Its not that unique, theyre passing on the cost to customers, but theyre telling the customers the oasis cafe is including a minimum wage fee on bills. You see it on the bill. Totals 35 cents. Now complaints are piling up on the cafes facebook page. One man says if you cant afford to pay the employees, you shouldnt be in business. The cafes owner says this wage hike is going to cost them 10,000 a year, this is their way to protest it, not only by passing on the cost which happens a lot in business, but telling the customers is probably the unusual move, there. Id rather not know. Get your 35 cents and dont tell me. They could probably have done it another way without letting you know. Without clearly stating it on the bill. All companies do it, but they dont necessarily say or if you say a prayer, you get maybe 50 cents off. That was in north carolina. The burger was 8. 00. Thats not cheap. To be continued on that debate. First, the cover of a much beloved book is getting a makeover, some are calling it terrifying. Can you guess the book . Its not valley of the dolls or lolita. Believe it or not, its a childrens book. Any guesses out . No idea. This is the new cover for charlie and the chocolate factory. What . we assume thats supposed to be veruca salt, one of the main characters. That has to be veruca. That is creepy. Two questions, where is charlie . Wheres the chocolate . Exactly. Thats the entire cover . Willie wonka. Apparently theyre releasing the cover to celebrate the books 50th anniversary. The image looks at the children at the center of the story and highlights the way the writing manages to embrace both the light and the dark. Ill say in this case the very dark. Its creepy. Lets put candy on the cover and chocolate and willy wonka. Or charlie. Charlie. Lets not have anybody buy the book theres an idea. Lets make it really obnoxious and nobody will buy it. What a celebration. All right, so a bear walks into a backyard this is not a joke. Actually this is what weve been seeing allegedly in a suburban new jersey neighborhood. Residents are capturing videos of this bear walking upright like a human. Do you think this is real . Yes. Orangeroom. Real bear . Fake bear . Thats what i think. I think its a guy in a costume. Who goes around the neighborhood in a bear costume . Jimmy kimmel. I dont no. Some residents say perhaps the bear is walking so upright they do do that, but perhaps because its paws are wounded. Hey, guys, whats up . Theres a bear walking upright. Its not so uncommon. You see it from time to time. Hes got pants on. There you go. Man. The video of smoky. He gets into a car and drove off. That is trending today. Coming up, the dude, jeff bridges and will arnett. Were back in 30 seconds. Back with the latest were back with the latest controversy tied to body image triggered by a new ad from gap. Here is nbcs Janet Shamlian with the story. Reporter it was a simple tweet from the gap, featuring this model wearing a plaid dress, but it wasnt the dress getting attention. On social media, in what world do people look like this, one wrote . Doesnt the gap feed its models . Seriously. She looks ill. One poster writing, looks like she needs a hamburger and some sunlight. Not everyone was opposed to the ad. People say this to my wife all the time, and its just as hurtful as telling a fat person to diet. These disparaging comments even have a label. Skinning shaming. It is making a person or a group of individuals feel badly about themselves because they are too thin in someone elses opinion. Reporter the fashion industry has long been criticized for barely there models and for its attitude toward women not thin enough for the catwalk. In 2006, abercrombie and fitch ceo mike jeffrey told salon it purposely didnt include extra large sizes because it was targeting the attractive, allamerican kids. Size 22 blogger jess baker wasnt impressed, spoofing the ads with attractive and fat. Later he responded and said he regretted his words were interpreted to cause offense. As far the gap the Company Issues a statement saying, our intention is always to celebrate diversity. Customer feedback is important to us and we think this is a valuable conversation to learn from. Ad week writer emma brazilian says its the companys critics that appear insensitive. The commenters are the ones spewing hateful language. People need to learn to keep opinions to themselves, whether theyre too thin, whether theyre too big. We need to respect women and respect their bodies for what they are, theyre their body, not ours to comment on. Reporter whether its skinny shaming or fat shaming, customers are showing that theyre fed up with the arrows slung at anyone not picture perfect. For today Janet Shamlian, nbc news. Interesting point. We were just talking about this. If someone is really thin, if someone is repeatedly making comments about them, that can be hurtful, too. We are saying people feel compelled to size up body types, just say hi, how are you doing . You look great. Suppose it could be a nonissue, just say hi. A nonissue. Now to our special series this is 50 as we mark hodas big milestone. Fit at 50. According to our survey, 79 of people say they get a physical at least once a year. Hoda is here with some answers. Happy birthday. Thank you, kiddos. Who actually likes going to the doctor . Not a lot of people. I dont like it either. When i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer seven years ago, i made a promise that i would always be my own best health advocate. Now as i turn 50 and with our own dr. Nancy snyderman at my side, there was no time like the present to make good on that promise. Hi, ladies. How are you . Reporter at nyu center for womens health, i was lucky enough to have onestop shopping for all the poking and prodding, i mean fine medical testing, that comes along with turning 50. Girl, here we go. This is a simple test and it doesnt hurt. Reporter at first, something i had never done before, a bone density test. So this thing just scans your bones . Thats what its doing. Thats exactly what its doing right now. You dont feel a thing, right . No, i dont feel a thing. I love bone density tests. I had no idea. Why would anyone say it was a big deal. Who said it was a big deal . I dont know, somebody. They lied to you. I could have taken a nap. Reporter my bone density tested normal, but it was the next test which had me nervous. So now on to something youve been through before, mammography. I know it must conger up memories of the journey youve been on. Reporter in 2007 that journey with Breast Cancer included a mammogram just like the one i was about to have. It was a scary time. Even though i had been moving forward ever since, these tests do bring back a lot of memories. Theres Something Weird i have to say about walking into a hospital, seeing similar faces, remembering, and you go in and things just trigger things. Especially when you were diagnosed, youre healthy, it was routine, you got a surprise. I want you to turn this way. Reporter in the last seven years, i have had several followup mammograms. Im sorry. I have cold hands but a warm heart. Reporter it doesnt make them more comfortable, especially with a couple of camera crews in the room. The Necessary Evil is over. Thank you. Youre welcome. Reporter an ultrasound was the next order of business since i have dense breast tissue and a history of Breast Cancer. What are you seeing . Normal breast tissue. Say that again. Normal breast tissue. Yay yay, yay. That is awesome. Im so happy to be laying here on this table. Im so happy. I dont even care who is in this room with me. Reporter i had one more test, something i had been putting off out of fear, my heart. Heart disease is the leading killer of women in the u. S. It also took the life of someone i loved, my dad. I was only in college when my dad suddenly died of a heart attack, around the same age i am now. Because of my age, cardiologist doctor Nisa Goldberg suggested i get an electrocardiogram to check my heart rhythm. Because of my Family History, she also suggested a stress test to check my rhythm during physical exertion. How are you feeling . Pretty good. Breathing okay . Yes, i think so. We did the test. Give it to me straight. How am i at 50 . I think youre fabulous at 50. Your cardiac exam, your physical exam is normal. Reporter all right. All great news or so i thought. We then went ahead and did a hemoglobin a1c that measures your average blood sugar over three months. And your level was 5. 9, and normal is less than 5. 7. So we need to work on that. Too much sugar. Too much sugar. The 5. 9 puts you in the pre diabetes range. Youre kidding. Im not kidding. Reporter so dr. Goldberg says cookies were going to have to go. Bummer. But luckily i had one more appointment left, the only one i had been looking forward to. Hi. How are you . Reporter with my Breast Cancer surgeon. You had a mammogram and ultrasound today. Both tests were negative, so there was nothing suspicious at all on either test which is really good. Yay, yay, yay. Its a really great moment because youre not defined by Breast Cancer. Youre right. I remember the day after i was clear, you said lets remember what just happened today. Its so funny, the other thing i remember when i look at you and i cant even think about it. I remember it well, it was just before i was going in to surgery and my mom was standing there and you gave thumbs up, said to her im going to take good care of your daughter. I remember my mom looked at you and held your hands. I was lying on the bed. For some reason, thats my memory, you comforting her. And i thought, like and it all sort of comes back, you know. Its weird. It was a moment. It was a moment. Anyway, i remember it very well. Thank you. Then i put the gas on and slept through the whole thing. You have a lot of guts, honey. You do. Thank you. I love you. Youre doing fabulous. Im going to come around for a hug. Shes the best. By the way, it does feel so good to get that news. Its so funny because when she said that, it is Something Like Breast Cancer shaped me but doesnt define me. I dont know why i feel emotional. I am good its good its all good. Any hoo a few less candy bars. By the way, im a sugar addict. What did she say . Stop eating cookies. And doughnuts. And doughnuts. Im going to step back from that. The other thing they say is at 50 youre supposed to have a colonoscopy. Because of my other history ive had a couple, but thats another thing they recommend at 50 to go through and get that. Al, youve had one of those. Oh, yeah. Theyre not as bad as people make them out to be. The actual procedure is not youve got to do it. Even thats better. Just real quick, i asked dr. Goldberg and dr. Schnavel to put a comprehensive list of everything you need to know about women in their 50s. You can find it on our website at today. Com. Its a pain. I didnt want to go. I didnt even want to go that day, ill be honest. Just do it. Get it over with. Onestop shopping. Coming up, star power times a very good morning to you. It is 8 26 right now. Im laura garciacannon.

But to a kid being tickled is kind of like the worst. You know what i loved about it . How much funny had watching it. One of the cool things about the voice im so proud its family entertainment. Theres not a lot of entertainment where my father, my kid, myself can all like something. I genuinely loved this movie. We want to con tell rise the turtles, do it in a way that was fun. Yeah, family. For me its something i can enjoy with my own kid. Theres not a lot of that. Theres not a lot of that. To be able to do that is such a win. You do a lot more action than you thought you would. Tell me about that . Im used to walking into a scene and saying a few words and sitting down. Good at that, by the way. Thank you.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this thursday morning, aupg 7, 2014. Im natalie morales, along with al roker and tamron hall. Willie is off. Tamron is calling him willis from now on. Not to his face. Again we have a campaign going, bangbangtoday. Arianna grande two fridays from now. When shes here, we want nicki minaj and jesse j to perform with her. I read a tweet that says jesse j. Is in town. Come on. Go to social media, put the pressure on. Someone sent a tweet to me and al saying jesse j. Is in new york. Bangbangtoday. We want you to get on twitter and tell jesse j. And nicki to come on down. An early birthday. Think of this as a 60th birthday present. Perfect. We have the perfect gift. Nicki minaj, jesse j. Bangbangtoday. We had such a good time yesterday. Hoda is celebrating her birthday for ten years. About to turn 60 no, turning 50 on saturday is the official birthday just in case you were wondering. We had a great time at kathie lees. This is our selfie, everyone trying to get their face in there. Where were you . Drinking to the side with kathie lee. Her place is like a peninsula. Im like why would you ever travel anywhere in the world. A little slice of heaven. The Birthday Party was heavenly. Kenny log against performed again. Hoda did a foot loose once again. Kenny log ginns loves her. He was there for the Birthday Party. Always great seeing frank gifford, too. Thanks to kathie lee and frank for the best Birthday Party. Nice summer fun for all of us. There was a cake that was a little bit controversial. For who . A little bit, about the shape of the cake. Youll see. Lets just say when you go to a bakery, you can get cake or you can get buns. Its a fabulous cake. The cake was fabulous. And wrong, very wrong. Youll get to see the pictures later. And the gorgeous gift bag, too they gave us when we left the party, a huge bag of candy which was terrible for me because with this 30day detox. Youre giving up shopping. What. Mine is sweets. I ate the whole bag of sweets all the way back, twizzlers, chocolate, candy popcorn. Did you put the five bucks in the detox jar. Theres a detox jar in the makeup room. If you cheat, you must put in five bucks. At the end it gets collected and goes to a charity. Thats good. The other thing weve been talking about, hawaii for the first time in 22 years is being threatened by a direct hit from a hurricane, not by one, but literally by two hurricanes. We have iselle and right behind it weve got julio. Both category one storms, theyre going to be pushing their way toward hawaii. We expect gisele to make landfall on the big island sometime tonight hawaii time about 8 00 p. M. Julio is right behind it. You see folks obviously stocking up, of course. Red cross getting people ready. Theyve got shelters on standby. The governor declared a state of emergency. Schools closed to day and tomorrow. People doing the sandbagging thing. It could be up to a foot of rain. Talking high winds, storm surge one to three feet. Were going to continue to track it. Why is it there arent more hurricanes there . They head that way. Theyve had tropical depressions come over them. Theyve had the effects of hurricanes. A direct hit, the last one was iniki in 1992. Its just the luck of the draw really. Theyve got cooler water to their north. They usually have warmer water to their south. So they stayed pretty lucky. But it looks like luck is about to run out. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they get ready to endure, not one, but two hurricanes. I met a little girl on the plaza from baltimore. Her mom is vacationing in hawaii. She says shes coming back early. All the honeymooners are there, a big honeymoon time, people plan big trips. Al will keep us up to date. A controversial topic of body images in the news again. So gap sent out an online ad. Its about a dress, but it turns into a story about the model itself. The ad said dress up your days in pastel plaid. The reaction to social media by storm. One person wrote doesnt the gap feed its models . Seriously she looks ill. Some people commented on her complexion saying she looks pale. Its brought up the conversation of skinny shaming. We talk a lot about fat shaming. Now were saying is it fair to then go at this model for her physique. I dont know. You talked about this earlier. I think there was a time in our lives where i was much skinnier, too, prekids. I remember people making comments online about my appearance. Its not something, like i was trying to be thin. I just was. Now having had kids, not that thin. I have my dads physique. I think until i turned 30 i was 101 pounds. I remember this woman came to me and said youre so skinny, and i said, youre so short and i walked away. I was like listen it was an implication that i was trying to be, and i wasnt. My niece is a teenage girl. She asked me the other day. She said i want a butt because its in style to have the curves like all the girls in the videos. Someone said, why is she preoccupied . Shes a girl. Shes 13. They see what they see as a desirable figure now which is the curves. You go to the store if youre naturally thin, you dont want someone beating you down. I think its from fat shaming, skinny shaming, mommy shaming. Its exhausting now when you go online and see everyone dictating to someone else. Pipe down. A perception of what perfection is which nobody is. We should do perfection shaming. Those seeking perfection, were going to shame you baz its unattainable. It doesnt happen. If there has to be one, let it be that. You dont want to get too thin. What . Really . Like thats possible. But that said, what you decide to do with your own body is what you do. People have an opinion on everything. Gap did release a statement and they said our intention is always to celebrate diversity. Customer feedback is important to us and we think this is a valuable conversation to learn from. Well see if that changes anything in the way they choose to have models wear their clothes. Two of our favorite actors, kevin spacey, julia louisdryfus. Both of them have played president s. Kevin plays frank underwood. Julia is the ambitious salina myers on veep. Take a look at them on two new covers. Very disturbing. I love this one. I screamed. Awesome. Spectacular. I wasnt sure who he was at first. Theyve taken the openings to their shows and flipped their bodies and faces. That is spectacular. Look at her feet. Theyre just dangling. Look at the look on his face. Hes got julia louisdryfuss smirk. I understand hes keeping that look. I think he should. Frank underwood walks in wearing that outfit in the third season. Not a bad deal. House of cards. Mr. Roker, how about a check of the weather once again. But first this. Announcer todays weather is brought to you by yoplait greek 100. America has voted, four of five people prefer the taste of yoplait greek 100 strawberry over chobanis simply 100 strawberry. See if you agree. Here is what were talking about now with iselle and julio. Right now iselle is 350 miles eastsoutheast of hilo. Winds down to 85 Miles Per Hour. Julio is 1340 miles east of hilo. Winds are up to 100 Miles Per Hour. Were going to be tracking this thing as it makes its way. Weve got hurricane warnings for the big island. Other islands, Tropical Storm warnings, Tropical Storm watches for kauai as it makes its way to the west, it is now in warmer waters. Water temperatures in the low 80s. When it makes landfall around thursday at 8 00, its probably still going to be a category one storm pushing through. By friday evening its back into the open waters, and were looking at anywhere from five to eight inches of rain. Locally 12 inches, up to 16foot waves. Storm surge one to three feet. And then over the weekend weve got julio should stay to the north. But youre still going to get effects along the northern facing shorelines of the islands of hawaii. So this is not great news in anybodys anybodys language. Well, thursdays starting off with some low clouds and misty skies, clearing to hazy sunshine around san jose later on. Should see highs near about 84 degrees in san jose. Upper 60s to close to 70 in San Francisco. Across the north bay, well see highs in the mid to upper 80s for you today. Danville, 87 degrees, and 90s around pleasanton. Over towards livermore.

I get to go on and take on my own legends at work its fun to have that dichotomy. Ive seen the bus cards going by. What is a legend . A legend is a persona, an undercover persona you take on.

This morning on our special series this is 50, the five foods to avoid and the five to eat. Eating healthy keeps your more active especially when youre older like molly shannons character Sally Omalley on saturday night live. Proud to say im 50 years old, not afraid to her real age. I can kick, stretch and kick. Im 50. [ cheers and applause ] here with what we need to know is our 50yearold nutritionist. I can kick. You can stretch. Were going to make sure that hoda can kick and move and stretch. Talking about the foods to avoid. Youre going to reveal them first. The first food is pickles. Theyre so yummy. They are yummy. Im not 50 yet. Ki steal one. One pickle has more than 1,000 milligrams of sodium. Once were in our mid 50s, more than half of american adults, men and women, have high Blood Pressure. A lot of people with high Blood Pressure are salt sensitive. Salt takes those high numbers and makes them even higher. So minimize those pickles. This is an obvious one. Pan pizza. Were not giving up pizza. Because of the crust . All of this unnecessary junkie starch adds 100 to 200 calories per slice. Definitely go for the thin crust pizza. Next. Sugar. All of this sugar rush sends your blood sugars into a tailspin and then you get an insulin surge and it promotes inflammation. Not good. Avoid those. These are breakfast pastries. Why shouldnt we have this . Here is the thing. You dont want to eat them first thing in the long. If you love breakfast pastries, have them as a desert later on. This is a setup for a bad day. Youll have a crash and then it will ruin your mood for the rest of the day. Youre going to impulse eat the wrong foods and pack on the pounds. Lastly, hoda is not going to forgive me.

The oscar winner is here to tell a woman who loves to share her passions. Grandma mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts her at a greater risk of stroke. Rome . Sure before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. But thats history. Back to the museum . Not this time now that her doctor switched her to onceaday xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. Domestic flight . Not today like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. So mary is free of that monitoring routine. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Spinach . Grazie plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the Healthy Foods she likes. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. Ask your doctor about onceaday xarelto®. No regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions.

We are back with our this is 50 celebrating the last of the boomers turning 50 this year. Like our hoda woman. Its part of our collaboration with the team over at huff post 50. We shared stories of incredible women who have reinvented themselves after the age of 50. This is one of those inspiring women. Despite several Serious Health challenges, she found her passion and true calling. Heres her story. Reporter for 25 years i worked as a sales rep and moved my way up quickly, eventually to vice president. But then the economy changed drastically. During that time, i had to lay off hundreds of people over a period of five years, and somewhere in the back of my mind i knew it could happen to me. At age 55 it did. I was disappointed and uncertain about my future, and then as if on cue, my health took a turn for the worse. I started feeling achy, had trouble breathing, and eventually found out i was suffering from a chronic lung condition, severe emphazema and add to that lime disease and debilitating arthritis. I felt like my life was spinning out of control until my daughter, a successful massage therapist and yoga teacher at the time, kept encouraging me try yoga. I thought it was a bunch of hokus pokus. I thought, oh, sure, ill try it someday. Later that year i tried a class with a friend. The instructor was middle age, round in the middle, and had great hair. Hallelujah. If she could do it, so could i. I loved it, and i decided to take a 200 hour yoga teacher training. I started teaching classes and doing private lessons. Now i found my calling. Even while tethered to an oxygen tank, i still teach yoga three times a week at the age of 56. You can swont see me doing a headstand any time soon, but you can always reinvent yourself at any age. I am happy. I am healthy. I am at ease. More beautiful than ever. I love her. Here to guide you in finding your passion is motivational speaker and life coach lisa nichols. Hello, lisa. Hello, lisa. Came to play. Yes, she did. This is so great that she found yoga, and i think but they kind of stumbled into her passion, and i think there are probably people watching who maybe cant even identify what their passion is yet. But they know something is missing. Thats right. Sometimes you are forced to find it because all the other doors are closed. You know . And the reality is every single one of us has a passion in us. You have to become nonnegotiable to find it. Then agree that it may not be that thing you do for fee or for your livelihood, and maybe the thing you do that makes you feel good. Exactly. Tell us about your personal story. You had a dream. I had a dream. I wanted to inspire people. I wanted to travel the world, run my mouth, and autograph stuff. At the time i was working for l. A. Unified School District with a 3yearold son. I started writing myself a check every two weeks, and in the line i wrote funding my dream even before i knew clearly what the dry was. Zoo knew it was going to cost something. I was willing to pay that price. Be willing to pay. Foed my life is barely recognizable. We get to reinvent ourselves. We get to say, okay, great, i did that. I raised the kids. I created a person. Now i want to find out what do i love . What really touched me about your story is your low, low, low point with your baby when you tell us about that for a moment. You had your lowest my son was 8months old, and i went to get pampers for him, and in order to get 20 out, you had to have 20 in. I had 11 in the bank. I hit flat bottom. I wrapped my son in a towel for two days, and on the second day i said, yolani, dont worry, mommy will never be this broke again. I was willing to put away all my excuse. I was willing to put away my fears. I was willing to know what i dont know, to go find it. I was willing to have my knees knocking and my teeth chattering. Risk it. It all needed to look good to reinvent lisa, and i look up now, and my life is barely recognizable. Im that kid that got a c in school. Im not an a. P. Student or advanced student. I got kicked out of college my first year because i couldnt afford to go. Im not the person thats supposed to be running a multimilliondollar business, but because my passion said i want to be something more than ive ever seen. Every woman, every man has the exact same ability. Why . Because the human spirit is unbreakable. Its unbreakable. Preach it. I love you. Can me and hoda find our passion . Exactly. Accepting it feels good. Normally our head talks us out of it because it may not make sense. We adjust how we look doing it. Can i make a living at it . We care what others think. My grandmother said other peoples perception of you aint none of your business. What if you were just committed to what felt good . Dont try to make it your livelihood yet. Just take one step toward it. She said yoga felt good. I stook another step towards it. Is it dancing, singing, kayaking, swimming . Listen to that. Take a baby step. A baby step. Whats your son doing now . Is he well . My son wants to be a chef, and so when he was in his senior year, he says, mom, can i cook around the world . Now, this is the same baby who i couldnt put pampers on, and i had to get on government assistance to feed him. I sent my son on a 78day International Culinary tour. Oh, my god. Now he is at cordon bleu. We love you. Youre coming back. Were going to play together, right . You are adorable. Wonderful.
