WHAT IS CUDDLE PARTY®? (From CuddleParty.com) Cuddle Party® is … a workshop! Though touch is natural, the skills that make it welcome and enjoyable should be learned. The skills of communication, boundary setting, asking for what you want, and saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ with clarity and kindness are practiced. Cuddle Party® is led by trained and certified Cuddle Party® Facilitators. That’s me, Amanda. This workshop is to guide you into those skills gently and easily, in a fun, safe and light hearted, nurturing way. It is to welcome you and create an atmosphere of respect, and remain available for questions and support.

🍜 Hainan Chicken, Noodles at Nandao 🍜

Sun, Oct 18, 2:30 AM

This time we’re heading to **Nandao Rice & Noodle**, a newer Monterey Park spot specializing in Singaporean-style Hainan chicken rice, noodles, wontons and a few things that sound suspiciously like we’re going to order way too much food. Their **Hainan chicken rice** is the headliner: tender poached chicken, savory rice and three sauces that give you plenty of opportunity to pretend you know exactly which combination is correct. The braised beef noodle soup, spicy pork-and-shrimp wontons and chicken lime cold noodles have also been getting a lot of attention. The *LA Times* recently went so far as to call Nandao one of its favorite SGV spots right now. [Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2026-09-10/best-hainan-chicken-in-la-nandao-rice-noodle?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Yelp diners have been praising the tender Hainan and soy-sauce chicken, flavorful rice, friendly service and seasoning, which is usually a much better sign than a restaurant describing its own food as "mouthwatering." [Roadtrippers](https://maps.roadtrippers.com/us/monterey-park-ca/food-drink/nandao-rice-noodle-monterey-park-ca--0) So come hungry. Order something you've never tried, steal recommendations from the person next to you, and meet some new people over bowls of carbs and meat. Basically civilization at its finest. **Yelp:** [Nandao Rice & Noodle on Yelp](https://www.yelp.com/biz/nandao-rice-and-noodle-monterey-park?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **RSVP Info:** Space is limited, so RSVP early.

Releasing insights from data: quarrying vs. sculpting When Michelangelo surveyed a block of marble, he saw a figure trapped inside; his goal was to release the figure that in his mind was already there. Research involves not only “quarrying” (obtaining) blocks of experimental, computational, or theoretical data but more importantly releasing the insights trapped within. For example, every student of physics learns about the H atom spectrum and every student of combustion learns about the 3 explosion limits of the H2-O2 system - but why these blocks of data? Because, trapped within the spectrum and the wiggly curve are critical, unequivocal insights - that energy levels of matter are quantized and that H2-O2 combustion proceeds through two entirely different sets of intermediates depending on temperature and pressure. In those two famous examples the insights and their significance are “obvious” given the benefit of years of hindsight - what important insights are trapped inside freshly quarried data? The focus of this interactive seminar is on examples of and methods for sculpting data into works of insight. Starting with the aforementioned case studies the audience’s sculpting skill will be challenged with case studies from both the presenter’s own work (some not yet published) and elsewhere within combustion research community, with an emphasis on examples where the insights were both difficult to sculpt and led to counterintuitive insights. Prof. Paul D. Ronney Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 Paul Ronney is a Professor and former Chair of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at USC. Prof. Ronney received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, an MS in Aeronautics from Caltech, and a Sc.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. He held postdoctoral appointments at the NASA Lewis Research Center and the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory and a position as Assistant Professor at Princeton University before assuming his current position at USC. He was a Payload Specialist Astronaut (Alternate) for Space Shuttle Missions STS-83 and STS-94 in 1997. Professor Ronney's research areas include micro-scale combustion, turbulent combustion, internal combustion engines, microgravity combustion and fire spread. He has had experiments flown on three Space Shuttle missions. In recognition of his achievements, he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Combustion Institute, an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors.
