   Oil large bowl and set aside.  Pour warm water into
   another large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and stir to
   dissolve. Blend in milk, shortening, sugar and salt.
   Add 3 cups flour and beat until smooth. Add enough
   remaining flour to form a workable dough. Turn dough
   onto a lighlty floured surface and knead until smooth
   and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough into
   oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a
   damp towel and let stand in a warm draft free place
   until doubled, about an hour. Grease two large baking
   sheets.  Punch down dough. Turn onto lightly floured
   surface and roll out into a 12 x 18 rectangle. Spread
   with butter. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, nuts,
   raisins and cinnamon. Starting with a long side, roll
   up jelly roll style. Cut into slices slightly over 1
   inch thick. Arrange on prepared baking sheets, tucking
   ends of dough under. Let stand in a warm draft free
   area until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
   Preheat oven to 350 and bake rolls until golden, about
   25 to 30 minutes. Prepare icing while rolls are
   baking...Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and
   beat until smooth, using only enough orange juice to
   thin for spreading or drizzling...Spread or drizzle
   while rolls are still hot. Serve warm or at room
   temperature Makes 16
