Ratification in New Hampshire
In 1787, when asked about his opinion of the Philadelphia constitutional proceedings happening in secret, Patrick Henry famously replied, "I smell a rat!" Henry opposed the proposed Constitution because he feared it would centralize power in a strong national government. This put Henry at odds with the Federalists, who viewed the existing Articles of Confederation as an insufficient yoke to bind the several states into "a more perfect union." But Henry was not alone in his opposition. Many throughout the newly independent states shared his fears. Collectively, they came to be known as Antifederalists, and New Hampshire had a strong contingent.
Economist Covers PorcFest XI
"New Hampshire is a natural stamping-ground for freedom-lovers. It has low taxes, lean bureaucracy and some of the loosest gun laws in America. Grown-ups can ride around without seat-belts or motorcycle helmets. The right to rebel when public liberty is 'manifestly endangered' is enshrined in the state constitution."

Here's just a small sampling of the over 100 scheduled events (these are ones I've attended myself!)... More...
Forbes: FSP is "Hotbed of Libertarian Activism in the Country"
Kashmir Hill of Forbes covers the Free State Project: "When I speak to [Cody] Wilson months later by phone, he compares the Free State Project in New Hampshire with Silicon Valley; both places have libertarian-leaning techies trying to make disruptive technologies popular. 'Silicon Valley is more capitalized and less about practical liberty than the Free State community, which has a better stake in the freedom at the heart of these technologies,' he says. 'It's the hotbed of libertarian activism in the country.'" Read the whole article here.
Weare Settles Lawsuit for $57,500
From the Union Leader: MANCHESTER — The town of Weare has agreed a $57,500 settlement in a lawsuit filed by a woman who said her First Amendment rights were violated when she was arrested for video recording police during a traffic stop.
Carla Gericke, president of New Hampshire's Free State Project, was arrested in March 2010 and initially charged with illegal wire tapping. Although the charge was dropped, Gericke filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the town, police department and arresting officers, saying her arrest was retaliatory.
"I'm thrilled the case is settled," Gericke said in an email Friday. "It was a long road, but the payoff is that we now have binding precedent affirming the First Amendment to record police traffic stops. I also am cautiously optimistic that the settlement will cause law enforcement to be more hesitant to arrest videographers exercising their rights. I think we've already seen positive change come out of this case in that regard." Read more...

Powerful Rebuke to Cops, Says Reason
Reason's senior editor, Jacob Sullum covers FSP President Carla Gericke's Appeals Court win. "Three years ago, in Glik v. Cunniffe, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit upheld a man's First Amendment right to record an arrest on Boston Common. Last week, in Gericke v. Weare, the court upheld a woman's First Amendment right to record a traffic stop in Weare, New Hampshire. The combination of these two decisions is a powerful rebuke to cops who continue to harass people with bogus wiretapping charges when they dare to capture images or sound of police encounters on their cellphones.

Russia Today also weighed in with an article titled "Americans have First Amendment right to film police, US appeals court rules."
FSP President Wins Case: Right to Film at Traffic Stops Established
From the Union Leader: Individuals have a right to film police during traffic stops, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday in a 2010 case filed by Free State Project President Carla Gericke against Weare police.
Even so, police may impose limits on the public's right to film when circumstances justify them, Judge Kermit V. Lipez ruled. Such situations include the need to maintain safety and control, particularly during traffic stops, which can be "especially fraught with danger to police officers."
"It was clearly established at the time of the stop that the First Amendment right to film police carrying out their duties in public, including a traffic stop, remains unfettered if no reasonable restriction is imposed or in place," Lipez wrote in his 21-page decision. The ruling upheld a Concord federal court decision that denied Weare police officers' claim that they were entitled to "qualified immunity'' in charging Gericke with illegal wiretapping during the March 24, 2010, traffic stop.

At only 4.4%, the New Hampshire Unemployment Rate is Head and Shoulders Above the Nation
The New Hampshire unemployment rate has fallen every month in 2014. April was no different. The preliminary April unemployment rate is 4.4%, a drop from the March rate of 4.5%.
New Hampshire Employment Security issued a press release with the news.
Seasonally adjusted estimates for April 2014 placed the number of employed residents at 714,640, an increase of 2,200 from the previous month and an increase of 10,770 from April 2013. The number of unemployed residents decreased by 1,160 over-the-month to 32,740. This was 6,290 fewer unemployed than in April 2013. From March 2014 to April 2014, the total labor force increased by 1,040 to 747,380. This was an increase of 4,480 from April 2013.

The Statement of Intent Isn't a Promise
Why doesn't every libertarian sign up for the Free State Project? For some, deep local connections to family or friends make it difficult or undesirable to move, and I don't wish to see them uprooted: society trumps politics every time. But for many, the issue is being unable to promise confidently to move to New Hampshire within six or seven years. This short essay is for these people.
The Free State Project's Statement of Intent isn't a promise. It begins, "I hereby state my solemn intent to move to the state of New Hampshire." What does "solemn intent" mean? Let's look at the word "intent" first.
In normal usage, "intend" and "intent" convey something weaker than a promise. "I intended to go, but something came up." Here, the speaker isn't admitting to breaking a promise; instead, he's simply noting that he meant to pursue a particular course of action, but unforeseen circumstances changed his mind. When you intend to do something, you admit it might not be possible, but you think it will be. More...
Aeon Magazine: A Libertarian Utopia
"This is the thing, ultimately, that seems to bring people to the Free State Project. They become libertarians because they hate taxes, or fear a police state, or distrust collusion between the state and corporate power. But they move to New Hampshire because they want, more than any of these things, to build something new together." Read Livia Gershon's full take on the Free State Project at Aeon Magazine.
New Hampshire Unemployment Rate Drops to 4.5%, US Unemployment Rate Stuck at 6.7% Since December
While the size of the New Hampshire labor market increases month after month, the unemployment rate continues to fall. While the US unemployment rate remains stagnant at 6.7%, there is a clear trend developing in New Hampshire. Jobs, job and more jobs! New Hampshire continues to have the 2nd lowest unemployment rate in the East. The only Eastern state with a lower unemployment rate is Vermont at 3.4%. The unemployment rate is 5.9% in Maine and 6.3% in Massachusetts, the only other states that border New Hampshire. See more detailed New Hampshire employment data at New Hampshire Freedom. More...

Legends of the Porcupine
...Where else has this prickly but adorable creature been used as a symbol? Well, as early as 1394, Louis I, Duke of Orléans established the chivalric Order of the Porcupine, proclaiming himself Grand Master and bestowing this honor upon loyal knights who would wear "a tortil of three gold chains, at the end of which a gold porcupine hung on a green-enamelled flowered terrace". The motto of the order was « Cominus et eminus » ("From close and from far"). Kind of like Porcupines in New Hampshire!!
Meanwhile, across the Channel, a blue porcupine was used as the heraldic symbol of the Sidney family. Sir Philip Sidney, poet and soldier of Penshurst in Kent, inherited the Lord Leycester Hospital, Warwick, and placed his mark above its doors. Note that the hospital is not actually a medical establishment; the word "hospital" is used in the medieval sense of a charitable institution for the old and infirm. This establishment has served as a retirement home for ex-servicemen for centuries.... read more at Sovereign Sandy

Free Staters Featured in The New Yorker
From The New Yorker: "By 2011, the brothers had heard about Bitcoin, the digital currency produced through a computerized process called 'mining,' known for its ability to facilitate anonymous online transactions. Bitcoins are generally unregulated, a fact that appealed to the Harveys, who were fed up with the government's role in their business. They began accepting bitcoins at their store. In December, 2011, they decided to move to the United States. They settled in New Hampshire, a popular destination for Bitcoin-loving advocates of small government." Read more...
Sugar Shack
...I had visited a "sugar shack", as they're called, once before several years ago, but I was particularly excited about this event because it advertised "Maple chili, hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and Biscuits with Maple butter". I swore to myself that, to honor the cultural traditions of my adopted Yankee home, I would eat ALL THE THINGS.
This particular sugar shack is actually on my own block, if you can call the long, winding, rutted, frost-heaved (and that's just the paved parts) series of roads I had to traverse through the rustic town of Twin Peaks to get to it "circling the block". But basically, if I just took every right turn, I did get there, and afterwards wound up back at my own driveway, so… it was around the block. On the way there, I stopped at the country store on the corner and bought some local raw milk and local fresh eggs. After almost ten years in New Hampshire, it still blows my mind that this is my life now. I mean that in a good way. :-) ...

WINNIPEG — Former NDP energy minister Tim Sale has made a solid case that Manitoba Hydro's singular focus on new dams is a path not to a bright future but back to the past. That case is strengthened by an examination of a basic assumption that drives Hydro's plans to build the $6.2-billion Keeyask dam and the $10.2-billion Conawapa.
The assumption is energy demand in Manitoba will grow indefinitely.

Results 1 to 9 of 9
Thread: Printing
I have generally used Epson printers. I like the quality I get.
I print a few 4x6 photos and some hybrid stuff.
Other than that, I will get bulk photos printed locally.
When I have done larger projects, like invitations and announcements,
I use ink and usually have to replace the cartridges. My current printer takes 5 different cartridges and wont print if one of them is out, even if I just want to print up some directions in black only.
The cost of ink is something I would look in too also, when you are shopping for your printer. I had great plans to do lots of books and projects, but replacing the ink was getting too expensive. It is cheaper for me to go to Target and have holiday cards printed than to use my own printer and make some fun digi-style card.
I have to agree with Liz, I am an Epson girl too. I really like the quality of the prints I get from the Epson printers, but, you must use mostly Epson paper with the printers too. I have found using HP paper in an Epson changes the print quality. Although, I have had some off brand papers I found at a dollar store, and got good quality prints out of them.
I have printed some of my scrapbook pages 8x8 and liked how they came out. You can buy Epson paper that is for scrapbooks.
The main drawback though, is the price of Ink. Lately it seems as if the prices have gone up a lot, especially for the black inks.
Epson recently came out with a new printer that is low cost and supposed to be very good quality. Sorry, can't remember what the model was.
Good luck in your search. Definitley take into account the cost of ink when buying.

I use Epson also.
However, I use off brand printer cartridges bought from printpal or 123inkjets. I like buying a box of 5 cartridges of each of the 5 colors for $65 rather than paying $45 a cartridge.
Epson ink is fantastic and does last substanially longer. However, I find if I'm printing something I want to last it is a high quality photo and I have it printed at Mpix.
Scrapbook pages that get printed go in a plastic sleeve in a photo album and seem to be holding up well after 10 years.
Having said that...I tend not to print my pages now. I save a second copy as *.tiff in a screensaver folder and use that folder as my screen saver.
I hate how if one of the 5 cartridges is empty you can't print. I also hate how you have to remember to go back and go into advance settings to set the print to black and white only each time you send a job to the printer. The darling confirmation screen for my weekly unemployment is blue or cyan ink and I forget to change it so that cartridge is almost empty.
I am an Epson girl too and LOVE my printer!
I use own-brand inks which you prolly can't get over there, plus I can't remember what they are called, but they print as well as the Epson brand ones INHO.
As far as paper goes, I find that it makes a very big difference. I prefer to spend a bit more and buy Ilford Galerie classic pearl paper which is fantastic!
Of course, the other alternative is to get your LOs printed here through the stroe - the quality is amazing and the pricing is very competitive :)
I had an Epson when I moved to Australia.. then when I went to get a new printer.. the heads were part of the ink cartridges, which I didn't like. So I switched to Canon. I now have a CAnnon 4500i and LOVE it, however, with the quality of the printing that we now enjoy from Big W, Harvey Norman or K Mart - and even some of the camera shops, it's not worth printing your own pictures. It ends up costing more in ink than the prints would. An 8 x 10 here is about $3.59 and the colour is right on the money! I was very impressed when I got my pages printed. Hope that helps Maggie!
I've now started making all my pages 8x8 and am making books to order through snapfish since they now print 8x8 books which are less expensive than 12x12s and easier to keep. I don't print any of my work since I don't have a good printer so this info. is good in case I decide to buy a printer anytime soon.
Also, I just did a digi-scrapped Christmas card and ordered them through Walgreens. Sadly they only print out their formatted cards but I ordered one so I could see if I liked it, then placed a special order using the card I created for a set of 20 + envelopes. Prices are very reasonable but I had to do it in person and did not have the luxury of on-line ordering since I did not use one of their pre-designed formats.
Good Luck.
I use an HP Photosmart printer and love the way it prints but as others have said it's costly in the ink dept!! Mine takes 5 colored ones and one main black and I do have the luxury of still printing when one cartridge goes out but only for a few more copies. I hear Kodak has come out with a printer that is suppose to be easy on ink--remains to be seen if one prints alot. As for papers-it's different strokes for different folks in that area. I've been printing on presatation paper and like the way it looks but for LOs I would use something better. Good luck and have fun!!!
My DH bought me an all in one Kodak printer, he was sick of me complaing about the cost of ink. I love it and I find the prints are very good. The ink is very reasonable, it has 1 black cartdrige & 1 color cartridge. To replace them it costs me $25cdnfor both.For my needs it has done a great job, i print out 8x8's for family and they think the quality is very good. I usually buy kodak photo paper
and I prefer matte over gloss.Chris

Lady Gaga literally flew into the press preview for her artRave last night, wearing a hovercraft called Volantis—and that was the only way she got high all night, she assures us. The rest of the crowd, we can't say as much for. Gaga, always keeping us on our toes, decided to turn a new leaf that didn't involve what raves are usually known for. During her stay at the Marina Abramović Institute, the singer had to give up a lot of things—speaking and wearing clothing were eliminated during some exercises, and drugs and alcohol were strictly prohibited. Video footage from their work together appeared on large screens during the artRave, a party thrown by Gaga, Abramović, the photographers responsible for much of ARTPOP's imagery and the "Applause" music video (and V's extended September issue editorials), Inez & Vinoodh, and the "man of the hour," as Gaga herself declared, Jeff Koons. "It's from art to pop and back again," said Gaga in between songs, describing not only her new album but her new mindset, which is clearly focused, as of late, on purity of form.
While all the way in Amsterdam, our girl Miley lit up a joint on stage at the MTV EMAs, here in the best city on earth, a native New Yorker celebrated the drop of not only a new album but a "concept," or, as the little monsters have been tweeting, a "way of life," by leaving the drugs behind. During a particularly emotional set, Gaga, seated before a white piano in her third costume of the night—a sparkly white version of the "Dope" single cover suit—said that quitting drugs and alcohol has been one of the most difficult things she's ever done. "I still have a really hard time with it," she admitted to her fans, collaborators, supporters, and three open bars. "I want tonight to be a change. I do not have to be high to be creative. I do not have to be drunk to have a good idea. I can sit with my thoughts and not feel crazy. I can do it without the dope." It was one of many raw moments witnessed throughout the party that started on a ferry from Manhattan and ended in Red Hook, Brooklyn, where the Jeff Koons statue featured on ARTPOP's cover welcomed guests at the door—by the way, it's much larger than life size, and anatomically correct, even behind the ball.
A human mirror ball posed and passed out ARTPOP-related prizes over one bar while a Gaga lookalike stripped completely over another (and yes, she stayed nude for the rest of the night). Camera crews caught the whole event and streamed it live on Vevo as hashtagged images and messages from fans appeared on the giant video screens. DJ White Shadow went on before the Mother Monster appeared in archival Gareth Pugh, making her way to the stage through the audience while dancers emerged from behind a tiered platform. VIP was high above the show and had a perfect view of the aforementioned Koons and three more of his new works revealed that night, but the best seat in the house to see Gaga in the flesh was where Koons himself stood—on the floor with all the most outrageous fans. As Gaga dedicated "Gypsy" to him, adding that the "harassing" and "torturing" of the artist must come to an end, the pop art icon beamed and posed for selfies with Little Monsters. Side note: the Monsters, as devoted and loving as they all are, still couldn't let the party end without a fight. Before Gaga entered the room a bouncer had to break up a real brawl in the middle of the impatient crowd.
Gaga's message, once she appeared, was, as always, one of all-inclusiveness. It seemed to calm the crowd, but that was most likely due, too, to a certain someone's charisma: It's very hard to look away from the woman once she takes the stage. The final costume change was to Gaga's now signature and markedly simplistic black spandex, bringing home her declaration on the role of the worker-artist. After all the glittering and shining white outfits, this one suggested negative space. Describing a process that is highly collaborative, singing the lyrics "do what you want with my body," Gaga makes sure the world knows that she plan on giving everything to the creatives that surround her. It's a process that pays: By making herself a canvas for the art and fashion world to draw on, she's certainly become the a favorite subject for many a respected talent—and it doesn't look like the work is slowing down any time soon.

After 12-years on the job, Emerald Isle Mayor Art Schools says he will not seek re-election.
Schools made the announcement at a luncheon.
He tells WITN, "This is a time where things are going well. They've been going well for the last 12-years, can always find something else to do. I'm gonna be busy with something. I have no idea what it is. I had no idea when I moved down here 20-years ago that I'd wind up being mayor so I'll find something."
While Schools might no longer wear the mayor hat come December, he says he will still be very active with several different local boards.

Date Climbed: Oct 30, 2004
|I've been up twice when there was snow, once from ~6300', once from ~8000'. This hike is too hot in the summer. As usual, I'm signing this after the fact as I cruise around looking for other info.

|Great dayhike
Date Climbed: Mar 11, 2007
|Summited Hayford via deadman cyn in four hours. Snow was patchy up near the cabin and was patchy along the ridgeline. Nice, well marked route. Clear, cool, light winds. Could see the snow capped Sierra crest on the far western horizon. Great day on the mountain.

Date Climbed: Feb 18, 2007
|Redsplashman (see below entry) and my self had the mountain all to our selves as snow made the peak a bit more interesting. Sacha was a great hiking companion and we had an enjoyable day and it was nice to get this one in the winter.

Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2006
|summited this dry peak with a great climbing partner. we left extra water in the cabin which got stolen by some kids that were looking for waterfalls to play in. we had the last laugh when we told them that they had hiked into the wrong mountain range. that must have hurt after hiking four miles down a rocky wash in flip-flops. otherwise a great day, and great start to my four day climbing adventure.

|Route Climbed: Deadman Canyon to SW Ridge
|Duane and I climbed Hayford for our ninth Ultra prominence peak in nine days. We started up the draw from the cabin, but quickly tired of this and headed up to the ridge west of the draw. There we found a cairned use trail that led to Hayford's SW ridge. On the west face we skirted the rock outcrops on the left, staying close to the base of the rocks. Nice cool day, even on the descent. Found a flat tire on the rental on our return to the TH. Happily it was a nail instead of a rock, so it was fixable!
|Posted Jun 7, 2005 2:38 am
|Route Climbed: standard - Deadman Cyn to SW Ridge Date Climbed: April 9, 2005
|A surprise storm during the previous night blanketed the mountain and surrounding desert with snow down to around 4500 feet. The mountain was still socked in by storm clouds when we rolled up to the trailhead.
A pretty tough dayhike, considering all the old (& new) snow on the ground, the constant winds (particularly on the SW ridge), the low visibility minorly hampering our route-finding, the hard pellets of snow pelting our faces as it blew at us, and the f'in unexpected spring cold. After full conditions for much of the upper route, the snow and wind stopped and the clouds parted briefly as we took our last few steps to the summit. The partial views were great.
A little icy on the SW ridge in places, particularly on the steeper portions (of course). Ice axes were essential; crampons would have been nice, but...
Thanks to my partners Mike and Dean for the extra clothes.

Safe hunters always unload their firearms before crossing an obstacle, then they reload after the obstacle has been safely crossed.
If you are crossing a fence by yourself, unload your firearm first.
While protecting the muzzle from debris, place your firearm on the ground with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction away from where you plan to cross the fence.
Cross the fence away from the muzzle, retrieve your firearm, check the barrel for obstructions, load, engage the safety and continue your hunt.
Step 1.
If you are crossing a fence or other obstacle with another hunter, unload all firearms first. Pass your firearm to the other hunter with the action open and visible.
Step 2.
Once the second hunter is safely holding both firearms, the first hunter may cross the fence.
Once safely across, the unloaded firearms are handed to the hunter who has crossed the fence. The muzzle should always be pointed in a safe direction.
Step 4.
With the muzzles still pointing in a safe direction, the second hunter can now cross the fence.
Now that you've crossed safely, load your firearm, engage the safety and continue your hunt.

The joint goal of the Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board (YCB) and the Downtown Council last summer was "to interrupt a troubling behavior cycle of disruptive and disengaged youth" in the city's downtown area. "The results are more than impressive," noted Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau at a February 13 morning ceremony at Minneapolis City Hall, pointing to a 42 percent reduction in juvenile crime in the downtown area and an eight percent decrease in overall violent crime last year. "There [also] was an 11 percent decrease in "late night" violent crime," she added. Harteau credits the work of the YCB, who partnered with local large corporations and community groups "to connect the troubled teens to opportunities. They promoted better behavior guidelines…offering the teens passes and bus tokens to help them get home safely."
Sixteen YCB staff members were presented with the Chief's Award of Merit Certificate during the City Hall ceremony: Akim Anderson, James Everett, Bryon Hawkins, Terrall Lewis, Tameika Williams, Shane Zahn, Latoya Balogun, Johnell Hallman, Wendell Johnson, Dave Marcotte, Darrell Young, Evan Barnett, Tangene Hayslett, Sarah Klouda, Jernell McLane and Amged Yusuf.

Kevin Clash
this wiki
Kevin Jeffrey Clash[1] (b. September 17, 1960) is an accomplished puppeteer whose characters include Elmo, Clifford and Hoots the Owl. He currently serves as Sesame Street Muppet Captain and co-executive producer. He was promoted to "senior creative advisor" at Sesame Workshop in May 2007. [2] The 2011 documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey chronicles Clash's life as a puppeteer.
Clash was born and raised in Turner's Station, a predominantly black suburb of Baltimore, Maryland.[3]
Clash grew up with parents George and Gladys, older siblings George Jr. ("Georgie") and Anita ("NeNe"), and little sister Pam. His father works as a flash welder operator at Raymond Metals and a neighborhood handyman, and his mother ran a daycare.[4]
Clash began building puppets at the age of ten. Clash's parents were supportive of his interest in puppetry, driving him to puppet shows, allowing for his love of television and craft, and not urging him to attend college when he announced he was pursuing puppetry professionally. Among his television viewing were such series as Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, and H.R. Pufnstuf. Clash has admitted he watched television inches away from the screen, with no permanent eye damage. [4] His parents were supposedly more amused than angered when he cut apart his father's good overcoat to create a monkey puppet with the fuzzy black lining.[4] As a tribute, Elmo's parents were named George and Gladys in an Elmo's World segment; their names have since been changed.
He performed on Baltimore's Harbor Front as a teenager. In high school, he was voted "Most Likely to be a Millionaire."
Early television work
Clash's first television work was for a CBS affiliate in Baltimore. He also performed a pelican character for Zep, a local Washington, D.C. show airing on WTOP.
In the early '80s, he performed regularly, with Jim Martin, on Bob Keeshan's Wake Up with the Captain, a continuation of Captain Kangaroo. Clash performed a young boy named Artie and other characters, built puppets, and occasionally appeared on-camera, as Kevin the college student and various ensemble roles.
From 1981 to 1986, he appeared in The Great Space Coaster, as Goriddle Gorilla, Rory and Huggle Scuffy. During this stint, he attracted the attention of Muppet designer Kermit Love, who invited him to work on various Henson projects.
Coming to the Muppets
Kevin Clash first met Kermit Love in the 1970s, who occasionally arranged for the fledgling puppeteer to visit the set of Sesame Street. In 1979, the main Muppet performers were performing in a Muppet Movie float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and extra puppeteers were needed for the Sesame Street float. Clash was brought in to perform Cookie Monster for the event.[4]
Later, in 1983, he was officially hired to perform in ten episodes of Sesame Street. However, at the time he was performing full-time on two other shows, and the producers of both refused to work around his schedule. Thus, Clash was forced to tear up his contract to appear on Sesame Street. [4]
Kevin Clash was also given the opportunity to perform in The Dark Crystal, but Kermit Love dissuaded him, urging Clash to concentrate on his other series work.
Kevin Clash officially became a Sesame Street puppeteer in 1984. Some of his earliest characters included Hoots the Owl and Dr. Nobel Price, later supplemented by the likes of Baby Natasha and Kingston Livingston III. However, it was Elmo who became his main character, once Clash assumed the part from previous puppeteers Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt, and placed his own imprint on the red monster. Clash has also sung in voice-over in a variety of film and cartoon inserts on the series, including "Skin", "Animal Books", and "Take Care of That Smile."
Clash served as an additional Muppet performer on Follow That Bird, where he performed the voice of one of the feathered friends, [5] and reprised Elmo, along with other characters, in the feature film The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and innumerable specials, appearances, and videos.
More Muppets
During the late 1980s, Clash was involved with a variety of Henson productions. He performed P.J. in the Play-Along videos, and Father Bunny and Be-Bop in Tale of the Bunny Picnic. He would also perform Eliot Shag on Dog City, various characters in Muppet Time insertitials. He also performed the title character in the Muppet Sing-Along video Billy Bunny's Animal Songs.
Clash became one of the main Muppet performers on The Jim Henson Hour. His two main characters on the series were the lizard-like Leon and the bass player Clifford. Out of these two, only Clifford has remained a major character, subsequently appearing in The Muppets at Walt Disney World, The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson, a guest spot on The Arsenio Hall Show, the albums Muppet Beach Party and Kermit Unpigged, and the feature films Muppets from Space and The Muppets Wizard of Oz. However, Clifford became a star when he hosted the short-lived Muppets Tonight, for which Clash also performed Mulch and Craniac.
Clash performed in many of the recent Muppet films, including Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets from Space, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and The Muppets Wizard of Oz. In Muppet Treasure Island, he performed one of the main villains, Polly Lobster, as well as Spa'am and Black Dog. He also performed many of Frank Oz's characters in many scenes, and Frank Oz performed the voices later. Although he performed the Sam the Eagle puppet but not the voice in Muppet Treasure Island, he would later perform the characters voice, but not the puppetry, in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (John Kennedy did the actual puppeteering), as well as in the video game Muppets Party Cruise.
Creature Shop Work
Clash's worked on Jim Henson's fantasy film Labyrinth. Clash provided puppeteered and voiced the lead Fiery, while also operating Ambrosius and one of The Four Guards. Clash also worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, supplying the face and voice of Splinter.
On Dinosaurs, Clash starred as Baby Sinclair, and also played Howard Handupme and various episodic mammals.
Reflecting on his decades as a puppeteer, in the fall of 2006, Kevin Clash released an autobiography titled My Life as a Furry Red Monster.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation interviewed Clash in 2004 for the Archive of American Television. The two-hour interview was posted on YouTube in 2008. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Infinite Armour

|Literal English
|Infinite Armour
|English anime
|Infinite Kujaku Armour
|Naruto Episode #218
|Appears in
The Infinite Armour was a unique armoured chest plate, fashioned into the shape of a tiger's face. This armour has the abilities to take almost all the damage in a fall and draw out and, at an alarming rate, absorb the chakra of anyone or anything that comes into contact with it: when Gaara's chakra-imbued sand came into contact with it, the chakra moulded into the sand was drained and the sand fell inert. When Rock Lee tried to attack Suiko directly, the armour drained the chakra out of the kick. The chakra drained can be used to revitalise the user's chakra and body. Another weapon, in the users possession, can be used to extend the reach of the armour's chakra draining ability. This becomes evident when Suiko used the armour in conjunction with a flail-like mace, that allowed the Infinite Armour to drain an opponent's chakra through it.
It is first seen worn by Suiko of the Four Celestial Symbols Men. After Suiko's defeat by Gaara, it was then summoned by the Four Celestial Symbols Men leader, Hōki. While still wearing the armour, Hōki summons and revives the body of the armour's creator, Seimei, offering up his own body to resurrect Seimei. Hōki used the armour and a specialised cage to drain the One-Tailed Shukaku's chakra from Gaara to power the jutsu that revived Seimei and empowered all of his crafted weapons.
The Infinite Armour cannot drain chakra faster than a piercing projectile can penetrate the armour itself: Suiko died when Gaara felled him with a Spear of Sand, and Seimei was defeated when Gaara used his Ultimately Hard Absolute Attack: Spear of Shukaku technique to pierce the armour and then used Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral to crush and bury both Seimei and the armour.

Bellator Fighting Championships lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez will know his next opponent on May 14.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that's the date that Bellator brass has determined that season-four lightweight tourney finalists Michael Chandler (7-0 MMA, 4-0 BFC) and Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (9-1 MMA, 2-0 BFC) will square off for the opportunity to face Alvarez.
While the fight has not yet been officially announced, it's expected to take place at Bellator 44, which is scheduled for Caesars Atlantic City in Atlantic City, N.J.
Featuring a non-title fight between Bellator middleweight champ Hector Lombard and 12-year veteran Falaniko Vitale, Bellator 43 airs on MTV2.
A former All-American wrestler at Missouri, Chandler made his MMA debut in August 2009. He earned three stoppage wins, including two under the Strikeforce banner, to open his career before signing with Bellator in 2010.
In Bellator's season-four tourney, Chandler opened with a quarterfinal win over Marcin Held via first-round submission before grinding his way to a decision win over a game Lloyd Woodard at this past week's Bellator 40 event.
Meanwhile, Freire earned his booking with a spectacular flying-knee knockout of Toby Imada at Bellator 39. The brother of Bellator featherweight contender Patricio "Pitbull" Freire, Patricky also earned a stoppage in his Bellator debut with a third-round knockout of "Razor" Rob McCullough.
The winner of Chandler vs. Freire will face Alvarez later this year.

In light of the recent OJ verdict, may be "fun" to look back on the murder case - vote and discuss.
Perhaps we can do this weekly, I'll fire up another one next week - a famous debated trial or a historic event that still has uncertainty (Kennedy, etc).
Anyways - the OJ murder trial - did he really do it?
If you write a book called "If I did it...." then you probably did.
I have never been motivated to write a book about myself personally committing a crime I didn't do.
I don't drink the Kool-Aid, and I am done making excuses. Only keeping it real...

Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
Yes, for the murder case
No, for the armed robbery case
Somehow the legal system ended up getting it backwards.

"If your worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on" Lance Armstrong
"Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in." Paris Hilton

Yes...with help in the murder case.
Carrying the banner for ISU.
Yeah his lawyers had it right when they said it was impossible for him to get a fair trail this time around
That said, maybe it makes up for the trial he had last time with the super expensive lawyer.
My question now is... what's that girl's father going to do now that OJ is in jail and he can't harass him all the time?
Although I voted that he committed murder, the irony of finding this thread while I took a break from studying for my Criminal Law final is too much. Honestly, there is an argument that he may have committed voluntary manslaughter, which isn't technically murder, although it is homicide. Under the Model Penal Code (which is sort of a legal guideline for legislatures that a bunch of Crim Law professors dreamt up, and isn't really a binding authority at all), if someone commits homicide while suffering from "extreme emotional distress", it would be considered manslaughter. Given the state of his personal life, it's actually pretty feasible that an argument could be made for this. But to make a long story short, he still killed her.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
IMO, he did it..
If anyone has ever watched "My Name is Earl," I think Karma had a little something to do with what happened to Mr. OJ.
~Go Cyclones!
~Only you can make it happen.
~Never give up!
I'd be willing to lay down all of my credits says he did it.
Ok he may have done it, but this ***** still pisses me off
"If our efforts for all these years of pushing him drove him to commit armed robbery in Vegas, great!" Fred Goldman told reporters after the hearing.
. . . I guess I found a new word that is filtered
I dunno. I wasn't there to see.
Originally Posted by Flag Guy

Why? The guy most likely killed his daughter, what would you think? Just curious..
I am the dissenting view (sort of). Since 1994, I never though that he physically did it, but may have hired it done or hired to have the two roughed up and it ended up getting out of hand (so he is still guilty). Somehow the Mexican, Colombian, or Central American drug cartel is involved.
a jury of his peers said he didn't do it, if people feel other wise, blame the prosecution for not doing their job.
