Mariza at Walt Disney Concert Hall

LAist: Win Tickets to see Mariza at Walt Disney Concert Hall with set design by Frank Gehry: "October 25, 2007 Win Tickets to see Mariza at Walt Disney Concert Hall with set design by Frank Gehry Out of taverns and streetcorners in poor sections of Lisbon, the mournful music, that tells emotional tales of longing and loss, was born. Since then, fado has become Portugal's most famous music. With a Mozambican background and a love for the Portuguese fado singing, Mariza has become one of the world's most famous singers. Her first album went quadruple platinum. After a 2002 visit to Lisbon, famed architect and creator of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Frank Gehry, heard Mariza sing. He fell in love with the city, the music and befriended the singer. Sunday will be Gehry's first collaboration with a performer in this capacity where his design of a taverna will set the atmosphere for Mariza's performance (if you are not familiar with her music, check it out on iTunes preview or try her website). With that said, we are excited to be giving away a pair of tickets to this Sunday evening's 7:30 p.m. concert. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us if you have ever been to the amazing Walt Disney Concert Hall or not. The contest ends at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow and you need to be available to confirm by e-mail (the one your login is registered with) by 4:00 p.m. back to us if you are chosen.

Portuguese voter referendum on abortion, February 11th

Portuguese Abortion Referendum: Support Rally to Keep Restrictions
Next Sunday, February 11, the people of Portugal will decide whether or not to introduce abortion on demand into their country's abortion law. The referendum is part of the ruling Socialist Party's promised agenda to make abortion freely available. The referendum question reads: "Do you agree that abortions, carried out in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, with the woman's consent, in a legal medical establishment, should no longer be illegal?" This would allow abortion on demand during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy in place of the relatively strict law at present. As Irish pro-lifers know only too well, voter apathy is the main danger in any referendum. Encouraged by some bishops and priests, various pro-life groups are working hard, not merely to defeat the referendum, but to muster a clear majority of No votes that will tell the government that the Portuguese people reject abortion as bad for women and children. Last week the patriarch of Lisbon Patriarch, Cardinal Jose !
da Cruz Policarpo, called abortion "an attack on civilisation." Another, the bishop of Guarda, called abortion an "abominable crime". Lay groups and some individual bishops and priests have not hesitated to use their authority to encourage a "No" vote. Readers of "LifeZine" can take action during this week by praying to Our Lady of Fatima to save Portugal from this abominable evil. Pray that voters will do their duty and vote No.
