Images of herself on big game hunts taunting her critics. Well talk to her. And end of the road. The little robot on a Cross Country journey to San Francisco. Strangers supposed to get him all the way. But then this happened. How the happy little life of the robot came to a sad end today, monday, august 3rd, 2015. From nbc news this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today. 7 00 a. M. On the west coast on monday. Im Savannah Guthrie. Our big story is out west. Scary scene in california. Over 20 individual fires but a couple of them very, very alarming. Its our top story this morning. Thousands of homes now being threatened by this california wildfire. And overnight, emergency officials stepped up evacuation orders. Nbcs joe fryar is live in lake port, north of San Francisco this morning. Good morning to you, joe. Good morning, savannah. We have just learned this fire is now 60,000 acres burned, growing at a rate that is described as unprecedented. The flames have moved to a more remote area away from homes but in these conditions they know things can change in an instant. Reporter the rocky fire was an unpredictable monster that still growing this morning. Even veteran firefighters say theyve never seen anything like it and at one point the flames tore through 20,000 acres in just five hours. The challenges the firefighters have been getting is that erratic winds and wind shifts have been moving the fire in other directions. Reporter the single fire is consumed 84 square miles thats an area larger than the city of st. Louis. Two dozen homes are already gone and thousands more have been evacuated. This is alarming. Its a little surreal. And just kind of keeps you on your toes. Reporter crews are intentionally setting backfires, burning up dry brush before the fire can get to it. National guard helicopters and air tankers are now on the scene after the governor declared a state of emergency. We put retardant down so our firefighters can get in there and put the fire out. Reporter the air assault was key as a new brush fire moved through the national forest. Across california, more than 20 large fires are now burning, making things worse, Mother Nature keeps sending in storm clouds that produce lightning but little to no rain sparking hundreds of smaller fires. Its frightening but we can get through it. Temperatures are a bit cooler today which should help. We just learned this rocky fire is now 12 contained which means crews are making progress. About 2,000 firefighters are on the scene. It is a big effort. Savannah and carson . A lot of work to do this morning. Joe fryar, thank you. A fast and violent moving storm is blamed for a tent collapse in chicago. The storms are causing more problems as they roll east. John yang is in great lake, illinois. John, good morning. Good morning, carson. You can see the cleanup already under way here in grays lake, illinois. Across this community, big trees down at the high School Across town. Parts of the roof torn off. And the National WeatherService Launched a survey team to figure out if all this damage is due to a tornado. Reporter Severe Weather turned deadly over the weekend when high winds caused a tent to collapse at a small festival in suburban chicago. We had one fatality, three serious injuries and about 17 to 20 minor injuries. Reporter John Anderson said the band was just minutes away from performing at the prairie fest. 25 miles northwest of chicago. Wh the storm hit sending festival goers scrambling for cover. Basically, i was on stage left. I just walked away from the canopy and the poles started falling the other way. And then i see the whole tent had fallen over. And from there it was just ch s chaos. I was really scared. I saw all the ambulance coming and the thunder was so terrifying and the lightning and i was really, really afraid. And just all happened, flash before my eyes. Reporter the dangerous storm systems across the midwest brought tornadoes to the region. A huge twister touched down in iowa on sunday evening. Oh, wow reporter the tornado picked up debris and destroyed a few barns but no reports of injuries. And the suburb of grays lake, illinois, Officials Say another tornado may have touched down, high winds and hail littering streets with toppled trees and power lines. Severe weather extending to greenville, michigan, emergency crews working overnight to remove fallen debris. Meanwhile, back in chicagos grant park, the popular lalapalooza Music Festival shutting down briefly sunday afternoon due to the weather, resuming an hour later. Organizers ended the final day of the festival 30 minutes early when another storm hit the area. Officials in wooddale have just identified the fatality there as 35yearold stephen minsic. Across this region, theyre grateful that the death toll wasnt higher. Savannah . John yang in illinois, thank you for that. And politics, it is a big week in the president ial race. Republicans are holding their first debate thursday night. On the democratic side, a bombshell over the weekend. Reports that Vice President joe biden is seriously considering a run for the white house. Nbcs Andrea Mitchell has all the headlines this morning. Andrea, good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. Vice president bidens aides say he will decide by late summer amidst the new speculation he may run against Hillary Clinton in the democratic primary. It is a decision possibly born in tragedy, a dying wish from his son beau. My father, my hero, the next Vice President of the United States, joe biden. Reporter a wish also endorsed by bidens surviving son hunter. Their hope that their dad would challenge frontrunner Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination. Hes a heartbeat away from the presidency for eight years. I think he thinks hes qualified and anybody in that position would be thinking about it. Reporter the biden aide is getting regulars, including some that signed on with clinton. Almost all the biden donors have gone over to Hillary Clinton already. So i think its too late to mount a Serious Campaign at this stage. Reporter biden has run for president twice before and stumbled. And as Vice President , he had been prone to gaps. And at times excessive exuberance. But biden proved his loyalty and become a key adviser to the president. While clinton, although polling way ahead of the other democrats, has recently suffered a sharp uptick in people saying they dont trust her. Possibly a reaction to controversies like her private emails. The Campaign Says its not concerned. Theres a lot of views in the Democratic Party and, you know, well be prepared to handle whatever comes our way. Reporter in fact tomorrow, clinton starts airing her first tv ads in iowa and New Hampshire costing 2 million. I believe that when families are strong, america is strong. Reporter a biden run would put president obama in the awkward position of having to choose between his Vice President and his former secretary of state. Savannah . All right. An andrea, thank you so much. David axelrod worked with the senior white house advice adviser, david, good morning. Good morning. How real is this . Do you think the Vice President is seriously considering a run . Well, well look at it through his eyes. He was a United States senator for 36 years. Very distinguished career there. He was one of the most hes been one of the most constructive Vice President s in history. Very close relationship with the president. The middle class issue that is now the name of this campaign is the theme of his whole political career and so hes probably looking at this and saying why not me . But then there is the other side of the equation which is what it takes to put a president ial Campaign Together against a very foremidable opponent. I think that is a real big reality check here. So im a little skeptical about the bombshell of the weekend. Sometimes the speculation is just that. Its out of thin air, comes from nowhere. Sometimes as you well know as a former Top White House adviser, it is deliberately planted in the press. Its a trial balloon to see if the support is there. Do you think thats what were seeing here . Do you think Vice President or those close to him have left this kind of float out into the eejer to see what people think of it . Well, someone let it out into the ether. The question is whether it was him. There is no doubt in my mind that he believes himself to be a peer of secretary clintons and probably feels he would be a stronger nominee. But whether he wanted to come out in this way, i have some doubts. He really has to measure is a cost benefit analysis. He has obtained great stature as a senior statesman within the Democratic Party. Does he want to risk all that in a battle that he would be very uphill. Its very personal. The Vice President told close aides, Close Associates that his son beau biden from his hospital bed urged him to run. In fact, the New York Times talked about it this weekend in detake. Beau was losing the nouns and right side of his face was paralyzed. He tried to make his father promise to run. How much do you think this stems from that . From the emotion of the loss of beau biden and his request that his father run . Well, i spent some time with the Vice President. I think anybody who has knows just how hard that was, has hit him and how close he was to his son. And what a loss this has been. But again, i think the other side of it this is a guys that been a president ial candidate or tout the as one since 1972. He has run twice and knows what takes. I think that discussion has to be had yet. The emotion is powerful but not enough to make a decision to run for president. Ill put you on the spot before we go here. Youre a strategist. You would advice him to run . I would not. I know what it takes to put a president ial Campaign Together. And it is late in the game. Secretary clinton for all her problems, some of them selfinflicted, still has a very high rating among democrats. And that, of course, is what determines who the nominee will be. And a big head start. So i you know, i really have such a high regard for joe biden. I think hes been a great Vice President and great public official. Id hate to see him risk it all on a campaign that likely wouldnt succeed. David axelrod, always good to get your perspective. Thank you very much. Good to be with you. Police in memphis are stepping up the manhunt for a suspect accused of killing an officer during a traffic stop. Lets get more from kerry sanders. Good morning. Well good morning. Police here say the man who shot officer bolton shot and killed him should be considered armed and dangerous. That he is convicted of armed robbery. Why did he shoot officer bolton .

Lets turn to natalie. She has the top stories of the morning. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. Investigators in new mexico say explosions at two churches on sunday morning were deliberate and meant to harm. A male box at a Baptist Church in new mexico exploded just after 8 00 a. M. On sunday. 20 minutes later, another explosion went off in a trash can about three miles away near a catholic church. No one was injured. Authorities say theyre now following up on several leads. They cannot link the attacks to any one group at this time. This morning a Kansas Community is remembering a 9yearold boy who died overnight. He was descentally struck in the head by a baseball bat during a weekend game. Their bat boi, 9yearold Kaiser Carlisle passed away after being struck in the head during the game saturday. Witnesses say kaiser who was wearing a helmet ran on to the field to retrieve a bat when he was accidentally hit by a player taking practice swings. He was swinging and it hit him in the helmet. Knocked him down. He got back up but he went right back down again and everybody came out and helped him. Paramedics responded immediately but kaiser remained in Critical Condition over the weekend before passing away. Tributes flooded social media overnight. One photo showing the team kneeling together in prayer after learning the tragic news. One player posted online, knowing your last moments were on the baseball field makes it easier through this whole process because you were doing what you loved. Another teammate wrote, you are a special, amazing boy and heaven has opened its loving arms for you. Well be seeing you up there, buddy. Just heartbreaking. The bjs honored him writing initials on their hats and even on the scoreboard and they credited their 80 win to their beloved bat boy. A pilot was killed sunday after a helicopter made a crash landing during an air show in russia. Four military helicopters we are performing a maneuver when one chopper started spinning out of control. It went down quickly and burst into flames whether it hit the ground. The cause of the crash is under investigation. If you thought it was dangerous to be a nascar driver speeding around the track at 190 miles per hour, try being part of the pit crew. Take a look at what happened sunday at the pocono race ray. Driver Brad Kozlowski came in a bit too fast at the pit and hit two of his crew members. They sent a tire flying. The two crew members did get up though right away. They finished their jobs even. Amazingly, they are both okay. And i think brad said sorry, man. Yeah. Didnt mean to do that. All right. Natalie, thank you so much. Weve got dylan here for al this morning. What is the weather story . Out west, hot, dry, breezy. Because of that, conditions are rite for the fires to spread. We had a lot of thunderstorms out in california with the lightning and not the rain. So that triggers a lot of those fires.

Nice to have you along on monday morning. Whats making headlines this morning. Thousands of homes are being evacuated by a wildfire north of San Francisco. 24 homes already destroyed. Its one of at least 20 large fires burning across the state. And an intense storm is being blamed for a deadly tent collapse at a festival near chicago. A 35yearold man was killed when he was hit by flying debris, and 15 others had to be treated at area hospitals. And an investigation is under way to find whoever planted explosives outside two churches in las cruces, new mexico. The blast caused minor damage to buildings but no injuries reported. Well begin this half hour with another american under fire this morning, accused of hunting and killing a lion in africa. Willie is here with the latest on all of this. Good morning. Good morning, savannah. Good morning, guys. The death of cecil the lion has ignited controversy around the world. The doctor behind it now in hiding. And wildfire officials in zimbabwe are now claiming another doctor, this one from pennsylvania, has killed a lion illegally. According to a statement by Zimbabwe National parks, jan seski illegally killed a lion during a hunt in april. His guide, who since has been arrested and is cooperating with authorities, hunteded without a quote or permit. Seski appears in several photos online with other trophy killings, including with an elephant. He could not be reached for comment and there was no answer at his house. Seski is the second american doctor accused of killing a lion illegally in a week, following the death of the famed lion, cecil. Zimbabwe is seeing the extradition of walter palmer, the minnesota dentist accused in the death. Palmer has not been seen. He stated, to his knowledge, everything about this trip was legal and properly handled and conducted. Over the weekend, a tribute to cecil was projected on to the empire state building. On sunday, cecils brother, jericho, was confirmed to be alive after false reports surfaced that he too had been killed. A field researcher snapped a photo of him sunday morning. Things are going to be hard for him, but hes a mature lion, hes 11 years old himself. Reporter the two lion killings are sparking a heated debate over the practice of big game hunting, both illegal and legal. Two avid hunters from idaho are among those drawing backlash online after posting photos of their legal kills, like this giraffe. Some commenters calling one of the hunters human garbage and far worse for killing a giraffe. The hunter previously has fanned the flames, posting a meme challenging her critics to stay tuned. Youre going to have so much more to be upset about. Officials in zimbabwe have promised to crack down on illegal hunting in the area, and just this morning, all hunts of lions, leopards and elephants are being suspended near the National Park where cecil the lion was killed. Carson . Willie, thank you. Sabrina and Aaron Nielson who posted those photos of their african hunting trip are now with us via facetime from south africa. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Good morning. Sabrina, let me start with you so we understand the time line here. When you posted those photos to your facebook feed, were you aware of the story of dr. Palmer and cecil the lion in zimbabwe . I think it happened about the same time. I think i heard about it the day after that i got my giraffe. Reporter and just to be clear, what you are doing in south africa is totally legal. Let me ask you a question. If dr. Palmer is charged with taking part in an illegal hunt in zimbabwe, do you support him being extradited back there to face justice . You know, aaron is the one to talk about it the lion issue. He has followed it a lot closer than i have. Whats your opinion . Well, look, i would say this. I would say if the man is, in fact, charged with a crime, i think its something to consider. But i also believe that when a hunter when a foreign hunter travels to a foreign country, he is at the discretion of the guide and outfitter that he puts his trust in. And so to start charging foreign people under crimes like this in a place where he likely was completely unaware of most of the circumstances, i think would be a very slippery slope. All right. Let me point out what you guys are doing in south africa is entirely legal. The South African government is aware. Sabrina, i think it was your posting about killing the giraffe that made most people angry. A giraffe sunday a predator, its a planteater. And you wrote, quote, my emotion after getting him was a feeling i will never forget. Why did you put it just that way . Because its not just to me, its not just killing animal. Its the hunt, its there is a lot of personal things that happened in my life recently that has added to that, and i wont get into that or disclose those feelings. But when you when you hunt an animal, its not everybody just thinks were coldhearted killers. And its not that. Its there is a how do i want to describe it . There is a connection. There is a connection with the animal. And just because we hunt them doesnt mean we dont have a respect for them. But giraffes are very dangerous animals. They could hurt you seriously very quickly. Sabrina, there has been a lot of backlash on social media. You posted the photos seemingly taunting people with what you guys are doing in south africa. Somebody posted your job, the name of the president of the organization, where you work. Are you worried about some sort of retribution at work . Well, you know, i am in a way. But everything ive done, i have approved time off, ive been on vacation. And everything i have done here is legally. So how can you fault somebody because of their hobby . Youre always going to have employees that you dont agree with what they do on their spare time. But how can an employer chastise you for something you do on your personal time . Right. If its legally done. All right. Sabrina, aaron nielsen, thank you for your time this morning. Thank you. The images are stunning to look at, that is for sure. Well take a turn and get a check of the weather from ms. Dylan in for al today. How are you guys feeling about the heat . Okay. Lots of it this weekend. But not for long. I know. We are going to see the humidity build back in today so your low 90s will feel like low to mid 90s across the northeast. If you like it, enjoy it while you can for the next couple of days. Because by the end of the week, temperatures are really going to start to drop. Down south, thats where the humidity is much, much higher. Your feelslike temperatures are over 100 degrees in memphis, down near jackson, mississippi, 102 is your feelslike temperature for today. We have this dip in the jet stream, though, thats going to Start Building by wednesday and then into thursday and friday. Temperatures will struggle to even get out of the 70s in chicago. 78 degrees by friday. Cleveland only in the mid 70s by the middle and end of the week. In the northeast, well drop down into the upper 70s for thursday and friday. So that will feel much cooler than how it has been. Even washington, d. C. , 78 degrees by friday. Today, though, it is still warm across most of the country and we do have a slight risk of stronger storms today, especially later on this evening in the eastern great lakes and interior northeast. Good monday morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Were in the mid60s right now with a lot of low clouds. It will be clearing out as we go through the day. A high of 73 degrees going to be expected in the east bay. In San Francisco, 68 degrees and in the north bay, 83. Also, 83 in the south bay, trivalley will also be in the low to mid80s. The peninsula will see highs reaching 78 degrees. A warming trend will be with us as we go through the workweek. Have a great day. And thats your latest forecast. All right, dylan. Thank you so much. Coming up, okay, this is a strange one. Would you help an animal with his head stuck in a container . What if that animal was a skunk . One Police Officers very unusual day at the office. Plus, a rossen report exclusive. Coming up, a new crackdown on these toy guns. Can police tell the difference between this and the real gun . The bold new experiment when i try to pull this out on a co youre unpacking already . Yeah, help me find some mugs. Sure. beep hey. O. K. Theyll do. Wake up to the mountain grown aroma of folgers. The best part of wakin up so, where do you want to start . I think this is a pretty good place. Is folgers in your cup after a dvt blood clot. Mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. To you, theyre more than just a pet. So protect them. With k9 advantix® ii. Its broadspectrum protection kills fleas, ticks and mosquitoes too. K9 advantix® ii. For the love of dog™. Yoso why treat yourf mouth any differently.

To the dodge ball bruisers, to the team rally cruisers, to the touchdown dancers, and the Long Distance chancers, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah be yourself. Kohls were back with the rossen reports exclusive. This morning, the new crackdown on toy guns that Officials Say look far too real and puts lives in danger. Jeff rossen has this story. Good morning. Savannah, good morning to you. Police say they see kids with these toy guns all of the time. But in the heat of the moment or darkness of night, cops cannot tell its a toy. It looks like a real gun, as you can see. And theyre easy to get, sold at this countrys biggest retailers. This morning, officials here in new york are taking action, punishing some of those retailers, and banning these toy guns that look real. If youre thinking, look, theyre just toys, whats the big deal, check this out. Hey, whats going on . Reporter im facetoface with police. Drop the weapon reporter is my gun real or just a toy . Let me see your hands reporter in this demo, they only have a second to decide. What would you have done just now . Shot you. I actually pulled the trigger. Reporter police say toy guns like this confused for real guns on the streets. Even used in real crimes to scare victims. We have had 63 people shot in new york because Law Enforcement officers thought the toy gun was a real gun. Eight fatalities. Thats not acceptable. That shouldnt be acceptable to anyone. Reporter so today new York Attorney general Eric Schneiderman reaching a landmark settlement with some of the countrys largest retailers, including kmart, walmart. Com and amazon, fining them for selling toy guns that look real, and getting them to agree to stop selling them statewide. This is one of the toy guns youve been talking about. And it does look like a real gun from here. It has an orange point on the end, so this meets the federal standard, but this would be illegal in new york. What we do in new york city is require that the entire gun be brightly colored. This is an example of a gun under our agreements with these companies you could sell in new york. No one is going to hand over their wallet because theyre getting held up with this. And no Police Officer is ever going to mistake this for a real gun and shoot someone in a tragic incident. Reporter but even with this new settlement, we were still able to go online and buy the real looking toy guns. Getting them shipped to other states, including michigan, arizona and new jersey. Where its still legal. So how dangerous can these toys be . We set off a bold experiment with the rochester police, bringing out officers one at a time. We dont tell them why theyre here or whats about to happen. Just to react. Theyre using training guns, so i stay safe. Just so you know whats about to happen, im holding one of those toy guns in my hand now and we know its a toy gun because it has this orange cap on it.

Every manmade item that washes ashore in one corner of the indian ocean is being examined for possible ties to missing Malaysia Flight 370. Bill neely is on reunion island where the discovery of an airplane part last week touched off the search. Bill, good morning. Good morning from a stormy coastline that will make any new searches here very difficult. The hunt for debris, though, has widened from this island with an alert right now across this part of the indian ocean. The coast of reunion is long and now all the countries and islands in this part of the indian ocean are being asked to look out for debry. Searching more than 4,000 miles of coastline. Police have been giving Police Objects that they found on beaches, but none of them is related to the missing plane. The beaches here are littered with metal and rusting junk. Any debris from mh370 will now have scattered across a vast area. Its an enormous span and there isnt very debris any more because a lot of it probably has sunken down so were really searching for a needle in a haystack here. Reporter the aircraft part that has been found a wing flap from a boeing 777. A suitcase found nearby will be analyzed to try to match it to the dna of the missing passengers and crew. For their relatives like steve wang who lost his mother, its another agonizing delay. We can only wait for the final results because it takes time. Reporter it may be late this week before we know if the debris found is from the missing plane. Well, there is quite a storm here, the ocean very rough. You can see how any aircraft debris could easily get smashed up or sink. Local people, though, hoping that these currents, these huge swells will bring more debris on to the beaches here.

A Police Officer in michigan spotted this baby skunk running in circles blinded by that yogurt cup. The brave officer then carefully removed the container and then did what he had to do. Jump away, possibly not aware that the baby skunk cant spray like adults do. But i think we would all have the same reaction. Get out of there as fast as you can. Back over to you, savannah. All right, natalie, yeah, take no chances. A popular brand of sunscreen is feeling the heat from some consumers this morning and sheeinelle jones has that story. Reporter many people use the products because they dont want harmful chemicals but are they sacrificing the effectiveness of the product . Known for their safe and ecofriendly products. We created the Honest Company because we had to. Reporter the Honest Company cofounded by jessica alba is now under fire from some customers claiming the brands sunscreen has failed them from the scorching rays. Angry customers taking to twitter, posting pictures of themselves showing serious sunburns after using the product. Described on the companys site as an spf 30 sunscreen having Broad Spectrum protection. Products amazon page claims it does not work and warns others to not use. Mom greta stabler said as she bought the sunscreen on a recent trip to costco. I trusted the brand and i trusted the product. Reporter the results . After applying it early and often as directed, she said she got really burned on her shoulders, her arms, her legs and her face. So she was burned everywhere. I was very angry. Reporter the possible reason for the negative feedback could be attributed to a recent change of ingredients. Our nbc chicago station reporting just this year the company dropped the amount of zinc oxide from 20 to 9. 3 . To put it in perspective, a majority of other sunscreens contain around 18 to 25 . When it removed the zinc it did add other ingredients to keep it effective. The Honest Company said after the product was tested by a third party, the results show that our product is effective and safe for use as an 80minute water resistant fdas highest rating spf 30 sunscreen lotion. In accordance with fda regulations when used as directed. Adding that the number of complaints received on our own website about our sunscreen lotion constitute less 0. 5 of 1 of all units actually sold at honest. Com. All natural isnt necessarily good and chemical isnt necessarily bad. Although not all reviews are unfavorable. More than 100 complaints online. The company says, they stand behind the safety and efficacy of this product. Savannah . Thank you. What should you be looking for in a sunscreen dr. Deborah wattenbering is a Board Certified here in new york. Good morning. Good morning. We dont want people to take away from this the natural sunscreens dont work as well unless thats what youre saying. Should you be worried about that . Absolutely not. Theyre actually great products, which deflect the sun and theyve been around for years and theyre safe and theyre effective. What happened with this particular product only a chemist is going to be able to tell us if it became deactivated and not enough product in there and they need to do testing and try to figure that out. That is interesting because some reports that perhaps the company has lowered its formula and less zinc in some formuleses. Is that alone an issue . Not just see zinc but how much is in it . If they want a chemical free sunscreen they should use one with zinc and if you dont have issues with your skin and not particularly sensitive you should use some of the other products that contain some of those other products that are available. So, whats your bottom line sph. The bottom line is that all natural is not necessarily better. Organic is not necessarily better and those are often just labels that are on the products in order to help sell the product. A natural product should be something that is plant derived and organic product is certified by the usda. But you have to be sure that its a better ingredient. Synthetic products could be just as good. Thank you, appreciate it. Coming up next on trending who needs a surf board . The rider taking on big waves on a dirt bike.

Ill give it back. Two major retailers plan to partially cover it up. Rite aid and food lion say theyre doing it not because of the cover photo but because of the often racy cover headlines. Weve all seen them like 151 ways to make him go wow. Stuff like that. Retailers want to keep blurbs like that they dont want the minors to see it. Of at the checkout counter, what youre going to see now is what you see on the left. So they leave the cleavage. Wow. This will increase the sales of this magazine if they do that. Thats so funny. I just thought it would be a blinder that covers up the whole thing. I think it makes your eye go right to thats not under a lock and key. I mean, could just pull it out. I guess its just so the kids arent saying, hey, mommy, what does this mean . I think they might want to take the language and dial it back a bit. This one says a few things you okay, page 151. Let me see it. I did, exactly. This was a revolutionary magazine for women. On the cover three times. One, two, three. I think thats exactly why. But they leave the boobs, which is interesting. Where are you on the personality spectrum . Most people tend to think of themselves as introverts or ex tree averts. One group you dont hear about the ambiaverts. Theyre in the middle. These are the people who have the best of both worlds. Theyre socially flexible. Theyre comfortable being around people. Theyre comfortable being alone, even tempered. You know when to talk, you know when to listen. Youre perfect. Ooh. Im just listening to you say that. I was talking. Now i know when to listen. So ill throw it out to you guys. I like that there is another category. I would never call myself an introve introvert. But im not totally ex tree averted. I like to be alone. What do you think . Im the same way. Im fine being alone or with people. Same. Okay. Were all boring. Now to some crazy video. A lot of people are saying how do they even do this . Check out stunt rider robbie maddison.

Now to tom cruise and another Mission Accomplished and the epic mashup you just must see. Carson. All right. Lets get to it. Lets start with Mission Impossible cruising to the top of the box office. Yeah. Shout out to wesley. Tom cruise and rogue nation scoring 56 million. Its been nearly 20 years since the first movie came out. That is very good news. The bad news, that went to the vacation movie remake, the foulmouthed comedy finished second but only made a disappointing 15 million. All right now to the latest on the ghostbusters movie. Patients at Tufts Medical Center in boston knew it was filming nearby so they put a sign up in the window that said who you gonna call and the ladies answered and did the right thing. They showed up and in full costume. Bringing smiles to all the patients. They even checked under their beds to make sure no ghosts were around. Cute. Very cool. Finally, if youve been waiting for uptown funk to be sung by hundreds of movies, well today is your lucky day. Take a look. Wow. Amazing thats a mashup that took three months to make. It includes 280 movies, everything from the Breakfast Club to pulp fiction. That is good. A lot of time. Labor. Locked themselves in a little edit bay. All right. Dylan has a check of the weather. Yes, we have a lot of rain down through florida, where weve actually had this little disturbance off the west coast of florida that is being investigated as it could possibly become a tropical system. Its not likely, but it is Still Producing a lot of rain. Weve had several reports of flooding down near tampa. We also have a line of storms moving through southern ohio right now. Well see some more storms fire up later on this afternoon. It is hot down south, and humid too. Temperatures well above 100 degrees when you factor in that humidity in the northeast. Its going to remain warm today. A little cooler through the rockies in the 60s and in the southwest temperatures up around 110 degrees or so. Today we are looking at a slight risk of stronger storms across the eastern great lakes and interior northeast. We could see large hail, isolating damaging wind gusts and a tornado or two is possible in this area in yellow from kentucky right up into northwestern new england. Good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Today will be slightly cooler than average, especially for the inland valleys. A high of 82 degrees today in los gatos. And in san mateo, 75 degrees.

It is cosmetic surgery on our summer Series Summer of secrets. Well look at the latest treatments, how some are helping our veterans and the perils of procedures gone wrong. Andrea canning is here to get us started. Good morning. If you stick around, ill tell you what ive had done, as well. Meantime, people all around us are having work done, from the school dropoff to the workplace. Its becoming less of a secret, and more common place for women and men. And today there seems to be something for everyone and every body part, whether you want a subtle change or a big one. Jay los glow. Kate hudsons tummy. Theyre the most envied looks in the world. Top culture and celebrities, are they driving your need to have bigger lips . Now that its more of a trend now with die will he jenner and her lips, i wanted them even more. Reporter whatever you want to change, there seems to be an injectable, chemical, scalpel or laser to achieve it. And the 12 billion business is showing no signs of slowing down. Recent cover of Time Magazine declared nip tuck or else. You stand out more now if you dont have it. Right. The people who arent doing it are going to become, you know, a little bit more obvious. Reporter so whats in and whats out these days. We asked dr. Jennifer levine. Whats hot with butts . Bigger, fuller, higher. Boobs. Smaller and more natural. Lips. Full. Face . Not too tight. Time even broke down the most popular procedures by region. In the northeast, nose jobs rule. Southeast, liposuction. And in the south, the west, and the midwest, its all about the cup size. But not ready to take the permanent plunge just yet . Dr. Norman roe created the instabreast. He injects saline right into the body, building a fuller breasts that lasts just 24 hours. This is like testdriving a ferrari. Thats exactly what it is. Its kind of like try before you buy. Ive always been curious about how i would look with actual permanent breast implants. In 20 minutes, sheena went from an a to a c cup. It feels like just a little squishy, like i said, natural. And not too overwhelming. Reporter one of the biggest trends doctors are seeing is younger patients. Kathryn fagen opted for botox at just 25. You dont have any wrinkles, barely. I kind of want to prevent the small lines that are forming. Reporter Kristen Ingersoll started treatments in her early 30s to ward off aging in her late 40s and beyond. Trying everything from botox to alt therapy which uses sound waves to build collagen. Its just like the apple, we put the lemon it to try and keep it from getting brown. So im trying to find a way to just stay as fresh as possible. I hear you. As a 42yearold mom of five girls, ive made the choice to try some procedures too. Started in my early 30s with a little botox and i also just tried alt therapy, the procedure that you just saw on the piece. Its the only fdaapproved procedure to lift, tighten and tone skin using ultrasound. And carson, this is where youre supposed to announce to the world that i look like im about 25. You do. Why did you start in your 30s . Was that sort of preventative to reverse aging for later . It really was. I was thinking ahead. Also, i do have lines in my forehead that i dont love. So it just instantly theyre gone. So it felt like such a nice, quick fix. And i really was thinking down the road. Because here i am, now i started in my early 30s, and here i am now 42. So it creeps up on you fast. Well, you look great, andrea. Lets bring in sara ecenberger. Good to have you here. Absolutely. This is obviously a very personal decision, the idea of going under the knife for Plastic Surgery in general, is that right . Its different for everybody. Exactly. And its a personal choice. Some may choose to age gracefully and love the wrinkles that give you the experience. Some may want to take away some years. Lets walk through some of the decades. In your 20s and 30s, you think you have nothing to worry about. Right. This is when prevention is key here. So what youre going to do is use different fillers, different injectables, which are really going to slow the aging process down. And so what an injectable is, you use around the eye area, the forehead area, and thats going to constrict the muscle movement. So youre going to slow down the aging process. Where fillers are exactly just that. Theyre going to fill in the hollows or fine lines and wrinkles. So you see that last under eye circles and also the nasal labial fold. Is there a lot of 20 and 30yearolds having fillers and injectables. Yes, because it prevents wrinkles from forming on your skin. Wow. Moving down the line here. So working into your 40s, this is the age where you start to see aging first appear. It could be lifestyle related. A lot of people, if applicable, after you have children, you start to see things change. So what youre going to do here is in your 40s, two Different Things will happen. Your face is going to lose fat, where your body gains fat and it stores pockets of fat, as well. So for your face, youll do injectables, especially the nasal labial folds, as you lose fat and start to lose that form. And it really gets deep. So injectables to use that. And fat transfers, which is interesting, because you take fat from your body, like your thighs or your stomach, places you dont want it. And do a lino suction and move it somewhere else. Then it fills in the hollows. Liposuction, the more traditional method to help to shape and contour the body. And different skin tightners, an Ultrasound Technology to firm the skin. And lasers, a magic wand of light therapy. A lot of options in the 40s. 50plus is where you really start to see the aging take effect. This is where your skin starts to sag. Your best solution for those looking for more extreme results are your face lifts. And its not the facelift of yesteryear that had a tight, pulled look. Its actually going to be more about reconturing the skin and working with the muscles and tissue and then neck for the jowls. Thank you so much. Well have much more on this, of course. Fantastic forecastim. Our ug good morning. Its 8 26. Im sam brock. Two breaking news stories. Oakland police saying more about a deadly shootout this morning that left an officer hospitalized.

Were looking at an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain likely today, perhaps even some areas picking up 3 to 6 inches. So flooding still a major concern down there. We also have a slight risk of stronger storms across the eastern great lakes and the interior northeast. Hail, damaging winds, cant rule out a tornado. Those are all possible today. But that front will eventually start to Cool Temperatures down as we go into the middle and end of the week. Also looking at a chance of some monsoonal moisture in the southwest. Finally, were starting to see things cool off in the northwest, though. And i see youre turning 12 today. Where are you from . Florida. Florida, where its raining. But youre up here where its nice and sunny. So you nailed your birthday th good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Its in the mid60s across the bay. We still have the clouds that will slowly clear out as we go through the rest of the morning. And todays highs will be slightly cooler than average for especially the inland areas. The peninsula will be 78 degrees. 72 degrees in the east bay. In the trivalley, expect a high of 84 degrees with mostly sunny skies. North bay, 83 degrees. San francisco, some sun and clouds. A high of 68 degrees and 83 in the south bay. And i love finding bucket lists on the plaza. You visited new york, you checked out the today show live. Thats happening right now. And now youre officially on national tv. Yay so we will give you a big check on that one too. Woo and there you have it. Savannah . All right, dylan, thank you so much. We are so happy to have hollywood royalty in studio 1a. The very great and beautiful meryl streep. Over the last four decades, she has proven she can take on any role with versatility that is unmatched, winning oscars for her roles in cramer versus cramer sophies choice and iron lady. 19 nominations to her name. And in her new movie ricky and the flash plays the rocker mom of her reallife daughter. Take a look. But no one stood in my way and no one asked me to stay i like you youre not like me meryl streep, good morning. Do you like watching that . Yeah. First of all, i feel i should check your hands for calluses. You actually learned to play guitar. Theyre gone. Ive been an opera singer for five months now. Meryl streep goes to all these Great Lengths to get into the role, but learning guitar in a matter of a few months has to be one of the biggest things youve taken on. Whoa. More confused, yeah. Yeah. It was a challenge, but, you know, i was working with some great musicians. Rick springfield, joe vitale. Theyre veterans of our business. They have been i mean, theyre extraordinary musicians. The so i felt like in this to respect them, i had to do my best to learn. And just in case people think this is learning c, d and g and theyll just cut around it, you actually did live performances. Yeah, we did. We did do live performances. And that was Jonathan Demi, who is a great musiclover. And he has a little almost theory of authenticity. It has to really happen. It has to really happen in front of you. And so we performed in a little fake club in the docks in brooklyn. And we would play and for the movie and the extras would say, man, i wish this was a real club, i would come here. And there are several songs we hear you sing. You have that great raspy kind of bonnie raitt voice we just heard on tape. And you play in what the wall street journal calls genetically perfect casting, across from your daughter mamie gummer. She plays your daughter in the movie as well. What was that like, because you have some very intense scenes with her. She is very mad at you in this movie. Well, thats happened before. And i dont know where she pulled it up from, but she really enjoyed railing at me. And i think they would all like to do a movie with me. Work out some issues . But actually, you know, were very close. And it was and she is nothing like julie and im really nothing like ricky. So it was it was acting. Yeah. You know . And shes really good. And so, you know, i was really proud of her. You must be. I was going to say, this is not your first scene with your daughter. We actually have some video of your very first scene with ms. Mamie gummer. You do . Circa i think she must have been the age of 1 or so there. There you are. She was playing 1. But she was very good. We could see then she had the bug. Did you encourage her to go into the profession . Did you have any choice in the matter . You have children, right . You dont have a choice much. I mean, yes, i was i was very thrilled that she and her sister grace both want to be actresses. And are actresses. And are going to support me in my old age. And i no longer do it. Lways been sort of dramatic. I dont think ill get in trouble with her for saying that. But shes always been fierce and fearless, and had no trouble expressing her feelings. And thats sort of the job description. For an actor. The director, Jonathan Demi also told you guys not to talk to each other onset to try to keep the tension real. How did that work out . That worked for about a week. Youre very close. Well, we pretended not to talk to each other onset, but we rode home every night in the car. Meryl streep, its always great to see you. Great to see you. Thank you. Very fine movie ricky and the flash opens on friday and she is amazing. Coming up, the cast of fantastic four. And next, todays next big thing.

Have you ever watched qvc and thought i have this great invention, if only i could get it on there . Well, heres your chance. You are looking at some of the bestselling products ever sold on qvc.

There are seven dressing rooms where guests prepare for their segments. How would you describe coming here . Organized chaos. Now, amanda has taken medium blue, and we popped it with a color. What do you think is the biggest thing that people wouldnt know about qvc . That its live and not rehearsed and not scripted. Thats right. Qvc is live 24 7. No commercial breaks, no scripts, no cue cards or teleprompter. The only real prep work is a brief conversation with the show hosts, moments before air. So how about well show them the choices in colors and go through the size choice and then i think we should tie it right away. Remembering any detail is an impressive feat, because there are over 300,000 products currently being sold. And samples of every single product, past or present, are all stored here at product central. For example, christmas lights, sunglasses, even a pony. Each product is featured for roughly six minutes. And on qvc, thats more than enough time. When the late joan rivers debuted these sequin scarves, 88,000 were sold that very same day. Once on the air, every minute counts, with the help of a producer giving you secondbysecond feedback in your ear. We started with 1,600. We brought in 1,600. 600 remain. Just 600 to go around.

You have this line, and having it on qvc, really ups the sales, right . This gives our viewers the chance who have a product out there to really make it big, who dont have the opportunity.

It takes a look at the superheroes before they got their special powers, and it all starts with a trip to another dimension. All right, gentlemen. Hands and feet must remain inside the ride at all times. You need to come to the lab. Dont blow up. Dont blow up. Oh, yeah, thats what i want to hear before going into another dimension. 3, 2, 1. Dont do it fantastic four. Michael b. Jordan. Kate mara, jamie bell, good to see you guys. Every time a reporter or someone says, i love that show. I say, listen, there is great singers but there is an intangible between our fantastic four, our four coaches, when we put them in a room, something magical happens. That is exactly what i saw when i watched this movie last night. There is something very special about the four of you. Thank you. Thats really nice. We feel that way, too. Did you guys know each other before . People assume everyone in hollywood hang ought owl of the time. Yeah, well, we really got to know each other and kate and jamie have known each other a long time. It wasnt hard to build the chemistry. Did you feel the chemistry day one of shooting . We had a screen test together, the three of us. And that was just sort of the start of feeling how natural we all sort of vibed together, which was nice. Hugely important. Im sure it doesnt happen all of the time onset. No, sometimes you hate the people you work with. Shows how good of an actor you really are. Tell us the character and super power you have. Ben grim, also known as the thing. In this version of, hes really just a regular kid, directionless, in high school, one friend always gets him in trouble. But hes very loyal to this friend and protects him. And then he becomes something very different. Very cool. Kate . I play sue storm. And she is the sister of johnnie storm. She is pretty shy. Very smart and very passionate about science. And she becomes the invisible woman. Very cool. Johnnie storm. You know, little bit impatient, not really knowing exactly what path he wants to go down. Sometimes, you know, kids and teenagers, they dont do exactly what their parents expect of them, especially if its not as cool for them. So this accident happened and he kind of embraces the powers and there is kind of a sense of purpose. Maybe a little too much. I play reid richards, obviously extremely intelligent, super genius, and obsessed with youre so humble. Its reid richards. Were making a movie youre acting crazy. Reid richards, super genius, obsessed with dimensional travel and wants to invent the quantum gate. And very stretchy. Yes. The other part of the movie that is so good, for you guys, you act in different environments. This has to be tough with the special effects. The green screen, thats another part of what i think can save a movie like this, with so much special effects, the pure acting chops you all four have. Was that difficult, michael . The green screen, you have to trust the director, you have to trust that, you know, what youre doing, the movements youre doing is matching exactly what theyre going to put in post. So that was probably the hardest thing. But kate has to talk to you as youre on fire. Can you turn that thing off . Wait, youre on fire . Hes on fire. Youre on fire. Im on fire. Youre all on fire. Weenkts all on fire. Guys, its a great movie. I know there is a loyal fan base. When it comes out on friday, i know youre going to make them proud. Thank you. The movie fantastic four is out on friday. Coming up next, one year to rio. Natalie is cooking up a special brazilian treat. First, this is today on nbc. We are back at 8 53. You know that song. All this week on today food, celebrating the best of brazil. Because the 2016 summer olympics in rio de janeiro, just one year away. And natalie is going to tempt us with a traditional brazilian dish sure to be on the menu. And you know what im cooking, right . Because you know how to pronounce it. Feijoada. She took two years of portuguese. So you know the deal. And you know how to cook in brazilian style. It really is the National Dish of brazil, okay . It involves black beans and a whole lot of pork. In brazil, typically, there are things like pig ears and pig hooves. Were not going to do that. Of the i made it a little bit easier. I think more our american audience will like. Here we start with the black beans, dried black beans, bacon, pork shoulder, beef short rib, chorizo, onion, peppers, a lot of beef. Did i mention . And pork. Garlic, chicken stock. Ham hock. More pork. Wow. Weve got cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Meat and meat. How do we do the beans . Lets talk about the beans. We used dry beans, because this is a slowcooker recipe. The dry beans, by soaking it first overnight, it allows the beans to rehydrate. Now, there is a speed soak you can do, as well, if youre somebody who maybe didnt think to soak them overnight, which happens all of the time with me. What you can do is you can put them in a pot in hot water, or in water, boil it for two minutes, speed soak it, then by letting it sit in the pan of hot water for about an hour later. Okay . So were taking our beans, putting them in our slow cooker here. Are canned beans a nono . You can make canned beans, but theyll probably get mushy and fall apart. Heres a secret ingredient. Where do you get that . Anywhere. Any spanish food section, youll see it. So the beans are set in there. In the pan already, ive cooked two slices of bacon in this pan. You want to keep that bacon fat, its delicious, okay . And then we put our pork shoulder in there. Its already brown. Basically, were browning all our meat. So im going to put our pork in here. As you do that, im checking in with our taste tester. This is like pork palooza. It is. Okay. No hooves in here. No hooves, no ears. Were going to braise our short ribs. And we have a minute left. While these braise, i move over here to the short ribs. These short ribs into the pot. Wow. Its a lot of steps, as you see. But very worth it. Once you get everything in here once you get everything in the pot, then youre letting it sit for six hours. Meanwhile here im going to do some onions. You saute first. Saute the onions, keeping the fat in there. As i mentioned, not a light dish. People eat feijoada on saturdays, first of all, because its a labor of love. Then also saturday you can take a nap afterwards. Im thinking you go to church the next day and confess. Here we put our chicken stock. Okay . If you want the ham hock, its optional. Adds more smokiness and flavor. Okay. The chorizo. That is not optional. Sausage. Youre going to cover that up for me, my dear. Yep. Were going to get it going. Weve set it for six hours. So moving over here five seconds heres what it looks like, guim. Our update to breaking good morning. 8 56. Im sam brock. Our update to breaking news. Oakland police are saying more information now about a deadly shootout that happened this morning that left an officer hospitalized. The police chief provided an update about an hour ago.

So while i was gone i guess you started doing your own jams. I love this song. Yes. Here is one playing cheerleader by omi. Every time we stepped in the car, the kids had my phone and this song came on. Probably 50 times in five days we heard this song. My kids Favorite Song right now too. Song of the summer. You got a haircut. Your hair is so short on the side. I actually got it cut ten days ago before i went on vacation. Did you go to boot camp . High and tight, baby. This is grown out. Marine cut. Can we talk about im sorry to switch subjects. We didnt get a chance to talk about it. Natalie did a cooking segment at the end of the last hour. It was the most delicious meal the best that youve you prepare a lot of tasty things. Thats my favorite. Feijoada. Black beans and pork. Then she made a cocktail that was in front of the meal and i said oh, it must be lemonade. I did this and you took a big sip . Its like fire water. Whats in it its called fire water . Its basically the rum of brazil. So but its super powerful. My lips are numb. This is going to be a great hour. Everybody stay tuned. Whats in it . Whats in this . Whats in it is muddled limes and sugar and the rum. This is what well be drinking in rio next year . A lot of those. Keep it away from open flames. When i walked into the studio, tamron said here, take a sip. And i thought, like you, it was lemonade i didnt think it was that strong. Natalie . Mine let me try. This is like this runs through my veins. Yours is stronger. Need a floater on the top of this one. Right . Welcome back. This is how we welcome you back from vacation. Its going to be a good hour. Stay tuned. Keep the vacation rolling. Speaking of rolling, this robot, hitchbot. Oh. He was supposed to roll through the United States. Heres the story. Hitchbot was created, they said as a test of human kindness. To see if people would help this little thing hitchhiker robot. Travel aCross Country. So hitchbot rides through canada and parts of europe, including germany, no problem. Hitchbot was in the u. S. For only two weeks, he visited bostons fenway park, amazing, made his way through the big city of new york. Oh, good. The goal was to get to San Francisco. Beautiful, right . Come on, everyones goal should some point be to get to San Francisco. However radio city. Yes. On friday, though, hitchbot was found like this. Vandalized beyond repair in the city of brotherly love. Philadelphia. The creators say the experiment is not over. They tweeted, my trip must come to an end for now. But my love for humans will never fade. Makes me so sad when you see his arms ripped off and leg is off i know. Its like r2d2 found beat up. But i lived in philadelphia for four years. The only thing you need to know about philly, order your cheesesteak right. And dont have a cowboys logo on your vehicle. Its like im not letting you get gas. Troy aikman will tell you that as well. Thats it. So what did the robot do wrong . Philly, dont play to stereotypes. This is what people think youre going to do and then you do it. Amazing. I mean, they boo santa. Yeah, thats old. I love the whole social experiment of this. I mean, the fact they had gotten around europe and gone all over the place and then in the u. S. He made it through times square, which if you can make it through times squares with those creatures wanting you to take pictures. Fake elmo. Fake elmo and fake elpha. I hope they rebuild it and bring it back. Would you pick up pitch bottom . No, because i would think he was spying on me. I think now people will know so i think if hitchbot 2 comes around, this thing will travel the world. Its going to make it up to the iss. International space station, but couldnt make it through philly. People saw the video of this week of this Nascar Nascar driver Brad Keselowski made a dramatic pit stop during a race in pennsylvania yesterday. So take a look. He misses his mark and he barrels in to his crew members and sends a tire flying, as well. The tire carrier and the jack man were okay. In fact, they got right back up, tools in hand still and got right back on the job. But dedication. Yeah. Ive read that hes come in hot before in the past, so, you know, its clearly its a hard thing to do. Youve got to get in and get out as fast as you can. But yeah, but and thats a tight turn. But you dont want to take out the pit crew. He actually had trouble with his front left brake, i think, too, part of the problem. If you watch that full clip, though, its funny. He takes off and you can hear the mic in the car, and he goes sorry about that, fellas. Like he just ran over three guys. Sorry about that, fellas. Well take you out for beers after this. Banged up so they hopped right up. Loyal, dedicated. You guys like zoo lander the first one . How many years . 15, at least. 15 years. 2001. So were ready for the sequel. Yes, we are. And were getting our first look at the trailer, okay . Have some more drink for the trailer. If you say so. It opens with an amazing lecture on the great mysteries of the galaxy. The one question that has puzzled mankind since the beginning of time. If god exists, then why did he make ugly people . 200 lander . No, derek, zoo lander. Its like a pun. But i dont spell my name with a 2. Fine. How about zoo lander ii . No, zoolander 2 but with roman numerals. But im not italian. Zoolander ii february 12th, 2016. How do these movies ghost busters, visiting the hospital. Star wars next year. Theyre getting you ready. No one likes 2015 . Rio, next year. Its going to be a big year next year. The cliffhanger. All right. Lets get a check of the weather. From dylan, who is in for al this morning. Hello, dylan. Hey, guys. We are watching the pacific where we have a category 1 hurricane, winds up to 75 miles per hour. This is going to be an area of concern for the big island of hawaii. Now the storm is going to weaken as it makes its way over some cooler waters. So it is just going to be a tropical storm. But look how close it gets to helo and we are looking at the potential for flash flooding with some higher amounts. Also high surf and rip currents likely as that storm passes to the north of the big island. We also have a chance of storms today, especially up across new york, up into new england and stretching down into northeastern kentucky where we could see some stronger storms develop later on today. Well see some heavier rain, also the possibility of some hail and damaging wind gusts. Cant rule out an isolated tornado, but i think those would be few and far between. Also some moisture towards the rockies, typical monsoon. And in the northwest, temperatures coolin good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Were in the mid to upper 60s as we get the day started. Still some low clouds all across the bay, but well clear out as we go into the afternoon. In los gatos expect a high of 82. Palo alto 79. Outer sunset will be at 66 degrees. And also for the north bay highs in the 60s and 70s. 77 in santa rosa. 72 in oakland. And danville today expect a high of 79 degrees. We will get some more sunshine later on today.

When youre cutting it, the juice goes all over the board, all over the floor. Sure. So what youre going to do is take a knife and follow the natural angle of your wedge here and just cut right down just like that. You see . Right down to the rind. Thats a good idea. Oh, i see what youre doing. Super easy, exactly. And flip it around and do the exact same thing on the other side. Were just going to make a salad with it. And then face the watermelon toward you. Thats a great hack. And then all you do scoop it out into the bowl here. You see that . Thats brilliant. Perfect cubes. Very little juice on the board here. Very good. M okay.

And then youve just going to make vertical slices like this. Slice all the way down. And then what youre going to do is youre going to take a slice im going to take the middle one here. What you can see is, there is a vein of seeds. You see that . And just break it gently right on the sides just like that. And then what you can do is take a spoon or knife. And look at that. Get them all at once. Oops. There you go. A little bit of work. But at least youre not spitting seeds. Thats true. Okay. This is a perfect way to serve watermelon at a party for many reasons. One is, its really easy. So all you do is take a watermelon half and make vertical cuts like this and rotate it and do the exact same thing this way. Right. So youre getting that basket effect. So you get this grid. And this wedge. Exactly. Serve it at a party. And an awesome thing about this, you dont have the bugs so theyre not landing on your watermelon. Just like that. Cheers. Cheers. Watermelon. Now, this tip is to prevent all that sticky juice that gets on your face when eating a regular watermelon wedge.

Police officers train for a range of situations but sometimes you have to improvise. This michigan officer spotted this baby skunk running in circles with a yogurt cup stuck on his head. The officer carefully removed the cup, be then quickly backed away. Maybe he didnt realize baby skunks dont spray yet. But could you blame him . I think we all would do the same thing. Get out of there as fast as you can. Lets get a check of the weather now from dylan. Hey, natalie. Not sure he knew he was caught on camera either. Not clearly not. Lets take a look at the weather going on across the country where we do have some heavy rain down near florida. We have a slight risk of strong storms in the eastern great lakes and interior northeast. This extends down into kentucky where we will see large hail, damaging winds, but also the heavier downpours, and the frequent lightning too. This cold front is going to finally start to cool things off, both through the plains and also into the northeast by the time we get into wednesday, thursday and friday. In the meantime, were staying in the 80s and 90s for one more day across the northeast. Down south, it feels above 100 degrees when you factor in the humidity. Tomorrow we are looking at a chance of some storms right through the midwest and also some storms up and down the east coast. There could be an isolated severe storm or two, and the Pacific Northwest down in the lower 80s but it is hot and dry in the desert southwest. Thats a look at the weather across good monday morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. In many spots we can leave the air conditioner off with highs reaching into the 70s across most of the bay. San jose topping out at 76. But warming up to 85 degrees today in morgan hill. In santa rosa 77. 72 in oakland. And pleasanton a high of 78. In brentwood it will be hot with a high of 90 degrees, a lot of sunshine. While san rafael tops out at 70 degrees. And more warm weather as we head through the workweek. And thats your latest forecast. Willie and tamron . All right, dylan. Thank you very much. We are kicking off a special week on summer of secrets, all about Plastic Surgery. It is a 12 billion a year industry. And we have invited three Board Certified plastic surgeons here to answer your questions about different procedures. Dr. Michael jones, dr. Hida herman and dr. Steven davis. Before we get started, a reminder, always best to check with your primary care physician before making any serious decisions about your health. But meanwhile, good morning to all of you. Thank you so much. Good morning. So weve actually took to twitter, social media, the plaza for some questions. I want to get to the first one. Lets we have what is this irl makeup. Asks, i have bags under my eyes but im in my 30s. What options are there to fix this . Dr. Herman, what do you think . Thats the most common complaint i hear in my practice, actually. And bags can make you look tired. Is it hereditary . It is herred tear, absolutely, its genetic. And actually, its a young person with bags, its best to do earlier than later. And we now have surgical options with no scar and minimal downtime. The most important thing to realize, there could be some volume loss, hollowness. That can make you look tired as well. And now we have nonsurgical options to complement surgery to put it together in the right combination. One of my goals is to get aesthetic synergy, which is how to put surgical and nonsurgical options together in 2015 to get the best result. So even in your 30s, it can be a good idea for some people. Thats the one time if you have bags in your 30s you may want to think about surgery. Thats just going to get worse. We brought in some friends from the plaza to ask a few questions. Kenny from oklahoma is with us. I cant imagine a goodlooking guy like you would have any questions about Plastic Surgery. But try them. Oh. What is the success rate for liposuction in men over 50 . Well, wow, thats a great question. Liposuction for men over 50, its still a viable option. As we get older, our skin elasticity decreases. So its ideal to do liposuction at anywhere between 20 to 30, because your skin has enough recoil that it can snap back. As men, we tend to have a little thicker skin, a little better elasticity, so usually with women, at around 40, we start to say maybe liposuction isnt the best option but for men, it is still a viable option and can work well. Thanks, kenny. Appreciate it. Thank you. Next up, another one from sandy on twitter who wants to know, how do you know which doctor to trust . Thats the milliondollar question. Thats something that, you know, everybody really wants to know. Who is going to keep me looking the best and also keep me safe. And i think its very important to, you know, go by your friends and have understandings about that. Heres what i always say. Make sure that the doctor actually has privileges at a hospital to do the procedure that youre asking to have done. Because i think that in a lot of ways separates out people that are just doing a certain procedure in their own office from people that are actually doing it because they were Board Certified and trained in doing it. Well, people sometimes associate cost with being the best. But you see hollywood stars all of the time who have unlimited funds and they have, quote, unquote, bad work. How much of it is to do with your body type . The synergy, like you were saying, making sure the patient and the doctor are on the same page is key. I always have patients that come in my office and go i definitely dont want to look like this celebrity and they always say the same thing. Didnt they have enough money to go to a good one . I think sometimes that patient wanted that result. They may have gone to the doctor and said i want lips that look like that. I want to look this way. Really . Yes. So someone goes in and says i want to look like joker, because there are some people who end up looking like that. Thats why we have to actually, as the doctor, we have to say no to the patient or just make sure that they understand what theyre really asking for. Lets get another question from the plaza. Debby from california. Hi, debby. Hi, good morning. My question is, what is the least invasive treatment to make yourself look ten years younger. Do you want to take that one . Yes, thats an excellent question. We have so many exciting new technologies. The least invasive treatments are injectables and muscle relaxants and treatments for the surface of your skin, obviously. More luminesce your skin is, the better you look. The most important thing to keep in mind, you want to look like yourself, no matter what you do. You dont want to change your looks. And number two, you want to make sure there is someone who really pays attention to where and how much of the material to put in, in the right place, so the aesthetic planning has to be really proportionate and follow your anatomy to bring out whats unique in your face. Wow. Great answers, doctor. Thank you so much. Looking flawless. Up next, the tricks designers use to give your home an upscale look, making saving secrets moneysaving secrets.

Well, we all wish we could just redecorate other homes without worrying about the cost. But since thats not the case for us, were going to show you how to get that designer look without the high price tag. Here to divulge some decorator secrets is lori deinard. Good morning. Hi. How are you doing . Great. Youve got some great tips and we have broken them down to different parts of the home. We start out with the area rug, which can be a fortune, depending on the size you need. Yes, exactly. Lets say you found an area rug you love but its designer. Those rugs cost thousands of dollars. This is a way to get the same look at a fraction of the price. Okay. What do we do . What you could do is go and buy that designer rug but really, really small. Like a runner size or a 3 x 5 size. And then you get a woven sea grass rug, and tamron, if you can do that with me. So you get a woven sea grass rug underneath from retailers like overstock. Com, wayfair. Com. And this is what it looks like in a room. So you still get that expensive designer look but for affordable prices. That looks great. Lets come over here and pillows, and they can be so expensive. So expensive. You found a way to do this for a lot less. Yes, exactly. I went online, went to the clearance section, got a little bit overa yard of fabric for literally 6. If you want to do this with me. You call this pillow origami. Origami for pillows. You fold just like this and then you take the ends, just like this. Almost like swad willing a baby. And then at home, you can iron the creases to make it look really polished tie it up. You are doing a great job. Tuck in the ends. And then i do the designer karate chop at the end which likes it look and you cant even tell. I was stunned by how much the throw pillows cost. Thats smart. And a project i can do. You did great. Lamps and you say that it may just be about our shade. Exactly. So these are discount Bargain Basement lamps. And you know what, you cant tell from the base. This could be a 400 lamp but the giveaway is the shade. So if the shade is super inexpensive, it can look inexpensive. So we swap out the shade . And actually, do you mind no, not at all. What i did is i went on to google, you know, custom lamp shades. This is from an etsy shop. Look at this look. Super cute. This could be a 400 lamp. You would never know. So you just do a Little Research and find the right shade. Very nice. Lets talk about furniture. And the legs of furniture can be a tellall, if its a cheaply made piece. So much Discount Furniture has the same boring leg. Here is a before. So what i did is just swapped out the furniture legs. This is a really classy look. Again, you can just google replacement furniture legs. But these are from pretty pegs. Com. Look at that. Yeah. And look at this. With the gold. Very chic. And then here i have an upholstered stool with the pink legs on the bottom for a kids room. The idea is to make your discount stuff look custom. What about wall art that can also cost a fortune . Even if you buy art on a discount site, the shipping ends up costing a lot. So area rugs is a great inexpensive way to get wall art on your walls. This is from homegoods. Com. You can find stuff on overstock, really small area rugs very, very inexpensive. So these are called upholstery nails. Put them up every inch or so. On the bottom, i put some self adhesive velcro to make sure the rug stays. Great ideas. Lori, thank you so much. Great ideas, as always. Next, do you find it hard to relax and unplug, even when youre on vacation . You might have what they call career i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Looki had the whitest smile.

Weve heard of ocd, but there is a new compulsive disorder affecting far too many of us, ccd, career compulsive disorder. According to a survey conducted by Harvard Business review, half of professionals put in a 65hour workweek and check work emails on the weekend. Sounds familiar. Where do you fall on the ccd spectrum . Sasha is Deputy Editor of Womens Health magazine, and we have the author of your next big thing. Good morning to you both. Sasha, start with you. This is a real thing. Career compulsive disorder. Actual condition. It is. This is a term we coined at Womens Health. Its a new work phenomenon. Not just the old workaholics. This is about work creeping into every aspect of your life. And the twist is, that you can get hooked on a very behavior thats burning you out. So its sort of a vicious cycle. And ben, you say this is practically lethal. You say its a wakeup call for all of us. Its harmful to our physical health, our emotional health, to our relationships. Its really something that is fraying many of our social ties throughout our country. So obviously people are home wondering, do they have this disorder or condition. You created a survey, sasha, and people can take the quiz, and there are varying degrees of ccd. Absolutely. Now, everyone who takes the quiz on our website is able to see where they fall. Because youre right. A lot of people are sort of like, do i have it, do i not. Chances are, if youre a hard worker you probably do. I know you guys all took the quiz. And you all fell within our militants middle category. That is our warning category. Failed. So youre not fullblown ccd. But i know willie, you in particular were kind of up there. So your job is sort of starting to take over your life so you want to take some steps back. But can you succeed without a little bit of this or a lot of ccd . It seems to me if you want to make it in this world, youve got to put in, you know, what do they say, 110 . I think its about balance. You know, you have to live your values in some ways. Yes, we have to work hard in order to do well. But its also important to have boundaries. So, for example, at the end of a workday, if i need to do patient notes, i will leave an alarm so i know when its time to leave to go home, so that i can be with my kids. Just to give an idea of some of the questions and areas we struggled with. At any one moment, im on the phone, checking my in box, updating my to do list, instant messaging, et cetera. Also we struggle with, i feel guilty if i dont reply to work email asap. The question is, sasha, how do we start scaling back . You say the key is to start small. Start small. Schedule a workout class. Schedule a dinner with a friend and then stick to it. Here is the mantra, do not cancel. Repeat that in your head. At work, you can start small. We started a lean into Lunch Initiative at Womens Health. Everyone takes half an hour, maybe more, and gets out there. Does not eat at their desk. So ben, this is good in theory, but if i get an email from work and there is an expectation im going to reply to get business done, how do i not send that e. Nail . Its a question of what is truly an emergency. I think because we think we have access all of the time that we think that everything is an emergency. Take a beat and say, is this really an emergency . Do they really need to know this information right now. Wow. Thats a great point. Sasha, ben, thank you. This is really fascinating.
