Breathing for a Living: A MemoirA moving account by an extraordinary young woman who mounts a daily struggle with cystic fibrosis in an effort to lead an ordinary life. Twenty one year old Laura Rothenberg has always tried to live a normal life even with lungs that betray her, and a sober awareness that she may not live to see her next birthday.

A moving account by an extraordinary young woman who mounts a daily struggle with cystic fibrosis in an effort to lead an ordinary life. Twenty-one-year-old Laura Rothenberg has always tried to live a normal life--even with lungs that betray her, and a sober awareness that she may not live to see her next birthday. Like most people born with cystic fibrosis, the chronic disease that affects lungs and other organs, Rothenberg struggles to come to grips with a life that has already been compromised in many ways. Sometimes healthy and able to go to school, other times hospitalized for months on end, Rothenberg finds solace in keeping a diary. In her writing, she can be open, honest, and irreverent, like the young person she is. Yet mixed in with this voice is an incredible maturity about her mortality. The memoir opens with Rothenberg's decision to accept a lung transplant. From the waiting--and all it implies to the surgery, recovery, and her new life, Rothenberg muses on mortality in journal entries and poetry. Through it all, she reveals a will and temperament that is strong and wise despite her years. Laura Rothenberg's story, recorded and shared on NPR's Radio Diaries, was awarded the prestigious Third Coast Audio Festival Award, it also received an unprecedented listener response and generated more e-mail than any other story the producers could recall. Rothenberg's story was also featured in the New York Times and U.S. News & World Report.Binding Type: Paperback

Works great for my application.
Size: 6Ft-without USB
This power strip saved me a lot of trouble. I used it to power my Its a Wonderful Life Village, which is composed of 22 buildings each with its own lamp. I went from four power strips to one with this unit. It made the wiring so much neater.

A must have power strip!!!!!! Highly recommend.
Size: 6Ft-without USB
I purchased this during Prime Days in July for $18. There were multiple reasons I purchased this power strip. The list is as follows:
The plug is flat to the electrical socket
The plug rotates, which makes it so easy to plug into any socket and there have been many times I could not use a power strip because of the socket availabilty.
There are sooo many places to plug in anything and they are far enough apart that you can use smart plugs with ease.
The cord I purchased had a 6 foot cord, plenty of room to place the strip behind anything and have room to get easy access.
This strip is at 4,000 Joules, which is very good surge protection.
For the price point, even if it is not on sale, would be worth the purchase. This is a must have in this day and age of power needing devices. P.S. I would have purchased a Amazon strip, but they were “not available” during the Prime days sale.

For anywhere you have a lot of electronics
Size: 6Ft-without USB
I have everything on my desk plugged into it. Sometimes I have to push hard to get the plug in, but the surge protection makes it worth it.
