RECENTLYHello everyone. I am very sad to say that I'm moving. This blog simply doesn't work right now. Please visit me {here}. Thank you!
I found an elvish name translator and I found that I my elvish name, Aranduriel, is a half Elf and half Orc name... But, I found my real Elvish name. It's rather pretty. Melian. It was the name of the Maia who served both Vana and Este. You can read about them in the Silmarillion.
I have made a short story of the girl, Melian. But later, she might just become a main character in my book. I might post it later... after I clean it up a bit.
Here is her history though:
Melian was the youngest daughter of Eldarion, the son of Arwen and Elessar. She was often found walking and riding her mare, Rochendil, the shores of Osgiliath alone. Melian was quiet and reserved, but when the time came, she took up her place as princess of Gondor. She was fearless, and took after her father in looks and manner. Melian had dark black-brown hair and black eyes. She was las fearless as her "Aunt" Eowyn of Rohan. Melian could speak Elvish fluently and often went to visit her Grandmother's people in Rivendell and Lothlorien. 
I have decided that I'm not going to use Elvish Creations any more. Instead I'm going to use From The Hands Of Arwen. A blog here on my normal account.
What is small, bean shaped, fruit flavored, and sweet to eat? Did you guess the jelly bean? If you did, you are correct. The jelly bean is a semi-soft candy shaped like a bean and generally fruit flavored. No one knows it’s exact origins, although it is suspected that the soft center was based on the Middle-Eastern treat Turkish Delight, while the sugar shell is almost exactly like the shell on Jordan Almonds that dates back to the late 1700’s.
The jelly bean was first introduced in the early 1900’s along with other shaped candies. Because of it’s small size and long shelf life jelly beans were sold as penny candy especially during the Great Depression. By dividing jelly beans by color, candy companies were able to sell them for specific holidays. Today, jelly beans are mostly sold at Easter, probably because of they’re resemblance to Easter eggs. Most people associate jelly beans with the Easter bunny. However, Christians can use jelly beans to witness to Christ with the poem Color’s of Christ:
Orange is for Heaven so bright (2 Samuel 22:13-14)
Yellow is for God’s perfect light (Revelation 21: 23)
Black is for the sins we’ve made (Romans 3: 23)
Red is for the blood He gave ( Romans 5: 8 )
White is for our cleansing from sin (Psalm 51: 1-2)
Green is for our new life in Him (Colossians 1:10)
Pink is for His free gift to share (Matthew 28:19-20)
Purple is for the crowns we’ll wear (2 Timothy 4:8)
The witness of the jelly bean is true,
Trust in Jesus because he loves you! (Romans 10: 13)
Sarah A. Keith, a Sunday school teacher made this poem to teach children about the true meaning of Easter; that Jesus died for our sins and rose again three days later. Thereby conquering death for our sakes.
In 1976 Herman Goelitz Candy Co., Inc., now known as Jelly Belly, created the first gourmet jelly bean and ever since then jelly beans have been considered a delicacy. One of the jelly beans most famous fans was former President Ronald Reagan. He liked them so much he always kept a large jar of them on the Cabinet Room table so he could enjoy them during meetings. And did you know, he even kept a secret stash on Air Force One.
All jelly beans start out in a chemistry laboratory. In the lab each new favor and color combination is made in small test batches. After the samll batch is made it is then tested again, this time for visual and taste appeal. If the jelly beans passes these tests then they are sent to stores on a trial run. If the flavor becomes popular it will be a new product. However, before the beans make it to the store and then your mouth, they need to be manufactured.
The shaping of a single jelly bean begins with a process called starch casting. First, a machine called a mogul deposits a layer of corn starch in a plastic tray and moves the tray to a machine die. The machine die presses dents into the corn starch. Each tray holds several hundred to 1,200 of these tiny dents, each of which is the exact size and shape of a jelly bean’s center. The mogul then moves the trays to the filling station where hot candy syrup is squirted into the tiny molds. From the mogul, conveyers carefully take the trays to cooling rooms where the temperature and humidity is carefully controlled. There the candy syrup cools and hardens into the jelly beans soft chewy center.Next, the trays of candy centers are dumped out into large tumbling pans. The corn starch from the molds absorbs the moisture during the cooling process and fortunately, is recycled; it is dried, reprocessed, and reused for more jelly beans. Obviously nothing goes to waste! The centers, which are all the same flavor in each batch, are placed in stainless steel vessels called pans. The pans are globe shaped and hollow with an opening at one end of the globe. Like regular globes, the pans are tilted on their axis. This makes it easy to put the candies in and for workers to add the other ingredients, such as coloring and additional flavoring, through the openings. At the bottom end or “axis end” the pan is attached to a rotating power source. The pans turn the jelly beans several hundred times per minute.
Sugar is added through the opening, which gradually builds around the soft centers. This forms the harder outer coating. Workers add these colors and flavors throughout the process by pouring beakers of syrup into the pan. At this point the jelly beans are almost done. All that is left is adding the glaze that gives the jelly beans their distinctive shine. A confectioner’s sugar glaze is added while the jelly beans are still turning in the pans. Finally, the jelly beans are now done. What started out as a mold full of sugar syrup is now a full fledged jelly bean! The panning process gives the jelly beans their flavor, color, hard sugar coatings, and shiny glaze and takes six to ten days, depending on the kind of jelly beans and their manufacturer.
So next time you see jelly beans at your grocery store, please, stop and remember the humble beginning of the this classic treat!

It was a dark night in 2009. A young girl approached a abandoned mine shaft to recive her information on a very important mission. As she is recieving it, a piercing sream shattered the cool night air. She whriled around to see....... Nothing. As she turns back around, she is knocked unconsious by a violent blow to the head.
The next morning......
"Where am I? What happened to me?" Anna winced in pain as she touched her head. She groaned and sat up. She looked around. She let out a gasp. "No! It has to be here some where! It can't be gone! I need that info!" Anna searched wildly. Where is it? It can not be gone! She thought to her self.
Fliping open her laptop she e-mailed her parents.
Mom, Dad! I'm okay..... But the info is gone!! I have searched everywhere with no luck. Please pray for me as I continue searching. I am at the Mine. Please come and help me..... I was delivered a blow to the head..... Bring medical supplies. Over and out."Dear Jesus," Anna prayed, "Help me to find the info. Help me have strength. Please help Mom and Dad to hurry.
