(Mark Leffingwell/AFP/Getty Images)Fights broke out during the second day of the viewing of deceased Puerto Rican boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho, reports ESPN.Cynthia Castillo, who claimed to be Camacho's girlfriend at the time of his death, kissed the fighter at the viewing and then got into a confrontation with Gloria Fernandez, who said she had been Camacho's girlfriend for the past 25 years. Camacho's sisters Esther and Estrella also entered the fray."I went to get something to eat because Machito [Hector Camacho Jr.] told me to, and his ex-girlfriend [Fernandez] came up to me and told me that I had to leave," Castillo told ESPN Deportes, showing a fresh scratch across her clavicle. "I said no, so they threw my plate of food and attacked me, and I defended myself."Jorge Lozada, who said he was a member of the Camacho family, allegedly tried to separate Camacho's mother, Maria Matias, and the wife of former bantamweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez. Pushing and shoving also occurred between Lozada and Vazquez.Camacho won super lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight world titles in the 1980s. He was shot on Nov. 20 in his hometown of Bayamon and died three days later after doctors took him off life support. He was 50 at the time. The viewing took place at the Puerto Rico Department of Sports and Recreation, and hundreds of people visited Camacho's open casket for two days. His body was flown to New York on Thursday and will be buried at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx on Saturday. Promoted Stories Comments

Three elements you should consider investing in to ensure your e-mail marketing campaigns drive the strongest first impression.
What would you rather do today? Drag four large tires up a hill in San Francisco or sit by the beach in Aruba?
Regardless of your choice (although I'd love to know who picked the tires over the beach), the way you decided was to create an impression in your mind of what each experience would be like. That first impression drove you to act.
In e-mail marketing, first impressions have the same power to drive a recipient to act.
In 2009 we will all be faced with marketing and advertising budgetary challenges. In e-mail marketing, one could invest money to make improvements in over 80 different areas, such as delivery technology, creative design, and segmentation strategy. Deciding how to invest so you get the most value from your spend will be the most critical decision you make. So how do you do it?
The most effective e-mail campaigns in 2009 will be decided by one thing: the first impression they make. It may sound crazy, but it's true. With reliance on e-mail marketing growing on an almost hourly basis, the volume of e-mails we consumers receive will continue to rise. And in an overloaded inbox, your e-mail must make a powerful first impression.
For 2009, there are three elements you should consider investing in to ensure your e-mail marketing campaigns drive the strongest first impression:
In 2009, e-mail's effectiveness will depend greatly on your ability to break through the clutter and create a strong bond with your reader. If you could only spend your budget in three areas to do this, spend them on deliverability, subject lines, and the welcome process.
P.S. For those of you who want to go beyond the first impression for 2009 and are looking for 90 days' worth of e-mail marketing insight, check out my new book, "Email Marketing: An Hour A Day."

REVERSED STACKING TRAYS Filed Dec. 9. 1965 INVENTOR 64 ATTORNEYS United States Patent O 3,262,786 REVERSED STACKING TRAYS Hugh R. Weiss, Montclair, NJ., assignoi to The Pantasote Company, Passaic, NJ., a corporation of New Jersey Filed Dec. 9, 1963, Ser. No. 329,202 2 Claims. (Cl. 99-171) This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Serial No. 154,140, iiled November 22, 1961, now Patent No. 3,143,237 and a continuationin-part of my copending application Serial No. 140,375 led September 25, 1961, and now Patent No. 3,171,562.
The present invention relates to multiple-compartment trays formed from thin sheets of synthetic resin material and more particularly to improved, one-piece, vacuummolded, plastic fruit trays which provide maximum protection against damage to the fruit when the fruit is packed in a conventional fruit box or lug.
The trays of this invention are especially constructed for assembly into a conventional, rectangular, fruit lug or box made of wood or other suitable material. Each tray is provided with a continuous, low-height, upstanding, marginal wall or flange which ts snugly against the rough inner walls of the fruit lug and prevents the fruit in the marginal cups of the tray from contacting the rough surfaces of said inner walls. Such marginal wall or ange not only prevents undesirable shifting of the tray during handling the shipping but also stiiens and reinforces the tray and facilitates assembly of the tray in the fruit lug. Such lflange also facilitates stacking of fruit in the trays for display purposes in a store.
According to this invention, two similar sets of trays are provided for each fruit lug. The trays are stacked so that the fruit in one tray does not contact the fruit in the next adjacent tray. This is preferably accomplished by providing left and right hand trays of the same size, one being the reverse of the other. Such reversed trays are constructed so that the Vfruit 4in every other tray is in vertical alignment, but the fruit in each tray is out of Vertical alignment with and out of contact with the fruit in the next adjacent tray.
An object of the present invention is to provide a plastic tray which minimizes bruising and decay of perishable fruits and vegetables.
A further object of the invention is to provide a plastic tray which may readily be assembled in a conventional fruit lug or box.
Another object of the invention is to provide a tray which may be filled in a minimum period of time.
A further object of the invention is to eliminate the need for dat dividers between layers of fruit. Other objects, uses and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and claims and from the drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary top view showing a fruit lug containing a series of trays made according to this invention, a portion of one tray being broken away to show the underlying tray with fruit therein;
FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken substantially on the line 2-2 of FIGURE 1 and showing the lug loaded with fruit;
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal vertical sectional view through a pair of posts showing a modified form af tray 200 having a marginal flange with a scalloped edge; and
FIGURE 4 is a fragmentary top view similar to FIG- URE 1 showing another modied form of the invention.
In the drawings like parts are identified by the same Fice numerals throughout the several views as in the parent application, now U.S. Patent No. 3,143,237.
The trayA shown in the drawings, which is shown and described in detail in said U.S. Patent No. 3,143,237, is a -count fruit tray which may be former from a single sheet of polyvinyl chloride or other synthetic resin material like the tray described in said patent. The tray A' has 35 closely spaced cup-shaped portions (pockets) of generally -circular (polygonal) horizontal cross section arranged in seven parallel lateral rows and in parallel diagonal rows inclined at yan angle of 60 degrees relative to said lateral rows. The centers of the cups in each lateral row are regularly spaced apart the same distance as the centers of the cups in each diagonal row. Each cup has a tapered peripheral wall 13a, a iat bottom wall 14a, vertical pleats 15a, and six upwardly projecting hollow posts 16a and 17a (the parts of the tray A corresponding to parts of the tray A of said Patent No. 3,143,237 are identied by the same numeral with the suiiix added). The posts 16a and 17a have upper surfaces located substantially in a common horizontal plane parallel to the bottom walls of the cups and to the plane containing the upper edge of the marginal ange 23a.
One of the cups at the end of each lateral row is spaced lfrom the margin of the tray and is integrally joined to the marginal ange by a ledge 21a or 22a having at least one wide, rounded notch therein forming continuations of radially outwardly projecting portions of the peripheral cup walls 13a. Such projecting portions form the vertical channels 40a which extend from the ledge to the bottom of the cup to facilitate radial expansion of the cup. Each ledge 21a has two channels 40a and -a wider channel 41a which is located between the posts or projections 18a. The corner ledge 22a has one channel 40a adjacent the post 19a and a wider channel 42a between such posts and the end of the tray.
At the ends of the tray A' small ledges 20a are provided between adjacent cups. Such ledges would have the same height -as the ledges 21a and 22a.
The marginal flange 23a has at side and end portions of uniform width and beveled corner portions 24a to facilitate circulation of air at the corners of the rectangular fruit lug or box 59 in which the trays are placed. Thus, a narrow vertical air passage 65 of triangular cross section is formed at the corners of each tray between the flange 23a and the inner vertical walls 62 and 63 of the lug 59.
The posts 16a and 17a are tapered like the posts 16 and 17 and decrease in size in an upward direction. The posts have walls 49 (similar to walls 49b of FIGURE 3) which are provided with corrugations 15a extending from the bottom wall 14a more than half the height of the post to permit expansion of the lower portion of the cup. A partition 50 having diverging walls 51 is provided between each pair of adjacent posts to separate the fruit in adjacent cups of the tray. Each partition is preferably provided with a flat double-wall tin 52 similar to the 1in 521: and having a crescent or moon-shape as best shown in FIGURE 3. Such fin separates the fruit in adjacent cups and reinforces the tray without reducing the amount of fruit which can be loaded into the tray.
The depth of each of the cups of the trays A' is the vertical distance from the bottom Wall 14a to the top of the adjacent posts 16a or 17a, and is equal to the height of said posts.
Each post 16a or 17a projects vertically a substantial distance above the top central point of each partition 50. Such distance is less than half the height of the post and is usually 0.3 to 0.4 times the height of the post.
The trays of this invention may be stacked by placing the cups of one tray inside the cups of an adjacent tray to form a very small stack containing a large number of trays nested together. It is, therefore, easy to store the .trays in a small space before they are used to package the fruit.
Prior to this invention it was necessary, in order to provide the fruit with adequate protection, to place a at cardboard or chipboard sheet or other protective pad over the fruit in one tray of the fruit lug before insert- `ing the next tray. The present invention eliminates the need for such protective pads because of the novel cooperation between adjacent fruit trays as shown, for example, in FIGURES l and 2.
The tray A' :and its inversion 200 are of a size to iit a standard rectangular wooden fruit lug 59 having a flat horizontal rectangular bottom wal-l 61, ilat vertical rectangular side walls 62, at vertic-al rectangular end walls 63 perpendicular to the walls 61 and 62, and spacer slats 64 `carried by the wall 61. When the tray A is placed in the fruit lug, its upright marginal flange 23a rests against the rough inner vertical surfaces of the side and end walls 62 and 63 throughout the perimeter of the tray. If desired, such ange may be substantially paralflel to or flush with said inner vertical surfaces. When the trays are lled with the fruit 60 and packed in the Vfruit lug 59, the marginal portions 67 of the bottom cup walls 14a engage the underlying pieces of fruit 60 to support the weight of the fruit and to hold the fruit in one tray out of contact with the fruit in the next adjacent tray as best shown in FIGURE 2.
The 35-count tray 200 of FIGURES l and 2 is preferably an exact inversion or antipodal copy of the tray 100 and coacts with the tray 100 to protect the fruit in one tray from damage due to pressure against fruit in the next adjacent tray. Thus, the ledge 2lb and the ledge 2217 of the tray 200 are located, respectively, near the bottom left corner and at the bottom right corner, when viewed from the top (as in FIGURE 9); and the centers of the cups or pockets of the tray 200 are located directly above the longitudinal partitions 50 joining adjacent pairs of posts 16a and 17a as is apparent from FIGURES l and 2. If desired the posts 16a, 17a, 18a and 19a of the tray 100 may be provided with suicient height to engage the bottom walls 14b of the overlying tray 200 when such tray is lled with fruit, in which case the 4posts 16b, 17b, 18h, vand 19b will engage and support the bottom walls 14a of an overlying tray 100 generally as shown in FIGURE 2.
As shown in the drawings, the one-piece molded plastic fruit trays 200 have cups with a tapered peripheral wall 13b and a bottom wall 14b, vertical pleats 15b, hollow tapered posts 16h and 17b, ledges 2Gb, 2lb and 22h, an endless upright marginal ilange 23b, and partitions 50h with diverging walls 51b and double-wall ns 12b. The parts of the tray 200 which are exact inversions of corresponding parts of the tray 100 are identified by the same numerals except that the sux letter is b rather than 11. i
The cups and posts of the trays 100 and 200 are located to provide the fruit with maximum protection. The centers of the cups of each lateral row of cups in the tray 100, for example, are located directly over the longitudinal partitions 50' of the corresponding row of cups in the tray 200 as shown in FIGURE l, and are located yalong a straight line midway between the posts at opposite ends of said partitions. When the trays 100 and 200 are lilled with fruit and stacked as in FIGURE 2, the bottom marginal portions 67 and 67b of the trays are deformed under the weight, but such portions separate each piece of fruit from the fruit in the next adjacent tray and provide the fruit with adequate protection.
It will be noted that the marginal flanges 23a and 23b project above the bottom walls of the overlying trays. This prevents the fruit in the marginal cups from coni tacting the rough inner wooden surf-ace of the fruit lug 59 -as pointed out previously. The marginal anges also strengthen the tray and facilitates stacking on the tray prior to use,
The marginal flanges a-lso facilitate display of the fruit for sale in a store. Thus, the trays and 200 may be removed from the fruit lug 59 at the store and stacked with the fruit therein generally as in FIGURE 2 (but without support from the lug 59. The ilanges 23a and 23b facilitate such stacking and assist in maintaining the rectangular shape of the trays when they are so stacked.
FIGURE 3 shows a modified form of the invention wherein the fruit tray has marginal flange 123 with a scalloped upper edge 170. The tray 200 of this figure is exactly the same as the tray 200 except that the marginal ilange is scalloped, the flange 123 being the same as the ange 2311 except for the scallops at 170. It will be understood that such scallops may also be employed on the marginal flange 23a of the tray A'.
-It is preferable to provide the tray-s of this invention with a scalloped upper edge similar Vto the edge so that the marginal flange ts better against the inner surface of the fruit lug 59. The scalloped edge also makes it easier to slide the tray into the fruit lug 59. Such edge will hug the inner surface of the box even when the marginal ange is normally inclined substantial-ly relative to the vertical. For best results, the scallops at 170 should extend vertically above one-third to about one-half the vertical width of the marginal flange.
The scalloped edge 170 is particularly advantageous when employing an inextensible marginal ange to strengthen the marginal portion of the tray.
FIGURE 4 shows another modified form of the invention wherein the fruit tray 100' has a marginal ange 23C which is corrugated. The tray 100 of this figure is exactly the same as the tray 100 except that the marginal ange is corrugated or provided with a sinuous shape throughout the length of each of the side and end portions of the ange. Thus, the corrugations extend the full distance between the corner portions 24a at each side and -at each end of the tray. It will be understood, of course, that such corrugations may also be employed on the marginal flanges 23, 23a and 123 of the trays previously described.
FIGURE 4 shows the corner of the tray 100 including the pleats 15a of the corner cup, the corner ledge 22a, the beveled corner portions 24a of the marginal ilange 23C and the channels 40a and 42a at the margin of said ledge. Like the flanges 23a and 23b, the marginal ange 23C is narrow and has a uniform width throughout the perimeter of the tray, the corrugations extending the fu-ll width of the flange and preferably terminating at the level of the ledges 21a and 22a. The upper edge of the flange 23e is preferably located in a plane parallel to the bottom walls 14a of the cups, the height of said upper edge being preferably the same as that of the ilanges 23a and23b. While such upper edge is at in the modiiication shown herein, it will be understood that the upper edge may be scalloped like the ange 123 throughout the length of the flange.
The corrugations enable the marginal flange to fit better against the inner surface of the fruit lug 59 and also makes it easier to slide the tray into the fruit lug. The corrugations also tend to cushion the fruit to prevent injury due to impact against the walls of the fruit lug.
While the drawings are substantially to scale, it will be understood that the thicknesses of the parts are not shown withprecision. Because the trays are formed from at plastic sheets of uniform thickness, the individual cups or pockets of the tray have walls which gradually decrease in thickness from the top to the bottom of the cup.
It will be lunderstood that the above description is by way of illustration, rather than limitation, and that, in accordance with the provisions of the patent laws, variations and modifications of the specific devices shown or described herein may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A fruit packing assembly for packing boxes comprising la series of multiple-compartment molded fruit packing trays lled with fruit and arranged in a stack with the fruit in each lower tray engaging and supporting the bottom portion of the overlying tray, each tray being formed in one piece from a thin sheet of thermoplastic material and having a generally rectangular perimeter, a continuous vertically disposed marginal reinforcing ange extending throughout the periphery of said tray and strengthening said tray, said ange having an upper cut edge, the bottom portion of said tray being provided with rows of downwardly extending cup-shaped pockets having thin lower side and bottom walls which conform with the fruit therein, each pocket containing an individual piece of fruit and tting snugly the lower portion of said fruit, the pockets along the edges of the tray having portions of their outer walls contiguous to said marginal flange, the marginal anges projecting upwardly above the bottom level of the cup-shaped pockets of overlying trays to limit horizontal movement of the overlying trays in `al1 directions and to hold the trays in vertical alignment, said pockets being arranged in parallel longitudinal, lateral and diagonal rows and facing upwardly for engagement with the fruit therein, each tray having generally the same size and shape as the next adjacent tray of the stack but being an inversion of said adjacent tray, the center of each pocket in one tray being out of alignment with the centers of the pockets in the next adjacent tray and being spaced from a vertical line through the center of the nearest pocket of the adjacent tray a horizontal distance equal to about 0.4 to 0.5 times the maximum diameter of the latter pocket, the lower peripheral portions of the pockets of each tray providing cushioning means for engaging the underlying fruit and holding the fruit in that pocket away from the underlying fruit to prevent damage to the fruit.
2. A fruit packing assembly as dened in claim 1 wherein substantially the entire upper edge of said marginal ange is scalloped to make the ange t better against the inner surface of the packing ybox and to facilitate sliding said tray into said box, the scallops being at and extending vertically about 1/s to about `1/2 the vertical width of said marginal flange.

Sea Glass Christmas Ornaments
Glass chips in watery colors bring a seaside touch to your holiday decorations.
This project is part of HGTV's eight easy Christmas crafts to create.
Materials and Tools:
clear shatterproof Christmas balls
sea glass (found on beach or available at craft stores)
clear silicone adhesive
glitter spray
tile nips
1. Attach sea glass to ornaments with clear silicone adhesive. It's best to attach the glass in sections, allowing time for the glue to set up in one area before moving on to the next. Tip: If ornaments will be hung, secure the caps with a drop of heavy-duty glue before adding sea glass.
2. Continue adding sea glass to ornament, using tile nips to create small pieces, when necessary, to fit tight spaces.
3. Add the finishing touch by lightly dusting finished ornaments with glitter spray.

text: sports Top athletes to compete in MI Senior Olympics By Kevin Lavery • Feb 4, 2015 Listen Listening... / 11:24 Last week on this show, Current State's Scott Pohl reported on the growing popularity of pickleball, a racket sport that looks like a cross between tennis and badminton. Well, if you liked that, you'll probably love what's coming up this weekend. The annual Michigan Senior Olympics winter games kick off Saturday in Oakland County, and pickleball is on the program. East Lansing tops college football towns By Peter Whorf • Feb 2, 2015 Photo: Melissa Benmark / WKAR Listen Listening... / 7:27 This post-Super Bowl Monday gives the New England Patriots NFL bragging rights for the coming year. But who's number one in the combined professional and college football world? According to the personal finance-social media network WalletHub, it's East Lansing. Recapping Spartan hoops and the Super Bowl with Al Martin By Scott Pohl & Melissa Benmark • Feb 2, 2015 Flickr - hilaryhiggins Listen Listening... / 13:03 Never mind the Super Bowl, the Spartans beat Michigan in men's basketball yesterday. It took overtime for MSU to defeat the Wolverines 76-66. Popularity of pickleball moves north By Scott Pohl • Jan 28, 2015 Scott Pohl/WKAR Listen Listening... / 10:44 There's a new sport catching on in the Lansing area. Its appeal lies in its reliance on physical activity that isn't too strenuous. Already popular with retirees in the south, pickleball is moving north with indoor play in colder climes.

Great headboard and reasonably priced! Valerie from Chapel Hill, NC on 01/21/2015 – Verified Buyer
I purchased two of these headboards for my sons; ages 13 and 8. They arrived quickly and were in great condition. The style is simple yet it allows enough flexibility to incorporate different furniture pieces into the room. My sons love their headboards and we haven't had any problems at all. Compared to other choices the Belmont headboard is a cost-effective and functional alternative. I highly recommend this headboard!!

Great product for the price. Sally from Los Angeles, CA on 04/14/2015 – Verified Buyer
Quality is good but arrived with a dent in the front top piece of wood. Decided to keep it since the dent was small. It is not as high as it appears in the picture but is sufficient for a guest or child's room. Happy with purchase. Pros: Easy assembly. All parts were included. Matches other furniture in room. Would purchase again. Cons: Except for the small dent as indicated above, very happy with purhase.

Poorly sized Jennifer from California on 08/28/2013 – Verified Buyer
It seems the standard nowadays is to make a headboard that fits either a full or queen (fullqueen). This is a poor design and manufacturing decision in my opinion because if you're trying to attach it to a full size bed then you have a lot of hangover on the edges of the headboard. It looks like its a poor fit and you're just trying to make due. I wish they would manufacture a TRUE full size headboard. Quality wise and finish wise it's great!

Love these headboards! Marilyn from Somerset, NJ on 02/13/2015 – Verified Buyer
These headboards fit the decor in our room very well. Currently have mission style mirror and chest. The color (maple) is a shade lighter but not a noticeable difference. They arrived in a timely manner and were very easy to assemble. All the hardware was included and the packaging was excellent.

good for the price, perfect for kids nancy from Cos Cob, CT on 11/17/2013 – Verified Buyer
I was looking for a simple headboard for my 4 yr old sons bedroom. this is perfect. It is just the right size...not one of those overly large headboards that looks ridiculous in a little kids room. As I said in the title, it is good for the price. it is not poor quality, by any means, but it is a $100 headboard. super easy to put together.

Hello we have been reading the reviews about this hotel and hoping we made the right decision as we gave a couple this hotel package as a gift. Is the place as bad as some of the reviews say. Some are saying the food is bad and rooms not good. Can someone please give us some good news.
How is the nightlife here? My friend and I are considering going here but I worry we might get bored. I love rest and relaxation but how is it for younger people?

Kahiki Supper Club: A Polynesian Paradise in Columbus
Take a set back into retro Columbus with the book Kahiki Supper Club by David Meyers.
The Kahiki, a South Seas themed restaurant, was located in Columbus on East Broad Street. The restaurant was easy to identify since it was shaped like a Polynesian fighting boat, with giant flaming Mo'ai heads outside the main doors. Entering you walked into a faux South Pacific village with tropical rainforest, totally exotic. The best was ordering up the "Mystery Drink" which came in a bowl with a smoking volcano and served by the "Mystery Girl" who danced the drink to your table after being summoned by a giant gong, fun!
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Nothing says summer more than a private island, lazy days, and traumatic amnesia. 17 year-old Cadence Sinclair Easton returns to the Sinclair family island after a two-year hiatus, two years in which she was afflicted by debilitating migraines and fragmented memories of an event that happened in the summer of her fifteenth year. The Liars - Cady, her two older cousins, and family friend, Gat – spend the summer piecing together the parts of "Summer 15" that Cady has been missing. What she (and the reader) finds when all the pieces come together is a shocking answer to the mystery and an ending that is as unforgettable for us as it was repellent for her. With luscious storytelling and a poetic sense of memory, Were We Liars will leave you clamoring for the answer from start to finish.
Who is the liar here after all?
The Long Shadow: The Legacies of the Great War in the Twentieth Century by David Reynolds
Long Shadow is broad but rich in historical perspective, specifically in reference to the First World War shaping the 20th century. Informative, insightful, and certainly well worth looking through since August 2014 will mark the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.

Holiday Parks
Finding it difficult to pick a holiday destination that the whole family likes? While the grown-ups want to enjoy peace and solitude or walks in the countryside, the kids want fun, excitement, a swimming pool and lots of space to run around. Holiday parks offer a fantastic solution to the eternal struggle of keeping everyone happy, and cater for family groups that include both over-active tots and more laid-back older visitors.
South Devon has plenty of popular holiday parks set in some of the region's most attractive locations. They offer spacious grounds and entertainment facilities for campers and caravan enthusiasts of all ages. While there's a great social atmosphere for families, there's also plenty of space if you want to retreat to some peace and quiet. If you prefer the idea of four walls to canvas or caravans, many holiday parks offer self-catering holiday homes with a great range of facilities within easy reach.

Saudi Arabia is grappling with a budget deficit which economists estimate could total $120 billion or more this year.

Here are three reasons that the TPP agreement will be beneficial in the long run, says Kabir Sehgal.

Oxford University has published a set of intriguing questions which could be discussed if candidates secure one of their coveted interviews.
Some of the names on the move ahead of the open.
Richard Fisher said Tuesday the Fed should heed the call of central bankers around the world and get on with hiking interest rates.
PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are in talks to invest in Chobani, in a deal that the Greek yogurt maker hopes could value it at as much $3 billion.
The Fed should hold off on any interest rate hike until it is clear that global economic risks won't hurt the U.S., Governor Lael Brainard said.
China Huarong Asset Management has set an indicative price range at HK$3.03 to HK$3.39 for its Hong Kong IPO, sources said.
Barclays plans to appoint former JPMorgan banker Jes Staley as its new CEO, the FT reports.
The service lets bankers chat with each other and their clients via a secure connection; it's the brainchild of Goldman Sachs.

The semiconductors sector may be nearly 8 percent lower this year, but a bright spot for investors in this space could be Intel.

Apple's stock typically performs better during the "S cycle" of its latest iPhone, says Alex Gauna of JMP Securities.
Hillary Clinton's bank bashing is soooo 1900s, says analyst Mike Mayo. Here's why she and other candidates need to knock it off.
The result would benefit Main Street more than Wall Street, which has had a banner seven-year run helped by historically easy Fed monetary policy.

Salem board votes to hire assistant town manager
SALEM -- The town of Salem is officially hiring.
During Monday night's meeting of the Board of Selectmen, members voted, 4-1, in favor of seeking an assistant town manager.
Selectman Stephen Campbell was opposed to the move as he felt the salary range of $80,000 to $93,000 was too high.
The assistant town manager will fill the position left open following the sudden resignation of longtime Community Development Director William Scott.
After a dozen years working in Salem, Scott submitted his resignation in late April, stating he'd accepted a similar position that was much closer to his Newburyport, Mass., home.
Scott, who earned a salary of $92,705 last year, will leave Salem in late June.
Town Manager Keith Hickey said the assistant town manager will oversee the community development department, among other things.

To print a custom list of cheats. Use the check boxes and choose the cheats you would like to display for printing. Or use one of the quick printing options below.
By default all the cheats are selected, so you can print all cheats by clicking "print cheats" right now.
Cheat Codes
Press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + C during game play to display a prompt in the upper left corner of the screen. Enter the following codes to activate each cheat. Note: Enter [Exclamation point] at the prompt to repeat the last cheat entered. Enter a [Semi-colon] between codes to enter multiple codes at the same time. Additionally, most of the codes will only work with the unpatched version of the game.
Quick money
Enable cheat mode and enter the klapaucius or rosebud code. Display the cheat prompt again and type !;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!:!;! (up to sixty total commands may be entered).
Enable cheat mode and enter klapaucius;: or rosebud;: as a code. Then hold [Enter] so that "No such cheat" begins to flash. Keep the key held to gain up to 99 million simolians.
Once you reach 9,999,999 simoleons, it will stay that way for the rest of your game.
Easier repeat cheats
To make it easier to repeat a code, such as the money code, first enter the code, then make a mistake after what you have repeated. For example enter the money cheat, then enter !;!;!;!;!;!: (note the colon at the end instead of a semi-colon). The game will respond "Sorry, invalid cheat" but you will have the amount that you requested. When you click "OK", the cheat will still be at the prompt. press [Enter] again and click "OK" for another repeat of the cheat you entered. Note: The game will exit if too much money is accumulated.
Quick navigation
hold [Alt] and press the cursor keys to navigate quickly.
Hidden cartoon
When you insert the game CD-ROM and it asks whether you want to start or visit various web sites, move the pointer over the gray Maxis symbol in the bottom Left corner. It will change into colored text. Click on it to see the hidden cartoon.
Real music
Note: This trick requires a music recording/Downloading program. Record/Download the music of your choice. After that save the music files to The Sims game in the path "/Maxis/The Sims/Music/Stations/" followed by "Rock", "Classical", "Latin", or "Country". This can also be saved so that the TV plays the music by selecting the "SoundData/TVStations" path instead of "Music", then choosing "Mystery", "Romance", "Comedy", or "Action".
Easier relationships
Create a family with a male and female adult that are of the same category (such as Virgo and Virgo) and move them into a house (or created house). Immediately after selecting live mode make them kiss approximately ten times in a row to set their relationship meter to be 100. If you continue kissing the female should ask to have a baby.
You can make a room especially for the parents with no doors. Use the move_objects on code and put the parents in a room with no doors. If you want them to have a baby, have them kiss a few times (not necessarily ten) and she will ask about the baby
If you are trying to get a Sim to like another Sim, and you want to propose, sometimes the game will respond "I Can't think on an empty stomach". Before the Sim arrives, make a meal. If it gets late, delete the doors, then they cannot leave.
Selling the dead
This is a useful trick if you had a Sim die. When Sims die, they leave an urn or a gravestone behind them which your Sim will mourn for 24 hours. After this time you can pick it up in furnish mode and sell it. You only get about 3 to 10 Simoleans for it, but it is better than turning your garden into a cemetery.
Get outdoor items indoors
Use the following trick to place a grill, playground, basketball court, or other outdoor items inside your house. When building your house, leave part of the wall open. The CPU will consider that room as part of the outside. Place your outdoor item in the room, then close the wall. Note: This only works in one room at a time.
Magic garbage bag
The following trick saves the time needed to take the garbage to the street. Buy the 30 simolian garbage can. Order your Sim to empty it, then cancel the order just as they remove the bag from the can. Then, order them to pick up the mess that they just created. Your Sim will return the full bag to an empty can. Repeat this each time it fills and trash will never have be brought outside again.
Double phone message
Place more than two phones in your house and wait for the phone to ring. Direct two of your Sims to answer different phones. By doing this, two messages will appear for each of your Sims. Sometimes the game will even offer some generous amount of money.
Keep baby easier
To keep a baby without social services taking it away, just have one of the parents (the person in the lower rank of their job is recommended) to miss work two days in a row to get fired. They can now pay 24 hour attention to the baby.
Another chance with the baby
If you want to keep the baby after it is to be taken away. wait for the social worker to show up. Before she goes inside, enter house edit mode and delete all the doors that lead into your house. A screen saying you have a new baby will appear and prompt you to name it.
If your baby gets neglected and the social worker appears, quickly pause game play. Enable the move_objects on code and enter build mode. Select the hand, pick up the social worker, and delete her. A new baby will appear in the middle of the room, and you can re-name it.
When someone dies in a family, and there are still family members remaining, they will be haunted by the ghost of the Sim that died.
Controlling ghosts
To control a ghost, enter the tutorial house and continue until Betty enters. Put in a series of fireplaces (burn to death) or light bulbs (electrocution) and move Bob out of the house. Block all the exits and kill Betty. The game will announce that you failed the tutorial and Betty's head will still be on the control panel. Click it and her ghost will appear. If one action is done, or you wait too long, she will disappear (you can get her back). Try changing her clothes and taking baths. Note: This may not work in the patched version of the game.
Naked Sim
Enable the move_objects on code when your Sim is inside the shower, when there is no pixelated censor. Then, move your Sim/shower to somewhere in the house and you can see your Sim naked.
As soon as a Sim enters the shower or bath, go to build mode and use the hand tool, to remove the shower or bathtub from the bathroom. The Sim will continue to shower or bathe, but they will be bare without the pixelated censoring.
Naked Sim in hot tub
If you have a Sim with an Outgoing rating of 7 or more, he or she will go in the hot tub naked. The first person to go in will cause an impact on all the rest. If the first person goes in naked, the rest also will, even if their outgoing is a 1. The reverse is also true -- if someone goes in with a bathing suit, a Sim with a Outgoing rating of 10 will also wear one.
Floating Sim
Enable the move_objects on code. While your Sim is asleep, enter buy mode and move the bed. Your sim will be sleeping on nothing and their comfort will continue to increase. This works also with naps.
Never take out the garbage
Buy the small blue 30 simolian garbage can. Whenever it is full, sell it for 30 simolians. Then, just buy a new one, and you will never have to take out the garbage again.
Full mood bars
Enable the move_objects on code when your Sim is sleeping. Enter buy mode and remove the bed on which the Sim is sleeping. The Sim will disappear. When you return to live mode the Sim will reappear somewhere else in the house and all mood bars will be at 100%.
If your Sim is very depressed, enable the move_objects_on code and pause game play. Click on the Sim in buy/sell mode and click the bottom of the screen to delete him/her. Once deleted go to the live mode and double clock the person's head icon to go to where that Sim is located. Everything should be close to full.
Enable the move_objects on code, then select a walking Sim with a bad mood in the buy mode. Then, "sell" the Sim. Go back to the live mode and click on the icon of that Sim. Check his/her mood and all except "Room" and "Fun" will be full.
Enable the move_objects on code. Have your Sim to take a shower of bath. When he or she is in the shower or tub, pause game play and enter buy mode. Click on the shower or tub and delete it. Your Sim and tub/shower will be gone. Your tub/shower will be gone permanently, but your Sim will be walking around in your house somewhere else, usually their room. Their "Energy", "Happiness", and sometimes "Fun" will be almost full.
Buying multiple items
When you are buying chairs or other items that you require multiple numbers of, hold [Shift] to repeatedly place the item where desired without having to re-select it.
Never have the carpool leave
Enable the move_objects on code and place the mailbox on one side of the road and your outdoor trash can on the other side; or put a wall across the road. When the carpool appears it will not get by.
Less bills
Keep an unpaid bill until the mailman delivers the next set of bills. Pay the original bill when your mailbox is filled with the next set of bills. This should cause the bills inside the mailbox to disappear.
Less time needed to pay bills
When you get the bills, your Sim will normally walk inside put it on a table before they can be paid. Cancel the table action and that person will put it on the ground. Click on the bill and pay for it immediately.
Never pay bills
Enable the "Move any objects" code. Then, pick up the mailbox and erase it. Bills cannot be delivered if you do not have a mailbox. However, no one will know where you live. Visitors will appear at your house, but just stand there. You also will not be able to greet them.
Deleting garbage and bills
Use the hand to pick up either a plate, trash, or bills. Drag it over something on which you cannot place it, such as a couch or a plant. Then, press [Esc] and the object will disappear. This is especially useful if you do not want tocommand your Sims to clean up or pay the bills.
Cheaper wallpaper and floors
Get money for old wallpaper before you paste new wallpaper in a room. Sell the old wallpaper, then paste the new. This also works on floors.
Free snack
Have your Sim get a snack, and when he/she takes it out, cancel it out before the money message appears. Then, pick it up and eat it.
Trade snacks for money
If you need just a little money, enable the move_objects on code. Have a Sim repeatedly get a snack, but cancel it before they start eating. They will put it on the floor. Then, enter buy mode and click on it. A message stating "press Delete or click here to sell Chips for $15" will appear. The snack only cost $5, so you get a $10 profit.
Free pizza
Order a Pizza, and when the pizza man arrives, do not greet him. Before he leaves, use the move_objects on code to move the pizza out of his hand and put it inside the house.
Get dressed faster
When one of your Sims is eating, enable the move_objects on code and take away their plate. They should immediately get dressed and get on with their day.
VR head
Order a Sim to put on a VR helmet, then start to tell him/her to do something else. The Sim will have a head with a VR helmet.
Stolen vehicles
Enable the move_objects on code to steal the carpool car or schoolbus. enter "Buy mode" or "Build Mode". Use the hand to highlight the car or bus. Move it onto a piece of land. Slant Down the land around the car or bus. If done correctly, the vehicle will become stuck and begin to honk its horn. enter "Buy mode" or "Build Mode" and delete the vehicle to return to normal.
You can keep Sims hostage (kids, adults, FBI agents, and people from the neighborhood) by making a house with one door. Once people are in the house, block the door by creating a pool around the house as large as desired. You can also block the door with stoves and other appliances.
Trap sim
Have a Sim fall asleep on the floor. Enable the move_objects on code and move the Sim under the bed while sleeping. When they get up, they cannot move anywhere unless you move them again or move the bed.
Stop robberies
While the robber is busy stealing all your items, select some sofas or other big furniture and trap him in a corner, or just pile it all around him. If the police do not arrive and you do not call them, the robber will remain stuck until he dies. Note: All the items he was carrying will still be lost.
Get rid of floods
If the house floods, go to build mode, highlight the area, and click. An icon will appear. Click "Delete" to get rid of the flood.
Island house
Build your house, but do not make it too large to have enough room for the water. Take the pool maker and place water all around the house. Note: Make sure you make a small pathway to the road so your Sim can get out of the house.
Very big pool
Enable the rosebud or klapaucius code and repeat to get 9,999,999 simoleans. Enter the rosebud or klapaucius code again, then enable the move_objects on code. You can now turn the road into a pool.
Change any tile
The map_edit on code can be used to lock/unlock any tile on the whole lot. Enter the code, click on the "light" tiles that are not yours, and you will "buy" it for free. You can also click and hold and point over all the light tiles. After all of the desired tiles are yours type map_edit off to exit that mode. The whole lot, including the road, is now yours. Using this trick will allow you to place objects anywhere. You can repaint the side walk or road in any desired color, and decorate anything the way you want.
Easy way to kill a Sim
Send an unwanted Sim to a specific spot. Enter build mode and place a wall around the Sim. Do not put else inside the room with the Sim. The Sim will die in two days.
First take an unwanted Sim and tell him or her to swim. Remove all the exits the and the Sim will die when he or she falls asleep.
Place a Sim in the pool, then enable the move_objects on code to remove the ladders.
Get tombstones
The easiest way to get tombstones short of starving your own family is to starve your neighbors. If you like your neighbors, first create families of eight random people. Then create a closed in area, put a teleporter (custom Downloadable object from various Sims sites), and teleport your neighbors in. It works best if it is a water enclosed area because you can use the move_objects on code to move in one of your less experienced cooks and start a fire with a stove. Make sure you have enough room to keep them away from the fire until it goes out naturally. There is because even if you have a phone, the fireman cannot get to the fire and you cannot move your Sim out of the enclosure until the fire is out. Try to keep them busy cleaning up all the messes on the floor. If you do not want to go through all that trouble, just wait about four days and they will begin to die. Note: If you kill off all your neighbors, they do not reappear when you go back to the neighborhood -- they are dead permanently.
Revive dead Sims
If one of your Sims dies, sell everything in the house. Then, evict the family and buy the house again. When the house loads, all of the Sims will be alive with full mood bars.
Floating house
Build a house on the wooden pillars and make sure you cover the entire area where you are building. After you are done, destroy the pillars underneath it and build stairs to get to your front porch.
Make two stories the same size as you want the top floor to be. The first has to be totally enclosed. Make stairs to the top floor then create the walls, roof, etc. You will not be able to change it later. Finally, delete the walls of the bottom floor, then delete the stairs. Your Sim will be on the top story by himself with no bottom floor.
Use pillars on the first floor to create the shape of the house. Fill in every space inside the shape, except a spot for a staircase. On the second floor, build the house. Enable the move_objects on code, go to the first floor, and delete the pillars. You should now have a staircase going up to a house that is floating.
Disappearing Sim
Build a large amount for stilts in a Square pattern at least 10 wide and 10 long. Click the second level and put flooring on top of the stilts and walls around the top. Place stairs going up to the second level. Have your Sim go up the stairs, then remove the stilts. Enter build mode and delete the stairs and the house will disappear. Rebuild the stairs and click on them. The game should tell your Sim to go Down. When have him or her go back up, they will disappear at the top.
Swim indoors
Make a pool. Hire a Maid and enable the move_objects on code. Pick up the Maid and place her in the pool. She will walk around on top of the water and fall in. She will then swim inside for a while until she gets to the object that she wants to clean.
Holes in roof
Sometimes when you build a big house, Square openings will appear on the roof.
Moving statue
If you buy the Large Black Slab by ChiChi Smith and rotate it, the leg that is up will change.

Hi, I'm Gayle. I'm a retired teacher and am very much enjoying all of God's blessings - especially our grandchildren and traveling. My husband and I love to travel in our RV, and though I'm definitely an amateur, I enjoy taking pictures of the amazing beauty to be found everywhere we go. I first fell in love with this site when I used the wunderful radars as a weather teaching tool in my classroom. Thanks Wunderground! Since I retired I discovered how much I enjoy seeing the world through the pictures here. I am so inspired by the beauty captured by you talented people. There's much to learn from all of you.
