Eddie Long Scandal; Atlanta Bishop's Ex Wife Claims Abusive Nature

Bishop Eddie Long's scandal continues, and now his ex-wife is coming forward and claiming that he had abusive tendencies. Of course, whenever there is a scandal of this size people will come out of the woodwork to claim they were somehow victimized by the perpetrator. 


Look at the Tiger Woods scandal.  What started as an affair allegation in the National Enquirer ballooned to double digit droves of women claiming to have been involved with the athlete.

Arguably, there's the possibility that these men are trying to somehow get something from the Bishop. However, some would argue that someone wouldn't lie about these types of claims in legal proceedings, as that can get you in a considerable amount of trouble.


Without knowing the victims, and without knowing the Bishop it's hard to pass judgement. Yes, the allegations could be true - but then again, they could be a lie as well. 


In 1985 the Bishop got divorced.  His ex wife claims he has a violent temper, and even lashed out at her while she was pregnant. However, again the Bishop denies the claims in the divorce proceedings and his ex wife cannot be reached for comment. Her brother knew nothing of the allegations, and says that Long is a "fine fellow."

New Zealand Earthquake 2010 Photos, Pictures, and Video

The New Zealand earthquake 2010 photos, pictures, and video are starting to surface. The earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand luckily didn't claim any lives, but it did do significant property damage. There are a significant number of earthquakes each year in the "Ring of Fire" which does include the New Zealand area. However, it's been several years since a quake has been felt in such a populated area.

New Zealand has a curfew in place to keep people off the streets after dark. This is to protect property and people from criminal mischief that happens during widespread power outages. The curfew makes it that much easier for law enforcement to make sure that everything remains safe.

The quake happened at about 4:35 AM local time, and the quake was centered about 35 miles outside of Christchurch. So far, estimates peg the damage at $1.4 billion.

Photos of the New Zealand earthquake can be found here, and the video can be seen below.

New Zealand Earthquake 2010 Pictures, Curfew, and Aftershocks

A New Zealand earthquake 2010 transpired yesterday, and now the citizens of Christchurch are under a curfew. Aftershocks continue, and some of them have been reported to be around 5 on the Richter scale.

Although New Zealand falls in the so-called "ring of fire" where lots of earthquakes are felt in the Pacific Rim, they haven't had a quake in such a populated area in many, many years.

The population of Christchurch is about 372,000.

The best thing is that no one is reported to have been killed by the earthquake.

This is only the latest natural disaster. One of the most devastating of the year was the Pakistan floods, and you can see pictures of that here.

Here are some photos of the New Zealand earthquake:
