Wedding photographer Kacper Skowron, a friend of the bride, said the party was “civilized” and “top-notch,” with guests from around the country.

Gallery co-owner Tom Burnison, however, said that, fueled by alcohol, it got out of control and potentially dangerous, including when a guest heaved a metal lamp into a plate glass window. “Calling the police was a last resort,” Burnison said.

When the only local police officer on duty that night arrived, Burnison and his wife asked him to help break up the party because it had gotten “out of hand,” with booze, water and broken glass on the floor, Chikaming Township police said. One guest was seen drinking straight out of a vodka bottle, Sepic said.

The officer called for backup and told everyone the party was over. Many guests left, but some refused and began cursing at officers, police said.

“Andy got angry and started yelling, ‘What are you doing? This is my wedding! You’re making my wife cry!’ ” Skowron said.

“The crowd was trying to hold back the groom from mouthing off more, but finally he broke free, and they had to take him down,” Sepic said of police. “He was heading for the officers. . . . Then the bride moved in and tried to interfere.”

As the newlyweds struggled on the ground, a police officer used a Taser on Somora, 29, police said. Pastuszwska, 28, was holding her new husband tight, and was shocked as well, Skowron and authorities said.

Nice! Now THAT’s a party.

But so we’re clear, ANY time ANY situation is out of control, you’ve GOT to GET control, and the BEST way is with ELECTRICITY. LOTS of electricity. …straight to the SPINE.

Do you need special permission to land something on the moon? – By Morgan Smith – Slate Magazine

Will these companies need special permission to put something on the moon?Not exactly. You don’t need anyone to sign off on a lunar landing, but you do need a permit to launch anything into space from Earth. Governments oversee private space activity through the framework provided by the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which has been signed by 91 nations, including all the major space-faring countries. The treaty restricts the exploration of outer space to peaceful purposes and says it should be performed for the benefit of all nations. Article VI specifically addresses nongovernmental entities in space; it declares nations should “require authorization” and “continuing supervision” of citizens’ actions, but it does not stipulate how this might be accomplished.

I love the caption: “the moon.”
