Pets, Cars and Windows
Even people who don't own pets are familiar with the classic image of the family car zipping down the road, with a happy dog-face poking out from the passenger seat window. Pet owners, on the other hand, know that while Fido may enjoy the breeze in his face, he or his feline friend FiFi are likely to be in cars for many reasons other than family trips. Sometimes the ride may be to the dreaded vet, while other trips might wind up at a local park or animals-welcome pet store. What no one really thinks about is what happens if your dog or cat is injured because they were in the car during a traffic accident.

Commissioner Staples Travels To DC To Help Kick-Off 2008 Smithsonian Folklife Festival
Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 23, 2008 -- The 42nd annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival celebrates some of the best of Texas this summer by featuring Texas winemakers and grape growers who will share their stories about the culture, spirit and personality behind the Texas wine industry.
"Texans have a great sense of pride in our state's wine industry, and this festival provides a wonderful way for us to invite people from all over the world to come to Texas and discover our state's unique vineyards and wineries," Commissioner Staples said.
On Tuesday, June 24, Commissioner and Mrs. Staples will join Governor Rick Perry and First Lady Anita Perry for the Celebration of the Lone Star State, a dinner that kicks off the 2008 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. The festival is a cultural heritage exposition that takes place every summer on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
"Texas: A Celebration of Music, Food and Wine" takes place June 25-29 and July 2-6 in the shadow of the Washington Monument and historic Smithsonian Museums. It will feature the Texas Winemaking Tent, sponsored by the Texas Department of Agriculture. In the tent, winemakers and growers from across the state will "talk terroir" and discuss "making wine for Texas tastes," as well as demonstrate winemaking techniques.
The Texas Winemaking Tent will house four stations representing the winemaking process: the vineyard and harvesting, crushing and fermentation, aging and bottling, and a sensory station. Visitors can informally talk to the winemakers, learn about winemaking equipment, enjoy photographs and even participate in some hands-on opportunities.
"This is a great opportunity to tell people that Texas is more than beer and barbecue, and that we are a significant wine and culinary destination," Raymond Haak, owner of Haak Winery, said.
Texas wineries selected by the Smithsonian Folklife Festival to participating include: Alamosa Wine Cellars (Bend), Fall Creek Vineyards (Tow), Grape Creek Vineyards (Fredericksburg), Haak Winery (Santa Fe), Kiepersol Estates (Tyler), Lightcatcher Winery (Fort Worth), McPherson Cellars (Lubbock) and Texas Hills Vineyards (Johnson City). Texas master sommelier Guy Stout of Houston joins the wineries, providing his take on Texas' most promising varietals.
With a state as big as Texas, each region has its own soil and climate, which allows Texas to produce a remarkably diverse assortment of wine. Today, Texas is the fifth-largest wine producer in the United States, with more than 160 licensed wineries in operation and 210 family-owned vineyards covering more than 3,200 acres of land. Visitors from around the country and around the world are discovering Texas' vineyards and participating in wine tastings as part of their trips to the Lone Star State.
For more information on the special event, see the details below or visit the festival's site at www.folklife.si.edu/festival/2008/Texas/index.html.
