	Ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Stratigraphic ridge: In places such as the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians, very long, very even, very straight ridges are formed due to the fact that they're the uneroded remaining edges of the more resistant strata that were folded laterally.

	Philosopher/winemaker Paul Draper runs Ridge Vineyards with a different, broader bottom line
		Ridge Vineyards is the exception in these and many other areas, thanks to its professorial winemaker of 35 years and chief executive officer, Paul Draper.
		Ridge isn't pressured to sell more than its current 75,000 cases per year, largely thanks to an enlightened absentee owner, Japanese pharmaceutical magnate Akihiko Otsuka, who the founding partners invited to buy the company in 1986; they knew Otsuka through drug licensing negotiations because two Ridge founders invented the birth-control pill.
		Ridge separates its already small plots of land into very small lots, which are all treated individually -- picked at separate times, and even vinified in different ways, before being combined into the final product.

	The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » Ridge says those pre-election terror alerts weren't necessary ...

		Ridge said there were some in the administration who were "really aggressive" about the warnings to the public.

	Ridge Racers - Ferrago
		In much the same way as Ridge Racer V was initially impressive on PS2 but now appears very dated, when watching this game you know that PS2 quality graphics will one day grace the PSP; an amazing achievement in its own right.
		Since many of the tracks are based in and around the same cities and settings there is sometimes a lack of variation in the backgrounds but still the number of courses is pleasing.
		In the end it's this lack of additional play modes that lets Ridge Racers down a bit, but that shouldn't detract from the fact that what is offered is extremely entertaining, remarkably solid and technically incredible.

		Burr Ridge is located in Cook County (Lyons Township) and DuPage County (Downers Grove Township), with County Line Road being the east/west dividing line (DuPage County to the west, Cook County to the east).
