Airline reservations must be arranged as early as possible and in a manner that results in the lowest cost to the Government. DoD booking tools display recommended flight options available to the traveler and suggest the lowest airfare considering multiple parameters (i.e. the mission, whether the trip is likely to be changed or canceled, the availability of City Pair fares, whether or not the airline is a U.S. flag carrier, and if the airline is on the DoD-approved airline list [see JTR, par. 020206]).
Use of commercial air service contracted through the GSA City Pair Program is mandatory unless one of the approved exceptions applies. Refer to JTR, par. 020206 M.2 [PDF], for personal limitations and restrictions when using Restricted Airfares for official travel.
Before heading to the airport, ensure your electronic tickets have been issued. When a ticket is issued, the traveler is emailed an itinerary and invoice from the TMC, containing ticket numbers, costs, and TMC contact information. The presence of the ticket number signifies the e-ticket has been issued. TMCs do not ticket a reservation until it has been approved by an Authorizing Official. If your booking was done in a DoD Booking Tool, the TMC is notified of approval automatically. If you called your TMC to create the initial reservation, you must call again to notify the TMC of approval.
If a travel authorization is not approved at least 72 hours in advance of your flight departure, or the TMC is not notified of the approval, the carrier will automatically cancel the reservation 48 hours prior to the flight departure.
If your flight departs within 48 hours of the time it is booked, ensure your travel authorization is approved and ticket(s) are issued at least 6 hours prior to flight departure to avoid auto-cancellation by the carrier.
Like many genre fans, Fangoria is how I learned about the existence of several horror movies beyond the handful I had managed to see on TV or rented from the local video store. If the films were unavailable through those means, reading their Fango articles and staring at the accompanying photos was the next best thing, and helped make a checklist of movies to track down once I got older (or a better video store). To this day, there are a handful of films I almost feel like I've seen because I read and re-read their accompanying articles in my impressionable youth, but have never managed to actually sit down and watch.
But what if the Fangoria issue itself was nearly impossible to obtain? Such is the case with issue #9, which featured Motel Hell on its cover. As any die-hard fan of the mag knows, the earlier issues had more sci-fi driven covers - R2D2 and C3P0 were the stars of issue #6, for example - and they weren't exactly flying off the shelves. But when they switched to more horrific fare like The Shining, sales took off, and naturally got more attention from mothers and teachers (well-meaning ones, of course!) who weren't thrilled about the R-rated fare being featured instead of lovable Star Wars droids that had drawn their children's eyes the month before. The shit really hit the fan with #9, pictured below, which got them so angry that this particular release was essentially banned from many stores and given an adult magazine-like cover to hide the pig-masked villain wielding a chainsaw from all those innocent tykes.
The irony is, those who have seen it know that the cover was committing a far graver sin than warping a few kids' minds - it was spoiling part of the ending! For years I thought the movie was basically a Texas Chainsaw kind of thing with a pig-masked guy in place of Leatherface, but while Tobe Hooper's influence is apparent on the script, this particular killer doesn't actually appear until the final few minutes of the movie. In fact, it plays up the dark comedy even more than TCM (or Psycho, another movie that might have inspired this one), and doesn't have a lot of on-screen violence, which makes sense when you consider the film's "Secret Garden" plot.
What "secret garden" you might ask? Well if you live in LA, come find out! I'll be hosting a 40th-anniversary screening of the film on Tuesday, January 28th as part of Screamfest's "Fears and Beers" revival screening series, and have a pair of tickets to give away! I'm making this one easy - just email [email protected] and tell me your favorite "people on vacation run afoul of creepy backwoods type" movie, and include your full name so that the winner's name (+1) can be added to the list! Obviously you need to be in Los Angeles (or vicinity) to win, so if you just want to talk about such fare feel free to post comments below instead of cluttering the email inbox with ineligible entries.
The screening will be at 7:30pm at the TCL Chinese 6 in Hollywood, and there will be a post-film Q&A with director Kevin Connor and stars Paul Linke and Nina Axelrod, as well as photo ops and trivia. And if you don't want to pin your hopes of attending on winning a contest, feel free to head here and buy a ticket - they're only 16 bucks and - if you're 21 or older - you get a complimentary beer with it! See you there! I may or may not have a pig mask on.
Brian, aka BC, has been watching horror movies since the age of 6, and twenty years later decided to put it to good use, both as a writer for Bloody-Disgusting as well as launching his own site, Horror Movie A Day, which Roger Ebert once read and misunderstood the points that were being made.

The narrator physically going to China in "A Pair of Tickets" represents herinternal change as she begins to accept her Chinese heritage and that side ofherself in contrast to her American upbringing in California.
When Jing-mei goes to Guangzhou, she's planning to visit her father'sfamily. Next, she'll fly to Shanghai and meet the twin half-sisters she's nevermet before. Throughout her part of The Joy Luck Club, Jing-mei fightswith her mother Suyuan as they try to bridge the cultural and experiential gapbetween them.
The minute our train leaves the Hong Kong border and enters Shenzhen, China,I feel different. I can feel the skin on my forehead tingling, my blood rushingthrough a new course, my bones aching with a familiar old pain. And I think, Mymother was right. I am becoming Chinese.
Though her mother is dead, her visit to China and to meet her half-sistersis what finally bridges the gap between Jing-mei and her mother. She's able toput her mother's life, losses, and choices into perspective in a way she wasn'tbefore. She also is able to help her now-deceased mother fulfill her dream ofseeing her twin daughters again by traveling to Shanghai to meet them. Jing-meisays:
I look at their faces again and I see no trace of my mother in them, Yetthey still look familiar. And now I also see what part of me is Chinese: It isso obvious. It is my family. It is in our blood. After all these years, it canfinally be let go.

Jing-Mei is Chinese American, but having never experienced China firsthand,she has been effectively cut off from her cultural heritage. That all changeswhen she travels to China for the first time. Although she can understandMandarin, she can't speak it all that well, which further separates Jing-Meifrom the land of her ancestors.
Tan's skillful shift of narrative voice allows the reader, as well asJing-Mei herself, to develop an appropriately broad perspective of her family'shistory. By the time she finally meets up with her long-lost sisters, Jing-Meiis a woman transformed; she is completely at home with her culturalheritage:
