Dylan does have more on that. The last unofficial weekend of summertime and we saw crazy storms through the midwest. The rain came down so hard it fell at about two inches per hour. When it comes down that fast, it caught a lot of people off guard. Happened between 4 00 and 5 00 yesterday across new jersey and up into new york. We saw a lot of flooding on the roadways too. Back in the midwest we had a big issue with hail and damaging wind gusts. Look at these ominous clouds. We saw hail as big as tennis balls. Speaking of tennis balls, the u. S. Open also had to be called early because the courts couldnt handle the water. Crowds had to leave. They were strieing to squeegee the water off there. But it was too much in a short period of time. We will see things resume today but we do still have some storms through missouri right now. Look at this heavy rainfall thats falling across missouri. Weve got this line of storms producing the cloud to ground lightning. Our most Severe Weather today is expected from michigan back in the eastern parts of kansas. Thats where we could see today large hail and damaging wind gusts. Its going to be just as active as it was yesterday. More storms in the northeast too. Well keep our eyes on it. Thank you, dylan. President obama is under growing pressure to take the fight to isis in syria even from senior members of his own party. This comes amidst the word more americans are joining the ranks of the extremist group. Chris jansing has more. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you, willie. There is increasing concern about westerners including americans who have passports that would allow them to travel to syria for training and come back to the uk or u. S. To launch strikes. In fact, today the British Parliament is considering ways to make it easier for them to seize the passports of people who are believed to be isis sympathizers as president obama weighs his options for targeting isis in syria. As the u. S. Military ramps up air strikes against isis in iraq, president obama is facing growing bipartisan pressure this morning to take the fight to isis in syria. On meet the press, it was said the president hasnt done enough to confront the isis front. I think i learned one thing about this president. And that is hes very cautious. Maybe in this instance too cautious. Reporter a view echoed by Top Republicans including senators john mccain and Lindsay Graham writing in the new york times, continuing to confront isis in iraq but not in syria would be fighting with one hand tied behind our back. Still some democrats say the president is right to proceed carefully. It is extremely urgent that you dont just rush in because the media is talking about it. Reporter its not just the media. King abdullah warned over the weekend if isis is ignored im sure theyll reach europe in a month and america in another month. The white house says the president takes this seriously. The sense of urgency is growing as isis expands its reach aided by an influx of thousands of fighters holding western passports. Then the announce of an arrest of a 16yearold girl suspected of trying to reach syria to fight. Officials estimate 70 to 100 americans have joined isis and other extremist groups fearing they could return to the u. S. To launch attacks. Im very concerned. Because we dont know every Single Person that has an american passport that has gone and trained and learned how to fight. Reporter the threat of isis as well as the situation in ukraine will be the focus of meetings as the president travels to estonia and wales later this week. Today, though, hell be in milwaukee and make remarks at the annual labor fest celebration. Thank you. Michael leiter served in the obama administration. Hes now an Nbc News National Security analyst. Good morning. Good morning. The one thing from king ab l abdullah raising the Terror Threat to severe. There are westerners who have gone to syria and gotten training and can come back. As the house chairman said, its hard for western countries to identify these people. So we dont see a specific front right now but we know there are westerners that have trained with these groups. Identifying them and stopping them is very hard. No specific threat, but we have eric holder saying theyre more frightening than anything ive seen. And chuck hagel said this is an imminent threat to every interest we have. Doesnt that mean theres something out there approaching the United States . In my view there very much is. I believe the president is going to have to move towards an offensive step in syria. That doesnt mean theres a plot that we see right now but there are all the signs. Theres the safe haven, training, funding, and an intent to strike the west. We can wait awhile, but if we dont get on the offense, theres no way all of our defensive measures could catch all of the people that might come. And striking inside syria gets tricky. Thank you very much. Thanks, willie. This morning nascar superstar tony stewart is trying to move on after a disappointing return to racing. It was his first time competing since he struck and killed a fellow driver three weeks ago. But the race did not go as planned. And nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is at the motor speedway in hampton, georgia. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Stewart ended up slamming into the wall on this track twice. He ended up finishing 41st out of 43 drivers and barely making it through half the race. Whoa, into the wall. Stewart looked like contact from kyle busch. Reporter overnight sparks flew as tony stewart was knocked off track. The nascar legend tells his team sorry, guys. You deserve better than this. Reporter we were there as he left his garage in a heavy damaged car beyond repair. Disappointed to not finish the race but in the context of everything thats gone on, it was a race that he wasnt able to finish. Reporter it was stewarts first race since he struck and killed a fellow driver kevin ward jr. At a dirt track in upstate new york three weeks ago. Ward had climbed out and stepped onto the track. A fan posted it on youtube. This has been one of the toughest tragedies ive had to deal with. Reporter stewart spoke publicly about it for the first time friday. The sheriff says the crash investigation will take at least two more weeks. Online some critics bashed stewart for returning so soon. One saying cant believe hes allowed to drive. But many fans here are handing by him even as his return ended with a torn up tire and a 41st place finish. We were sad. We were hoping hed get a good race in. Sorry he wasnt able to make a comeback. A lot of his fans want him back. Thats a tough one. Reporter stewart is now looking to next week. He would have to win next saturdays race in richmond, virginia, to even have a shot at this years championship. All right. Gabe gutierrez at the atlanta motor speedway. By the way, beautiful shot there, that sunrise. Now to another story getting attention this morning. Dozens of photos of Jennifer Lawrence in the nude and more than 100 other celebs in compromising positions hit the internet sunday in a massive hacking scandal. Betty nguyen has more on this story. Reporter good morning. Racy pictures sent social media into a frenzy. A master list according to be a list of all the stars had dozens of rains like rihanna, Jennifer Lawrence, and mary kate olsen. Nbc news will not show any of the leaked images. Late sunday a representative for Jennifer Lawrence appears to confirm the photos were of the star saying, this is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence is just one of about 100 celebrities targeted in the unprecedented attack. The pictures first posted on the online message board where a hacker also claimed to have nude and seminude photos of rihanna, supermodel kate upton, hope solo, and kirsten dunst, lea michelle, and Mary Elizabeth winston. According to several reports, the hacker allegedly obtained the pictures through a cloud leak. These are federal crimes and state crimes. We have wire fraud, computer fraud, and those crimes attach a lot of years in jail. Reporter winston responded to the hack on twitter. Saying, to those of you looking at photos i took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel good about yourselves. I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked. While Victoria Justice denied that any of the photos are of her tweet, these socalled nudes of me are fake, people. Let me nip this in the bud. Back in 2012 a man was sentenced to ten years in prison for hacking into the private accounts of Scarlett Johansson and mila kunis and posting their photos online. Thanks very much. You were saying about the cloud, its hard to know whats up there in the cloud. Its just floating around in space. They can hack that security system. Its got to be nearly impossible. Ive got a picture of me and my dog. Nothing interesting. Kate snow is here now with a check of the rest of the news stories. A militia has entered a embassy. Bill neeley is in london this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. American diplomats left tripoli weeks ago but their homes are now in the hands of militia men. The main Embassy Remains secure for now. But this is the first time that a u. S. Facility has been overrun. In a country free falling into chaos, militia fighters celebrate their takeover of an american diplomatic compound. Nbc news cant authenticate this video but the u. S. Ambassador to libya says it shows an annex. The main homes abandoned quickly last month. All u. S. Staff evacuated as fighting intensified. The government who controls are militias. Thick takeover, an uncomfortable we minder of the killing of Chris Stevens and three other americans almost two years ago. Tripoli is now a deadly battle ground. For weeks militias have vied for control. Enflamed further by air strikes on libya from gulf states and egypt. Libya is in tur moil, an american compound once again overrun, rival governments, hundreds of militias, and another Foreign Policy headache. And its just one headache among so many for the obama administration. Syria, iraq, not to mention ukraine. The president s Foreign Policy under fire. His handling of libya always contentious and now still an issue. Bill neeley in london this morning. Thanks. It was a chaotic day at an airport on monday.

They used a ladder to reach others stranded in the air. The cause of the accident is under investigation. And Lesson Learned for a drone pilot. You can see it going up high above a lake, but at one point the drone loses Battery Power and starts coming back to the earth. The guy on shore is starting to panic. First he goes for the boat. Then he just empties his pockets and runs into the water just in time to make the catch. Thats a really shallow lake. Good thing the got to it. We had one of those with family photos recently. A photographer took photos of us. Have you seen these things . Theyre amazing. Weve done a lot of stories. Theyre not that expensive. But theyre really loud though. Thanks very much. On wheel, by the way. Doing the news on one leg. Hobbling around with a stress fracture, right . Yeah. Lets get a check of the weather from dylan.

One boy was struck by lightning and killed. And militia groups have secured the u. S. Embassy and residential compound there. Video surfaced of men appearing to have a pool party.

Hundreds of Police Departments have started to buy body cameras for their officers but is it always a good idea . We want to begin this half hour with a criminal investigation involving a usc Football Player. He made up a story about being a hero and now Los Angeles Police are questioning him in connection with a possible crime. Katy tur joins us with the latest on these twists and turns in the case. Reporter good morning. This was supposed to be the best time of usc josh shaws life. Captain of the football team, College Degree in hand, ready to show off his talents for the nfl. But now shaw is under a cloud of suspicion. His future anything but clear. While josh shaws teammates at usc are already making a lot of noise in their bid for a national championship, the teams star quarterback is being hit with a suspension after lying to coaches. It started last week when he said he sprained both his ankles while trying to save his nephew. Then his name turned up at a disturbance at his girlfriends home that same night 60 miles away. This whole thing started on a radio call about a screaming woman. Our officers responded and ultimately took a burglary report that night. Reporter witnesses report seeing a man matching shaws description scaling down the apartment balcony before running away. Theres been an allegation made there was possibly a Domestic Violence incident that occurred. Reporter shaw has admitted to lying how he injured his ankles but after two interviews with police he has hired a criminal defense attorney known for representing attorneys like snoop dogg and rihanna. The reality is theres no Domestic Violence. Theres no crime whatsoever. Reporter sources tell nbc news Police Believe shaw got into a heated argument with his girlfriend but she had no visible injuries and the couple is no longer cooperating. These are really difficult cases for the prosecution to put together especially when you have an uncooperative victim. Reporter detectives say it could take a hail mary. Its a long climb back. Reporter ultimately the District Attorneys Office will decide whether criminal charges are warranted in this case. But with Roger Goodell announcing tougher penalties for Domestic Violence, the stakes couldnt be higher for shaws future. Lets get a check of weather now from dylan. August was a nice month. Now ironically were getting into september and were looking at some of our warmest temperatures so far. Its hot, humid, and weve got an area of High Pressure pumping in the heat and humidity. Want to show you just how warm its going to be across parts of texas today where temperatures should get well into the prip triple digits. Well top out in 90 in new york city. Stay in the mid90s through the carolinas. Out west, temperatures will start cooling off a little bit. But on wednesday in good morning. A steamy start after thunderstorms and showers last night. High 80s to low 90s for the highs. A chance for thundershowers today. The shower threat back tomorrow. 94 for tuesday afternoon. The showers take a break, but the heat stays with us wednesday, thursday and into the weekend with more showers and thunderstorms possible saturday into sunday. And thats your latest forecast. Thanks a lot. Police officers in ferguson, missouri, have begun wearing body cameras following the Fatal Shooting of unarmed teen michael brown. The act is gaining support across the country. And as Gabe Gutierrez reports, some are calling it the future of policing. Reporter from the police dash cam, takedown seems to come out of nowhere. But from other angle, one from a body camera a much clearer picture of what led to the arrest. You get to see what this officer saw. The guy wheeled around and hit him in the face. Reporter the Police Department started using body cameras nine months ago. It helps keep the officers accountable and helps the citizens feel safe. Reporter its a Department Policy for the officers to turn on the camera every time they approach a citizen. This is the view from that camera. The officers say they turn it on at least a dozen times a day. So far at least 1200 u. S. Law enforcement agencies have bought body cameras. Theres now a renewed push for them after the shooting in ferguson, missouri. By next year denver hopes to equip its 800 officers. I think citizens have a right to know what the officers are doing. Reporter last year body cam video from daytona beach, florida, show sd what led to officers to fire at a man holding a knife to a womans neck. And this shows a woman fleeing from officers in north carolina. A camera captured a teenager throwing a knife at police. These cameras are the future of policing. Reporter there are some concerns involving privacy and how these videos can be used in court. Just because we put cameras on officers nowadays doesnt mean were going to capture everything. Reporter but to far many are calling it a win win. Documentation, accountability, transparency is part of what we do now. And it should be. Reporter if a pictures worth a thousand words, to them these images are priceless. Gabe gutierrez, nbc news. Thanks a lot. Those cameras certainly tell the full story in a way a dash cam doesnt always do. Coming up, the bag ban. Why california could become the first state to ban Plastic Grocery bags and why opponents say the measure goes a little too far. Plus in trending, its the heartwarming video of the day.

That familiar question is apparently facing extinction in california which could make history this month by becoming the first state to ban plastic bags. Hallie jackson is live in los angeles. Hallie, good morning. Good morning, natalie. If this New California law goes into effect, you still have the option of paper or the reusable bags. But you may have to fork over another dollar or two to carry home your groceries. This California Grocery Store sill offers plastic bags for those who forget their own. I have some in my car and some hanging on my front door and yet im here with the plastic bags. Reporter but soon that option may be shelved for good. Forcing shoppers who dont bring a bag and want one to buy one and pay at least 10 cents for the paper or reusable kind. You spend enough money in stores. Now weve got to bring our own bags. Reporter california lawmakers just approved a bill to get rid of single use plastic bags at Grocery Stores and pharmacies starting next summer if the governor signs it into law. I think its a win win win. Good for the business, good for the economy, good for the environment. Reporter massachusetts and washington are also consider similar plans. And five other states are looking at taxes or fees anywhere from 1 to 15 cents per bag. After years and years and years of them trying to get more people to recycle plastic bags, the recycling rate is still only at like 5 . Reporter but with ads like these, the plastic bag industry has been lobbying hard against the ban. These manufacturers will lose their jobs. Theres no question about it. Reporter and not all californians are ready for the rise of the reusable bag. Some of them look disgusting. When youre behind somebody with those bags, its ridiculous. Reporter this is just more convenient. Yes. And it troubles as a trash bag once i get home. Reporter though shoppers have no shortage of opinions, its up to the governor to decide whether these bags get sacked. And Governor Brown has until the end of this month to sign this bill into law or not. A lot of different perspectives on this one. Yeah. Thank you, hallie. I try to bring bags to the Grocery Store, but i often forgot. I run into the Grocery Store and forget. Thats me every time. Theyre in the trunk. Or you dont have enough. But they are nice. You have to haul your own stuff around. And maybe you reuse them as dylan does. I use them as crash like the guy on the tape said. Coming up in trending, kindergarten can really get to a kid.

Its time for whats trending today. Lets start on this labor day with the question, is the customer always right . Have you ever been to a restaurant and asked for ketchup and given a flatout no . Its happened to me. In florida this restaurant has a blunt message. Dont ask for ketchup. On its website they said we know, we know people love their ketchup. But honestly be ready. If youre over ten years old ketchup will not be provided. We simply ask that you trust us. Dont even ask for salt either. They dont put the shakers on the table either. Terrible. In my hometown in santa monica, california. Great burger. Im paying 15 for it. If im a paying customer and i choose for ketchup, they will not bring it. I like it the way i like it. Its the chefs call to say this tastes good without it. When you work hard and pay money for something if i wanted to put anything on it, soy sauce, its up to the paying customer. If you ask for it on pasta or something i could see maybe no. But on a hamburger . Very snobby, that behavior. Its not a gourmet place. Its a mom and pop type joint. This is nothing short of tyranny. I think we can all agree. Absolutely. We like our ketchup. But mean while on our facebook page, we asked you is it rude for a restaurant to refuse ketchup . Over 90 said it is rude. 10 siding with the restaurant. I think the chef makes the call. You do . I want to eat it the way they intended it to be eaten. Lets get to heartwarming video. Its about a 7yearold boy named avery. Hes the son of university of nebraska assistant coach of basketball. Hes battling leukemia. But in this video he learns hes been cleared to leave the hospital. Guess what. What . Were going home today. [ screaming ] high five. Now, avery still got a long road ahead of him, but what a wonderful moment. The internet has lit up with support. Averystrong. We want to add our sentiment to that. And just from being in the hospital myself having our baby, its just getting home is everything. So nice to be home. Thinking of avery. Great story. For parents its the most wonderful time of the year. Why . Your children are heading back to school. Not wonderful for the kids, however. And the backtoschool blues are summed up in this before and after photos. Theres the before photo. All shiny. Theres the after. The smile is long gone. The backpack half slumped over. After one day of kindergarten, its taken its toll on the young man. Hang in there, buddy. My son is getting ready to start kindergarten. That could be his before and after. Thats a half day, by the way. He picked out a backpack three times the size of him. So cute. Natalie and kate, you love les mis. Imagine your shopping at the mall and this happens. So thats the cast of the orlando production at a local mall with one day more is the key song at the end. One witness said that she started bawling when she saw the red flag come out. That was in the mall . I would be waving my red flag. We did this story expecting you would be singing. So if you dont mind. Yes. I recommend you do this at moem as well. Carry on. I want to but their voices are so good. Go ahead. One more day one day more nice. I didnt hear it. Whatever. Thats whats trending today. Coming up, the band of mothers and their inspiring story. We are back in 30 seco when we talk about americas Wounded Warriors its often a great story of strength and struggle. Four iraq vets all amputees are sharing a different story about life after war. Erica hill is here with a beautiful story. Good morning. This is a fantastic story. When you talk with these four vets you cant help but smile because their joy over a shared new beginning is infectious and in many ways its also miraculous. Its a moment and a milestone these Wounded Warriors werent convinced theyd ever see. To think of where weve all come from and ten years later were all having children of our own, i think its a phenomenal story. Reporter ten years ago melissa stopwell was a soldier in iraq out for a routine patrol when a roadside bomb hit her humvee. She became the first female to lose a limb in Operation Iraqi freedom. By the end of 2004, she was one of five female amputees recovering at walter reed including Army Captain Tammy Duckworth now an illinois congressman who lost both her legs. And by the time i woke up my husband said all four women who were amputees before you were here to tell you everything was going to be fine. Reporter it was in those moments that their sister hood was born. One that today is taking on new meaning as four of them become mothers. I am so thrilled im going to be a mother here in four months. Its the first time the illinois representative has talked about her pregnancy on camera. So we went through many cycles and all the different varieties of ivf. Being in the job that i have it was hard to keep it very quiet. Caller duckworths baby girl is due in early december. Right behind melissa stopwells little boy in late november. Dawns son is now four months old. And Danielle Green byrd welcomed daniel just ten days ago. Each new life a reminder of how far these soldiers have come. We share a special bond. Then being able to share the war stories of mother hood or pregnancy, thats a new chapter for us. Reporter with the thought of mother hood and families, was it something you allowed yourself to think about or was there a time i you thought it was out for you . We wondered if it would be possible to have children. Learned you can still have children and provide. But i think we have to find ourselves first. Reporter getting to this point hasnt been easy. But the bond they share has made the journey far less lonely. These women were there for me at the band of sisters when i went through the greatest pain, the greatest trauma in my life. And now we get to be together for the time of greatest joy. Reporter a joy they once barely dreamed of that now offers new hope to so many. And this band of mothers as theyve now taken to calling themselves is already planning their first play date. Dawn told us what shes looking forward to is teaching her sown about the incredible strength each of these women had and how they all came together. Theyre incredible. Incredible women. What a group. All the men and women who serve in our military are exceptional. Its great to see them enjoying this happiness in the face of adversity. And have that bond together. Fantastic. Erica, great story, thank you. Now we turn to our weeklong series viva today. Celebrating hispanic heritage month. According to the u. S. Census, there are 54 million latinos in the u. S. Thats 17 of the population. But by 2050 the hispanic population will total 132 million. Thats 30 of the population. So were taking a look at hispanic heritage and culture and what it all means for the changing face of america. Reporter at 54 million, hispanics are the fastestgrowing population in america and the youngest. One in four new births are hispanic and nearly one in five millennials. They are projected to become the largest by 2043 has profound implications. With size comes power and influence. Reporter there are 37 hispanic members in congress including two sisters california representative linda and loretta sanchez. 1. 1 million hispanics are veterans of the u. S. Armed forces. And 16 of newly enlisted active duty members of the military are hispanic. Hispanics are also having an impact on the economy. They outspend nonhispanic on electronics, clothing, groceries, and beauty projects. And of course latinos are influencing our culture from music to the world of fashion. Everyone from herrera and Oscar De La Renta to rodriguez whos at the forefront of fashion today. Reporter to hollywood. There is still no one who wields more power and influence than jennifer lopez. She has paved the way for so many other latinas to have similar success. Reporter to even our kitchen tables. Look at what the most popular condiment is in america. Its not ketchup or mustard. It is salsa. That directly speaks to the influence hispanics have on the american culture. Reporter hispanics are the most active group on social media. Staying connected has always been one of the signature characteristics of the hispanic population. Now with technology that has evolved at rapid speed. Reporter and latino youths are having a profound impact on social media. Its exciting to see this young latino population develop its voice and develop as a force for change and for positivity. Reporter shaping our culture and changing the face of america. From the irish who came in to the italians who came in and now hispanics dominating the story, i think that its only going to make the tapestry of American Life that much richer. So were all changing. Im puerto rican and brazilian. And im sitting next to a muy caliente. Im a Firm Believer that if the a cloth has the same kind of thread, same color, same texture, it would be a dull looking tapestry. I think our beauty and strengths in our differences. Youre going to bring out a lot of your calienteness in the 9 00 hour. Stay tuned. What do you hope people take away from this series . What do you think people watching at home will learn from this . That hispanics are really part of the culture of the mainstream already. We put our hearts we are decent, hard working people. We want to change this perception. This is a celebration, an appetite for what is going to be the heritage celebration month coming up. Were doing a lot this week to highlight how much the face of america is changing. When you see some of those statistics and you talk about things, for example, for salsa outselling ketchup. And you talk about tortillas outselling bread. It shows you were out in full force. 54 million hispanics is a big number. And 130 million in four years is going to be a force to reckon with. And instead of fighting, we have to welcome it. We act accordingly and live accordingly. Join us on the vivatoday. And we cant wait to see you in the 9 00 hour. W good morning, im tracy davidson. Looking at a steamy labor day.

Former professional boxer layla ali is the youth tennis spokesperson. Nice to see you. Nice to see you as well. Shocking statistic, one in three children. I know. Unfortunately these kids are likely to live shorter less healthy lives than their parents. So whats the first step here . How do we attack this problem . We know there is technology, video games. How do we get kids active . The problem is the obesity and the diseases these kids have, we have to keep them more active. The key is trying to get kids involved in sports and physical activity at a young age to get them hooked. They are using foam balls and small racquets and the court is shorter. I want my kid to be focused on having fun not necessarily the technique. But i appreciate theyre making it easier to learn the technique. Some shows are active but they give it up at an earlier age. I played sports every day of my life. How do you keep them doing it . I played tennis as a kid but i quit because it got technical. I think tennis is a great sport for kids to play. They are making it easier for them to play. These kids are good by the way. Im going to grab a racquet. Oh, lord. You always want to challenge me every time. I put on the boxing gloves and she mocked me openly. Luckily this is not my sport but i am a competitor and athlete so i will kick your butt in anything. I dont doubt that. Also not going to trash talk with an ali. Yeah dont. You came right at me. Trying to get into me. Ready . Uhoh. That comes down hard. These little balls we told you about. So in case i do hit you in the head with one, it wont hurt. You got me. Thats what i get. Be careful, theyre kids. We got a replay here, im told . Okay. So tell me about free play. Its a program that the usta is doing. They can go to youth tennis. Com. Families can find out about it. Find places around the country where all these opportunities will be there for them to play for free. I think its a great idea. Thanks, guys. Up next, the moment youve been waiting for.

Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this beautiful monday morning, the first day of september. It is labor day 2014. Hope youre having a wonderful Holiday Weekend. Im willie geist along with Natalie Morales. We are fortunate this morning to have Maria Celeste joining us at the table all week long. Its longtime overdue. You used to visit us every once in awhile back. We brought in maroon 5 for you. We called them and said theyd be in. All my friends said youre going to be with the sexiest man alive from 2013. Now hes the sexiest married man. Yeah. A lot of long faces out there after the wedding. First time he was wearing his wedding band on the microphone. There he is. I noticed that too. All the girls were making sure he was wearing the band. I didnt notice that. That crowd out there, when we got here this morning we said wow. In fact, jenna wolfe was trying to make her way in, she couldnt get through the crowd. Adam and the guys here promoting their fifth studio album. And they will have another song coming up in this hour. Theres been a lot of rough weather this labor day weekend. Unsettled weather out there. Torrential downpours here along the east coast with flooding, Lightning Strikes even. In the midwest they dealt with damaging winds, large hail in parts of iowa, nebraska, and kansas. Its going to be something were watching again. Dylan will give us the forecast in just a little bit. And it got hot all of a sudden. Waited until the end of summer. Had this cool, nice summer here in the new york area. Now its hot and muggy. I almost didnt make it because of the weather. It was so windy we were circling around new york for almost an hour and a half. I said after all this im not going to make it for viva today. You made it. In one piece. As i was picking out what i was going to wear this morning, it was labor day so i thought is this the last day i can wear white. And immediately pulled out an all white outfit. Im all for breaking rules but people will point out if youre not wearing something appropriately enough after labor day. I dont know. Maria youre in a different part of the world. In miami you break rules all the time. Its funny because in miami we do everything to pretend we dont have an eternal summer. We take advantage of the one day that is 50 degrees in miami and we wear everything fall. So we dont really wear white. However in puerto rico where i was born, you can wear white all year long. In the hispanic world we have the perception that wearing white makes you look fat. We try to stay away from it. I think theres some truth to that. You can wear it. Sometimes i shun white. Especially the lower half of me. So youre going to roll the dice and go white after labor day this year . They say its out the window. I think you can wear a white blouse or top. The white jeans, maybe pack them away. It depends on the fabric also. I think the color of the winter white. If its white white, its different. The ivory look. Fine. Ill wear my white suit tomorrow. White cargo pants you wore on the show once. I wish they were cargo. They were capris. I think white is a lucky color. This is a good trivia. More miss universes have been crowned wearing a white gown than any other color. Well, if youre in the competition, wear white now. I did not see that coming. That is a great factoid. Its innocent. I dont know. Right . Its like a bride. Stands out in the crowd. It sure does. Like red. This story is alarming. A lot of you probably read about this today. More than a hundred celebrities had their phones hacked from the cloud. Were all in the cloud these days. Nude photos first posted on the site. Celebrity targets included Jennifer Lawrence, kate upton, kirsten dunst. A rep for Jennifer Lawrence said this is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence. Another responded on twitter. To those of you looking at photos i took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our own home, hope you feel great about yourself. I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked. Victoria justice denied any of the photos were of her saying these socalled nudes of me are fake, people. Let me nip this in the bud. Pun intended. We reached out to apple for comment in this. But no word back. Creepy b indeed. Theyre threatening to post more. Right. And some of the know tphotos selfies or taken by somebody else. The concern is obviously i always feel like the cloud just seems like this ominous, what is the cloud . Everything gets backed up on the cloud these days. If they can hack the cloud for photos, they can hack for your Bank Information and Everything Else you store in your computer. I didnt realize, too, texts come up on the cloud. So if my wife is on her ipad and somebody texts me, that comes up on her screen. I got nothing to worry about, but its all nup the cloud. I think you can disengage that aspect. You can . How do you do that . I just know these things. Walk me through that after the show. This is scary knowing that people are able to do that and then post them. There were some celebrity sites who put the pictures up and then took them down. Ariana grande was one of them. Were not showing the pictures for obvious reasons, but theyre out there. And you hope they can track down whoever did this and they can pursue this person. Because this is clearly an invasion of privacy. All right. So not that we care to oust anyone for bad driving, but apparently boston is home to some of the worst drivers of any u. S. Big city. Sorry, guys, but this is according to all state insurance company. A boston driver on average will get into a collision every 4. 4 years. Best drivers they say are in phoenix. So get into a collision every nine and a half years or so. Have you ever been in a crash . Oh, yeah. Im sure youre an extremely good driver. When i was young i hacked a couple trees with my cars. You god lucky. You crash ever . I have crashed. But not every four years. Im not a boston member. Miami is not good for driving. No, its not. I wanted to know i failed to check it out. But ill keep you posted. Its interesting because there was a particular incident of a colorado woman that was driving and texting at the same time. She alleges she was using the voice text app and then all of a sudden she looked down to make sure it was accurate before she pressed send and at that point she hit a guardrail and the pole went through her piercing her thigh and her buttocks. Apparently shes doing to be okay. This is a photo of what they had to remove from her. She was in the parking lot of her daughters middle when this happened. Apparently now shes been through surgery and is going to be okay. Lets see if weve got some sound on that. Im truly a miracle. They said if it had gotten just a lult bit the other way i would have bled out. Devastating knowing that i could have prevented it to begin with. Crazy. The firefighters had to saw off the front and back ends of the pole to get her out of the car to begin with. Theres a reason not to text and drive right there. How often are you sitting in your car and you look over at the other drivers when youre basically at a stand still at a traffic light and it seems like everybody is checking their phone in that instance. Even if youre stopped you still need to be present. Not even a second looking away from the road. Its illegal in most states. Youre lucky its at the spotlight. A lot of times its down the road. What i find interesting even though theres this horrible accident, were so social media oriented that afterwards they took a picture. Yes. As we mentioned maria is here part of our in additiontive this week viva today. Celebrating hispanic culture as we head towards National Hispanic heritage month. Thats september 15th to october 15th. There are 53 million hrispanics in america. And its rising. And hispanics as you told us this morning are transforming our culture and politics. Economy. You would think we dont have television at home. We do. We do. But you know what . Were Firm Believers in family. We like to have big families and have them be very united. Thats our strength as an ethnic group. I feel more and more hispanics a lot of time people say to me you dont look hispanic. I was like well what does a hispanic look like to you . We come in all different shapes, sizes, colors of our skin, colors of our eyes. Its very different. There are hispanics from so many different i mean, there are so many different hispanics out there. You cant put a stereotype on them. You cant. Theyre all different. The other day i was reading an article about a governor mistakenly spoke to a student addressing immigration and he immediately thought he was referring to an undocumented immigrant. That wasnt the case. It turned out to be a person that has legal papers in order and everything. You can never assume. I cover politics in the other half of my life and both parties its their number one priority. Getting ahead of this shift. Youre not, if you dont woo hispanic voters youre screwed moving forward. We have to just embrace it. Absolutely. Lets get a check of the weather now from dylan. Whats going on over there . More storms on this Holiday Weekend. We had wild weather yesterday and we are going to see more storms fire up. Especially back through the midwest today. Look at missouri right now. We had intense storms move out of kansas. Theyve weakened a bit and they werent severe in nature. But they still produced torrential downpours. Its very dangerous. We are going to see widespread scattered showers and storms. Some could produce some hail and damaging wind gusts. Its in this area in red into michigan where we could see our strongest storms today. Into st. Louis. Indianapolis included in that as well. Those will fire up later on this afternoon and into this evening. Here you see right around 9 00, 10 00, right through st. Louis. Thats when were expecting some of our heaviest storms to move through. But also watch out for flash flooding. Some of these areas could end up with 2 to 3 inches of rain falling in a thats a look at the w good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. A steamy start after showers and thunderstorms last night. Going it be a hot one this afternoon. Highs in the upper 80s and low 9 os and a chance of more showers and possibly thunderstorms popping up today. The shower threat, it will be back tomorrow. Look at the temperature 94 degrees tuesday afternoon. The showers take a break, but wednesday, thursday and right on into the weekend with more showers and thunderstorms possible saturday into sunday. Have a great day. And thats your latest forecast. Back over to you guys. Thanks a lot. Coming up next, get ready to mark our calendars. We will look at the start of garth brooks world tour. And much more with maria after garth brooks world tour. And much more with maria after this. And for many, its a struggle to keep your a1c down. So imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar . Imagine, loving your numbers. Introducing oncedaily invokana®. Its the first of a new kind of prescription medicine thats used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Invokana® is a oncedaily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. Heres how the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. Invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. And while its not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. Invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. This may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. Do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. Using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. Its time. Lower your blood sugar with invokana®. Imagine loving your numbers. Ask your doctor about invokana®. Fousugar. Only six . Ns. Six grams of sugar . Thats really good. Excellent, delicious. And yummy honey bunches of oats. Tasty yummy start of a new month, were going to help you get yore calendars filled up with red hot entertainment. From the return of football to barbara streisand, theres a bunch to keep us busy. Entertainment weekly host is here. Youre starting off with a bang. Garth brooks going on tour. A lot of people have been waiting for this. Absolutely. This is a guy in 2000 said im taking time off. I want to raise my three daughters. Hes back with a world tour which is technically just two cities in america, but he does not need to be constrained by mere words like world. And hes got a special guest. Tricia yearwood his wife. You know the saying, happy wife, happy tour. Very wise. Coming up this sunday, sunday night football is back. That means its nfl season. Sunday night football is back. Its the biggest night on tv. Forget the oscars, the emmys. Its all about sunday night. The previous thursday kicks off football with the seahawks, the super bowl champs playing. So i would like to personally thank the nfl for two nights when i will fight with my husband over clicker control. Thats right. Not fans of football . Im a fan of other things. We also have pitbull and Enrique Iglesias gearing up for a tour. Their last tour made more than 30 million. And when they announced this tour on twitter, it was trending within minutes worldwide which im sure did not hurt pitbulls ego as he refers to himself as mr. Worldwide. Theyre very good friends. He always says he likes to go to pitbull on tour because he goes to bed after the concert but pitbull doesnt allow it. Partying afterwards. This is going to be a big film. The drop starring the late james gandolphinis last performance. Its just so, so sad because it is his final film performance. Very believable here. Babs comes out with a new album. This is amazing.

But now moderate wine drinking is only protective in people who exercise. The study followed 150 adults with mild to moderate risk of cardiovascular disease.

Happy labor day to all of you watching at home. Im here with natalie and Maria Celeste of telemundo. So whats in a name . One fight to have before your wedding. One says the biggest blowup happened over names. Specifically womens names on the wedding invitations. There was a hard time to find them to refer to them by their own first names opposed to the Old Fashioned mr. And mrs. Robert smith, for example. But its not just wedding invites. Mr. And mrs. Husbands name found on mail from alumni organizations, church group charities, junk mail marketers. We get it all the time. People just assume mr. And mrs. Joe rhodes in my case. And i do think its kind of old school. It would be nice, Natalie Moralesrhodes is my married name. That would be great. You like the full name . Yeah. I always get my last name. In latin countries most women take husbands last names in addition to their last names. Its like a middle name. Yes. It implies belongs to. That connotation that a woman has no value unless she belongs to a man kind of bothers me. I wonder how it would be for if willie geist would be willie geistsharky. Lets be clear. Everybody knows this. You dont have to write it. Lets make it official. Shes the same way. She moved her maiden name to be her middle name. And to do it with their kids. Like savannah did. It keeps an identity there. I did it with my children. I always say two names. I like it. You think im going to drop the hyphen. Then you have five names sometimes. Starting today im sharky. My problem is i get mail addressed to mr. Dylan dreyer. You have a different problem. Mine is a whole different issue. I want to refuse to pay the bill coming to mr. Dylan dreyer. We have storms today into the plain states. Kansas, oklahoma. We could see large hail like we saw yesterday a little further west. We could also see damaging wind gusts. Tornadoes would be isolated. Even up and down the east coast it is so unbearably humid up and down the east coast with the feels like temperature into the 90s. That could trigger a couple of storms later on today. Shouldnt be severe, but we could see still heavy downpours that cause some of that flash flooding like we saw yesterday. Back through the middle of the country were going to see that humidity drop. Temperatures look awesome in the upper 70s and low 80s. West coast looking nice as well. Below average in the Desert Southwest along the california coast. So it is looking like a nice day across the country through the western half of the good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. A steamy start after showers and thunderstorms last night. Its going it be a hot one this afternoon. Highs in the upper 80s and low 90s and a chance of more showers and possibly thunderstorms popping up today. The shower threat, it will be back tomorrow. Look at the temperature, 94 degrees tuesday afternoon. The showers take a break, but the heat stays with us for wednesday, thursday and right on into the weekend with more showers and thunderstorms possible saturday into sunday. Have a great day. And that is your latest forecast. Thanks very much. It is now time to put some old wives tales to the test. Thats right. Youve heard about Natural Remedies for just about everything from whitening your teeth and relieving muscle pain. So which one really works. Good morning. How are you . Ready for fun here . Absolutely. The first question here is which wild wives tale can help produce muscle cramping . We have orange juice, cranberry juice, or pickle juice. Let me know your answer by taking a sip of one of the shots. I know because of after the marathon i drank it. In a 2010 study they show that pickle juice can switch off the reflex that causes cramping. I hate pickle juice. So next which wild wives tale can help eliminate foot odor . We have soaking your food in vodka, rubbing your foot with a tennis ball, or spraying your foot with hair spray. All wrong. Soak your foot in vodka. Alcohol is alcohol whether its rubbing alcohol or drinking alcohol. Its a disinfectant. So just pour it in. Its an inexpensive way to do it. Something to do with hour, im guessing. Absolutely. Which remedy can help restore and rehydrate your hair . We have petroleum jelly, peanut butter, or avocado. For sure avocado. I agree with that. All winners. The avocado has healthy fats that help rehydrate your hair. You just rub it through your hair. Like a deep conditioner. Im sure you deep condition often. Constantly, yes. All right. Okay. So which one if you swish in your mouth can help reduce plaque and bacteria in your mouth . We have prune juice, coconut oil, and mashes bananas. Coconut oil. Im going to go bananas. Coconut oil. A lot of the celebrities are doing this now. Exactly. So coconut oil has antibacterial properties. Theres a chance it can reduce the omit of bacteria in your mouth as well. Speaking of whiter and brighter teeth, eating which of these can help whiten and rem e remooremove stains on the teeth . Vanilla pudding, strawberries or peanuts. You guys are cheating now. Strawberries. Theres an e stringent that helps it. Real quick lets do the last one. The last one, which one of these foods is also an aphrodisiac for men . We have hot sauce, Chocolate Covered Strawberries or pumpkin seeds. Im thinking the chocolate. Which one was this . Hot sauce. Im going with the hot sauce. Its pumpkin seeds. Not that we need any more. They have low levels of zinc. Im still going with chocolate. Thanks so much. My pleasure. Coming up next, were firing up the grill one last time today.

Were going to make an amazing burger. Packed full of flavor, super easy to make. Especially if youre grilling outdoors. Were going to start, youre going to help me. All right. Get it from the kitchen here. Im going to show you what the meat looks like. Im using ground chuck and add a bit of ground bacon. Im using a center cut that has more meat than fat. Im going to mix it together to give it that smokey flavor that bacon has but its inside the meat. Once its mixed up like that, were going to make some patties. We season of course with salt and pepper. I like to season directly on top of the burger. And season heavily . Why . Because were going to put the is in the grill and a lot of that seasoning is going to stay stuck to the grill. Were going to put that on the grill. Here is the trick. Im going to cook that 20 seconds. And every 20 seconds im going to start flipping the burger. Why . Because if i leave it on high heat, its going to burn. So i flip it constantly. What im doing is cooking and creating that beautiful crust on the outside but im keeping a very moist and juicy center. That is key. Every 20 seconds . 20 seconds. Wow. With the poblano peppers here . Yes. Im going to show you. To me theyre amazing. They have this amazing flavor. And im just going to char them a little bit. Then im going to bring them over to this side where what im going to do is just take a knife. The smell is just amazing. Were go i think to take the skin off. Its super simple.

Zimplt from nbc news this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hey, everybody. Welcome, welcome. Its fun day monday, but not just any monday. Its september 1st. Its happy labor day. Happy labor day. This is one of those things. A lot of people are going to be on the road traveling home today, so were going to help you out here. Were going to tell you when the best time is to drive home because a lot of people are on the road. 34 million. Theyre traveling more than 50 miles from home. Then add millions more that are just going to see grandma down the street. Yes. Heres when you should not, not, not be on the road. I think people know this. 4 00 p. M. And 10 00 p. M. Yeah. Sfwroo well, sometimes you think, oh, ill go at 9 00. Thats late enough. Theyre saying the roads are going to be way congested between 4 00 and 10 00. Try to go before 4 00 or after 10 00. Heres the other thing too, though. Its so weatherdependent. If its been a beautiful weekend, nobody wants to leave. They ju want those last, last rays. Try to pull yourself away and get hfd the game. I always leave early on my last day of vacation. You do . Yeah. Because i like to have i dont like to get home late and then rush off to work. Too much can go wrong. Travelocity. Com says these are the three most popular cities to visit over on labor day. Here they are. Los angeles. Seattle. Number one the number one city to visit is new york city. Yeah. Theyre all great. Of course. We want to play a little game. These are always fun. Were going to ask if you can spot the celebrities because a lot of celebs, weve intrufd, they said they got their break in a commercial. If it hadnt have been for commercials, i would have starved to death in los angeles. Ready to leave the whole business. I was working as a singer in vegas and stuff like that, but i hadnt gotten any acting. Bloo what milit what commercial did do you . I did lysol, anything with food in it or required singing. I didnt get them for a year. Then all of a sudden i got five. You got a lot. Here it is. The website the daily dot tracked down. The daily dot. Lets see if you can name the celebs that did commercials. This is for preparation h. I love that stuff. With the oxygen action of preparation h. Pure oxygen shrinks flaming red tissues as it often relieves pain and itch for hours. It is. Preparation h. Whats the guy on breaking bad. Brian cranston. Oh, my oh, we cant see the sidebyside. He is such a sweetheart. Thats that was shocking. Timber of his voice is so much higher. This is browns chicken. Big news for browns chicken. Cholesterol free oil. We now have cholesterol free batter too, so our chicken is cooked completely cholesterolfree. It tastes just as great as always. We figure a lot of people would like our new healthier way of cooking, but quite frankly, the response has been better than we had anticipated. Browns chicken, it tastes better and its better for you. Steve correll. Isnt that amazing to see what they were like then . Still has personality. Remember bubble yum bubble gum. My favorite. Lets see who it is. This is a chunk of super soft bubble yum bubble gum. Leo decaprio. Leo decaprio. Yeah, i can see it. Big mouthbusting bubble yum. Keeps it popping. Leonardo decaprio. Isnt that something . Oh, my gosh. That is so cool to see how people began. I love seeing that. Everybody hopes. People pay their bills doing commercials out there while theyre waiting for their big break on everything. Remember john hamm was here a couple of weeks ago, and he said he did the espy awards commercial, and thats what got him so funny. Its always nice to know where someone began. Heres a question for you. From glamour making sfwleen. Do you tell your coworkers how much money you make . Do you know . Do you share it with friends . Now that i guess glamour is saying its sort of like not so much tabu anymore to talk about your salary. I think its very tacky, but they say threefourths of women have discussed how much money they have made with your best friend. Maybe youre trying to say you want to get ahead in the world and you want to get a raise, and you say how do i go to my boss and im making this, and i need i can see how it would come out with a best friend, but talking to coworkers. I think you did this for me once. You said to me i wont you said, look, if youre not making x, youre you know, you arent making what you should be making. You know what i mean. I gave you an amount. You gave me an amount. Did that help in your negotiations. Nobody listens to me. Okay . At least i had an idea. You know what, my dad used to say to me. You know what something is worth. I say what . Whatever something is willing to pay for it. Find out what youre worth in the marketplace. Youll find out. You know what, if you want to i had this with karen. She was doing a job that i originally had, and i told her exactly what i was making during that job. That makes sense, though. To help them out. Thats different. First of all, yeah, you are just going to cause all kinds of problems. There are already big problems in the world war i place. Right. Dont we know it . All right. That number is doubled. You know why that is, hoda, because everybodys junk as you say is out there. Everybody talks about everything. When your sex life is no longer sacred to people, youll talk about every aspect of that, then why not talk about what you make . I dont think people are older having sex and making your money that way. Then you know then its all fine. All right. Lets move on. Heres another study, and tell us if you think this is true, though. They say that women with masculine names that are easy to pronounce move up more quickly in the business world. Like if your name is joe or joe ann. What about arianna huffington. Bobbi thomas. You can think of people with masculine names, and maybe men have an easier time with it. I dont think that i guess they say its true. I think its the individual and their what theyre capable of doing. Martha stewart. They had a very particular gift and brand, and her name could have been steve, and she would have you know . But your name can like i remember being younger and wanting to wish my name away. There are sometimes if its too weird, its not easy. I understand that in your case because it was its its a very unusual name, and people were butchering it all the time. Yes. You even added an e. Kotb. That didnt work. Sounds like hoda kotb. You know what. You know what. Heres the thing that can work the other direction for you. I originally started out in this business with Kathie Epstein was my maiden name, and then when i did name that tune they thought it was a little too they said that it was a little too leer cal. You mean its a little ethnic. Lets be honest. Would you mind i had just gotten married. Would you mind using your married name . It was johnson. I didnt care. Then there was already a kathie johnson, so i had to use my middle name. Kathie lee. After all of a sudden i became kathie lee, everybody thought i was from the south. Yes. And love that. I think that was also a little bit of, oh, youve got three names. Thats just precious. What are you stupid . I think there was a little of that. I do. I think theres a tendency. The other direction too. If you have a middle initial, people tend to think that you are more intelligent and more learned. You know what, youre right. You know what, youre right. Samuel l. Jackson. How did you think of that . Were losing brain cells and everything. It is speak for yourself. We have to show the video of the cat. Lets look at it someplace else. Theres a cat that now knows how to use a water cooler, which is trouble for the family. Lets take a look. Oh, thats amazing. Look. Is he taking a drink . No, just letting it run out. Thats the hot side. Got to be careful. Oh, my god. Look. Oh, look. He puts his naim face in. Oh. Maybe it was hot. Thats incredible. They had to put a towel down. Anyway, how cute. Favorite things. Mine is this bra. It looks like its industrial strength. It is soma, and they start at they are so comfortable. Yeah, they are. You know what, theyre just they have underwire, but not so hard. Theyre absolutely great bras. Is that for you . Yeah. Sad. Double barrel banger. Thats called menopause right there. Right there. Its ugly. Except its pretty in the soma bra. A drink my sister made for me. It is you got like how about that . Its got frozen blueberries, a frozen banana, two cups of vanilla almond milk. Its got rice protein power, flak seed in it. I think she took it from dr. Ozs website. Lost a lot of weight on it, right . If you get the protein you need in the morning, youre full. Its filling. It doesnt have tons of calories. Really. I like its not too sweet. It has the sugarfree milk in it. You think that i can i have one of these every morning . Heres a question for you. How much should you sacrifice for others . Well tell you why giving a little is really good. How to look like you walked out of a salon with drugstore color. Louis licari has some secrets. First, these messages. Low price.

Brilliant color. Visibly improved hair. Color after color. Were back, and were talking about the little sacrifice that is we make for the people who mean the most to us. Yes. Sometimes life doesnt always go the way we plan, just like the scene from the family man starring nicolas cage and tia leonie. I pick the kids up and walk the dog, which carries the added bonus of carting away her monstrous crap. I play with the kids, take out the garbage, get six hours of sleep, if im lucky, and then everything starts all over again. So whats in it for me . Oh. So how much should we sacrifice for the people we love . What does it teach us about ourselves . Hear what some answers are with m. Gary newman, psychotherapist and creator of the neuman method, creating your best marriage, and renee sylar of the good enough mother. Com. How good to see you both. That man is nicolas cage, but you dislike the man for doing what people pray to become fathers, right . They do. Well, the fact is we all know that sacrifice is absolutely necessary to anything youre going to get positive out of life. Heres the problem. Most people think that sacrifice alone should give me something. Its not true. We always have to empower ourselves by thinking what am i going to do that is pro active and positive to make my sacrifice worthwhile and to give myself a better life . In that book he is keeping score, and thats one of the things you look at the guy and you think to yourself youre counting this . You want me to count. I do the dish washer. Then i think that defeats the whole purpose of sacrificing. It has to eminate from you. Its something that you want to do selflessly. Its something that youre doing for the greater good or the greater cause. Im sacrificing, as you pointed out, in your article, and im sacrificing dating other people so that i can be in my marriage. You have to feel like you are saying that are you getting something positive from it. Dont we all have maybe some of us have long fuses. When its over, its over. Youre not going to clean it up everybody elses mess one more time. You dont thats the point. I dont believe you can get to that place. I think you better speak up long before it gets to that place. Very little change sometimes. A lot of times you really make a point. Heres a story. When is sacrifice a problem . When i feel that im losing myself in the process. No one appreciates you. Thats a problem too. Well, listen, a lot of times talk about kids. Father of five. Parenting, you better not a lot of times its delayed gratification, but in a marriage, in a relationship its not really like that. I mean, you want to feel on a regular basis that youre receiving the warmth and nurturing and love by going without other things. I feel like sacrifice seems negative. I feel like if i loved, you know, my husband and he got a job somewhere else, i would go and i wouldnt say, look what i gave up. Im not sure if i put my head in that space of what i gave up. You are miserable if i think maybe sacrifice its become this dirty word, and it really doesnt have to be. Maybe we could call it a compromise because thats really the basis of good communication and good relationships is that you give a little, i give a little. There are givers in the world, and there are takers, and some people just will sit there forever and never and not even notice that you have done it night after night after night. Let me tell you Something Else. There are gives also who train takers to take more. You know how many times people bring something. Oh, no, no, thats too much. Dont do it. In that way some people are uncomfortable with their selfvalue. Having selfvalue does not mean youre selfish. We have to feel good enough about ourselves to take. Theres got to be a balance in your head that pretty much im giving and taking around the same amount wrfsh. Thats what happens. That happens in so many marriages. I really think that you have to this is why communication has to be open and honest. You have to be in a relationship where you feel like you can say, hey, im i am losing myself or, hey, i need time with my girlfriends, or i need time away from you. And be honest about that. Otherwise, you will get to that place that kathie lee says where you say i have had it. Then trying to come back from that is a whole different thing. Never say it if you cant take those words back. Its about being clear with communication and setting it up for success. When you say, oh, i would move with somebody and i would love him and be there. Well, the question is are you setting it up in that place for success so that the resentment comes when you dont have a plan and when you are giving, giving, and you are not taking care of yourself and receiving. You got to always keep that balance going. Thank you so much. Thanks so much, you guys. Could you be our fan of the week . You may be. Probably not. Doubtful. Youll know for sure right after this.

All you need are a few smart tip from today vibtor and host of house smart. Lou manfradini. Hes got a name that rhymes with bikini his real name is luigi. Yes, it is. Ready to get started . First up, Nicole Henderson from dallas, texas, asks im going to need to redo the caulking in my standup shower. I have no clue how to start. It is molded. Any advice . I think there are in pictures of her molded shower. Theyre not looking good. Oh, no, its not. All that mold needs to be cleaned out as best you can. Scrub it away like crazy. Then all the caulking in the corner needs to be cut away and peeled away. This little trick with the blue painters tape is how to get professional results. Lay the tape with a one inch gap. Use 100 silicone caulking. Its the best for controlling moisture, mold, and mildew. Once this is cut away, let this dry. Put a fan on it. How long . Overnight. Then its nice and dry. Then you start caulking. Within that glue, you can go ahead if you get a little bit too much on there, thats okay. This tape is going to help you. Once you make a nice bead like this, you take your finger, and you bring it across to get a nice clean line. Nice and even. See the smudge there . Thats okay. While its wet, you need to pull that tape. When you do, it will look perfect. You wont have that mold and mildew issue anymore. Lets move on. Diane jobs asks how to unclog a kitchen sink without using chemicals. Two choices. A plunger and a sink snake like this. One thing she didnt say in her question. This is a single sink, so theres just one drain down in the center. Obviously if theres water here with this plunger, youre going to go over the top and plunge away. However, if you have a double sink, the problem is when you plunge, the air comes up in the other sink. You have no force there. If you are Strong Enough, you are going to take the stopper for the other sink and hold it with one hand while you plunge with this. Thats not going to happen. Aushlly you need some help. You need someone to hold that down and plunge away. If that doesnt work, then a kitchen snake like this. See it has a little tip on it here. Thats like a curly q. Youre going to have to turn that into the drain so it screws into the drain, and then once it does, you go back and forth to loosen it, turn it some more, and then youre going to release what was caught in there, and it should flow. You buy one of those for all time. You just keep it. This works for all drains. Floor drains, sink drains. It really is a useful tool.

Would you do us a favor . Come this way. Weve got little desks for you. Who is up next . Natalia and joseph are here. When you get to elementary, junior high and high school, back to school style becomes a negotiation. I asked what the kids wanted to try, what trend . They wanted to try the preppie trend. Casual cool boyfriend jeans. Shes going on put on the blazer, and all of a sudden she transforms her look into the new prepster. A blue blazer. Then on joseph he wanted a lafk button down, a little grandpa inspired sweater. He wanted very cool accessories.

Theyre our junior high kids. Theyre offering up different trends. Nicole noted to try mixed prints. We did a great top from forever 21 and bright skirt. The one thing she said was no backpacks. For the little ones. She wanted a messenger bag. Dress to impress, huh . Then on claudia she wanted to try neutral with a twist. Great sweater and leggings from the gap, and then check out the cool pop of color on the sneakers from new balance. Then everyone is sporty, but you cant go to school sweats.

Youre going to want to stock up on. First, this is today on nbc. Coming up to test your money smarts with a game we like to call stock or stuff . Heres something to think about when are you doing back to school shopping. Is it better to spend money at the store, or invest that cash in the companys stock . Here to put us to the test again and give us some tips to get your kids interested in investing is cnbcs personal finance correspondent sharon eperson. Hey, sharon. Good morning, ladies. Really getting kids interested in stocks is something we should do this early . Definitely. Many schools are not teaching it. You have to be really basic about it. You have to say buying a stock is like owning part of the company, and tell them about your experience either buying a stock or shopping at a store. Maybe that can help them figure out what to do, and then actually buy them a stock. Oh, thats cool. You can do that. Then they can watch it and see how it fluctuates. See how the price goes up and down. Sfloot game were going to play, just to refresh your memory, if the stock price has gone up over the last year from august 1st of 2013 to august 1st of 2014, then youre going to say stock because you want the stock. If the stock price has gone down were ready. All right. Ary were going to start over here with a lot of sports gear. My 12yearold son cant buy enough sneakers, and finish line is a big retailer of a lot of sports gear. I dont know if you have heard of this company, but its a vendor in macys now. They have their own stores. There are big online retailers. Stock. I think i know what the company is. Its a sneaker. Abercrombie. This one you know. You know this is a big teen retailer. You know pa what do you think . Stock or stuff. I would say stuff because the ceo has gotten in a lot of trouble. An investment in a year ago, you would have lost a quarter of your money. You would probably want to stick with just buying the stuff. Every time i know. I remember. I remember. A lot of schools are using tablets to do their work, and theyre going to need the printer paper or whatever to hewlettpackard is this company. Do you think its stock or stuff . I think its stuff. You think its stuff. I think its stock. You should have said stock. I didnt get that one right. Meg whitman, the ceo. That stock is up about 34 . Wow. Because it has been under it has suffered a bit, right . Or no . Yeah. Now its doing at least in the last month or so its been doing pretty well. Staples where a lot of people are buying their back to school products. I love staples so im going to say stock. No. You probably love their stuff. Thats a good thing. Theres a lot of competition in this market. Amazon, walmart. Its gone down. Its gone down about onethird of its value in the last 12 months or so. Oh, my gosh. I didnt know that either. Now, a lot of parents know this brand. This is leapfrog. Young children stock, stock, and double stock. See . I dont like the game. Its down over 38 . Why . I never heard of them before. Again, theyre trying to let people know that theyre more than just the products. That they have services too. So theyre still trying to a broader odd wrens. Sfroo we each have one point. Okay .
