Blue Ridge Capital
Blue Ridge Capital was an American hedge fund founded in 1996 by John Griffin, a "Tiger Cub" (protégé of Julian Robertson's Tiger Management), which invested globally. Background The founder of Blue Ridge Capital, John Griffin, is believed to have been a "right-hand man" to the billionaire money manager Julian Robertson. Blue Ridge Capital generally targeted "absolute returns" by investing in and short-selling companies, with a focus on "going long" (i.e. buying the stock of companies rather than selling it short.) Blue Ridge's investment thesis was based on fundamental analysis, and focused on companies that have competitive advantages in their industries, while shorting those thought to have "fundamental problems."

Blue Ridge (dishware)
Blue Ridge is a brand and range of American tableware ( dishware) manufactured by Southern Potteries Incorporated from the 1930s until 1957. Well known in their day for their underglaze decoration and colorful patterns, Blue Ridge pieces are now popular items with collectors of antique dishware. The underglaze technique made the decorations more durable, and while basic patterns were reused consistently, the fact that each piece was hand-painted means that no two pieces are exactly alike.Betty Newbound, "Southern Potteries," ''Encyclopedia of Appalachia'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: University of Tennessee Press, 2006), p. 830. Blue Ridge dishware is rooted in a pottery established in Erwin, Tennessee around 1916 at the behest of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad and chartered as Southern Potteries Incorporated in 1920. During the late 1920s, under the guidance of Charles Foreman, Southern Potteries implemented its underglaze decoration technique, which it began stamping with "B ...
