Does any one know what kind of spider this is? I live in NH. I found it outside on one of my deck chairs.

This appears to be a very gravid female fishing/dock/nursery web spider (family Pisauridae) in the genus Pisaurina - see http://tinyurl.com/n6375u for an image. They are harmless to humans, although large specimens are capable of inflicting a painful bite if mishandled.
