+ and setting your location in your social profiles. If your site is getting loads of links from sites related to your location, it is more likely to rank, at least in that target location.
This just scrapes the surface, but it gives a good sense of the factors Google looks for when ranking search results. For more info, check out Google's own SEO Starter Guide 2015.
8. Are there any special SEO tricks I can use?
Even as recently as a few years ago, you could get away with using "black-hat" SEO techniques, tricks used simply to game search engines like Google. These were things like link farming, cloaking, and keyword stuffing.
Today, these techniques will do you more harm than good. Google has gotten much better at detecting these tricks and penalizing the websites that use them. If you remember one thing about the future of SEO, it's this: The arm of SEO is long, but it bends toward user experience.
Want to know the best SEO trick in the book? Do things that real users would do. Create incredibly engaging and valuable content that makes other people want to share it and link to it. Play by Google's rules, and you're much more likely to win in the long run.
9. Can we buy backlinks?
Buying backlinks falls into the "black hat" camp and is never a good idea. Backlinks from link farms and the like are in breach of Google's webmaster guidelines and the search giant is quite adept at identifying violators and dishing out serious penalties.
10. How long does it take to bury a negative result?
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Anyone who guarantees a specific timeline for pushing down a negative result is lying and, frankly, being irresponsible. Depending on the competitiveness of the keyword and the authority of the negative result, pushing a negative off the first page of Google can take up to a year or longer.
11. Can we buy traffic to our websites?
Purchasing website traffic is another "black hat" technique used to game the system and is therefore inadvisable. It might seem like an attractive short-term solution, but it is unsustainable and can actually hurt you in the long run. Google has released multiple algorithmic updates to penalize this kind of dishonest traffic-building behavior so your efforts are likely to be for naught.
Instead of buying traffic, focus on creating quality content — useful content that adds real value — and you'll have a sustainable source of traffic for months and years to come. If you want to use some disposable income on your campaign, try strategically using paid campaigns for sites like Twitter, Stumbleupon, or Outbrain to increase your content's reach.
12. Why is this old, irrelevant, negative result still ranking?
Google uses a number of on-page and off-page relevancy factors to determine the rankings in search results.
That negative result from years ago may not be relevant anymore but it's probably built up lots of authority over the years. Even if it's a static page, the rest of the site that it's associated with might be constantly updated, which lends extra authority to that static, older page.
All the properties you're creating for yourself will be keyword optimized and updated regularly with content, which puts them at a distinct advantage. But your properties are newer and they haven't built up enough authority yet to overtake that ancient negative result. Here's an example for you to visualize what happens over time.
13. Why did the negative result suddenly jump back up in the rankings?
Google frequently updates its search results based on a number of relevancy factors. Fluctuation in search results is completely normal, especially for a competitive keyword. For more information, check out question #22: "Why am I seeing different results than you?"
14. It's been 3 months, why aren't I seeing any results yet?
Three months is simply too short a time to see results. If you maintain regular activity on your web properties, you might start to see things rank in the first 3 pages, but you might not. Keep at it!
15. It's been 6 months, why aren't I seeing any results yet?
It depends how you're measuring results. If your goal is to beat a negative result, there will be plenty of smaller successes along the way before you finally push the negative off the first page. Properties will begin to rank on the first three pages and you'll start to displace other irrelevant results along the way.
If you're not seeing any of your properties rank on the first three pages after 6 months, then it may be time to re-evaluate the situation. Is the keyword extremely competitive? Do you need to put more firepower behind your efforts? Is it time to restrategize the way your sites link to each other? Are there easy link-building opportunities you're leaving on the table? Speak with a SEO specialist to come up with a new strategy to reflect what you've learned.
16. It's been a year and the negative is still on the first page. Should we just chalk this up as a failure?
No! There are two things to consider:
- Firepower: Online reputation campaigns can routinely take longer than a year depending on the competitiveness of the keyword and the amount of firepower you put behind your campaign. If your properties are ranking on the first few pages, you can be sure you're on the right path. Keep up the good work and consider increasing the amount of time you put into your campaign.
- Branding: Your online presence is not just a means to an end. It's your personal brand and it tells a truthful, relevant story about you. That negative result may still be ranking, but it no longer defines your online presence. Are your other web properties ranking on the first page? If so, they're mitigating the negative page's impact and telling viewers the full story. Are you earning more monthly website views than the amount of Google searches for your name? If so, then you are beginning to really define the way you are perceived online.
17. Are there some short term tactics we can use?
No. Burying negative results takes time and there is no shortcut to generating authority on a number of web properties. Press releases can sometimes offer "flash-in-the-pan" results because they mimic a news article, but these results fall of SERPs as quickly as they arise.
18. If Twitter and LinkedIn are so authoritative, can't we just create a bunch of those profiles for my name?
Google tends to rank only one result per domain on the first page. So while this sounds like a good idea in theory, it doesn't typically work out in reality. It would be smarter to refocus your efforts on creating amazing content on your already-existing profiles.
19. Why does this process take so long?
It takes time for your web properties to generate enough authority to begin ranking prominently. Even if your properties are more SEO-friendly and optimized better for your name or business, they're still much newer than that negative result. For that reason, it's going to take time for your properties to gain enough authority to overtake it.
I'll share the chart from question #12 here again so you can visualize what I'm talking about:
20. Is the process different if I have a negative image result?
Pushing down a negative image requires the same process as a negative search result, but a different focus. You'll still need to build SEO-friendly web properties and generate consistent quality content, but you'll want to remain focused on the images you upload to your sites and social profiles.
Perhaps you'll add a gallery page to your website and embed many more images into your articles. Whatever you decide, remember to optimize your images properly: use your keyword in the file name, rename the title, and give it appropriate keyword-related alt text. Bonus tip: reduce the image size to the minimum you need for your site so you don't slow things down.
21. How do I optimize a social profile like LinkedIn or Twitter for SEO?
There are 6 steps to optimize any social profile for great search results.
22. Why do I see different results than you're seeing?
There are a number of reasons you might be seeing different search results than someone else. Here are the big 3:
- Location: Especially after the Google Pigeon update, people have started to notice a sometimes-dramatic change in search results depending on the searcher's location. Your results make look horrible in New York but much better in San Francisco. Want to check? To change your search location, click 'Search tools' and then click your location and replace it with your preferred one. (To get a different country's search results, go to the country-specific Google address, like Google.fr for France.)
- Personalization: Your results may be personalized based on your web browser's cookies, your IP address, or other saved data. To avoid this issue entirely, you can reset your cookies or open up an incognito window and search from there.
- Algorithm Experiments: Whenever Google engineers want to test something, they try it on a small percentage of random users. If you're getting different results even after clearing your cookies and searching incognito, your search may be testing a new tweak to help improve the overall results.
23. Why am I seeing different results on mobile?
It's official — Google reports that more Google searches now take place on mobile devices than on computers in 10 countries, including the United States. Since Google always aims to deliver the best user experience, it has increasingly prioritized mobile-responsive websites, especially after the recent "Mobilegeddon" update. If you're seeing different results on mobile, it could be that Google is serving up results based on your search history, your location, or simply because there are some sites that are better for a mobile viewer's experience.
24. It sounds like a long process to change my business's search results. Should I just change my business name?
That's up to you, but consider this: what happens when people do their due diligence and search the previous business's name to gauge your credibility? If you think you can completely cut ties from the business, then it's might be something to consider, but don't go that route before adequately weighing the risks.
25. What's the point of linking everything together?
The benefit of linking everything together in a consolidated way is that you pass little bits of authority between your web of online properties. New social properties won't hold that much authority by themselves, but they will be much stronger once they're tied together on the backend.
This kind of linking strategy makes sense too because it's exactly what a real user would do. Any professional with an array of social media profiles will want to direct people back to their website. When it comes to the future of SEO, focus on doing what a real user would do and you're likely to succeed in the long run.
26. Are we done once we push down the negative result off the 1st page?
The good news is that less than 10% of people search beyond the 1st page. You can probably afford to ease up a little once you've pushed the negative off, but the worst thing you can do is rest on your laurels and let your properties get stagnant. Remember that consistency is key to high search results and maintaining activity on your sites and social profiles is important to keeping them above the competition.
27. Do I need to have a blog?
You don't necessarily NEED one, but you'd definitely be shooting yourself in the foot without one. In most cases, it's simply too tough to get a website to rank on the first page without a consistently active component like a blog.
28. How often do I need to update my blog?
This truly depends on the nature of the negative result and the goals of your campaign. At the very least, you'll want to update your blog once a month with a 350-450 word post. But if you spend more time on your blog — in length, quality, and consistency — you're much more likely to drive quicker results.
29. Do I need to worry about my search results if I don't have a negative?
Yes, absolutely. In most cases, your online presence is the first impression you'll give to employers, clients, and even potential dates. According to 2014 statistics, 80% of employers Google job applicants before they even invite them to an interview.
Plus, preventatively building up a positive online presence is insurance for the online world. The more authority your web properties have, the harder it will be for someone's slanderous comment to rank for your name.
30. I'm a private person — do I need to put information out there about me to beat a negative?
Long gone are the days of keyword stuffing and shoddy content. If the negative result is about you, you'll need to at least talk about yourself in some basic terms to give Google (and ultimately, users) what they're looking for. By naturally weaving your name into the content on your site, you're trying tell Google that your content is not only about you, but it's also more relevant than the negative article. Google is getting much better at gauging quality, relevant content — if you use your name without providing relevant information, you're going to have a hard time convincing Google that your website is more relevant and authoritative than the negative.
That being said, the benefit of having your own websites and social profiles ranking for your name is that you get to choose what information goes online. Instead of a negative article besmirching your name, you'll get to define how you're perceived online. If you're a private person, consider leaving out the personal details and talk instead about your creative process, your love of a particular hobby, or something else entirely.
31. Why do I need to write about myself in the third person?
Google doesn't know who "I" am but it definitely knows my full name. Whenever possible, write bios in the third person to show Google that your content is clearly about you.
32. Will press releases help bury the negative?
There are mixed feelings about press releases in the SEO and ORM industry. At Brandyourself, we're not sold on their efficacy in the long run. In most instances, we've found press releases to offer short-term successes (because they mimic news articles) without giving the desired effect of long-term rankings (because they fall off SERPs as quickly as they show up.)
Like comment sections on blogs, press releases no longer provide dofollow links, the links that are acknowledged for ranking purposes. As Google gets better at sniffing out press releases, they are likely to have less and less of an SEO impact.
33. Would getting articles published on third party publications help?
Absolutely. If you can create really engaging, high-quality pieces of content, third party publications can be a big help to any ORM campaign.
Articles about you are more difficult to acquire, and you also run the risk of a journalist mentioning a relevant negative result.
But getting ordinary articles published on third party publications is a great way to supplement your campaign. Those articles can sometimes rank by themselves merely by being affiliated with your name as an author. Plus, getting an author page on publications like Huffington Post can often provide an awesome place for a valuable backlink to your website and social media.

#dovetail The only time a press release should be created is when there's actual news of interest to report. Simply creating it as a way to 'get content' out there is a waste of resources.
Totally agree, great point
Great article. Thank you. Could you please clarify 2 things about Backlinks, which I would place on my main website, that would link to other accounts like LinkedIn or Twitter or would link back to my main website? 1) Do the Backlinks on my website have to be hot, or hyperlinks, or can I just write them at the appropriate place on my main website? Will it have the same effect? 2) And what about the Backlinks that are placed on LinkedIn pointing back to my main web site or another social media site. Except for one instance I think, any http://www.example.com that you put on LinkedIn does not hyperlink like my example just did in this post. Will a non-hyperlink have the same effect as a true and blue hyperlink, as shown above? Thanks.
Ryan – In my question #1 above, wherever you see the word "backlink" please substitute "outlink". I got confused. #2 refers to backlinks. Thanks.
Thanks Jim!
1) You definitely want them to be hyperlinks, or at least linking in some way (perhaps a social media button). The benefit there is twofold — you can actually send users there with a simple click of a button, and Google's crawlers can make the connection between your website and your LinkedIn or Twitter
2) For LinkedIn, the best place to put a link to your website is in the Contact Info section. See the first image attached.
Once you've clicked Contact Info, there's a spot where you can put a link to your website and even your Twitter. One suggestion there — I like to select "Other" when entering my website so that I can manually enter what I want it to say. Notice (in the 2nd attached image) it says Ryan Erskine's main site instead of just "Website." Better for letting users and Google know what's going on! 🙂
Hope that helps!
Really a good content, useful info for the readers. Thanks for sharing.
Image posting on photo marketing sites can remove bad images from Google search.
Can you explain this in greater detail? I'm not sure how this would work and on what sites to post the images to.
Wonderful Post! Knight Yabut thanks you.

My mom was diagnosed with collect duct carcinoma of kidney (IV stage) and Sutent might be her only hope. However, she is living in China and the drug is so expensive considering her poor retirement compensation there. I am wondering if any one would spare some unused Sutent so that I can mail to her and save her life...
May 12, 2013 - 11:38 pm
It would be better to contact the manufacturer and ask them for for help.
Aug 30, 2013 - 12:45 am
Please email me if you still need the Sutent. I know how expensive these pulls are which is so sad. My father recently passed away and I would like to donate these Sutent pills that I have, please email me at email@example.com. This is for cancer patients that are struggling to pay for this ridiculous amount. And to honor my dad. It worked for him and it held the cancer for a long time
Aug 30, 2013 - 8:20 am
I am so sorry to hear about you Dad, donating the medication in honor of him is a wonderful idea. Have you tried emailing Capricy? If she does not get back to you, I believe there are donation centres across the USA that you could contact.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Technology in the classroom makes teaching and learning better. Educators are pressured to utilize technology the classroom because it will not only make their teaching more effective, but it will also have a more valuable impact on student learning. These pressures that educators are feeling mostly come from the competition that our country is feeling globally. We must keep up with our economic competitors in all aspects of education, including technology in the classroom, in order to stay on top.
According to educational reform, legislation policies, and research, in order to advance student achievement, we as teachers must provide our students with the very best educational technologies. Many teachers are utilizing many different forms of technology in their classrooms. However, these teachers are using technology to enhance their lessons, not transform them. Today's educators are looking to combine the right tech tool, with what suits the subject they are teaching. In addition to that, educators are looking for ways to keep their students engaged and motivated in their lessons. While technology is known for keeping students more engaged in the lesson, if you really want to make your classroom technology more effective, then it also has to be an interactive experience as well.
Here are a few ways to make the technology that you are already using in the classroom a more effective and enriching experience.
There are so many ways to use a computer in your classroom. You most likely are already using it to have students write their essays or look up information. But there are so many other ways that can really amp up your students' learning experiences. Here are a few suggestions.

|Flaming Moe
"They think they're better than us just because their performance reviews reflect that fact..." - Lenny
Flaming Moe is the eleventh episode of Season 22.
Smithers helps Moe turn his tavern into a popular gay bar, but later on Smithers gets offended at Moe for pretending to be gay. Meanwhile, Skinner develops a crush for the new music teacher—Ms. Calliope Juniper—so he talks Bart into going on a date with Ms. Juniper's daughter, Melody, with him and Calliope being chaperones.
Full Story
Feeling down after finding out Mr. Burns didn't put him in his will, Smithers tries to cheer himself up by going to a gay nightclub, but feels even worse when he and several other men (such as Mr. Largo) are rejected for not being in great shape and fashionable. Smithers soon convinces Moe to change his bar into one for more average gay men like himself. Moe initially declines, but after Barney walks out of the bathroom with Moe's Grandmother's Wedding Urinal (Barney thinks that the urinal is his buddy), Moe ultimately agrees to change his bar, learning that he can increase profits by allowing this idea. Moe pretends to be gay in order to invite new consumers. As a result, he wins the trust of the gay community to the point they want him to run for city council. This causes problems for Smithers, who threatens to 'out' Moe as a heterosexual. Given this threat, Moe wonders if he should come clean or allow Smithers to go ahead with the outing. After revealing the truth, the crowd becomes sore and takes off. Moe, feeling like he has nothing to lose, kisses Smithers, stating, "Like Frisbee golf, I'm glad I tried it once."
Meanwhile, Principal Skinner falls in love with Ms. Juniper, who replaces music teacher Mr. Largo. Skinner tries in many ways to make her fall for him, but hopeless as he is with women, he asks Bart for help in winning the new music teacher's heart by having Bart date Juniper's daughter, Melody. After Bart breaks up with Melody, Juniper and Melody move out of town. Before taking off, Miss Juniper asks if Skinner wants to come with them. Willie becomes both the Principal and Groundskeeper on Skinner's leave of absence. Skinner returns to Springfield three months later as revealed by Bart.

Why should I desex my pet?
WellPet Vets offer desexing services to most small domestic animals. These include; Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Ferrets, Rats and Guinea Pigs.
Desexing your pet prior to them reaching puberty (this is approximately 4-6months of age) greatly reduces the incidence of; unwanted pregnancies, hormone related, unfavourable behaviour traits, (e.g. urine marking), serious health issues such as testicular or mammary cancers later on in life.
How long does the procedure take?
Generally Desexing is considered a "Day Procedure" and so your pet will be in hospital for the day. We perform all routine procedures from Monday to Friday.
Your pet will need to be fasted for the procedure. This means for most pets (Note, pockets pets will be different and you should speak to your vet or vet nurse about their requirements) food should be withheld from 9pm the evening prior to their surgery, until their admission, however the water bowl can remain available.
Your pet will have a 15min admission appointment booked for the morning of the procedure. At this appointment you will meet the surgery nurse on duty that day and they will take you through the procedure your pet will be having and discuss any concerns you might have. They will also ask you to sign a consent form and a receptionist will organise your deposit before you leave your pet with us. You will then receive an update via phone from your pet's surgical nurse after your pets surgery and when your pet is in recovery. They will at this time, book a discharge appointment for your pet that afternoon.
Is desexing my pet safe?
At WellPet Vets we take the safety of anaesthesia and your pet very seriously. However, with every anaesthetic there is a mild risk. We compensate for this by using the latest and safest anaesthetic protocols and drugs. We also have a qualified Veterinary Nurse monitoring your pet's anaesthetic and vital functions throughout the procedure.
We can lower the risk of anaesthetics further by doing two things:
1. The first is pre-anaesthetic blood work. This is a series of blood tests done in the hospital to screen your pet for any abnormalities prior to giving your pet any medications.
2. The second thing we can do is use IV fluids prior/during and after the procedure. This keeps your pets internal organs supported by helping maintain an adequate blood pressure and flushing out the anaesthetic drugs in their system. This helps them recover faster.
Unfortunately, although we feel and recommend that pre-anaesthetic blood work and IV fluids are very important for EVERY procedure, they are not currently industry standard and therefore incur and additional fee. Please speak to your surgical nurse upon admission to elect for pre-anaesthetic testing and IV fluids to be performed for your pet.
If you would like more information on desexing your pet or to make an appointment please contact our friendly team on 1300 WELLPET.

With my youngest children entering teen years, I recently joined a dating site. Typical kind of thing, a series of questions to answer to help potential suitors tune into your world and see if you are possibly "the one" or a close enough approximation.
However, many of the answers didn't really give me enough of a clue. For example, under the question "What makes you laugh?" many people had written "Jokes" or "Funny stuff". And under the question, "What do you like doing?" some had put "Having fun." Or "Having a laugh". Continue reading Pushing Magic Buttons

Currently under the Prostitution Act and the Criminal Code, most prostitution related activities are illegal. However, like the laws in many common law jurisdictions, the act of prostitution in itself is not an offence.
There is a strong correlation between prostitution and the increase in sex trafficking, the operation of illegal brothels and under-age prostitution, and to higher rates of other types of organized crime.
Will your party commit to supporting the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry into:
a) The suitability of the Nordic-approach which focuses law enforcement on the purchaser in the WA context; and
b) The feasibility of State-funded exit-programs focusing on those wanting to escape prostitution?
Australian Christians
Yes. AC supports the Nordic Model.
Prostitution has been a vexed issue for Government for many years. The Liberal Government introduced a Bill which allowed prostitution to be legalised in certain areas. The Liberal Government's Bill was introduced into Parliament but never debated due to the inability of the Liberal Government to ensure support from its own Members. WA Labor did not support this bill.
Calls from certain quarters to adopt the so-called "Nordic Model" to control prostitution bears further investigation, however serious doubts have been raised by some researchers that this model simply drives the trade underground, creating more danger for sex workers. WA Labor has no plans to change the current laws.
Liberal Party
Did not answer.

Dax Riggs
We Sing Only of Blood or Love
(Fat Possum)
I still believe in rock 'n'roll like some sad sack Catholic, dutifully traipsing off to mass, hoping the Virgin will one day appear in my oatmeal and make years of devotion and guilt pay off, but my faith weakens with each passing year. The mainstays: Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Elvis, the Clash, the Ramones, The Replacements - whatever pilings to which I would tie my spiritual dingy are all showing sings of rot. And they are supposed to - rock 'n' roll is not built to last the ravages of time. Well, maybe Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were; never underestimate the lasting power of British Steel. What gets me through the night are not grand crumbling temples of rock, but the little antennae that crop up broadcasting the original teen sex death energy as long as it can before the winds topple them over, and the latest signal to which my dial is tuned is Dax Riggs.
Riggs is the Neil Diamond-rich former voice of last year's phenom Deadboy and the Elephantmen and former metal casualty of cult demon cabal Acid Bath. He also happens to be from my nowheresville hometown of Houma, LA. He came up in the apartments by the mall a number of years after I came up in the apartments by the K-Mart. Somehow, Riggs manages to scoop up the Zeppelin and Sabbath worship that still cripples the youth of towns like ours, mixes it with the rebel yell protest of metal, punk, new wave and apocalyptic folk rock and creates rock music of Zarathustran stature, standing before the misty mountain, blinking at us before it disappears into its foggy crags forever.
This massive record opens with a plaintive power ballad with the perfectly ridiculous title and chorus "Demon Tied to a Chair in My Brain." Astute listeners will immediately hear the brilliant production of Matt Sweeney, who coaxed some weedy rock splendor out of Will Oldham a couple years ago on Superwolf. Riggs knows the formula like the way apartment kids do the 7-11, kicking "demon" into rock overdrive at the end. Riggs has the best rock vocals going - he could give all Stone Temple Pilots-in-training directions to Jim Morrison International Airport. See the ragged spooky kaleidoscopes of "Didn't Know Yet What I'd Known" and "Night Is the Notion" where he croons up through the smoke as if he's searching for air.
The real shit, though, is "Radiation Blues," an improbable perfect rock monster. Blacker than any Crowes, bearing more rusty guns and thorny roses than all the democracy in China, stoking the fires with "there is only death" before the wild stallions of this song trample the earth. Two-and-a-half minutes of lost rock brilliance. I'm going to sit here and listen to it again as you pull it up on his MySpace page.
"Terrors of the Nightlife" is a synthy, goseplly interlude and is one of the few missteps here, not because he can't carry the vocals or anything, but because his constant devil/apocalypse imagery is better served by either a blown Marshall stack or a ragged pawn shop acoustic. "Truth in the Dark" is as abrupt a change as being knocked over by a skateboarder on the sidewalk, followed the slow-rising dark tide of "A Spinning Song." His adolescent death shtick is positively contagious - I want to scribble a pentagram on the back of my laptop, like I did my Converse lo-tops back at that apartment complex.
"Ouobouros" is his first acoustic foray here, and the "Ramblin' Rose" Neal influence is all the more palpable. He chants "tonight, I ain't got time to die" with a smile that totally works. "Living is Suicide" is a great teen sex death anthem, building up like stockpiled hormones ready to explode when the guitars build up. If I ever decide to go out in a game of chicken, hysterically weeping at fate, I'll put this song on the stereo. And as my cartoon spirit leaves the wreckage as assembled rubberneckers scratch their heads wondering what that old fat guy was thinking, "Ghost Movement" will play, echoing like The Band in its first half, only to kick into the intoxicating punk section when I am deposited unknowingly in Limbo, set to run screaming forever.
"Dog-Headed Whore" along with bearing the best title of a song I've heard this year, is his second death-soaked acoustic ramble. It sounds like the guitar is strung with barbed wire, and the stomp that accompanies it surely comes from a cloven hoof. Then, from the last flickering light o the horizon comes the real teen anthem "Wall of Death." The incongruous juxtaposition of the song's chugging sonic positivism with "let me
write ride on the on the wall of death one more time" is ridiculously perfect. I don't know Riggs, having only met him once after he was already a famous Deadboy, signing off enthusiastically on my Neil Diamond comparisons, so I don't know how funny these songs are meant to be, but his way with melodrama is masterful. The dusty-road ramble of "Scarlett of Heaven nor Hell" is a further example.
Like all classic records, it closes with a torch ballad. Riggs' voice has a smoothness that could make Rufus Wainwright hang up his vocal chords on "If All Death Is as Bright." The song is the perfect make out at the post-apocalypse prom, the disco ball refracting the encroaching radiation fires flickering onto the gymnasium walls; the chained doors straining as the zombie hordes bang on them form the outside. This may be the last song, baby, so let's get close.
(Ed: Busted! Not only did I mix "ride" for "write," but I failed to notice that "Walls of Death" is a Richard Thompson song from Shoot Out the Lights, and makes much more lyrical sense with that correction. So much for the tacit critical adoration of Richard Thompson! Thanks for the correction, Alex.)
Alex V. Cook listens to everything and writes about most of it. His latest book, the snappily titled Louisiana Saturday Night: Looking for a Good Time in South Louisiana's Juke Joints, Honky-Tonks, and Dance Halls is an odyssey from the backwoods bars and small-town dives to the swampside dance halls and converted clapboard barns of a Louisiana Saturday Night.

Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards convened a meeting of leading international researchers in water management during his economic development mission to Israel. At Ben-Gurion University in southern Israel, Gov. Edwards joined leaders from the Baton Rouge-based Water Institute of the Gulf and the Israel-based Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research as they signed a five-year agreement to participate in strategic research initiatives together.
President and CEO Justin Ehrenwerth of The Water Institute of the Gulf and Director Noam Weisbrod of the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research signed the five-year Memorandum of Understanding, which commits each institute to collaboration on groundwater research, applications to improve farming, better utilization of drinking water aquifers, surface water and stream research, and other fields that support and enhance human life.
"The spirit of our mission to Israel is to join two peoples and two cultures in a way that brings lasting benefit to both our lands," Gov. Edwards said. "The Negev, the vast desert of southern Israel and home to the Zuckerberg Institute, is a striking contrast to the Mississippi River and coastal Louisiana, where The Water Institute of the Gulf is based. But the reality is both of these institutes conduct water management research all over the world, and both can bring their scientists and research together to solve our biggest challenges related to water. Just as The Water Institute of the Gulf formalized its relationship last year with the renowned Dutch institute Deltares, we believe this relationship with the Zuckerberg Institute will be very fruitful for our state."
Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, or CPRA, manages a $50 billion Coastal Master Plan that is generating private sector growth in water management as the state implements coastal preservation solutions for decades to come. Both CPRA and The Water Institute of the Gulf, along with the LSU Center for River Studies, are housed on the 35-acre Water Campus in Baton Rouge, where up to 4,000 employees eventually are expected to work in up to 1.6 million square feet of developed facilities. Over the next generation, as many as 45,000 direct and indirect jobs could result from Louisiana's growing water management sector.
In addition to coastal research, The Water Institute of the Gulf has conducted National Science Foundation-funded work addressing the August 2016 flood along the Amite River, and it has pursued applied research as far away as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Ehrenwerth, the institute's president and CEO, and Alyssa Dausman, the institute's vice president for science, participated in the MOU signing and exchange at Ben-Gurion University, a research university of more than 20,000 students with a renowned biotechnology park and public-private partnerships in energy, fuels, robotics, cybersecurity, homeland security and other fields.
"We're very excited about this opportunity to collaborate with the innovative thinkers at the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research and Ben-Gurion University," Ehrenwerth said. "The lessons Louisiana and Israel have learned through our respective decades of pioneering water research represent a strong foundation for working together to address future challenges."
While coastal Louisiana can receive more than 70 inches of annual rainfall, Beersheba's semi-arid climate can see fewer than 10 inches of rain per year. Founded in 2002, the Zuckerberg Institute is part of the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research – one of six national research institutes at Ben-Gurion University – and is located at the Sede Boqer Campus of the university, further south in the Negev. Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, established his retirement home at the kibbutz, or communal settlement, of Sede Boqer, which includes tourism, a vineyard, winery and other agricultural and research pursuits among its industries.
"Our arid climate – and ongoing, continuous water shortage – forces us to think creatively about water use, and especially about conservation," said Professor Noam Weisbrod, the Zuckerberg Institute director. "Put that together with our high motivation and dynamic nature, and you've got a winning combination with the ability to think creatively, tackle water-related challenges, and to solve problems."
Among its projects, Louisiana's Water Institute of the Gulf worked in eastern Texas to examine how changes in water management could mitigate some impacts of drought and is currently working with communities around the state on ground and surface water management projects. The Zuckerberg Institute in Israel specializes in desalination and water treatment, one area of potential joint research between the two institutes.
Gov. Edwards and the Louisiana delegation also visited Israel's Iron Dome while in the Negev Desert. Designed and developed by Israel with joint U.S. funding, the Iron Dome is a missile defense system that intercepts and destroys short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances as far as 40 miles away. Over the last week, the Iron Dome was utilized to intercept dozens of rockets being fired at Southern Israel.
While in Beersheba, the Louisiana delegation also took part in a briefing and demonstration by Israel's CyberSpark Industry Initiative, a major priority of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to create a global center of cybersecurity technology, research and economic development.
Cybersecurity will continue to be a focus of Gov. Edwards' economic development mission to Israel, with visits to leading cybersecurity companies planned for Wednesday. Tuesday's activities will focus on geopolitics and cultural destinations in northern Israel, followed by a key briefing early Wednesday with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Deputy Minister Michael Oren.
Photos of the MOU signing with Ben-Gurion University and the Water Institute of the Gulf are available here.

Contract awarded to Develop Influenza Vaccines
How very convenient - at the same time as the order to quarantine, a contract is awarded to develop vaccines. Using cell based method - which definitely relies on none of the experiments escaping accidentally! But we feel safe with that - don't we.......... Pat
News Release

HHS Awards $97 Million Contract to Develop Cell Culture-Based Influenza Vaccine Effort Designed to Diversify and Accelerate Vaccine Production to Enhance Pandemic Preparedness
HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt announced today that the Department has awarded a $97 million contract to Sanofi Pasteur to speed the production process for new influenza vaccines for the U.S. The five-year award supports the development of advanced techniques using a cell-based, rather than an egg-based, approach to producing influenza vaccines. The contract also calls for plans to establish a U.S.-based, cell cultured influenza vaccine manufacturing facility.
"This action begins the process of speeding up influenza vaccine production, improving surge capacity and scaling up U.S. manufacturing capability," Secretary Leavitt said. "As a result, this should allow the U.S. to have influenza vaccines in a more timely, less laborious manner, and it provides another tool for responding to and controlling a global influenza pandemic."
Currently licensed influenza vaccines are produced in chicken eggs in a process that takes nearly nine months. Scientists must first select the virus strains that they anticipate will be the predominant strains circulating in the U.S. during the following season. These strains are then adapted to grow in eggs. Manufacturers inject each adapted virus strain separately into millions of fertilized eggs, which are subsequently incubated to produce influenza virus. Large batches of these eggs are harvested and blended into a single vaccine product that includes all three influenza virus strains.
Using a cell culture approach to producing influenza vaccine offers a number of benefits. Vaccine manufacturers can bypass the step needed to adapt the virus strains to grow in eggs. In addition, cell culture-based influenza vaccines will help meet surge capacity needs in the event of a shortage or pandemic, since cells may be frozen in advance and large volumes grown quickly. U.S. licensure and manufacture of influenza vaccines produced in cell culture also will provide security against risks associated with egg-based production, such as the potential for egg supplies to be contaminated by various poultry-based diseases. Finally, the new cell-based influenza vaccines will provide an option for people who are allergic to eggs and therefore unable to receive the currently licensed vaccines.
Cell-based influenza vaccines use mammalian cells to grow the influenza viruses used in the vaccine. Under this contract, Sanofi Pasteur, a part of the Sanofi Pasteur Group, will develop, scale-up, and manufacture clinical investigational lots of inactivated influenza vaccines using human cells. These vaccines will be tested in human clinical trials in adult, elderly, and pediatric populations within the U.S. In addition, Sanofi Pasteur will develop plans for a U.S. manufacturing facility capable of producing at least 300 million doses of a pandemic influenza vaccine using this technology.
This contract is one of several contracts that HHS has awarded during the past year to enhance pandemic influenza preparedness and the annual influenza vaccine supply. Earlier awards were made to increase domestic influenza vaccine capacity, secure year round vaccine raw materials and supplies, and develop pandemic-like vaccine candidates for clinical evaluation.
This contract follows the August 2004 release of the draft National Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Plan, which outlines a coordinated national strategy to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. The draft plan may be found online at http://www.hhs.gov/nvpo/pandemicplan and is a result of years of work by the Department.

Texas Doctor Sentenced In Prescription Drug Conspiracy
SHERMAN, Texas - A Dallas physician has been sentenced to federal prison for conspiracy to sell illegal prescriptions in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston today.
Habiboola Niamatali, 75, of Dallas, was found guilty by a jury in July 2016 of conspiracy to distribute Hydrocodone, Alprazolam, and Promethazine with Codeine outside the usual course of professional practice and without a legitimate medical purpose. Niamatali was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison today by U.S. District Judge Marcia Crone. Niamatali was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine.
According to information presented in court, Niamatali used his medical clinics in Garland and Lancaster to sell illegal prescriptions for cash. The defendant attempted to cover up his scheme by ordering his staff to falsify medical records. Niamatali was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 10, 2013.
Before the trial, the staff members who falsified the records, Esmeralda Lozada and Lisa Tumlinson, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and were sentenced respectively to 16 months and 10 months in prison. Additionally, the physician's wife, Shirley Niamatali, admitted that she knew about the conspiracy, pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony, was sentenced to 3 years of probation, and fined $20,000.
"'Do no Harm,' the Hippocratic Oath adhered to by all but a few physicians, remains as sacred today as it was centuries ago," said Acting U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston. "Dr. Niamatali chose to violate the oath and his duty as a physician by choosing to harm others by prescribing unwarranted drugs."
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration - Dallas Tactical Diversion Squad, DeSoto Police Department, and the Ellis County Sheriff's Office.

Commercial Vehicle Livery Design & Fleet Vehicle Wrapping
When it comes to brand awareness for your business, nothing can benefit you more than your company's image or your latest advertisement on your fleet of vehicles.
When you consider vehicle wrapping for your company's fleet versus traditional signwriting and livery, there really is no comparison. Standard van signwriting, for example, is often painted and bland, with nothing to draw attention from the public. It is also expensive for the service you receive, and is permanent.
On the other hand, vehicle wraps look amazing. They are eye-catching, they can be in any custom design or colour you require, and you can add any decals or graphics that you choose.Vehicle wrapping gives you much more choice, and also turns your fleet in to a collection of mobile billboards to advertise your brand. It is cost-effective and a great marketing budget spend.
Commercial vehicles are seen, on average, by 3000 people per hour. That is a lot of brand exposure for your business, so you really need to make the most of that by having the best bespoke graphics on your fleet.
The premium quality 3M vinyl film that we use is the chosen wrap of huge companies such as Royal Mail, RAC and the AA, so you know you will be choosing well when you choose to use the Vehicle Wrapping Centre.
Compared to more labour-intensive painting options, commercial vehicle wrapping is much more cost effective. In terms of marketing your business, wrapping your cars, vans, trucks, buses etc. is by far the best value for money with regards to the brand exposure you get.
Another great perk is that, whilst vinyl wraps last 5 years when they are well cared for, they are temporary. This means that if you need to change your commercial vehicle wrap design after 2 or 3 years, you can. Perhaps you will have a new advertising campaign you'd like to promote, or some details have changed since your first wrap – such as a contact number, or your company's image or logo. The best thing about wrapping is, you don't have to remove and replace the whole wrap; we can replace just the panel or panels of vinyl that you would like to alter.
Wrapping your fleet also protects it from chips and scratches, so 5 years down the line your vehicle's body work will look just as good as the day it was wrapped. Vans and trucks often receive a lot of this type of damage, so vinyl wraps are a great choice to protect them for resale afterwards.
Whether you need 1 or 100s of commercial vehicles wrapping, we are experts in this field. Our technicians are fully qualified and have a wealth of experience, and our centre is the perfect environment for applying flawless wraps. We have an in-house design team to help you throughout the planning process, so you end up with the ultimate vehicle graphic solutions for your business. Nobody will miss your vehicles out on the road, or parked up, with our professional wrapping service!
Take a look at a few of our vehicle wraps that we have completed below in the gallery, for more images like these you can view our portfolio here.

Cell Signaling in Cardiovascular Disease
About This Research Area
Cell regulation encompasses all the functions cells carry out to maintain homeostasis, in particular their responses to extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) and how cells transduce intracellular responses prompted by such signals. In addition to endogenous agents, many drugs and environmental agents use these same mechanisms to produce their most important effects. Understanding of cell signaling processes is fundamental to all areas of cardiovascular research. Numerous research opportunities exist within this program ranging from studies exploring new cell signaling mechanisms, to those examining aberrant signaling mechanisms associated with cardiovascular disease. Significantly, many of the recent breakthroughs in cardiovascular therapeutics result from basic studies on signaling molecules.

Mortgage Payment Calculator
Use our mortgage loan calculator to determine the monthly payments for any fixed-rate loan. Just enter the amount and terms, and our mortgage calculator does the rest. Click on "Show Amortization" Table to see how much interest you'll pay each month and over the lifetime of the loan. The mortgage loan calculator will also show how extra payments can accelerate your payoff and save thousands in interest charges.
Amortization Table
Whether you're buying a new home or refinancing, our mortgage calculator can do the math for you. Simply enter the amount, term and interest rate to get your monthly payment amount. If you're refinancing, enter the current balance on your mortgage into the loan amount section and input the new term and new rate that you'll receive. Then click on the amortization table to see how much interest you'll pay over the life of the loan. Add extra payments to find out how they can put your payoff schedule on the fast-track and save you thousands.
Keep in mind that this calculator only calculates the mortgage payment. It does not include taxes, insurance or other fees included in the purchase of your home.
Loan amount: The amount of money you're borrowing. It's the cost of your new home minus the down payment if you're buying or the balance on your existing mortgage if refinancing.

Dear Bruce:
This letter is to you, Bruce. I watched your latest interview with Diane Sawyer on Friday, April 24, 2015, in the which you continually spoke of how you had spent almost your entire life living with confusion as to who you are, and what you want to become for the remainder of your life. I marvelled when you spoke of the Lord God and how you yourself acknowledged that God had placed the "soul of a woman" inside of you, with God saying, "now let's see what you do with that." You are right! God did place those emotions within you, however, it is not truly the "soul of a woman" inside of you. God did give you tender emotions…maybe more so than He has given to other men…however, they are the roots of a larger-than-life emotion called compassion.
However, Bruce, God would absolutely never break His own laws and put a "woman's soul" inside of you, a man. But you are not the only man that has ever had more tender emotions; I think of the Jewish king, King David….just read the Book of Psalms…jam-packed with David's emotions written down for everyone to read for the last four thousand years approximately.
Psalm 6:8
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
David was not ashamed of his tenderness and his compassionate heart for God and for others as well. David could have killed Saul several times, however, because of his love for God and the fact that Saul had been anointed king by God Himself, he refused to lay his hands upon him to take his life. Yet, David was a man's man even though he had a tender heart.
I think next of the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself. He wept over Jerusalem and stated:
Matthew 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
In this passage, the Lord Jesus Christ does take on the attributes of a feminine quality by aligning Himself with a mother hen who gathers her chickens under her wings in order to protect them. Yet, the Lord Jesus Christ was most definitely a man's man. It took enormous strength to withstand those cruel beatings and the torture that He endured for our sakes. It took a great compassionate heart and a merciful soul to lay His life down and hang on that cross so that we could receive forgiveness for our sins, transgressions and iniquities.
Bruce, we have an enemy who wants nothing more than to "steal, kill, and destroy" us….US…God's creation. When the enemy saw God placing within you the tenderness and the compassion, he began a campaign of lies against you, to distort, pervert and warp the truth of what God had given to you; by telling lies into your ears that you really had a "woman's soul" trapped within you so that you would be uncomfortable in your own skin. His design has been to lead you down roads of confusion to the end that you now find yourself facing…an end of your own choosing, of ending or changing the athletic body….the body of a man's man….that God Himself gave to you. For what? So that you can form on the outside what you have always thought you were feeling on the inside?
Even back when I was ten years old, my uncle who was an alcoholic, jumped out of his chair as if he was going to hit my mother; I also jumped up and stood between him and my mother and told him that he would have to go through me first. I was also a single mother and on two distinct occasions, I had to act very aggressively in order to protect my daughter. First, I had to stand toe-to-toe against a drunken and enraged man and the next one, a few years later, I had to jump into the fray against a girl gang who was beating up my daughter. You can better believe that I got very aggressive….just like a man. Yet, I could have believed the lies the enemy might have told me…that really, I had the "soul of a man" inside….after all, look how aggressive I became. Wow, just like a man…. Thankfully, I am very much a woman of God.
James 3:16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Bruce, as you yourself have said during your interview last Friday, you mentioned your confusion and that is simply because you have always felt internal strife….this has produced the confusion…and now finally you will begin to experience every evil work. The evil work is the fruit of the seeds of the many lies that the enemy began telling you when you were a young boy.
I'm pretty sure that you have always wondered why God seems to have put all of these gentle emotions within you, yet formed a man's body to house them. As I see it, God did this perhaps to make you to be as a sign and a symbol to other men that it's perfectly okay to feel tenderness and/or compassion.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
After all, here is Bruce Jenner, winner of the decathlon….no mean feat to win such a title…and then to be called the "greatest athlete ever"…and this is what you want to change?
Our culture tries to dictate what makes a man a man, and a woman a woman. Sometimes, however, God sees things totally different and He calls those things that be not as though they are.
Bruce, you need to seek the face of the Lord God and His Son, the Lord Jesus…you know the man's man…the one who had such tender compassion for you that He died for you. The Lord Jesus knows what it is like to have these emotions and He alone can cause you to finally feel comfortable in your skin, which is that of a man's skin.
1 Chronicles 16:11
Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.
Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.
Bruce, please re-think what you are about to do.
Sincerely Yours

BRETT D'Oliveira continued his stunning individual show in a spectacular return to form but his efforts may not save Worcestershire from defeat at Glamorgan.
The Specsavers County Championship Division Two leaders were already 79 runs ahead in the first innings after dismissing Worcestershire for 370 in reply to 449.
Glamorgan then secured an overnight lead of 216 with nine wickets remaining going into the final day at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, by scoring 137-1.
Worcester-born D'Oliveira, who had previously struggled with the bat this season, did his best with 103 off 158 balls adding to a career-best 7-92 in the hosts' first innings.
County captain Joe Leach said: "Brett's innings was probably one of the best I've seen in a Worcestershire shirt.
"It took us from a position where we just avoided the follow-on and were staring down the barrel of 150 for us then to start bowling with an 80-run deficit to give us a chance to win the game if we'd bowled a bit better in the last session."
On D'Oliveira's performances with bat and ball, Leach said: "Both achievements, on their own and together, are outstanding."
But Glamorgan's Marnus Labuschagne (90 not out) became the first batsman across all counties to reach 1,000 first-class runs this season.
He built a second-wicket partnership of more than 100 with Nick Selman (42no) to take his side a step closer to the win.
But the innings had begun poorly when Owen Morgan was caught behind for a duck off Leach from just the sixth delivery.
Earlier in the day, having resumed their first innings on 191-5, Charlie Morris and Ed Barnard looked to reduce Worcestershire's deficit from the outset.
But they got off to a calamitous start as Morris (7), attempting a quick single, was run out by Billy Root in the seventh over.
Barnard reached his half-century from 93 deliveries, bringing up the milestone with successive boundaries after Glamorgan's Lukas Carey had taken the new ball.
But he was then dismissed lbw to Michael Hogan for 56.
The visitors obtained a second batting point shortly before Ben Cox (12) edged Dan Douthwaite to wicketkeeper Tom Cullen.
Worcestershire gained a third batting point early in the afternoon session but soon lost Leach (16) when he was caught behind off Hogan and Glamorgan claimed full bonus points for the match.
D'Oliveira reached his half-century from 70 deliveries including five fours.
A patient Adam Finch, who had got off the mark from his 15th delivery, took until his 36th to score again when he drove Hogan through the off-side for four.
D'Oliveira struck 12 fours in his ton before he was caught and bowled by Hogan from the final delivery before tea with the bowler claiming 5-62.
