Blake Hall is a country house and gardens in the village and civil parish of Bobbingworth, near Chipping Ongar, Essex.
The house incorporates an original fabric dating from the 17th century or older, but was largely rebuilt in the 18th century and later remodelled by George Basevi in 1822. It has been home to the Capel Cure family for over 200 years.
After the operations centre at nearby RAF North Weald for Sector E, No. 11 Group RAF was bombed by the Luftwaffe in September 1940 during the Battle of Britain, floors and interior walls from a portion of Blake Hall were removed, and a new "ops room" (operations room) substituted.
The Grade II* listed building is now set within its own conservation area.
Part of the railway to Ongar, opened in 1865, ran through land belonging to the Blake Hall estate, and a station called Blake Hall was named after the hall, even though the station was more than a mile to the south-west of the house itself. Latterly on the Central line of the London Underground, Blake Hall station closed in 1981.
Blake is a surname or a given name which originated from Old English. Its derivation is uncertain; it could come from "blac", a nickname for someone who had dark hair or skin, or from "blaac", a nickname for someone with pale hair or skin. Another theory is that it is a corruption of "Ap Lake", meaning "Son of Lake".
Blake was the name of one of the 14 Tribes of Galway in Ireland. These Blakes were descendants of Richard Caddell, alias Blake, who was involved in the Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169. As such a long present foreign name it became known as de Bláca in Irish.
The origins of the name Blake are also considered to be Old Norse, first appearing in Yorkshire, England, possibly derived from the word Blaker, referring to a village and a former municipality of Akershus county, Norway (east of Oslo).
Blake often refers to the British poet, painter and printmaker William Blake (1757–1827) or to the contemporary figurative artist Blake.
In architecture, a hall is a relatively large space enclosed by a roof and walls. In the Iron Age, a mead hall was such a simple building and was the residence of a lord and his retainers. Later, rooms were partitioned from it, and the space next to the front door became the entrance hall. Today, the (entrance) hall of a house is the space next to the front door or vestibule leading to the rooms directly and/or indirectly. Where the hall inside the front door of a house is elongated, it may be called a passage, corridor (from Spanish corredor used in El Escorial and 100 years later in Castle Howard) or hallway.
The term hall is often used to designate a British or Irish country house such as a hall house, or specifically a Wealden hall house, and manor houses.
In later medieval Europe, the main room of a castle or manor house was the great hall. In a medieval building, the hall was where the fire was kept. With time, its functions as dormitory, kitchen, parlour and so on were divided off to separate rooms or, in the case of the kitchen, a separate building.
Blake Hall is centrally located on Campus Lake and close to the University Recreational Center, the Greek houses, the Student Union, and the 459 Commons dining hall. With its lobby arranged for group conversations and a picnic area on the lake behind the building, the Blake Hall environment is conducive to both academic and social activities. Also located in Blake Hall, the Ag Residential College (ARC) is open to all first year students in the College of Agriculture. The residential college focuses on "Ag Leadership", a reoccurring theme throughout this program designed for first-year Agriculture students. By taking several core courses together, students will more quickly form relationships with classmates and professors both inside the classroom and out. The residence hall will offer op...

http://grrrltraveler.com/countries/north-america/us-travel/surviving-budget-hotels-las-vegas/ Budget hotels aren't always hotels from hell. In fact, I stayed at the Days Inn Wild Wild West Casino Hotel, actuallly a motel. Was it all that bad? Well, there were rough spots but overall, pretty darned good. In my internet research, I found a Days Inn hotel for under $30 and it included in-room wifi. That's an amazing deal for hotels in Las Vegas near the Strip. Even better, the listing said the location of the hotel was behind the New York New York Casino, just two blocks away... But when I arrived at my hotel, I wasn't quite ready for the initial shock I felt. The hotel was more like a motel and two blocks away entailed a long hike over a freeway. But if you watch my video above, you'l...

This is a very profound occult-paranormal fiction and the only occult fiction written by Jack London but it turned out to be a brilliant one. Focusing on astral projection and past life-regression, this is a very inspiring and thought-provoking book that can satisfy the both of seasoned readers of occult books and newbies who just started looking into this genre of writings.

A never before seen footage filmed in 1980 on the Ongar branch of the Central Line when Blake Hall still was open. Filmed UNOFFICIALLY by the motorman himself you will see an un edited view of the line from Epping to Ongar, then an early morning staff run from Ongar to Loughton 21 road. If you are a die hard fan of 1962 tube stock in pristine condition and remember them as either staff or a regular passenger user, then sit back and enjoy ! Look out for the Westinghouse brake usage from Ongar on the staff run early dawn ! Created with MAGIX Video deluxe 2014
(Didn't your Mama tell you how to behave,girl?
Didn't your Daddy tell you not to wear that little thing?)
Been told you never get something for nothing
My stepfather Dickie say I just might get hit
If I don't give
The girls all shisper 'hind my back
They try to break me whith cruel attacks
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don't complain
Daddy's gone, Mama lost her job
Our house ain't a home no more
Still my faith's unshaken in God
I feel so lonely for hope and company
I don't take much and I give everything for free
(So, don't you want me?)
The girls all whisper'hind by back
My baby brother's smoking crack
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don't complain
Daddy's gone, Mama lost her job
Our house ain't a home no more
Still my faith's unshaken in god
I dream I get a record deal
I'll buy a way out of here
Or maybe a new Lexus jeep
Or just a friend (Am I dreamin'? Am I dreamin'?)
There's Mr. roberts,Juan and Paul
All waiting for me down the hall
But then tomorrow they don't call
Still a moment's better than none at all
Daddy's gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain't a home no more (I'll be sixteen in August)
Since Mama broke her soul (I like to sing in chorus)
Daddy's gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain't a home no more (I'll be sixteen in August)
Still my faith's unshaken
Lord won't you please save me?
Is this the new slavery?
Here on the ghetto pavement?
But I believe in you baby
Yes, my faith's unshaken
In God
