Since it's summer - and hot - and we've used a lot of terms associated with seasons and with weather. This week we've decided to take a bit of a twist on the theme.

We're looking for song lyrics/titles containing noun or verb versions of the following cooking terms often used to describe the kind of weather we're currently enjoying.

Boil
Broil
Bake
Simmer
Scorch
Scald
Toast

Edit: Fry is also allowed, but not in the Hayden application.

Last week's OTN was on the topic of Pride/Proud and can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-the-pride.292903

Your weekly host are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

I’m wanting to upgrade the TV in the bedroom. I currently have a Samsung 40”. Which I’ve had 10-12 years. Since I put a 75” LG in the living room I really have no desire to older tube. I upgraded to a Roku streaming/ sound bar to watch Marquee. So I think I want to go Roku in the bedroom probably 65”. I was wondering if I’m only going to use it to watch tv are the better versions worth it?

Curious as to why a thread with public info was merged into a thread that's behind a paywall ("requires an account upgrade").

I had no idea that Target Center is the second oldest in the NBA behind only MSG. That’s crazy.

Not sure where new arena will go but rumors of the farmers market always pop up.

King has some all time great novels. But by and large his movies are never as good as the books because the books are so long and character driven. It’s not a shock that most of his best movie adaptations are from his short stories (Shawshank, Stand By Me, The Mist, Green Mile was a serial novel).

His best works are often over 1000 pages. ‘It’ the mini series was garbage (sorry) and the two 3 hour movies recently were fine but still nowhere near the greatness of the book.

Now ‘The Stand’ is yet again getting another adaptation but I’m cautiously optimistic. I think their choice for a director is a great one.

But if this is gonna be one movie it won’t be good unless it’s over 6 hours long. Haha.

Love the cftv daily! I listen on p9cket casts. The volume for this is much lower than the ads, or other cf podcasts. Anyone else experiencing audio issues?

Question. We are currently upgrading our website and forums.

Does anybody actually use the XenForo sports book platform on here anymore? Trying to decide if I should upgrade it or just punt and get rid of it.

This news was broken in a CF mafia thread but I thought it deserved it's own thread for those who might not check the mafia thread.

Last Friday CF member @Farnsworth passed away.

He heavily participated in gaming part of this site but that's far from all he was.

He often pitched ideas to us at On That Note and participated in OTN threads.

But most of all he came to CF for the reason the majority of us are here in that he loved Iowa State.

He was a CF OG as he goes back to 2006. I never got to meet him in person but we had very candid pm conversations which I will treasure.

He was only 81!

Teen idol of long ago.
"Julie, do ya love me?" is one song I remember, and who could forget "Here Come the Brides" show?

Maybe we need a celebrity death forum these days.

I just read in the KC Star that Ben Askren is in the hospital with a serious bout of pneumonia. Doctors are even considering a lung transplant. While I wasn’t a fan of his when he was helping to make Mizzou an actual wrestling program, my prayers go out for his full recovery.

I'm still bummed about Tyrese's injury, and heard he had successful torn achilles repair surgery yesterday, Monday. I ran across this and thought we could give some thoughts and love also, to another Pacer, and Iowa State great, Jamaal Tinsley. What a fun player to watch!

Any chance on getting Bo Bassett?

Jefferson is our top returning scorer, so he is the favorite though I think it will be Milan. From last year:
Jefferson - 13 PPG
Milan - 11.5 PPG
Tamin - 10.6 PPG
Heise - 5.1 PPG

Incoming transfers:
Buchanan - 5.4 PPG
Mulder - 8.4 PPG
