Pembrokeshire mum shares photos of her brain-damaged son
Adevastated mother has shared the heart-breaking photographs of her brain-damaged son after he 'died' for ten minutes when he hanged himself. Helen Barnes says her son Jack, 19, was found hanging in a woodland by police before they cut him down and started CPR. He then was rushed to hospital and placed in an induced coma for two weeks. Now the mother-of-three, who gave up her job to spend every day with her 'vegetative' son, has made the difficult decision to share photos of Jack's journey in a bid to show the devastating impact of mental illness. Jack was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at the age of 15 but after three years of monthly group therapy he appeared to turn a corner and went back to college. But Ms Barnes was immediately worried when she heard the front door open and close at 9.30pm on March 4 and minutes later Jack texted saying, 'I have just popped out. Don't worry xxx'. As it was out of character for Jack to leave home alone, Ms Barnes called Dyfed Powys Police and the teen's lifeless body was found hanging in a woodland at around 10:30pm. The former support worker, of Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire, said: 'As soon as I got that text from Jack, I knew something was wrong. 'He never just popped out or put kisses in his texts. I didn't want to overreact because he had been doing so well so I called the police non-emergency line. 'But knowing his mental health problems, they raised it as an emergency. They then found him in a woodland. 'The first officer cut him down and started doing CPR. I could never thank her enough, she saved my son's life. 'The police took me and Jack's twin sister Lucy to the hospital and when the doctors told us Jack had hung himself I passed out from the shock. Lucy told me she heard my head ricochet off the hospital floor. 'When I came too, I thought that was it, I thought I'd lost Jack. And I felt like a complete failure that I hadn't called 999. He had just been so great for so long. 'No mother should have to see their child in intensive care, hooked up to all those machines. It was absolutely heartbreaking. 'And after the pain of having to accept that my son wanted to die and spending every day at his bedside praying that he wouldn't, we found out he will live but with no quality of life. It was devastating. 'Jack's body was deprived of oxygen for so long that he will be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. 'He will never eat again, speak again, he will never have a girlfriend, get married, have kids or have any independence. To know that as his mum is awful, every day is a battle to keep going. 'We have always had this saying in our house that 'mum's hugs fix everything' but they won't fix this, no matter how hard I try. 'After his suicide attempt, Jack remained in intensive care at Withybush Hsopital in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, until June 1 when he was transferred to a neuro rehab unit at Neath Port Talbot Hospital in Wales. At the rehab centre Jack has received 'brilliant' care and support with daily physiotherapy and speech therapy sessions. Jack is also due to have surgery on his mouth as he has lost control of his jaw and often bites down on his own lip - once so hard he lost a tooth. Although he will never be able to verbally communicate again, the doctors hope Jack will one day be able to operate a switch on a communication device and electric wheelchair. Eventually, Ms Barnes' house will be adapted so that Jack can move back home and the mum has set up a gofundme page called Jack's Fund to raise money to buy special sensory equipment for her son. But the teen's progress is very slow and in almost eight months Jack can only just move his hands from an armrest into his lap and blink once for 'no' and twice for 'yes'. Ms Barnes' revealed that when she asks Jack now if he still wants to die, her son will blink twice - something she fears will never change. She said: 'So much has happened. Jack spent two weeks on a breathing machine, he had to have a tracheostomy, he has fought off sepsis, he has developed epilepsy. 'The only reason he has survived is because he is so young and has a strong heart but he's still got a lot more to go through. 'It is horrendous to see him like this. He doesn't need to be able to speak for me to see that he's in pain. I'm so frightened that him wanting to die will never change. 'The care and support we have had has been brilliant. And as much as I can't wait to bring him home, the idea of not having that support

The Last Republic Links
Biography
The Last Republic formed in 2008, after meeting at the infamous rock venue The Duke of Wellington in Neath, South Wales. After gigging their way around Wales' and London's club circuit, they forged a reputation as a 'must see' live act and soon scored their first big break after entering Virgin Media's 'The Road To V' competition.
After weeks of TV coverage and seeing off competition from over 3500 bands, The Last Republic followed in the footsteps of The Young Knives and Bombay Bicycle Club to win the competition. Receiving 20,000 votes in the final, the band earned the right to play on The Main Stage at the V Festival alongside the likes of Oasis and The Killers in front of 10,000 people each day.
Following this success, The Last Republic toured the UK several times, performed at numerous UK festivals, received national airplay from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, XFM, NME, Q and Kerrang Radio and played a sold-out support show at London's O2 Arena -- all before releasing their debut album, 'Parade', to widespread critical acclaim towards the end of 2010.
Described by lead signer Jonnie Owen as being about the malaise of social degradation and the subversion of morality, 'Parade' is full of anthems for a generation, with the strangely uplifting melancholic melodies perfectly complimented by the distorted grandeur of the band's sonic soundscapes.
After extensively touring the UK for the final three months of 2010, The Last Republic began 2011 with a an invitation to perform at The News International Awards in London, where the band were introduced by The Sun's Gordon Smart as their 'Bizarre Top Tip for 2011', describing the band as the real deal.
As one of the hardest working live bands around, The Last Republic spent January & February 2011 on two sell-out tours of mainland Europe before heading to Austin, Texas, in March to perform a string of packed live shows at this year's SXSW.
The Last Republic have since toured the UK throughout May 2011 and played the Download, Godiva and Bearded Theory festivals, amongst others, in between returning to the recording studio to complete their second album, due for release in Spring 2012.
...speaking of the future, here are a band who have a big part in it. -- Zane Lowe -- BBC Radio 1
Vibrant cinematic tracks filled with energetic riffs and singalong choruses -- The Fly magazine
The Last Republic are making a name for themselves as purveyors of soaring epic anthems...Catchier than the clap and dressed sharper than razors, it's clear that The Last Republic have the proverbial 'bigger things' lined up squarely in their crosshairs.. -- Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
Parade confidently indicates that the sky is pretty much the limit for The Last Republic. -- Kerrang! magazine
The Last Republic rustle up a big, blustery, stadium-sized noise on their fully fledged debut, Parade. Shades of Keane, Muse and Manic Street Preachers are everywhere, all driven home by Jonnie Owen's impassioned vocals. As recipes go, there's an undeniable logic. -- Q magazine
Parade is bursting at the seams with epic tunes, and each one of them has anthem written all over it...The Last Republic have lived up to the expectation and finally look like a band that are worthy of the hype, long may it last. -- 9/10 -- Subba-Cultcha
One of the best new bands to emerge from Wales? Of course not! More like one of the best from the whole of Great Britain ***** (5 Stars) --

One listen to Parade will prove to anyone that The Last Republic are the most exciting band to come from anywhere this year; truly exceptional stuff. -- AAA Music

TURN! TURN! TURN! (Lyrics) - THE BYRDS
For educational purposes only and no copyright infringement intended.
About the song:
Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season), often abbreviated to Turn! Turn! Turn!, is a song adapted entirely from the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible (with the exception of the last line) and put to music by Pete Seeger in 1959. Seeger waited until 1962 to record his own version of it, releasing the song on his The Bitter and the Sweet album on Columbia Records.
Turn! Turn! Turn! was the third single by the American folk rock band The Byrds and was released on October 1, 1965 by Columbia Records (see 1965 in music). The song was also included on the band's second album, Turn! Turn! Turn!, which was released on December 6, 1965. The Byrds' single (b/w She Don't Care About Time) is the most successful recorded version of the song, having reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts and #26 on the UK Singles Chart. The Byrds' version distinguishes the song as the #1 pop hit with the oldest lyrics, dating back to the Book of Ecclesiastes. Many biblical scholars believe Ecclesiastes 1:1 implies King Solomon as the book's author; thus, if true, giving Solomon (born c. 1011 BC) lyrical credit for a number one hit.

Installing Baseboarders DIY Baseboard Heater Covers
This is the only one-size-fits-most, baseboard heater cover, and is the easiest way to renovate old and ugly baseboard heaters with a new, simple and elegant look. It only takes a couple minutes to install, and you won't need any tools or hired help.
There are two styles to choose from. The Perforated style made of 22 gauge perforated steel provides an alternative look the normal baseboard installation. The Slotted style works the same, but provides a more traditional look.
First, you should verify that your existing baseboard heaters will fit the heater covers. Make sure there are 5 ½ inches to 6 ¾ inches between the bottom of the heating element to the top. Then, make sure there is less than a 3 ¼ inch depth from the wall to the outside of the heating element. Finally, make sure there more than 7 ½ inches from the floor to the top of the heater.
Next, you will need to order the correct cover sizes. Remove the existing end caps and measure the top of the existing baseboard. Each endcap can add up to 1-3/4 to the covered length. When measuring an inside corner, you must measure from one end of the L to the wall, and then subtract 3 inches, then repeat for the other side.
If the length does not match any of the standard sizes, a custom length can be reached. When ordering on SupplyHouse.com, during the checkout process, all you need to do is add the exact length you want in the Special Instructions box. Alternatively you can cut the perforated style yourself using hand shears, you can not do this with the slotted style. If you need a length greater than 7 feet, you just need to purchase two or more front panels and a baseboard coupler.
Installation requires a 4 step process. Remove the existing end caps. Next, remove the front cover. Then, install the new baseboard cover and push down to secure it in place. Finally, install the new end caps. Another way to do this is to install the end caps on the front panel, and then install the front panel to the back plate. Both ways allow you to slide the end caps to tweak the exact end to end span. The ¾ inch lip on the back of each plate is what keeps the baseboard cover in place allowing it to stay securely installed. In a situation where you no longer have the back plate, you can install wall brackets to use instead. You only need 2 per panel, but 3 is recommended for larger sizes.
Cleaning is also made easy for the perforated style. You simply place the vacuum right over the many holes to remove dust inside the cover without removing it. You must remove the slotted style front panel to vacuum inside the unit.
Tip: Baseboarders baseboard heater covers are available from the manufacturer in a solid white finish. All covers are powder-coated and can easily be painted to customize the color. Spray-on, latex paint without primer is recommended for painting Baseboarders. If kids will be near the covers or if you have pets, then primer is recommended. High heat paint is not necessary.

YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG
You're a grand old flag
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You're the emblem of The land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Every heart beats true

Where there's never a boast or brag
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag
You're a grand old flag
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You're the emblem of The land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Every heart beats true

Where there's never a boast or brag
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag
Keep your eye on the grand old flag
Keep your eye on the grand old flag
