A fen is one of the main types of wetland, the others being grassy marshes, forested swamps, and peaty bogs. Along with bogs, fens are a kind of mire. Fens are usually fed by mineral-rich surface water or groundwater. They are characterised by their water chemistry, which is pH neutral or alkaline, with relatively high dissolved mineral levels but few other plant nutrients. They are usually dominated by grasses and sedges, and typically have brown mosses in general including Scorpidium or Drepanocladus. Fens frequently have a high diversity of other plant species including carnivorous plants such as Pinguicula. They may also occur along large lakes and rivers where seasonal changes in water level maintain wet soils with few woody plants. The distribution of individual species of fen plants is often closely connected to water regimes and nutrient concentrations.
Fens have a characteristic set of plant species, which sometimes provide the best indicators of environmental conditions. For example, fen indicator species in New York State include Carex flava, Cladium mariscoides, Potentilla fruticosa, Pogonia ophioglossoides and Parnassia glauca.
Car is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Car of the Carians (Greek: Κάρ), according to Herodotus, was the brother of Lydus and Mysus. He was regarded as the eponymous and ancestral hero of the Carians who would have received their name from the king. He may or may not be the same as Car of Megara
The name "Car" is unrelated to the English word "car" (vehicle).
Herodotus mentions Car, brother of Lydus and Mysus; the three brothers were believed to have been the ancestral heroes and eponyms of the Carians, the Lydians and the Mysians respectively. This Car was credited by Pliny the Elder with inventing the auspicia.
Car was also said to have founded the city Alabanda, which he named after Alabandus, his son by Callirhoe (the daughter of the river god Maeander). In turn, Alabandus's name is said to have been chosen in commemoration of his Car's victory in a horse fight— according to the scholar Stephanus of Byzantium, "Alabandos" was the Carian word for "winner in a horse fight". Another son of Car, Idrieus, had the city Idrias named after himself.
Hydro was a chain of fuel stations throughout Sweden owned by Statoil. The chain had more than 500 stations, as well as some unmanned Uno-X stations. The company also operated in retailing natural gas, electricity and heating oil.
The Hydro chain was created in the late 1980s when Norsk Hydro bought the Mobil stations in Norway, Sweden and Denmark to transform itself to a vertically integrated petroleum company. The stations were rebranded Hydro in all three countries. In 1995 the Norwegian and Danish stations were converted to Hydro Texaco when Hydro merged its stations in the two countries with Texaco's stations. In 2007 the ownership of Hydro was transferred to StatoilHydro when Norsk Hydro's oil and gas division merged with Statoil. When StatoilHydro was renamed Statoil in November 2009, the use of the Hydro-brand was discontinued and ownership of the Hydro filling stations was transferred to St1.
You always knew a way to find my good half
And I knew just the way to make you cry
But I ain't giving nothing to the girls in Hollywood
I've got a picture of my princess in a red dress
Goddamn, she's looking good
And they'll be dancing in the aisles
When we're standing face to face
Get a hotel room on our honeymoon
At some mighty fancy place
You'll be pretty as a princess
And I made up my mind
And I'll open up your car door every time
Long as you can reach over and unlock mine, oh
And I'll see you just in time to break the scene
I'll rent a linen suit and a limousine
And babe, I beg your pardon for this ordinary place
I got money for the matinee of strangers
And a million actors faces
And they'll be dancing in the aisles
When we're standing face to face
Get a hotel room on our honeymoon
At some mighty fancy place
You'll be pretty as a prom date
When you take all my blues
And I won't mind all that goddamn makeup
If you wear your dancing shoes
I love the way your bosom makes
For an envious blouse
Gonna tie your Sunday dresses in a rope
And you crawl down the house just to meet me
Pretty girls are made for pretty pictures
And witches are the women on the strip
But baby, you were cut from Cashmere and I'll be lying here, now
'Neath these sheets and deep asleep, my baby
And my hands tangled in your hair
But they'll be dancing in the aisles
When we're standing face to face
Get a hotel room on our honeymoon
At some mighty fancy place
You'll be pretty as a princess
And it's easy to see
If you don't steal all the damn covers
