1/4 cbutter,softened

1 tspmilk
How to Make Easy Cinnamon Rolls!
- In your bread machine pan, place the first 9 ingredients in order they are listed.
- Set machine to Dough cycle and press start. (How long it takes for the Dough will depend on your machine.)
- when Dough cycle has finished,turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and let it rest while you prepare the filling (in next step.)
- in a bowl stir together the brown sugar,white sugar,Cinnamon and raisins. Mix with your hands if you have to. Breaking up any clumps of sugar. Set it aside while you roll out your Dough.
- Roll out dough to a 17x10 inch rectangle. It will have elasticity . It will take a little time to roll it out. ( I just try to make it as rectangle as possible.) Spread softened margarine over rolled out dough. Sprinkle the sugar mix over the dough as even as you can..
- Roll up the dough, (I roll from the wide end but you can roll from the short end if you like.) It rolls into a long log. I tuck in the ends as I roll. (pinching it a little to keep the goodies in.)
- Take a long piece of dental floss and use it to cut your rolls. Place it under the roll at one end, in about one inch, cross the ends and pull. It will cut the rolls off the log. ( or use a sharp knife)About 16 rolls. Depends on how wide you cut.
- Spray a 9x13 pan( I use glass ) with a cooking spray. Lightly. Place the rolls cut side up in the pan. Give them a little room to grow. I always ended up using 2 pans.. one more smaller one for extra rolls.
- Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 45 min. Let them get to almost double there size. ( I waited like 20 min. and mine still came out fine.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) cook for 15 - 20 minutes.
- let them sit for about 5 minutes. (I turned mine out on to a large plate.) Cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment would work. turning them out of pan on too a cookie sheet, lets the gooey sugar run to the top of buns. Cool off enough so the frosting will not melt and run off.
- While rolls are baking, mix together soft cream cheese, soft butter, vanilla and milk. Add confectioners sugar and blend until smooth. You can add a few drops of milk at a time to get your desired consistency for frosting. I used a pastry bag but you can just spread it on.. Warm not hot rolls.
- ENJOY> I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN ADDING WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO THE ROLL> Cream cheese and fruit work well. in place of the raisins and or sugar..

Imagine a world where banks can appeal to the highest office in the land for help if some pesky financial regulator tries to tell them what to do.
It's easy if you try: In fact, there is a bill slouching its way through the Senate right now that would give the president of the United States the power to slam the brakes on new regulations that banks find insufficiently lenient, The New York Times wrote on Monday. Update: Scott Patterson at the Wall Street Journal wrote about this late on Friday.
The bill, introduced by Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), would give some future POTUS -- presumably not the current White House occupant, whom we all know is a bank-hating socialist -- the power to call for a prolonged study of any possible side effects of new regulations.
The current POTUS may already have this power, the NYT notes. And regulators are already supposed to do cost-benefit analyses of new rules they create. Never mind all that; the important thing here is that this legislation would create yet another helpful roadblock, another tactic to delay bank reforms for months while lawyers haggle.
"This legislation would give Wall Street lobbyists another powerful set of tools to delay and derail the implementation of financial safeguards that are needed to protect our economy," the nonprofit group Americans for Financial Reform wrote in a letter to Congress opposing the bill.
Another nonprofit group, Better Markets, today called the bill "a breathtaking, almost inconceivable power give-a-way by Congress to the White House" and "one of the worst ideas from Congress in decades," which is saying something.
The NYT says the bill's future is "uncertain," with Congress unlikely to act on it any time soon. Well, certainly not now anyway, now that the NYT has noticed its existence. But don't think the banks are going to give up on it. This is just the latest in a string of examples of Wall Street pushing back -- with the help of millions in campaign donations and lobbying money -- against new rules Congress and regulators have tried to impose in the wake of the financial crisis.
In fact, just last week, the American Bankers Association formed a SuperPAC to help funnel cash to Senate candidates that want to weaken the Dodd-Frank financial-reform act.
The financial industry has already muddied and delayed Dodd-Frank. It has successfully fought an effort by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reform the money-market industry. It has pushed back efforts by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to regulate credit-default swaps and derivatives trading. With the help of the aforementioned socialist, President Obama, it has rolled back investor protections put in place after the dot-com bubble.
And why does the financial industry have so much cash to spare? It helps that the Obama administration, in what we can only assume is an effort to mask its incorrigible socialism, has docked the industry all of $2 billion in penalties for crisis-causing shenanigans. Compare that to the $200 billion in bonuses Wall Street paid its top executives between 2003 and 2011, according to the nonprofit group Better Markets, and you get a sense for how little the industry's ability to buy politicians and regulators has been crimped.
Meanwhile, those same bank executives have not been bothered -- and apparently won't ever be bothered, according to a report this weekend by the Huffington Post's Ben Hallman -- by criminal charges arising from the financial crisis. Not having to worry about going to prison leaves them plenty of time to think of ways to fight financial regulation.
But don't come away from this thinking that there are no consequences for bank wrongdoing. Far from it: The Wall Street Journal reports that JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup are giving serious thought to trimming the size of the bonuses of top executives at those banks. Why are these banks daring to take a machete to the sacred bonus cow? In the case of JPMorgan, it's because executives oversaw an embarrassing trading loss in credit derivatives. In the case of Citigroup, they came up with an executive pay package so ridiculously untethered from the bank's performance that even typically sheepish shareholders rebelled against it.
But JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who has long been the nation's loudest voice in the wilderness crying about the evils of regulation, needn't worry about actually getting his pay cut, the WSJ notes: JPMorgan's paymasters "are grappling with the question of how to [cut bonuses] without drastically reducing the executives' take-home pay."
Yes, it is important not to reduce anybody's pay too much. Those lawmakers aren't going to pay for themselves! Unless you ask nicely, maybe.

Nguyen (left) with his idol. Date unknown.
Happens every time: Just when you think everything's going right—making good money at your job, finally getting with the cute blonde from your old English class—Boom! that's when the eagles and vultures attack. Ok, so that hasn't actually happened—yet!—but
if when it does, we hope it will be as sexy/scary/funny as Birdemic: Shock and Terror, the new romantic thriller from writer/director/producer James Nguyen.
Birdemic tells the story of a young couple in Northern California who, while taking an idyllic road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway, encounter swarms of mean-as-shit eagles and vultures, hell bent on vengeance on the human race in retaliation for its disregard for the environment. It was filmed on weekends over four years and completely self-financed by Nguyen (he works days as a Silicon Valley software salesman), and its special effects show it—they make the effects in its obvious inspiration, Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 epic The Birds, look positively CGI in comparison. But its also one of the most consistently entertaining movies you'll see this year. After the most persistent and ambitious self-marketing campaigns in Sundance history, Birdemic was picked up by Severin Films last year, and will see wide release this spring, including a New York premiere tonight at the IFC Center (presented by videogum.com and co-presented by bloodydisgusting.com). Complex recently spoke with Nguyen about his influences, and both the sublime and mundane things that go into making a passion project. Check the interview and trailer of Birdemic below...
Complex: What were some of the films that influenced Birdemic?
James Nguyen: The first one would be The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock, in 1963. The Birds is one of my favorite Hitchcock films. Even though it's not my most favorite, which is Vertigo, The Birds is very prophetic. It was made in 1963, but it dealt with very prophetic issues, the environment and all that. So that was the main movie that inspired me to make Birdemic. Other movies are Apocalypse Now—in Apocalypse Now, the G.I. soldiers, they're in a boat cruising down the Mekong River and in Birdemic the protagonists, Nathalie and Rod, they're in a van driving down Highway 1 and they go through one journey—one scene to the next. Also An Inconvenient Truth. There's an environmental issue in Birdemic, and An Inconvenient Truth really inspired me to put that in there.
Complex: You call yourself the Master of the Romantic Thriller; you've actually trademarked the name for yourself. How did you come up with that?
James Nguyen: I was always obsessed with romantic thrillers. I think the first romantic movie I liked was Somewhere In Time with Christopter Reeve and Jane Seymour, and the Franco Zeffirelli 1968 Romeo and Juliet. But romance alone—a chick flick—is not just enough. I'm not interested in a chick flick. It's gotta be a mystery, suspense, a thriller. I found that in Hitchcock cinema. So I just became obsessed with watching Hitchcock cinema watching Vertigo, The Birds, Rear Window, To Catch A Thief, North By Northwest, all of these are examples of romantic thrillers, even Rebecca his first romantic thriller in America. Even though Mr. Hitchcock, he never referred to them as romantic thrillers, but I kind of changed it.
Complex: How does that come across in Birdemic?
James Nguyen: The first half of the movie is a romance between these protagonists. There is a foreshadowing and twist and turn 'cause there's something wrong, things are not alright. How we did the film with the Eagles and Vultures attack because in the film you understand why the eagles and vultures attack. It was the elements of romance, in a sneaky way. It started off as a joke, but I was so obsessed with it that the last 12 months became more serious. So it's kind of like being obsessed with a romantic thriller and I figured at least I'm a master of this genre I believe.
Complex: You completely financed the movie yourself. What were some of the things that kept you going?
James Nguyen: Having a good story. In the original script I couldn't afford an RV, I couldn't afford a nice fancy set, you know? So I had to adjust the scenes to make it work with my budget. I think that's one of the things that kept me going. So when you have a good story, it's there, it keeps everyone excited, and it keeps you motivated and hopefully you end up with a product that you can be happy with. I also think the bond between me and the cast. The lead cast—Alan who plays Rod, and Whitney Moore who plays Nathalie. The director/actor relationship was there, you know? It's about trust. When you make a low-budget indie film, it's very tough. People are going to show up every weekend to shoot it and there's trust and respect and if it's not there you probably won't finish the movie. So I think there's trust and respect and a liking of each other that kept us going.
Complex: Anything else?
James Nguyen: I had very limited money, so I think the lunch sandwich kept us going, right from 7-Eleven. We had those pre-made sandwiches, you know at the deli of 7-Eleven? So that was lunch and actually when you watch Birdemic there is a scene where they go into the convenience store and Nathalie picks up a sandwich out from the deli—that was an actor's lunch from the crew. So I think that the lunch really helped keep me going. The sandwich—you have to feed the cast and the crew well or they won't act right. It doesn't matter what kind of budget, low-budget movie or whatever, you always have to feed them so they act right. There will be mutiny on the set!
Complex: What should moviegoers expect when they go see Birdemic?
James Nguyen: Birdemic: Shock and Terror—it's about the eagle and vulture attack, who will survive? And I hope that when the audience watches this movie and they walk away...I know when they watch this movie and they're being entertained and they'll have a few good laughs and after all that they walk away, I hope they walk away thinking.

With the shocking death revealed in Episode 3 of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead Season 4, fans are now wondering about the fate of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens). If she is alive, they are also concerned with how she will react when she finds out about this death in upcoming episodes.
SPOILER ALERT: This article contains information about Episode 3, titled "Good Out Here," of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead Season 4. Please proceed with caution if you have not yet viewed this episode and wish to avoid spoilers.
Fans of Fear the Walking Dead felt a little unnerved as Episode 3 unfolded. Initially, many assumed the episode would reveal the fate of Madison Clark, who hasn't been seen in the present day storyline at all in Season 4. The assumption was the episode was setting up to reveal the death of Madison since flashbacks concerning her and Nick seemed geared towards her demise. However, the episode ended up revealing that Nick Clark died, not his mother.
Now, fans are wondering what will happen once Madison finds out about her son's death. However, for others they are still convinced Madison is dead.
Already, fans are turning towards any information they can glean about upcoming episodes of Fear the Walking Dead to determine Madison's fate. There are some images of Madison out there that haven't yet turned up in Season 4 of Fear, indicating she could still be alive.
If this is the case, how will she react to the death of her son, a child she has fought so hard to keep alive.
According to an interview the Hollywood Reporter did with Fear showrunner Andrew Chambliss, Madison could have a challenging road ahead of her.
"We take Madison to some places that people haven't seen her character go before."
If she finds out her son is dead, there is certainly a lot of room for her character to delve into these "new places."
However, some fans believe Madison is already dead and that is why she has not been seen in the present day storyline. It could also explain a lot as far as how the group's dynamic appear to Morgan's group.
Also, on closer inspection of the previously released images of Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead, it shows Madison at the Diamond and not in any other location. This could be an indicator that viewers will only get to see Madison in flashbacks in upcoming episodes.
However, fans will just have to tune into future episodes of Fear the Walking Dead to find out more about the fate of Madison Clark.
Fear the Walking Dead returns to AMC on Sunday, May 6, at 9 p.m. ET. Zap2It lists the following synopsis for Episode 4, titled "Buried."
"Al's questioning uncovers some surprising truths about the group's past; John Dorie receives unexpected news."

What to See: Paris
I may have the most unpopular opinion on earth. I don't LOVE Paris. I like it, I care about its rich history, and I can admire the art and architecture, but it has never settled into settled into that special place in my heart. I love fashion, beautiful food, and walkable cities, so why can't I obsess over long walks on the Seine like everyone else? Contrary to popular belief I find Parisians to be warm and accommodating, and furthermore, I think the climate is fairly pleasant. I wish I could feel as passionately about Paris as Ernest Hemmingway in "A Moveable Feast" when he says, "I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil." Unfortunately, Paris and I have never had that kind of poetic love affair.
Sometimes, beauty can be found when just let a city be itself. We didn't look for the coolest version of Paris or even the most picturesque version of the city. When I took a more relaxed approach to the city it occurred to me that I don't like Paris because I always used my trip as a competition with other travelers. "Did you eat at the fill-in-the-blank restaurant?" "Did you go to the such-and-such exhibition on opening night?" "What did you wear in Paris?" "I only stay at THIS hotel". There is so much pressure to do Paris the correct way, see the best-known sites, and make time for all of the underground hotspots all while looking like an off- duty model. Thankfully, I had every excuse on this trip to experience Paris as an average everyday tourist. Without any pressure to take the best pictures, find a cool cafe before everyone else, and take semi-staged street style photos, I truly enjoyed myself and I was able to understand why so many people return to Paris as often as possible. The list below isn't geared towards trendy adults and it isn't the best family friendly guide to Paris. It is simply what we did, where we went, and why I found it beautiful. When I slowed down enough to enjoy the beauty of Paris, I finally found a version of the city that I truly enjoyed.
Palais Garnier Opera House
The true setting of "The Phantom of the Opera" is as opulent as you might expect. The paintings. frescoes, gilded work, and sculptures are outstanding and have served as inspiration for many other Beau Arts Buildings around the world.
Eiffel Tower
The ultimate symbol of Paris and Elijah's #1 attraction to see in Paris, we took plenty of touristy pictures, ate ice cream, and enjoyed the architectural wonder that is the Eiffel Tower
As an art lover, going to the Louvre was a difficult experience for me. I don't mind crowds and queues, but this visit tested the limits of my patience. The crushing crowds, holding camera phones above their heads to take pictures of the Mona Lisa, left a lot to be desired, it was all worth it to study the architectural masterpiece of the Louvre itself. The high ceilings with intricate paintings and designs, the exotic stones, and the incredible mesh of new and old styles were absolutely overwhelming. While going to the Louvre did not satisfy the art appreciator in me, I left feeling a deeper appreciation of the structure itself.
Tuileries Gardens
The garden walk before you get to the Louvre is absolutely lovely. We went on a crowded August day, and there were still plenty of places to sit by the fountains, on park benches, or in some of the enclosed flower gardens.
Seine River
At this point in the day our pre teen boy was over Paris, so a romantic walk with my husband was not exactly in the cards. Instead, we enjoyed a glass of wine ( and a Sprite) at one of the many cafes while we watched other couples blissfully walk hand in hand.
Moulin Rouge
I must admit, that I did not care to visit the Moulin Rouge because of its historical significance. Instead, I wanted to imagine myself in the middle of a Baz Luhrmann musical where I would impress my family with my lovely singing voice. Unfortunately, the area was a bit seedy even in the day and we shielded Elijah's eyes from the many "adult" shops on our way to and from the famous landmark.
Notre Dame
Our visit to Notre Dame, was yet another excursion we took because of our personal associations and not because it is arguably the most famous cathedral in the world. Because we are from Indiana we will always scream Go Irish in the fall when we visit the Notre Dame campus for football season. My husband had unspeakable joy, by being able to see the inspiration behind his favorite American college campus.
We thoroughly enjoyed the walk up to Sacre Couer through the windy streets of Montparnasse. With gourmet selections of meats, cheeses, wines, and loaves of bread I was in absolute heaven. However, the art snob in me does have a word of warning. This area is known as the arts area of Paris, but many of the stands selling prints and canvases are massed produced copies made in China. They may be signed by a Parisian artist, but very few of them are by skilled artists trained at the Sorbonne as many of the shop owners claim.
Read Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Ecco, or read anything by Foucault. This landmark was incredibly enjoyable because of my strange taste in literature and philosophy. The crypt downstairs holds the crypts of some of the most notable people on earth including Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Louis Braille, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and Alexandre Dumas.
With a tight budget and an even tighter suitcase, I was an admirer and not a shopper on this trip. If you are looking to take home a few designer labels from the best Paris fashion houses shopping along the Champs-Elysees is a wonderfully iconic experience.
Galeries Lafayette
One of my favorite French words is flaneur. I became familiar with it when I read Walter Benjamin's "Arcades Project" about men who saunter, or stroll, through streets with the appreciation of a connoisseur. The Galeries Lafayette make me imagine that I can be a 20th-century woman of leisure appreciating all of the beautiful storefront displays.
Alexander Bridge
This gorgeous arched bridge over the Seine on your way to the Eiffel Tower and is simply stunning! Lamps, cherubs, nymphs, and winged horses represent all of the ornate beauty that Paris is known for.
Place de la Concorde
I could have spent all day in this large square at the end of the Champs-Elysees admiring the sculptures and the fantastic view of the Ar-de-Triomphe
Arc de Triomphe
Inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus, this monument is a regal homage to classic art and patriotic duty. You can go up to the top of the Arc for a picturesque view of Paris, but I suggest getting your tickets in advance as lines can be very long.
Sacre Coeur Basilica
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart overwhelmed us with its grandeur and beauty. It is one of spaces that make you feel instantly humbled, appreciative, and reflective. It is at the summit of the Montmartre and the atmosphere inside and out make you appreciate why Paris is widely regarded as the most beautiful city in the world.

Top Wedding food trends of 2018
If you're tying the knot in 2018 and are looking for some wedding food ideas that are bang on trend, there are a few things to get your head around. Firstly, wedding menu trends 2018 very much break away from tradition – but if you want a formal sit down dining experience then don't let this year's added sense of 'wow' deter you. Secondly, you don't have to play safe, let your guests be talking about the food at your wedding for all the right reasons & that can be the fact that they had tried something they had never had before. Wedding meals are becoming quirkier than ever, so let's take a look at some of the biggest food trends of the year.
1. Say 'I Do' with brunch
Wedding ceremonies traditionally start at 1 to 2pm, but if you are early risers and want to make the most of the day, have an earlier ceremony, not too early! say 11ish and serve brunch straight after a few photographs with Mimosas & maybe a Vodka smoothie.
The 'Wedding breakfast' is so named as it's the first meal the couple enjoy once they are married, and is not therefore a breakfast as such, put play with the idea but make it a Yummy brunch such as the following :-
Bagels, mixed breads, croissants,
Sliced assorted meats, hams & saucisson
Savoury muffins with salmon & topped with poached egg & hollandaise
Fresh hot savoury tarts with various fillings
Local & French cheeses
Assorted sweet muffins, pancakes & maple syrup
Fresh fruit in waffle cones with berries & Greek yoghurt with fresh honey comb
2. Make food a sharing experience
When it comes to wedding catering, it's fun and different to have sharing platters and really interesting salads all brought to the tables for the guests to pass around, Salads in the summer months are a trend that has really taken off in 2018 and I hope will continue, much easier to pass around and lighter as well.
With the main dishes, joints brought to the table to be carved by a nominated guest not only gets the table talking but creates great photo memories too. Succulent slow cooked legs of lamb, whole boned chickens stuffed with sun dried tomatoes & garlic, Salmon roulades etc. lots of dishes work & your vegan & vegetarian guests can also be easily looked after too.
3. Spruced up comfort food
One of the biggest wedding catering trends 2018 is spruced up comfort food; food you'd usually eat at home in your jogging bottoms but with a stylish twist –Bowls of creamy, cheesy macaroni with sides of crispy bacon & chorizo, or Cones of mini fish & chips , or have a Slider bar, mini burgers with different fillings, including vegetarian/ vegan & lots of toppings such as grilled haloumi, fresh spicy salsa, mushrooms & blue cheese .

I published the column below in the Deseret News for 5 April 2018:
"The singing of hymns," President Dallin H. Oaks, the first counselor in the LDS Church's First Presidency, observed in "Worship through Music," "is one of the best ways to learn the doctrine of the restored gospel."
And, indeed, Latter-day Saint hymn lyrics, taken altogether, summarize essential church teachings remarkably well. Located at the very core of regular Mormon worship, they provide an instructive and reliable picture of what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe.
Some hymns (like the originally German "Hark, All Ye Nations!" celebrate the Restoration. Others contain concepts unique to the Restoration. For example, "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" and "Praise to the Man" recall the story of the founding prophet and "An Angel from on High" and "The Iron Rod" summarize the recovery of the Book of Mormon. Some hymns focus on priesthood authority and duties (e.g., "Ye Elders of Israel" and "Come, All Ye Sons of God").
Others emphasize the blessings of LDS temples, including sealings for eternity (examples include "Families Can Be Together Forever," "Rise Ye Saints and Temples Enter," and "How Beautiful Thy Temples, Lord") and salvation for the dead (e.g, "High on the Mountain Top," "Holy Temples on Mount Zion" and "Rejoice, Ye Saints of Latter Days"). Still others exult in continuing revelation (e.g., "We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet" and "Come, Listen to a Prophet's Voice").
Some hymns (such as "If You Could Hie to Kolob" and "O My Father") highlight distinctive Mormon theology. "Our Savior's Love" carefully devotes each of its three verses to a member of the Godhead, understood by Latter-day Saints to consist of three distinct personages.
Some hymns commemorate the unique LDS pioneer heritage. Both multigenerational members and recent converts sing "Come, Come, Ye Saints," "For the Strength of the Hills," "Carry On" and "O Ye Mountains High." Reflecting the LDS Church's often embattled history and its sometimes embattled present, some hymns (e.g., "Up, Awake, Ye Defenders of Zion," "True to the Faith" and "As Zion's Youth in Latter Days") are resolute, even defiant.
But Latter-day Saints remain Christians despite their distinctiveness, as the official hymnal both reflects and demonstrates.
For example, it contains numerous hymns associated with major mainstream Christian figures, including J. S. Bach ("O Savior, Thou Who Wearest a Crown"), Martin Luther ("A Mighty Fortress is Our God"), and the 18th-century English Christian poet William Cowper ("God Moves in a Mysterious Way"). "Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow" is a 17th-century Anglican "doxology." Ten Latter-day Saint hymns come from the great English Protestant minister and hymn writer Isaac Watts (d. 1748), while six were composed by the famous Methodist leader Charles Wesley(d. 1788), younger brother to Methodism's founder, John Wesley.
"Sing Praise to Him" comes from the 16th-century "Bohemian Brethren's Songbook." "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty" derives from the 17th-century "Stralsund Gesangbuch."
But the LDS hymnal doesn't draw solely from Protestant sources: St. Francis of Assisi (d. A.D. 1226) wrote the original-language words to "All Creatures of Our God and King," while those of "All Glory, Laud, and Honor" were penned by Theodolph of Orleans (d. A.D. 821). The original Latin lyrics of "Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee" are ascribed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (d. A.D. 1153). "Lead, Kindly Light" was written by the great John Henry Cardinal Newman (d. 1890).
Such hymns as "How Wondrous and Great," "Glory to God on High," "Because I Have Been Given Much," "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken," "How Great Thou Art," "We Are All Enlisted," "Cast Thy Burden upon the Lord" (with Mendelssohn's wonderful melody), "Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing" (sung to a tune by the French-Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau), and Rudyard Kipling's great "God of Our Fathers, Known of Old" originated well outside (and often before) the LDS Church.
Apart from the uniquely Mormon "Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains," Latter-day Saints celebrate Easter and Christmas squarely within the mainstream tradition of Christian hymns and carols. And, virtually every week, church members memorialize the Savior's atoning sacrifice via prescribed prayers and in songs uniquely suited to that purpose.
In other words, the hymns used by Latter-day Saints in worship unmistakably identify them as a unique kind of Christians, just as they believe and claim. Denials that Mormons are Christians at all find no support in Mormon hymnology.

I am often the first to admit that I know nothing. In fact, as many have said, the more I learn, I realize how little I know.
Nevertheless, over the past decade, I have had a lot of experience with many aspects of farming–from beginning without knowing what I was doing through teaching myself (and learning from my animals) about the best practices for practicing rotational grazing for the heath of the land and livestock. I want to share this experience and knowledge with those who are just beginning to farm and need a mentor with whom to confer, or with those looking for new and better solutions to livestock management and want to explore solutions for integrated, dynamic systems.
I consider myself to be a student of life, my school is Learn by Doing, and I welcome you to come learn alongside me.
Please CONTACT me to start the conversation.

The insurer has been based in Southend since 2006
More than 100 people look set to lose their jobs as Insure & Go plans to move its offices from Southend to Bristol in the new year.
The insurer has begun a consultation process with its employees, The Echo reports.
The firm will be keeping its sales and customer service call centre in Southend, meaning that the rest of its staff will have to relocate over 175 miles or face losing their job.
The company is owned by MAPFRE, and a spokesperson for the Spanish parent company said: "MAPFRE confirms it has concluded a consultation with staff in the Southend office, following the proposal to relocate most of its travel division operations to Bristol. The sales contact centre will remain in the current Southend office.
"All employees affected by this decision have had the opportunity to relocate to Bristol and we are pleased to report that a number of our employees have decided to make the move to Bristol."

All About TheatreDonate
Organization Mission
All About Theatre's mission is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences in the Santa Cruz County area.
We provide a healthy and wholesome ambassadorship for the arts and open the door to new life experiences. We are dedicated to providing financially accessible arts experiences to all communities, regardless of size or economic status. We strive to use participation in the performing arts as a vehicle to develop life skills for all.
The Big Idea:
Arts for All
Community is at the core of what we do. We are blessed to serve more than 400 individuals per year in the county. This project is tailored to serve children and families in South County, to build a bridge to share the riches of our joint communities. Arts for All has already begun, but with your support it could soar.
Theater enables us to make lifelong friendships, with people we would never have otherwise met, and to learn about cultures other than our own. Families as well as kids continually inspire each other and foster a community spirit that keeps on growing. The professional-level skills we teach are also job skills in high demand in the flourishing entertainment industry.
While not every child wants to be on stage, every child has the capacity to be moved, learn empathy, laugh, and be awed by the special magic that happens during a live performance—whether on stage, in the audience, or backstage. Our professional training also covers tech, running equipment, stage management, hair and make-up design, and more.
Everyone here is my family. All About Theatre has taught me so much and given me confidence in who I am.

God Pause for Wednesday, 8/13/2014/
Luther Seminary God Pause
Wednesday, 8/13/2014 Reading: Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32
This summer we have been studying the semi-continuous reading of the lectionary and digging deep into our family tree (going WAY back!) as we are inspired by the biblical stories of such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others who weren't exactly perfect. They often didn't have it all together. And yet God used them! "For the gifts of God are irrevocable!"
And notice--the story of God's chosen people is not a story about perfect people. But God chooses them anyway. God promises that he will provide for them anyway. God remains their God anyway.
May we know that God's mercy is always a gift, no matter what. To receive God's mercy--what a gift! By definition mercy is kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly. We know that we could be treated harshly. Our sin would indicate that we should be treated harshly. But by the grace of God, we are loved anyway. We are forgiven anyway.
God of grace, may we be forever conscious of the wondrous gift of your mercy. And may we be ready to show mercy as you have shown mercy to us. Amen.
Amanda Schultz Pastor of Bethany, Immanuel and Trinity Lutheran Churches, Cashton, Wis. Master of Divinity, 2013
Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 (NRSV)
1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. 32 For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to all.

What makes a reader into a Reader? What changes a person from literate to literature lover? For me, these ten books had a lot to do with it. I listed them in the order I encountered them.
- The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg
A brother and sister run away from home to live in a museum in New York, avoiding detection they explore the exhibits, and their understanding of their family.
- Matilda by Roald Dahl
A young girl is different than her family- she's smart and honest and kind, and they're… not. At school she finds solace in a teacher, and realized that her ability to move items with her mind may be useful- but not entirely normal. A brilliant story about finding family.
- A Little Princess by Fances Hodgson Burnett
A little girl who once was lavishly doted upon by her father finds herself as an orphan, and servant at the school she once attended. Sara must find a way to protect herself and does so by inventing a world around her.
- Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell
The legend of a young native girl who spends 18 years alone on an island off the coast of California. In the story she must survive the elements, a pack of wolves, and the knowledge of other humans nearby as she watches ships pass by that never rescue her. Even as a child this story broke my heart.
- The True Confession of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
The lone passenger on a trip to the Americas- Charlotte Doyle is caught in a mutiny. Charlotte must survive, no longer protected by social conventions, as power struggles abound, and alliances fold. Ultimately, Charlotte "mans up" and becomes a sailor to save herself.
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
A large family of young women are left orphaned, and their eldest sisters must band together to keep the family together and alive. A little romance, a little historical feminist literature, I really really wanted to be Jo when I was growing up.
- The China Garden by Liz Berry (out of print)
The daughter of a single mother, Rose and her mother return to the village where her mother grew up, after her mother accepts a mysterious and upsetting nursing job at the local Estate House. Rose begins to question everything she experiences, and comes to realized that this is where she belongs, not just as a birthrite but also as a the only person who can solve a mystery and save the Estate. I picked up this book while we were visiting my mothers village and Estate, and I was struggling with the same duplicity of identity Rose does.
- The Face on the Milk Carton (What Ever Happened to Janie Series) by Caroline B. Cooney
Janie wakes up one day a happy daughter in a family then realizes the face on the milk carton is hers- her family may be kidnappers, and her real family has been looking for her all these years. Janie struggles to piece together her identity as her family is put into question, and she is forced to join another.
- Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan
A teenager takes on the part of fortune teller at a Halloween party and all is fun and games until she actually has a vision. Sparking a modern day high school based Salem Witch Trial, this book was enthralling as it examined the realities of the other and danger of social norms.
- The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
Do I really need to say more? Check out my review of book one here.
This regular feature here at A MaeDay Life is a part of The Broke and the Bookish's Top Ten Tuesday's. This week's theme was "Top Ten "Gateway" Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

Now that we survived the first week back to school, let's have a little fun.
Make sure you scroll through and read til the end. You want to win a free session, don't you?
I painted my logo onto a little rock and went looking for a hiding spot in one of the retail shops along High and Cross Streets in downtown Chestertown.
We visited She She on High, Chester River Wine and Cheese Co., and Gabriel's.
Then we stopped by the Book Plate, Twigs and Teacups, and Welcome Home (bought this adorable mug!) before settling on the painted rock's first hiding spot.
The painted rock found its first hiding spot in these bottom two photos.
Your first clue is below. Does the store look familiar (I may have listed it above, or I may have not)?
Go find it, and your family will be entered to WIN A PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION with me this fall.
There are no strings attached. I will draw a random winner and they will receive the session, files, and print credit as described in this fall photography special.
Contest is closed.
