Read on and tell me what you think.....
Every week a new column will be posted. So come along on a journey with me to explore the world of dating in Europe in comparison to the U.S.
My goal is better defined in my mission statement as a writer:
To Whom It May Concern:
I have recently relocated to London from Miami to finish writing a book I started about the trials of dating and relationships. And the effects of how certain experiences can have on an individual. I do this by exploiting my own experiences and changes.
Living here in London for going on four months now, I have discovered a whole new world of dating. It's a very diverse culture here, completely different from American culture. I think it would be quite interesting to introduce the different aspects of dating here in Europe. I find it intriguing being a young woman on the dating scene to explore the new and exciting world of the male species and how they initiate conversation, dating and romance.
I am 25 year old female writer, born and raised in South Florida. I have a track record of 7 years of dating and about 2 years of writing. I finally would like to combine the two because I believe I have a lot to contribute to society by offering advice to young women in my generation and entertaining stories for all. I love to travel and write about my encounters. My personal goal is to promote the desire travel within our youth to expand the International knowledge of politics, culture and economics. Hopefully my column will promote travel among our youth to make our world a more knowledgeable place for all.
Although, I am not a published writer, I do think you have to start somewhere. I am in the process of looking for a literary agent. I am submitting segments of my book and the introduction to the column I have been writing.
I hope you enjoy!

With Justice Thurgood Marshall and Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. "on trial" at Elena Kagan's confirmation hearings, as one commentator portrayed it, President Obama's nominee defended Justice Marshall today.
At the outset of the second day of her hearings, Kagan "defended her view of Marshall, for whom she clerked in 1988, telling the committee that he played a major role in making the principle of equal protection under the law a reality for minorities," according to a Washington Post article.
Kagan made her remarks in the context of partisan clashing Monday "over judicial restraint and the proper reach of government," as the Post characterized the first day's statements.
Writing in Slate, Dahlia Lithwick focused on a largely partisan slugfest Monday where "Democrats really, really hate John Roberts" and Republicans accused Kagan of having clerked for "a well-known liberal activist judge." Lithwick saw a theme arising from the political pounding:
"[T]he reason Marshall and Roberts are the ones on trial here is…quite plain: Republicans fear that, in this confirmation hearing, Kagan is pretending to be just what Roberts pledged to be (temperate, centrist, and humble), but that once she takes the bench, she will become Marshall (legendary, visionary, liberal)."
Among Democrats criticizing Justice Roberts was Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, who took issue with the justice's characterization at his own hearing of the role of a judge as impartial umpire. "For all the talk of 'umpires' and 'balls and strikes' at the Supreme Court, the strike zone for corporations gets better every day," Whitehouse said. (more…)

There is only one other person who knows of my secret and that is my best friend. Her name is Shaylee Titania.We both go to boarding school in a rural place in England. Honestly, we don't even know where this place is because most of us are orphans that just got snatched up and taken here. None of us are quite sure why we were taken but we don't mind this place. Anyway once we turn 18 they tell us why they took us. There are some people that have had their parents send them here but no one really believes that a bunch of us are stolen kids. I mean who would believe that people could get away with stealing about 200 kids?
The boarding school is called the mist cloud highschool and is surrounded by forests. These forests aren't normal though, I mean kids have tried to run away before but there are things in these forests. That come out at night. We are forbidden from the forests after curfew because of this and every kid who goes in never gets heard of again. People have claimed to hear voices of some of the people who have gone into the forests, but everyone just thinks it is the way people deal with the dissappearances.
Well it was a new year of school and Shaylee and I were walking to form, we were both wearing our plaid school skirts, that were supposed to reach the knee, rolled up to mid-thigh. This went along with our white school shirts and blazers with the little school symbol of a cloud. People in this school didn't really care about uniform until the inspectors came to look at the school. Shaylee and I walked in to form room and looked around for any new kids, they always had a bunch of new ones each year. The problem was that nobody was here. We were too early. We went to take the seats right at the back of the class room that were half facing the entrance.
"You had those dreams again last night didn't you?" asked Shaylee
"Yeah Shay, they are awful, I don't evenknow what they are trying to tell me! I don't even know who is sending me dreams, and now they are becoming slightly different" I replied
"Well theres the crea-"
Suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. My jaw dropped. It was him. The one I had been dreaming about.

Wasp Barcode Technologies serves customers worldwide, with offices in the United States and in the United Kingdom
The Sunglasses Shop specializes in designer sunglasses, watches and accessories, offering luxury brands including Gucci, Maui Jim, and Ray-Ban. The online and store retailer started out with two employees, and rapidly expanded to a staff of fifteen to accommodate a growing customer base.
As Rod Works was growing its business, the company struggled to find the right point of sale (POS) solution. In trying out various options, Rod Works fell into the same conundrum faced by many smaller retail businesses. Affordable POS systems marketed to small business lacked the high-level inventory functionality of the enterprise-sized systems used by large chain retailers. Yet these costlier solutions were too time-consuming for the small retailer to learn and use.
Wasp QuickStore™ Point-of-Sale lights the way to a Brighter Future Harold's Fine Home Lighting is a company based on tradition. Harvey Hanson started the business during the depression when he used his artistic skills to create lamps and then sell them door-to-door.
Nicky Nicole, a new children's clothing store located in Hudson, Ohio needs a point of sale and retail management system that can keep up with such a fashion forward business. The owner, MJ Lehman, wants a data based point of sale system that provides accurate inventory control, sales tracking, and professional customer transactions.
Wasp provides asset, inventory, and time & attendance systems that are fairly priced, easily implemented, and ready-to-use after installation. Wasp listens to the needs of small business customers because of its passion to help each of those customers succeed.

Hey guys, so as you know, this game is slowly dying. Which means it's harder and harder to find those good coop players. Im looking for some to help me with the coop trophies. Add me if you're interested

Re: Looking for Good Co-op Buddies
If you guys are still getting the treasures for the muiltiplayer skins in co-op adventure levels, I still need the Gehangius Khan skin from Borneo. I watched some videos on the best srategy to get through Borneo without loosing lives so you can farm for the teasures you need. By now you can probably tell which ones I've watched. Anyway, it's hard finding people that will listen to you and not run into the open and get shot by every enemy on the map. Then, complain how I didn't revive them. I'll add you and see how many treasures we can get.

Awesome HotelPosted Dec 25, 2016
We totally recommend this hotel. The staff was terrific. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable as we were able to sleep like little kittens. Ask for Gina at the front desk because she's the bomb. We will again stay at this hotel on our next trip to San Diego. The zoo and the safari were also awesome.

Super professionalPosted Nov 21, 2016
Everybody on staff knew their job and did it properly. Requests for items like extra coffee packs and a curling iron were fulfilled in just a few minutes--not 30 or 45! It's pricey but you get what you pay for. Pool area is great.

Spectacular HotelPosted Oct 23, 2016
Location: Next to Seaport Village, excellent walking along the waters edge and other tourist highlights of the area.
Excellent choice for a wonderful hotel accommodations while on vacation! This hotel is conveniently located for walking access to nearby sights. The view from our room on the 31st floor was spectacular. The staff of the hotel went above and beyond to make our stay great! I definitely would stay here again if I was going to San Diego again.

Great conference center/hotelPosted Oct 10, 2016
Location: the Seaport Village area was convenient to get to, Lots of restaurants close by. Little Italy was easy to walk to and also to cab to.
It was very convenient to have the conference in the same hotel and the conference rooms were easy to get to .

Great Hotel Close to Areas of InterestPosted Sep 7, 2016
Pros: Convenient location. They provide a list of complimentary "forgotten items" such as toothpaste (which I forgot).
Cons: Parking should be included in room rate. So close to airport, would like to have a shuttle service available.
Location: Gaslamp district, Seaport Village, Seaworld, Balboa Park, Zoo.
Hotel convenient to areas of interest such as Seaport Village in back of hotel which has a nice place to walk around the waters edge and cute shops. Gaslamp district is within walking distance for restaurants and bars. Not far from airport so won't cost an arm and a leg to get to hotel (I used Uber which was shared ride for $10, includes tip). The pool area was fairly small compared to other places and one day I couldn't find a chair and there were ALOT of children. I didn't know there was another "adult" pool in the Harbor towers. The in room booklet didn't give any information about the pools. Drinks are expensive ($12 for a Mai Tai). Overall I liked this hotel and would stay there again.

Very nice hotelPosted May 30, 2016
Pros: The staff was wonderful.
Cons: Accessible rooms should be accessible. The door needs to be wider, there should not be a bathtub, and handicap bars should not be used as towel racks
Location: Parking cost was RIDICULOUS. Food prices were as well. My husband walked half a mile to buy food at Panda Express.
The staff was great, and so was the view from our room. The only negative things were that the room was supposed to be "accessible", but it really wasn't very accessible. It had a bath tub, and it was very difficult to get into and especially out of the tub. The handicap bars in the bathroom were placed very poorly. There was one in front of the sink that made it difficult for me to reach the faucet. The door to the room was not wide enough for my wheelchair to go through. To get into the room, I had to get out of my chair, fold it up, push it through the door, and then sit back down. In spite of that, we had a wonderful and relaxing time.

The Manchester Grand Hyatt is Fantastic.Posted May 26, 2016
Pros: The staff.
The Manchester Grand Hyatt is a wonderful property and great place to stay while in San Diego. The staff of the Grand are wonderful and really make your stay a fantastic experience. I would recommend the Manchester Grand to anyone visiting San Diego.

If you get a chance stay in a corner room the view is absolutely amazing!

Grand Hyatt San DiegoPosted Jan 2, 2016
Pros: Large facility with good restaurants.
Cons: The rooms definitely need improvement.
Location: Location was great, you can walk out the back door and right into the area with all the shops on the boardwalk.
The hotel itself is huge, with a great workout room and decent continental breakfast for the "club" rooms. But, for the price, the rooms were not nearly as nice as I expected from a Hyatt.

Special People
Book by: IndyClaire
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter1 (v.1) - Special People
Chapter 1
It was unusual for someone to capture my attention, especially if that person was one from the opposite sex. Only special people got my attention and he was special. I know that may seem mean for me to say, that only special people could hold my interest but do not judge me because you don't know what I mean by special. Maybe I'll tell you sometime but not now. But there was something important about this guy something barely anybody had. I could tell.
His coal black hair curled around his ears and hung around his neck. Bright intelligent eyes set in a deep forest green with angular facial features. He has a tall athletic build, that of a surfer I decided. Obviously he was better than good looking he was beautiful, I already knew that all the girls have been throwing themselves at him and I could see the proof right now.
I guess this is all a bit confusing for you so perhaps I should start at the beginning. I'm Ayla Ramone, I'm 17 and I go to Bridley High School at, you guessed it, Bridley Beach.
Today started off just like any Wednesday consisting of getting up, getting ready and driving my glossy red motorbike to school. Then the rumors started about there being a 'new guy' and how hot he was supposed to be. It was still the beginning of the day and I already heard a number of girls saying 'he will be mine' or ' I'd let him warm me up on any rainy day'. Of course I don't usually listen to the pathetic gossip of the other students but my best friend Kenya decided to fill me in on every little detail of what people had been saying, lets just say it was a good thing I could easily zone out because people had been saying a lot. Ever since Kenya had started going out with Kaden she's been determined to set me up with someone. But every time I said no she would just come back and back again with more suggestions. She only recently gave up but only after she'd gone through every, single guy in our grade, until today that is.
"Ayla!" She called, running up to me with Kaden in tow behind her.
"Morning bub, what's with the face?"
"What face?"
"The face that would make people think that your birthday and Christmas had come early this year on the same day." I teased, "so what's happening?"
"Well… nothing too exciting, besides the fact that there's a new guy in our year that lives right next door to Kaden ands supposed to be gorgeous!" She exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah I do know that, I heard the Blondeita's talking about him earlier and Amber's already making plans to capture he poor guy. He doesn't stand a chance." The Blondeita's are the shallow, mean, flawless and somehow popular girls of the school.
"Pshh that cow doesn't stand a chance. But you do know what this means don't you?!"
"Err… am I supposed to?" I looked at Kaden curiously of all people he would know what she was going on about but he just shrugged at me and grimaced. In other words, I wasn't going to like it.
"It means that I now have a new candidate for your next potential boyfriend." She stated matter-of-factly.
"Kenya you know that's not going to happen. You know the sort of guy he has to be for me to even be able to date him, and what are the chances of that?" I sighed.
"Well he could be! You never know until you meet him, that's the only way to tell." She puffed. We had this same conversation every time she found me a 'potential boyfriend', but I was always right.
"I doubt it." I said simply and just walked away. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I know I said that I don't pay much attention to the people around me but Kenya and Kaden are special too and everyone needs somebody to be friends with. No matter how annoying they may be, don't get me wrong I love them both to death but you have to admit that you'd get annoyed too if your best friend was always trying to set you up with someone.
Math, English and Science all came and went smoothly with no sighting of the new guy. Though I still heard the whispers about him, mostly from the girls and even some from the guys, it seemed that they felt threatened by him or were going to try and get him into their 'crowd' to make them more popular with the girls. Even Jesse Sharp was looking kind of worried about his status, and that was really saying something considering that he was the school's top gun.
So yeah everything was fine, until about ten minutes into my last and favorite class, Visual Arts. Which is where he decided to show up. And that's everything so far unless you want to hear all my childhood memories up to this day but I don't think they're too important so back to the present.
"Class, class can I please have your attention?" Mrs. Kat (yes, Kat) called from the doorway, everyone's head turned in her direction obediently. That's one of the things I love about having her as a teacher, she was totally respected but could still be really fun and carefree with her lessons. "Everybody, this is Craig Bernths, he's new to the school if you hadn't already figured that out and I expect you all to treat him with respect." She gave us this speech every time there was a new student or at the beginning of the year and then we would always do this thingy where we have to tell everyone about ourselves. So usually I just carry on with my work when she does this. But he was different; I had to look to see what all the commotion was about. There he was, standing in the doorway to my favorite class, looking right at me. He smiled and gave a small, awkward yet somehow, sexy wave; yes crazy I know how can a wave be sexy? But it just was. As Mrs. Kat introduced him, "Okay well you all know the drill, everyone stop what you're doing and get to you seats so we can start. I want to help make Craig feel welcome and comfortable in this class. So one at a time starting from the front row someone get up and tell us about themselves." She clapped her hands together once enthusiastically and shooed everyone into motion.

Sometimes a man just wants what he's not supposed to have. For me, that something was Elise, Todd's daughter. Years back, when he and I first started the company, he used to keep pictures of her on his desk, and sometimes he would show them off, a proud father, to the other executives and to me. It got to be a joke between them, where every morning they'd surround Todd outside his office, and say, "Hey, how's that gorgeous little girl of yours?" And he's smile, and say, "She's just fine. More like her father every day."
A few year later, the company hit a buisness boom, and we started expanding. Todd and I were CEOs, and the department decided to hire an errand girl, part time, to bring coffee and stack papers so that our secretaries could spend more time on real work. Of course Elise, who was in high school by that time, was Todd's choice for the job, and we decided to humor him. Three times a week after school, for tips and minimum wage, she'd drop by the office and help out. She was a quiet, slight girl, but she worked dilligently and respectfully. She was just so innocent and eager to please.
One evening, a Thursday, I asked Elise to stay later than usual so that she could file the huge stack of documents piled on top of steel cabinet. When I offered to tip her generously for her time, she agreed, the innocent little thing. I sat at my desk, pretending to do paperwork, but all the while watching her little figure sort through the manila folders and shuffle papers around. Oh, she was so lovely. Desire that I had never felt before coursed through me. I loved her. I loved watching her. I wanted her.
After that, every Thursday, I would pay her to file my papers, and every week I would sit and watch her. She never seemed to notice, or mind. She was absorbed in her work, as I was absorbed in her. The arrangement suited us both, and Todd, who knew only that I had suddenly acquired a lot more filing to do in the last few weeks, never suspected a thing. Why should he? I was his best friend and buisness partner. I was married. And Elise--she was just so young.


text: "Drown your past regrets in coffee and cigarettes." I'm a ridiculous person who wishes she had been been born in the past. The girl who always found solace in writing and roleplaying wacky and unique characters. I'm not your average nerd, though I do tend to play a lot of table top Dungeons and Dragons in my spare time. We've all got our vices, cigarettes, cigars and a good rum being some of my own. I love to read, to immerse myself in a setting that can inspire me to create something of my own. Above all of this, I love to sing and write music. More of a rocker than anything, I remember sitting in front of the radio asking my mother who this "Eric Clapton" guy was. By age 12 I'd fallen madly in love with all things rocky, heavy and jazzy. The cooing of a guitar or a good set of pipes can make me feel better than anything else. 'Cause if you can't say it in your writing, you can surely say it through your sound.

Yen growing again
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
The USD/JPY currency pair keeps fluctuating within a wide price range. The bulls were out of luck once again - the 121st figure has again blocked them from reaching new heights. Yesterday's trading started above the Tenkan and Kijun lines support on the four-hour timeframe. However, the bulls have failed to hold this height. A powerful break through the Kijun-sen line has predetermined further course of trading: the pair quickly went under the cloud and is now trading in the negative zone. That, in essence, does not mean anything as the golden cross is still active and the cloud is yet bullish. The lateral movement is obvious to continue. Therefore, we recommend you to refrain from trading with this instrument.
Technical levels: support – 118.90; resistance – 119.90, 120.20.
Trade recommendations: out of market.

Rachida Dati, the French justice minister appointed by President Nicolas Sarkozy to boost the visibility of ethnic minorities and women at the top of France's fractured society, announced yesterday that she was pregnant.
Dati, 42, the first Muslim woman of north African descent to hold a major French cabinet post, is one of the country's most high-profile ministers and is treated in the press as a glamorous celebrity.
She is the first woman in a rightwing French cabinet to be pregnant in office, turning the spotlight back on to Sarkozy's female appointments, after Spain's José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero this year stole his thunder by selecting a majority-female cabinet, including a pregnant defence minister.
Several French Socialist ministers have been pregnant in office, including Ségolène Royal when she was environment minister in the 1990s.
After speculation on the front covers of gossip magazines, Dati confirmed to Le Monde yesterday that she was expecting a child.
"I want to remain prudent, because it isn't yet safe. I'm still in the danger zone," she said, referring to the early stage of pregnancy. She said having a child was "fundamental" for her and would not affect her job. "It's not an illness."
When asked who the father was, she replied: "My private life is complicated and I'm keeping it off-limits to the press. I won't say anything about it." Dati is not married and had a brief marriage annulled when she was younger.
Statistics yesterday showed that just over half of all births in France, which has the EU's highest birthrate, are to unmarried mothers, with many couples opting for state civil partnerships instead.

By Joanna Bauer, Faculty, Communication Program
It used to be the main trajectory employees worked towards was the ladder hierarchy—straight up. Each step was strategic in earning a higher salary, position, perks and/or title. Moving to the side—the lateral move—was often looked at as a career stall or a dead end.
However, in the current employment environment, organizations are continually becoming more flat in structure and there may be increasingly less top positions available. This means that lateral career moves are now looked upon in a more positive light-if done correctly.
You may think, why would I want to move to another position that does not give me a title change, a salary increase, or other perks? Seems strange in the traditional sense of a career path, but it makes a lot of sense in terms of skill, relationship, and knowledge development.
One of the biggest improvements to skills when moving laterally is in communication. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the most important qualities for high job performance are: listening, speaking, creative thinking, decision making, reasoning, and honesty. All of these skills can be refined with communication training (U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2003).
For communication workers, building such skills are important for any job change or promotion, and a lateral move could mean an opportunity to build in all of these areas. In a review of 25 surveys of employers for what they are looking for in employees, strong communication skills, from interpersonal, listening, written, verbal, presentation and cultural communication, are listed in every single one and usually as the top skill (U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2003).
This means that employees could find the opportunity to improve these much needed communication skills by moving laterally. As author Joanne Cleaver puts it in "The Career Lattice," (2012), a book about making smart lateral moves: "Over is the new up" (McGregor, 2011, para 4). Today's employees may find themselves asked to specialize less and have more of a general knowledge base, which means understanding a variety of stages or elements of the organization. This understanding could be gained through deliberate lateral career moves.
There are benefits for both the employee and company when moving laterally.
Benefits for the company:
If there is no higher position available but the employee is valuable, the organization can keep an employee until a higher position is vacant.
Community and work environment can be improved with a move of a good leader.
Peer relationships are the majority of the communication that happens in an organization, so there can be an improved focus on the relationships and communication of peer relationships.
Adding a new voice, listener, and leader could build a more positive channel and environment, thereby improving horizontal communication when there is an interdepartmental issue or other negative channels of communication.
Employees are able to move to a more motivating job without the organization having to give fake title changes or salary improvements.
Benefits for the employee:
For an existing employee, a sideway move can energize and build skills, relationships, and knowledge base.
For someone looking for more responsibility, or someone who seeks to prove abilities in a new position, industry, or department, a lateral move can be a perfect place to start. The job may have the same title and salary, but offers more leadership responsibility or areas to be collaborative, creative, and innovative that the previous position did not offer.
Those who are busy with family or outside obligations can move to more interesting work, but not more responsibility.
Employees can learn from a good leader or learn a new area of the company.
If there is an existing personality issue with someone that cannot be resolved, moving someone can lead to a fresh perspective or atmosphere.
Another element of lateral moves is building diverse relationships. In the animal world, lateral communication results in collective intelligence and this ideal can be recognized in a business environment with peer-to-peer and interdepartmental communication and understanding. A worker who has the ability and relationships to communicate with a variety of coworkers is a valuable asset and can build collective intelligence.
This also means that employees who opt for a lateral move need to be ready for the new culture of the move and not expect the same processes, communication standards, or other elements. These shifts can be challenging at first, but the knowledge gained by working with diverse groups is worthwhile.
For communication workers and students, a laterally move could make clear sense. For instance, the personnel recruiter could become the trainer, admissions counselor, sales representative, or the public information officer. The advertising or marketing specialist could become the media planner, publicity manager, media sales representative, campaign manager, or activities director. The copywriter can become the public researcher, media analyst, research specialist, medical grants writer, corporate public affairs manager, or script writer. The focus should not be on the title of the position, but more on the skills and knowledge needed.
Building a career is a long and arduous process and in today's work environment it can take many twists and turns without the traditional worry of constantly "moving up." Focusing on the experience, skill, knowledge, and relationship development is one measure of a valuable employee in today's workforce. So, the next time there does not appear to be a good career option up on the ladder of hierarchy, look over instead.

Terry Fincher excelled at photographing both war and peace, working at times on battlefields and at times capturing images of statesmen and film stars in a career that encompassed the Suez crisis and Princess Diana. He dominated the Fleet Street papers of his day, winning a hatful of awards and establishing himself as the Street's top photographer. Although he will probably be best remembered as a war photographer, especially for his work in Vietnam, his versatility was such that he could cover anything.
Terence Fincher was born in Buckinghamshire in 1931, and was raised in Putney by his English father and Irish mother. The family did not have much money: Fincher would recall having to stuff cardboard into his battered shoes to keep out the rain. As a youth, while working as an electrician's mate, he would wander up to Fleet Street, intrigued by its air of busyness. A formative moment came when he saw a photographer rushing off from a newspaper office, and he became determined that one day he would do the same.
His mother bought him a second-hand camera which he carried everywhere, and this provided him with an early break. Taking the bus home one day, he spotted a policeman holding up traffic to allow a swan to waddle across Putney Bridge. He instantly took a snap, which was published in all the London newspapers. A job followed as a messenger boy with the Keystone Press Agency, and he was on his way.
After some years working in London, he was sent to cover the Suez crisis, an assignment which produced poignant photographs of a bereaved mother. His first major award, as British Photographer of the Year, followed. After several years on the Daily Herald he joined the Daily Express in 1961. The paper introduced a weekly page, "The Fincher File", that showcased both his work and that of other photographers.
Having made his name with the Suez invasion, Fincher was despatched to many conflicts in the years that followed, including those in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Cyprus, Aden, Biafra and Northern Ireland. But he did his best, and probably most dangerous, work in Vietnam, where he went on assignment on five occasions. There, he spent much time on the front line with American troops, often under heavy fire.
In his classic anecdote from his Vietnam years, Fincher recalled sharing a trench with the photographer Larry Burrows, of Life magazine. Fincher remembered: "That night it was pitch black and the rockets and shells were coming in thick and fast, landing even closer than the previous night. I tried to sleep through the noise, covering my face with my steel helmet, but it was impossible."
Fincher wondered whether to opt for helicopter evacuation to escape the war zone, by now strewn with the bodies of American soldiers. He remembered: "In the morning I asked Larry what we should do that day. He looked up at the dark, brooding sky. 'Exposure one second at f2.8,' he said with a grin." (Burrows later died when his helicopter was shot down over Laos.)
A particular scoop came in 1968 when Charlie Wilson, one of the Great Train Robbers, was arrested in Canada. As a teenager Fincher had hung around with Wilson and other criminals, known as the Elephant Gang because they socialised around the Elephant and Castle. Fincher got himself on the plane carrying Wilson home and was allowed to photograph him, leaving rivals green with envy.
Fincher was British press photographer of the year for 1957, 1959, 1964 and 1967, as well as winning other prizes. In 1970 he moved on from the Express; with his wife, June, and their daughters he set up Photographers International, an agency that supplied material to a wide range of papers. His thousands of subjects included Mother Teresa, Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin, but the agency specialised in the royal family: he and his daughter Jayne, also a noted photographer, eventually became very friendly with Princess Diana.
Those who knew him recalled his gentlemanly manner, one acquaintance saying: "I learned a lot from Terry. He was a kind and gentle man and always had time for us to have a chat about photography." The Express picture editor Neil McCarthy said: "His pictures were a tribute to his expertise and to his bravery."
The photographer Bob Aylott described him as "the finest Fleet Street photographer I ever encountered". He added: "His ruthless competitiveness, quick thinking and foresight kept him ahead." An exhibition of his work was staged at the Getty Images gallery in London earlier this year.
