Of the 50 U.S. states, New Hampshire is the fifth smallest by area and the tenth least populous, with slightly more than 1.3 million residents.

One Big Day
''One Big Day'' is the third album by the American band Face to Face, released in 1988. It was produced by Anton Fier. The group disbanded shortly after the album's release. Critical reception The ''Orlando Sentinel'' deemed the album "flat out good," noting that the band had shifted from "electrobeat pop to country-flavored rock." ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "the songs are smart, the arrangements are countrypolitan with a metallic glint, and aurieSargent meets them with a warm clarion call that's often multi-tracked." ''Trouser Press'' opined that in a "misuse of talent, Syd Straw and Bernie Worrell contribute to the tunefully bland proceedings."

Confrontation (Face To Face Album)
''Confrontation'' is the follow-up to the self-titled 1984 debut album of the Boston new wave band Face to Face. While the previous album had edgier elements, like the rap in "Under The Gun", ''Confrontation'' was starting to move away from that style. Because of that, this release can be seen as a bridge between the debut and their next (and final) album ''One Big Day''. Like the 1984 debut, most of the songs were written by Angelo, with Laurie Sargent credited as co-writer on half. This record was not a commercial success and would be their last release on Epic Records. Many vinyl pressings in circulation can be found with a gold promo stamp on the back cover, making the non-promo copy more desirable to collectors due to its rarity. "Tell Me Why" was released as a single in The United States. No promotional video was released. Reissue Epic Records made this available on Compact Disc in Japan exclusively.

Diane Lane
Diane Colleen Lane (born January 22, 1965) is an American actress. Born and raised in New York City, Lane made her screen debut at age 14 in George Roy Hill's 1979 film '' A Little Romance''. The two films that could have catapulted her to star status, '' Streets of Fire'' and '' The Cotton Club'', were both commercial and critical failures, and her career languished as a result. After taking a break, Lane returned to acting to appear in '' The Big Town'' and '' Lady Beware'', but did not make another big impression on a sizable audience until 1989's popular and critically acclaimed TV miniseries '' Lonesome Dove'', for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award. It was not until 1999 that Lane earned further recognition for her role in '' A Walk on the Moon'', and that was followed by her performance alongside George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg in the 2000 blockbuster '' The Perfect Storm''. She was especially lauded and honored for the 2002 film '' Unfaithful'', which earned he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
