Here's a word puzzle - easy to understand but tough to figure out?

This is how it works-

You are given an alphabetical list of ordinary English words. You have to resort the words of this list into pairs in such a way that, for each pair, all the letters of both words can be put together and rearranged to spell the name of a U.S. city with population of at least 100,000. Each given word is used in one and only one pair. Here is a brief demonstration starting with these six words:

(Example)

all

chin

dorm

gals

sad

save

They can be combined and rearranged like this:

all + sad --> Dallas

chin + dorm --> Richmond

gals + save --> Las Vegas

Now here is the real puzzle list of twenty words. Please include both words along with the city name you make from them for each pair you solve. I will show how to get a maximum score of ten cities (if nobody has already found them) on the last day before voting, and I will choose the best answer then. Here goes, and good luck!

ache

argon

cameo

cask

dimes

flings
