James C. Price (1838-????), aka Jimmy Price, James A. Hoyt — Pickpocket, burglar; Thomas Price (1842-1889), aka Deafy Price, Thomas McCormick — Pickpocket
From Byrnes's text:
#154 James Price
DESCRIPTION. Forty-five years old in 1886. Born in New York. Married. No trade. Stout build. Height, 5 feet 7 inches. Weight, 170 pounds. Brown hair, dark eyes, thick nose, dark complexion.
RECORD. Jimmy Price is an old New York pickpocket. He has been a "Moll Buzzer" (one who picks a woman's pocket) ever since he was a boy, and confines himself generally to that particular branch of the business. This big, lazy thief has sent many a poor woman home minus her few hard-earned dollars, after her visit to a crowded market, fair, or railroad car. He is a brother of Tommy Price, alias " Deafy " Price, the pickpocket (158), and Johnny Price, the bank sneak. He is well known in all the principal cities in the United States and Canada. He has served terms in Sing Sing prison and on Blackwell's Island.
He was arrested in New York City, and sentenced to one year in Sing Sing prison, on October 20, 1876, under the name of William A. Hoyt, for grand larceny from the person. Since then he has done service for several States, and is now at large. Price's picture is not so good as it might have been, on account of some difficulty he had with the officer, at the time of his arrest, in 1877.
#158 Thomas Price
DESCRIPTION. About forty-four years old in 1886. Born in New York. Single. No trade. Medium build. Height, 5 feet 7 inches. Weight, about 150 pounds. Brown hair, dark eyes, sallow complexion, high forehead, an Irish expression, and is very deaf.
RECORD. "Deafy Price" ought to be well known all over America, as he has been a thief for at least twenty-five years. He is one of the old Bowery gang of pickpockets, and an associate of Old Jim Casey, "Jimmy the Kid" (142), "Big Dick" Morris (141), "Pretty Jimmy" (143), "Jersey Jimmy" (145), "Combo" (148), "Nibbs" (137), "Funeral" Wells (150), and, in fact, all the old timers. He is a brother of Jimmy Price, the "Moll Buzzer" (154), and Johnny Price, the bank sneak. He is a saucy, impudent thief, and wants to be taken in hand at once.
He was arrested in New York City and sent to the work-house on Blackwell's Island, N.Y., on July 3, 1866. He was arrested again in New York City, in company of another man who has since reformed, for an attempt to pick pockets, and sentenced to four months in the penitentiary, on October 17, 1866, by Judge Dodge. He was arrested in New York City again on July 21, 1875, charged with violently assaulting Samuel F. Clauser, of No. 38 East Fourth Street, New York, while that gentleman was walking down Broadway. He was placed on trial on July 27, 1875, in the Court of Special Sessions, in the Tombs prison building, on a charge of assault with intent to steal, as a pickpocket. The evidence of the complainant was not strong enough to convict him of the intent to steal, and he was discharged.
He was arrested again on September 8, 1876, in company of George Williams, alias "Western George" (now dead), at the Reading Railroad depot, near the Centennial Exhibition Grounds, in Philadelphia, Pa. They were taken inside the grounds, and sentenced to ninety days in the penitentiary on September 9, 1876, under a special law passed to protect visitors to the Exposition from professional thieves. He was arrested again in New York City on December 25, 1879, charged with attempting to rob one Marco Sala, an Italian gentleman, while riding on a horse-car. He was committed for trial by the police magistrate, and afterwards discharged by Judge Cowing, in the Court of General Sessions, on January 30, 1880. Price's picture is a good one, although taken fifteen years ago, in New York City.
While it's no surprise that Chief Byrnes included the profiles of lifelong New York pickpockets Jimmy and Tommy Price in Professional Criminals of America, it is a minor mystery that he did not profile brother Johnny Price, a first-class bank sneak thief on par with his frequent partners Rufe Minor, George Carson, Frank Buck, Peppermint Joe Buford, Billy Coleman, etc. Though Byrnes does mention Johnny Price in the profiles of some of the above, he is not merited his own short biography. The reason for this appears to be Byrnes devotion to his format, which required a rogue's gallery photograph for each criminal. Apparently, Johnny was never photographed (or he was and it was mislaid.)
The Prices came from a large Irish family, with no father present by the time the boys were teens. The oldest brother, William, born in 1838, was never a criminal; and in fact appears to have been employed as a broker at New York's Custom House his entire career. There were two daughters, one of whom married a New York police sergeant. However, the three younger brothers fell into crime at an early age, likely through association with the Nineteenth Street gang, led by Stephen Boyle. Jimmy and Tommy were hard of hearing–Tommy profoundly so–but both were called "Deafy" at one point or another. The nickname stuck with Tommy.
As pickpockets, Jimmy and Tommy were highly-skilled. Byrnes indicates that the Prices were known all over the country, but there are few mentions of them in other cities, aside from Philadelphia's Centennial Exhibition in 1876, which attracted pickpockets everywhere.
Jimmy was released from Sing Sing in 1895, when he was about 57 years old. He fate from that point is unknown.
Tommy "Deafy" Price, when he wasn't picking pockets, tended bar and ran a seedy saloon in SoHo. Years later, a police captain recalled Deafy:
Informant Deafy Price
When I was first appointed there was a dance hall of questionable reputation on the south side of Prince Street between Greene and Mercer Streets, kept by a peculiar and notorious crook known as "Deafy Price" who was the most versatile all round thief I ever knew. I came to know him quite well as his place required considerable attention. The hall was soon closed and for several years I used to see Deafy standing in front of Alderman Joe Welling's liquor store on the corner of Houston and Sullivan Streets as I passed there from time to time. One afternoon about 1885 I went over the Chamber Street ferry to see an uncle and aunt off on the Erie on their way home. As I was getting on a Belt Line car on my way home I felt my watch being lifted from the fob pocket of my trousers. I grabbed the hand attached to the watch and discovered that it belonged to Deafy. He started to apologize, when I said, "Deafy you get off and work the next car, I will work this." He got off.
Several months after the above mentioned event I met Deafy on Broadway when he thanked me for overlooking his former indiscretion and said he would be pleased to help me solve any criminal mystery that I had to work out from time to time and directed me where to write so that he would not be known as my "stool." He was of great service to me in many important cases, obtaining information I would not have been able to obtain otherwise. He was said to be so expert as a pickpocket that he taught novices or new beginners his art.
I met Deafy after not having seen him for some years and when I asked him who he was doing now he said,, in a joking way that he was working a large department store that had recently opened. This store had a very opinionated detective whom I wished to try out. When I said to Deafy that I had my doubts of his being able to shop lift anything from there he said, "You get a sample of goods from there, send me that sample and I will send to you at your station the piece of goods it is curt from." I went to the store, selected a sample of very small black and white checked silk which was very fashionable at the time and sent this to Deafy. About a week later the piece of silk was left at my station. I sent for my friend the detective and when he called said to him "your store is being worked by shoplifters." He insisted that it was impossible. I then told him what had occurred, he insisted that my informant must have purchased the goods. We cut a sample from the piece and went to the store. I went to the silk counter at which time he came from the opposite direction. I gave the saleslady my sample, requesting to know if she could match it. She said, "Yes", and commenced searching and after some time remarked, "I am quite sure it has not been sold" which was a fact. I believe the effect of this escapade was beneficial as it caused the detective to get busy and Deafy some time after informed me that he had been compelled to seek new fields for his efforts.
In 1889, Deafy was living with his sister on E. 136th Street, not far from the East River. His sister said that he was despondent and wandered off one day in late March. His body was found in the river a month and a half later, just a block away.

We had an unusual mix of headlines this week on RNA interference, biofuels, and a quiet little startup in Bothell with Icos pedigree.
—There weren't any major life science company financings to report this week, but the state's academic centers had something to crow about with $80 million in new federal grants going to the University of Washington and Washington State University. The money is intended to help scientists find ways to turn lots of our regional biomass into renewable fuels, and hopefully create a few jobs along the way.
—I'm trying an experiment next week with a "Tweetchat" with one of the industry leaders in the field of RNA interference—John Maraganore of Cambridge, MA-based Alnylam Pharmaceuticals. For those of you interested in RNAi, and who have Twitter accounts, this will be a good opportunity. It will start at 10 am Pacific on October 4th, and go for about 30 minutes. The idea is to have an open conversation about where this whole gene-silencing business is going after a series of well-documented setbacks. For those of you not on Twitter, but interested in sending a question in to Maraganore, shoot me an e-mail. There is no shortage of interest in RNAi here in the Northwest, with Seattle-based PhaseRx, Bothell, WA-based Marina Biotech, Vancouver, BC-based Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, Vancouver, BC-based Alcana Therapeutics, and Seattle-based Groove Biopharma all working on various pieces of the puzzle.
—Cocrystal Discovery, led by a couple former Icosahedrons in Gary Wilcox and Sam Lee, has kept a pretty low profile its first three years in business. But that's starting to change now that this company struck a new partnership with Israel-based Teva Pharmaceutical, and Wilcox gave me the inside scoop on what this team is setting out to do with antiviral drugs against hepatitis C, flu, and more.
—Adaptive TCR, a spinoff from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, named a few familiar local biotech names to its roster of various advisors. Lee Huntsman of the Life Sciences Discovery Fund has joined Adaptive's board of directors; Cassian Yee of the Hutch has been added to the scientific advisory board; and Carol Gallagher (formerly of Calistoga Pharmaceuticals) and Stewart Parker of the Infectious Disease Research Institute have been named to the startup's corporate advisory board. Adaptive, for those just tuning in to this story, is using the tools of modern DNA sequencing and computing to help scientists better understand how DNA get shuffled around in B and T cells that make up our adaptive immune systems.
—We had a lot of perspective this week on what it's like for women in biotech—not something I've written much about here the past three years. This week in BioBeat I talked about what looks like a potent new force for closing the gender gap in biotech—a new all-female networking group called Women in Bio. Coincidentally, we also had a guest post from Lisa Suennen, a venture capitalist in San Francisco, who talked about another women-dominated biotech event she recently attended in the Bay Area.

5 Tips To Help Woman With Hormone Imbalance
Our top tips to help balance our hormones
1. Avoid foods that create hormone havoc- Avoid foods like sugar and refined carbohydrates because they can cause blood sugar spikes that affect insulin. Soy is another culprit that contains phytoestrogens called isoflavones that mimic estrogen in the body.
2. Watch for endocrine disruptors-Almost all plastic releases chemicals that mimic estrogen. Pesticides can interfere with hormonal function so eat organic! Pay close attention to the label of skincare products- parabens are endocrine disruptors and are commonly found in products.
3. Exercise regularly-Physical activity is a great way to help lower insulin levels, manage stress and decrease inflammation.
4. Manage stress- Chronic stress increases both our cortisol levels and adrenaline which has a negative effect on our hormones. Try meditation, yoga, and listening to relaxing music to unwind.
5. Natural Herbs! There are several natural herbs that you can use to help with hormonal imbalance and I am going to share with you our top 5 herbs that can help balance out our hormones and why. See below!
Ashwagandha- has been used in ancient cultures for centuries to enhance communication in the endocrine system. It is wonderful at easing stress, thyroid conditions, and strengthening the adrenal system, which is important in balancing sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Ashwagandha has a positive effect on menstrual health and libido.
Astragalus- is known for its immune-stimulating action and its anti-aging effect. The latter is attributed to the compound cycloastragenol in the herb which activates the enzyme telomerase that protects DNA from degradation during replication. Beyond that, astragalus was chosen because of its ability to balance all hormones by helping the body to adapt to physical and emotional stress.
Musta- also know as cypress rotundus...is an emmenagogue, helping stimulate menstrual flow in women. This helps to promote healthy menstruation and regulates the menstrual cycle. Combined with other herbs to treat menstrual problems it can help in treating anemia and general weakness during your cycle.
All Of these herbs can be found in our top-selling product...Hormone Master
Hormone Master is a wildcrafted and organic herbal supplement designed for daily use until lifestyle changes can help to correct hormonal imbalances. In today's world, we are bombarded with endocrine disruptors in the food, water, cosmetics, household cleaners, and toiletries. These "xenoestrogens" bind to our normal hormone receptors and cause hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance, in not just women but men as well.

Ninja Proof!

I like the idea of your WIP!
I've only walked past Nijo Castle, but I can attest to the effectiveness of those nightingale floors in other castles and temples in Japan. Even if you're light on your feet and fairly careful, you can't go anywhere without making enough racket to wake the dead.
Thanks Mary. It's fun to know that you've lived in Japan. Lovely country. There are other beautiful castles there too but we didn't have time to go see any others.
I remember reading about this after the book The Nightingale Floor came out (it was brilliant, did you read it?).
Wish I could see it in person!!!
Super story! I love the nightingale warning system.
I never knew that's what those sqeaky floors were called – lovely. So, now, I'll tell my husband there's no need to fix our old floors – it's only a bird.
That is too cool. Loved the pictures and history!
Great post! I loved Japan and can't wait until my kids are old enough and we can go visit!
I know people who would find a castle like that to be irresistible. They'd want to try to break in, of course.
Silly ninjas. 🙂
Wow! great pictures! And I love the premise of your WIP! Can't wait to hear more!
So that's why my cats go nuts each night… our wood floors have the nightingale warning system!
I love reading your blog!
love the fotos! thanks for sharing. =D
Thanks all. Yeah, I love the floors there. They really are the coolest. It is no joke that when you walk on them they squeak like a bird. It's a special design they invented.
Beth- no I haven't read that book, will have to check it out!
Kim and Nora- Yes! You're floors are not only a special alarm system but also modeled after the Japanese style flooring!
Carrie- Silly Ninjas!
C.R. and Nora- thanks (me smiling)
Cindy- glad you enjoyed. I had fun taking the photos
Wow, that's really cool!
Oh I've been to that castle!
Ok that is really really cool!!!!
What an awesome new MS? That's one I definitely want to read! Oh and by the way, since I have finished my first pass of revisions and have uploaded it to my critters, I am going to start reading your Korea MS now! Can't wait! Am excited!
So cool you've been there Lenore! Love that.
And thanks Ellen. You're the best. Send me payback any time. Hugs.

You've heard it from your parents and your parents' parents: home ownership is the American dream. But is it your dream right now? If not, you're not alone! According to a 2017 survey by Pew Research Center, 65% of households headed by people aged 35 or younger are renting—a jump from 57% in 2006. Even among a slightly older demographic, people aged 35-44, 41% of households were renting, up from 31% in 2006. Why is renting more appealing than ever? Many of the benefits of home ownership have lessened over the years, and the housing crisis of 2008 – which left many hardworking homeowners without a roof over their heads – has had a lingering impact. Fortunately, renting is not only a good alternative…it can be a much better choice! Here are five reasons why: 1. Lower up-front costs A home purchase usually requires a hefty down payment to avoid tacking a Property Mortgage Insurance (PMI) cost onto your mortgage. Even for a modest home of $130,000, many banks prefer a $26,000 down payment if you want to qualify for the best mortgage rates. In contrast, most rental leases require a deposit of only one month's rent…a deposit that is then returned to you when you leave your apartment or townhouse, less any cleaning/damage costs. And don't forget, once you're in the house, you'll be paying interest on your loan and taxes, as well as home maintenance costs. Which leads us to… 2. No unforeseen expenses Yes, of course, renting is an expense…but it's an expense you can predict each month. When you own your own home and something stops working – the plumbing, the heat, major appliances – you pay out of pocket for repairs. In most rental arrangements, such routine repair and maintenance is covered, except for any appliances you own. 3. Flexibility In today's dynamic economy, life can change pretty fast. While owning a home requires some serious planning when you are considering making a job shift or moving to a new location, rental leases are far more flexible. Most leases are for six months or a year, and many include opt-out provisions if you have to move across town—or even across country—for your job. 4. Location For many young professionals, having housing that's close to work and dynamic entertainment hubs is a huge advantage. Who wants to commute an hour a day on congested roads? However, in order to buy an affordable home, many prospective homeowners find themselves looking in the suburbs, far away from town centers. As a renter, you have your pick of apartment communities that match your lifestyle and interests—and put you close to either work or areas of the city you most enjoy. 5. Community Though as a society, we value our privacy highly, there can be such a thing as too much isolation. Being a part of a thriving apartment or townhome community can open up opportunities for you to explore new activities with like-minded neighbors, whether it's mixing at a social event, hanging out by the pool or in the fitness center, or getting together with others for off-site adventures. Apartment living allows you to enjoy your own space when you want…and to go out and easily mix with others whenever the mood strikes. Is renting right for you? It's easy to find out! Surf apartment communities online, make appointments to visit the ones that appeal to you, and consider everything you most want in a home –proximity to work and city areas that matter to you, size, cost, location…you deserve a home that's perfect for your needs! And chances are, you'll find one as a renter. Have more questions about renting one of our apartments or townhomes?
One thought on "Is Renting the new American Dream?"
From children's point of view : Kids find many new friends to play with in an Apartment complex like BRG @ Deercross. Parents don't need to organize kids playdates and save time of drop off and pick up. This is the main reason we are not buying a house.

Bria Anai Performs Adele's 'One and Only' on 'American Idol' [VIDEO]
15-year-old Bria Anai instantly popped out to 'American Idol' judges because of her sparkly pink lips that she matched to her bright pink pants.
But she stayed on their minds thanks to her performance of Adele's 'One and Only.'
Bria's singing voice more than made up for the attention grabbing nature of her makeup. The judges were immediately impressed that she had such a rich voice at only 15, and they passed her through to the next round -- with three shouts of approval, of course.

Suboxone is a prescription medication that helps patients who are struggling with opioid addiction. It contains two main active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone. Understanding what it is and how it works is one of the best ways to make sure it is used properly. So the more we know about drugs and their effects, the less likely we are to get addicted.
So today we are going to answer one of the most common questions regarding suboxone: is it a narcotic? Let's take a closer look.
Suboxone: What is it for?
The two main chemicals within suboxone can help people get over their opioid addiction—through gradual medical detox, of course.
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning it binds to the same receptors that opioids attach to. This means if you take buprenorphine, your brain is going to think you've already taken an opioid. But buprenorphine is much less potent compared to your standard opioids, so the risk of getting addicted is much lower.
On the other hand, we have naloxone. This is a substance added to buprenorphine to discourage abuse. If a person tries to misuse buprenorphine by tampering with it or injecting it directly into their bloodstream, naloxone will cause withdrawal effects. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, reducing the chances of someone abusing the drug.
The resulting substance is a combination drug, suboxone, which can help patients get sober again—granted that they take the drug properly.
Is It a Narcotic?
To answer this, we have to know what a narcotic is. In law enforcement, a narcotic is any controlled substance, any illegal drug, or any drug with a high potential for abuse. It doesn't matter what type of drug it is. We can say that suboxone is a narcotic, considering it is only available via prescription from a licensed physician.
It is not an illegal drug, but you're still not supposed to take it recreationally. Some drug users will take suboxone to get high. While the risk of addiction is low, it is still possible to get addicted to suboxone.
The medical industry has a more specific definition of the term narcotic. In fact, the word "narcotic" is only another term for opiates and opioids. Both types of drugs are derived from the opium poppy plant. Opiates are the natural derivatives; opioids are the synthetic and semi-synthetic versions.
Opiates and opioids are prescribed for moderate to severe pain, including traumatic pain, cancer pain, and post-surgical pain. Unfortunately, some people abuse them, hence the need for medications like suboxone.
[maxbutton id="3″ ]
Only buprenorphine is classified as a narcotic, because it is an opioid. So we can say that narcotic is a term with different meanings based on the context. But suboxone can be considered a narcotic in both contexts because it contains an opioid. In fact, it is addictive when taken in large enough doses.
It's ironic how the medications that help fight against addiction can be abused as well. But there's still hope. An addicted individual can still recover with the help of medical detox and behavioral therapy. When done right, a narcotic user can go back to living a sober life.

He's proper, tall and handsome, likewise his bonny eyes;
He rises in the morning his bread all for to win
While all the other tradesmen sits burning up their shins.
Once I loved a ploughboy as dear as I loved my life,
It was my whole intention to be his wedded wife;
It was my cruel parents that proved my destiny
Which caused a separation between my love and me.
My love he's tall and handsome, complete on every limb,
For his looks and mild behaviour there's few can equal him;
When he rises in the morning and he steps on the green hay
It's who is like a ploughboy all in the month of May.
The lark she rises early, full early from her nest,
She goes up into the air with the dew all on her breast
And all that whole day o'er and o'er she'll whistle and she'll sing
And at night she will return again with the dew all on her wing.
Now if that you are coming home from a dance or from a play,
If you meet a pretty girl by chance all on your way,
It's if you do not love her, let her pass on her way,
It's never never mind her, the ploughboy he did say.
In English folk song, praise of rural trades and labour is a common subject. Robert's 'Ploughboy' is of English origin, its chief source a broadside frolic, 'The lark in the morning', which early collectors have been blamed for reducing by expurgation to a mere lyric: Reeves 1,2, see Notes. So it is interesting to see that our Irish singers have reduced it similarly, at the same time introducing the theme of separation in love: v.2. This is apparently the theme of another song, preserved in an Antrim fragment, which has lines corresponding to v. 3.1–2, 'My love he's tall and handsome', BBC 24835, 2 v. sung in 1955 by Robert Cinnamond.

ASUS Announces ZenBook 13 UX331 Ultraportable Laptop With Potent GeForce MX150 GPU
The ZenBook 13 UX331 is an all-new laptop for ASUS, and is being described as the "world's thinnest laptop with discrete graphics." Like the ZenBook Flip 14, the ZenBook 13 makes use of a 8th generation Core processor; in this case, the Core i5-8250. Likewise, the GeForce MX150 GPU is also carried over to this ultraportable laptop.
The Pascal-based GPU outputs to a 13.3-inch 1920x1080 NanoEdge touchscreen display (178-degree viewing angles, 100% sRGB, ASUS Pen support). Other major specs include 8GB of LPDDR3-2133 memory, a 256GB SATA hard drive, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2. When it comes to physical connections, you'll find a USB 3.1 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and a microSD card reader.
As for the audio experience, ASUS has this to say:
The powerful Harman Kardon-certified audio system in the ZenBook 13 features the next generation of ASUS SonicMaster technology. With its tailored mix of superior hardware — including low-distortion smart-amplifier technology that can boost volume by up to 3.5X — and cleverly designed software, the ZenBook 13 delivers a solid audio experience.
The ZenBook 13 of course features an aluminum unibody construction, has an 80 percent screen-to-body ratio, is just 13.9mm thick, and weighs only 2.47 pounds. The laptop incorporates a full-size backlit keyboard with 1.4mm key travel, and a Windows Precision Touchpad with built-in palm rejection. There's even a fingerprint sensor incorporated into the keyboard deck that supports Windows Hello.
The ZenBook 13 UX331 is available now in Royal Blue priced at $999 from popular retailers like Amazon and Newegg.
