Okay, so most of these scenes have absolutely nothing to do with one another, but it's as good an excuse as any to put Selena in some fun get-ups rather then dedicating a whole video to fit an 18th century Mozart theme. Plus, we love that the karaoke singer right before Selena was singing her single "Naturally".
What do you think of Selena's video? Still pretty entertaining even without pink horses, right? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.

Why You Shouldn't Take Everything So Personally
And then we fantasized … what if I had to pee or get a drink, and simply said "I'll be right back" and got my needs met?
There is a lot to learn from the men in our lives. I know this sounds ridiculous, but perhaps we need to be reminded that getting a drink of water or going to pee does not mean we love or respect or care less about others. All it means is there is a need to be met. The insidiousness of what we were taught and what we pass along to our children — that women need to put their needs aside in order to first "take care of the needs of others" — has to change.
I have a revolutionary idea. Let's make a deal, when it's time to pee, eat, drink or sleep, we will!

My question would be this.
Police are not liable for not being there to protect you, but would the Brady Bunch be liable for printing that? They are trying to sway people to their side, but in effect or lying to them and putting them in danger.
If I was the range officer and told someone they were safe to go downrange while others are shooting and they get shot, the club and myself would be seeing a lawsuit.

Hey guys. It's Brea. I am sitting here with a huge stack of clothes right now because I'm running short on cash. Holiday season is over and I've bought like everybody I know a present, so now I don't have any money. So the reason I have a big stack of clothes is you can go to these crib stores or sell back shops, I don't know what they're called. Ours is called (maintenance?) closet and you can sell your used clothes for money. So I'm gonna go do that today and I'll tell you guys what my guide to getting money back. I've got like $170 from them before. What I do is try to give them stuffs that you bought that you don't like anymore, which is like you're super skew but the stuff that still has a tag on it, the more quality tag. And also try and give them mostly name brands stuff, not like name brand like coats 'cause I don't even have anything like that. I'm talking like Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, stores like that that we can afford, for college students. I can afford for college students. I would also try and make sure when you put them in the bag that they're folded neatly so they look new. It still look like you use them because usually when they look at them, they're looking for folds and rubs and dirty looking clothes. These stores love shoes. Give them shoes. They love Tom's, they love Nike, they love those shoes from Urban Outfitters that we don't tuck their laces and they're like different colors. They buy those. So I would definitely try selling those if you wanna make some cash. Just make yourself like as presentable as possible and I'm sure they will buy everything from you. Take these tips and go make some money. Share it with me.

Theatr Stiwt first opened its doors on 25 September 1926 and true to the vision of its founders it was to dominate the social and cultural life of the local community for decades. It provided not only a theatre in Wrexham but also a concert hall, cinema, games rooms, public library and multi-function rooms.
The theatre was built by the community for the community by the Miners Welfare Organisation who levied 1p a ton on extracted coal in the harsh years of the depression between 1924-26 at a cost of almost £18,000. It was supported and run on a daily basis by subscription of 2 pence per week from the meagre wages of hard working miners who managed to raise another £20,000.
Sadly, Theatr Stiwt entered a period of decline during the 1970s which eventually led to its closure in 1976. Falling into disrepair, the grand old building was considered for demolition in 1985 due to its condition, made worse by dry rot and ingress of rainwater through its vandalised roof.
The potential permanent loss of the theatre became the subject of several committees set up to raise funding for restoration from the early 1980's which resulted in the eventual formation of the Stiwt Arts & Leisure Committee in 1988.
The efforts of local volunteers was eventually recognised and rewarded with substantial funding including a £2.1 million Heritage Lottery Grant. The refurbished facilities came at a total cost of £4.3 million, making the theatre second to none in the area. Theatr Stiwt was re-opened for business in September 1999 under the control of a limited Charitable trust The Stiwt Arts Trust Limited.
The Stiwt can be found at Stiwt Theatre, Broad Street, Rhosllannerchrugog, Wrexham, LL14 1RB

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The priest Pashhur was chief officer in the LORD's temple. He was the son of Immer. Pashhur heard me prophesying that Jerusalem would be destroyed. | 1 When the priest Pashhur son of Immer, the chief officer in the temple of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, |
2 So he had me beaten. Then he put me in prison at the Upper Gate of Benjamin at the LORD's temple. | 2 he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin at the LORD's temple. |
3 The next day Pashhur set me free. I said to him, "The LORD's name for you isn't Pashhur. It's Magor-Missabib. That name means Terror on Every Side. | 3 The next day, when Pashhur released him from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD's name for you is not Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib. |
4 "The LORD says to you, 'I will make you a terror to yourself. You will also be a terror to all of your friends. With your own eyes you will see them die. Their enemies will kill them with swords. I will hand all of the people of Judah over to the king of Babylonia. He will carry them away to Babylonia or kill them with swords. | 4 For this is what the LORD says: 'I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will hand all Judah over to the king of Babylon, who will carry them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. |
5 " 'I will hand all of the wealth of this city over to Judah's enemies. I will give them all of its products and everything of value. I will turn over to them all of the treasures that belonged to the kings of Judah. They will take those things and carry them off to Babylon. | 5 I will hand over to their enemies all the wealth of this city--all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. They will take it away as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. |
6 " 'Pashhur, you and everyone who lives in your house will also be forced to go there. You have prophesied lies to all of your friends. So all of you will die in Babylonia. And that's where your bodies will be buried.' " | 6 And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.' " |
7 Lord, you tricked me, and I was tricked. You overpowered me and won. People make fun of me all day long. Everyone laughs at me. | 7 O LORD, you deceived me, and I was deceived; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me. |
8 Every time I speak, I cry out. All you ever tell me to talk about is fighting and trouble. Your message has brought me nothing but dishonor. It has made me suffer shame all day long. | 8 Whenever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction. So the word of the LORD has brought me insult and reproach all day long. |
9 Sometimes I think, "I won't talk about him anymore. I'll never speak in his name again." But then your message burns in my heart. It's like a fire inside my very bones. I'm tired of holding it in. In fact, I can't. | 9 But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. |
10 I hear many people whispering, "There is terror on every side! Report Jeremiah! Let's report him to the authorities!" All of my friends are waiting for me to slip. They are saying, "Perhaps he will be tricked into making a mistake. Then we'll win out over him. We'll get even with him." | 10 I hear many whispering, "Terror on every side! Report him! Let's report him!" All my friends are waiting for me to slip, saying, "Perhaps he will be deceived; then we will prevail over him and take our revenge on him." |
11 But you are with me like a mighty warrior. So those who are trying to harm me will trip and fall. They won't win out over me. They will fail. They'll be totally put to shame. Their dishonor will never be forgotten. | 11 But the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced; their dishonor will never be forgotten. |
12 Lord, you rule over all. You test those who do what is right. You see what is in people's hearts and minds. So pay them back for what they've done. I've committed my cause to you. | 12 O LORD Almighty, you who examine the righteous and probe the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you I have committed my cause. |
13 Sing to the Lord, you people! Give praise to him! He saves the lives of those who are in need. He saves them from the powerful hands of sinful people. | 13 Sing to the LORD! Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked. |
14 May the day I was born be under a curse! May the day I was born to my mother not be blessed! | 14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me not be blessed! |
15 May the man who brought my father the news be under a curse! He's the one who made my father very glad. He said, "You have had a baby! It's a boy!" | 15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, who made him very glad, saying, "A child is born to you--a son!" |
16 May that man be like the towns the LORD destroyed without pity. May that man hear loud sobs in the morning. May he hear a battle cry at noon. | 16 May that man be like the towns the LORD overthrew without pity. May he hear wailing in the morning, a battle cry at noon. |
17 He should have killed me in my mother's body. He should have made my mother my grave. He should have let her body stay large forever. | 17 For he did not kill me in the womb, with my mother as my grave, her womb enlarged forever. |
18 Why did I ever come out of my mother's body? I've seen nothing but trouble and sorrow. My days will end in shame. | 18 Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow and to end my days in shame? |

It may be 'incalculable' for you, but all you had to do was look up the CBO's revised projections. I guess fact finding is harder work than assuming, diverting and complaining about the failure of this administration to deliver on their campaign promises. Back to the drawing board, comrade.

Yep, I'm thinking about changing my purchase idea from the SKS to the old AK-47, for a number of reasons.
1. Compactness -- AKs seem to have a handier frame than the SKSs do, which would make it better for roadtrips/camping that I plan on using it for.
2. Magazines. C'mon, you gotta love the look of that drum. :-D
3. I've heard the AK is more accurate than the SKS; this may not be the case, just what I've heard.
Alright, but here is the problem -- I know absolutely nothing about the AK-47! Okay, I know some, but not as much as I need to make a good purchase. What types/styles are out there? Which are best? Is the folding stock kind okay? Is that cool-looking drum any good, and where can I find them? So I'm asking you for all the info (and pics) that you got on AK-47s. Let the info and stories begin!!

I received a cyclamen a couple of weeks ago as a gift. After doing a little research (because many of the flowers have fallen off and leaves are turning yellow), I discovered that the plant should have been in dormancy since spring or early summer. Plus, it's WAY too hot around here (even indoors) for it! It's about 95 degrees outside, and 70 inside.
It is on the kitchen table now with a skylight overhead, and was in a eastern facing window before that, in the sun room (a big no-no!) What should I do with it??? Is it too late to prepare it for dormancy (1st frost is about 2 mos. away). Any help would be appreciated! |

Hi RD, Sorry no one has answered, I suspect they don't have the experience to know what to suggest. While I've had these plants several times, I've not been successful keeping them. I also once gave some to my sister for Thanksgiving, after a time hers pooped out too. I don't know what to tell you, my experience is over time the leaves yellow & drop or if not drop & look all yellow, I removed them. I don't think one prepares the plant for dormancy, I think the plant tells us when it's going by turning yellow. I just have no knowledge or experience in how to hold them over. I'm curious what it says online about how to keep them, I've never searched for that info. I have some friends here in NYC who have some winter hardy Cyclamen in their yard that comes back every year, but I think that's exceptional, rather than the norm. |

If the plant has had leaves for 4 months or so, it made enough food for the bulb. To send it into dormancy, just withhold water. The leaves will yellow and die, and the bulb should be stored in the hottest driest place you have, but not the oven. A garage or shed is fine. don't let the critters eat it, a few do. Come November, you will probably see new leaves coming out the top. Plant the bulb in good organic rich soils and water it normally. Feed it well for best results, but not with too much nitrogen. These come from a region extending from the Mediterranean to Central Asia. Lots of bulbs from this region. Garlics, Tulips and Fritillarias come to mind. Places that get no rain in the hottest times, and many plants like Cyclamen grow in the cooler, wetter times. If the plant gets water all year, it will keep a few sad leaves and not bloom. A hot dry rest will re-set the cycle. |

$28 on the West side of Cleveland (Gale's) for last year's BX...yeesh! Date code was so faded I couldnt read it. But: it's still in good shape, it's 5 minutes away, and we ARE in a big metro area. Lots of places carrying Premier's ProMoss, but not Pro Mix. ...and a bale oughta last me a season. If I find a need for more than 1 bale at a time I may look a bit further afield... --Don |
I wish i could even find the stuff in my area. I have tried: 1) Walmart 2) Lowes 3) Farm & Home 4) Big R 5) Menards I have not had any luck at all finding it. |

Thanks for hint donandsara but it says the closest place to my location is 60 miles away :( |
i am just wondering if it is possible to make my own mix,seeing as pro-mix is so difficult to come across in some areas and in the larger sizes.Does anyone know what exactly is in pro-mix anyway? |
I make my own mix and I think it works great for potted plants. It has excellent drainage. Components are basically: 1 large bag mushroom compost 1/2-3/4 bag perlite 1/4-1/2 bag sand mix together kendra |

Where do you find mushroom compost? I am guessing I will be searching hi and low for it here in Florida with people looking at me strange from my request like I am an alien. |
Dont feel bad pepperz,,I was about to ask the same question and im up here in CT.Maybe it is available here ,but i just never noticed.I Wonder if anything,(cow,horse manure,compost from the bin,etc..)would be comparable? |
we get the mushroom compost for one of the grocery stores that sells the huge bags of top soil, mulch, potting soil, etc. They happen to have bags of mushroom compost also. I don't think cow or horse would be quite the same texture. Maybe you could mix in earthworm castings also kendra |

watch for lawsuits on this stuff you guys call mycorrhize or micro??? in the promix. it is the result of stunted plants and many greenhouse owners looking for compensation on what it has done to our plants . I have 600 bales of this weed riden garbage and will never use it again. a friend in the business has 17000 plants that are in this soil and nothing but problems . shayne |
- Posted by cmpman1974 Zone 6 MI (My Page) on Wed, May 16, 07 at 22:41
Shayne, I am VERY interested in this issue. I have had weak plants this season and the only difference from previous years was I used the ProMix Bx with mycorrhize. I used to use regular ProMix Bx. Plants are weak for the most part. However, others use it and have reported success. There are so many variables to isolate that I can't pinpoint this as my problem. I can say I've NEVER seen such small pepper plants after 3 months under lights. It gor me very frustrated this season. Chris |

The Premier www site doesnt give the exact formula...but Promix BX and Promix Potting/Seeding appear to have similar ingredients...maybe a good choice for those who can't find BX... The Potting & seeding mix is at every Home Depot around here (Cleveland OH) --Don |
There is a big mushroom place in connecticut that will sell you spent mushroom compost. I believe you can buy it cheap by the truckload and smaller amounts. It was too far for me to drive. I found it on the internet. I am sure you can find it. Some people should know where it is located. |
- Posted by fiedlermeister 04/05 (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 07 at 5:27
I'm having my usual good results with Pro Mix. I used to buy mycorrhizal fungi separately before they added it to Pro Mix ( I learned from jt), john |

this stuff is crap!!!!! I have more and more issues everyday cause of this crap !!! I talked to a guy and looks like a huge batch of promix was done wrong and is causing havok in the greenhouse industry. miracle grow is hitting the public with major advertising on there soil and people are loving it. I hope that in the future there will be soil that is just dirt and not all that other junk so i can grow stuff that i can control what fertalizer is in it and not what the big guys think i need... |
"topsoil" is just plain old pulverized black dirt. my mix this year was equal parts topsoil, mushroom compost, composted manure, perlite, and then the usual soil amendments. |
That is why you buy or otherwise obtain your own dirt (topsoil), compost, perlite, sand, etc and mix your own. It is way cheaper than most of those store bought ones and you have absolute control over the ingredients. I would like more details on exactly was done "wrong" with the promix. Making potting/seed starting mix is not exactly rocket science and what could they have done differently that is causing all these problems. kendra |
What exactly is mycorrhizal fungi,anyway? |

Puerto Rican citizenship
Puerto Rican citizenship was first legislated by the U.S. Congress in Article 7 of the Foraker Act of 1900[1] and later recognized in the Puerto Rican constitution.[2][3] On October 25, 2006, Juan Mari Brás became the first person to receive a Puerto Rican citizenship certificate from the Puerto Rico Department of State.[4] According to the Puerto Rico Supreme Court, a Puerto Rican citizen may renounce United States citizenship.[5]
United States recognition of Puerto Rican citizenship[edit]
On April 12, 1900, the Congress of the United States enacted the Foraker Act of 1900, which replaced the governing military regime in Puerto Rico with a civil form of government. Section VII of this act created a Puerto Rican citizenship for the residents "born in Puerto Rico and, therefore, subject to its jurisdiction".[2] The Puerto Rican citizenship replaced the Spanish citizenship that Puerto Ricans enjoyed at the time of the American invasion[6] in 1898.[7] Such Puerto Rican citizenship was granted by Spain in 1897.[8] This citizenship was reaffirmed by the United States Supreme Court in 1904 by its ruling in Gonzales v. Williams which denied that Puerto Ricans were United States citizens and labeled them as noncitizen nationals.[9] In a 1914 letter of refusal to the offer of U.S. citizenship and addressed to both the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress, the Puerto Rico House of Delegates stated "We, Porto Ricans, Spanish-Americans, of Latin soul ... are satisfied with our own beloved Porto Rican citizenship, and proud to have been born and brethren in our own motherland."[10] The official 1916 Report by the American colonial governor of Puerto Rico to the U.S. Secretary of War (the old name for the Department of Defense[11]), addresses both citizenships, the Puerto Rican citizenship and United States citizenship,[12] in the context of the issuance of passports, further evidencing that the Puerto Rican citizenship did not disappear when the Americans took over the island in 1898.
Puerto Rican citizenship and Puerto Rican nationality[edit]
A 1918 official report from the American colonial governor of Puerto Rico to the U.S. Secretary of War, this one after the Jones Act of 1917 had become law, states that the "passports...[are used to] prove a person's nationality," thus making clear that Puerto Rican citizenship and Puerto Rican nationality were one and the same.[13] Currently, the United States government recognizes this status in its own records. For example, the CIA World Fact Book, states that the nationality of Puerto Ricans is not "American" but, in fact, "Puerto Rican."[14] The Spanish Government also recognizes Puerto Ricans as a people with Puerto Rican, "and not American," citizenship. It also provides Puerto Rican citizens privileges not provided to citizens of several other nations.[15] Since 2007, the Government of Puerto Rico has been issuing "Certificates of Puerto Rican Citizenship" to anyone born in Puerto Rico or to anyone born outside of Puerto Rico with at least one parent who was born in Puerto Rico.
United States citizenship[edit]
On March 2, 1917, the Jones-Shafroth Act was signed, collectively making Puerto Ricans citizens without rescinding their Puerto Rican citizenship. In 1922, the U.S. Supreme court in the case of Balzac v. Porto Rico ruled that the full protection and rights of the U.S constitution do not apply to residents of Puerto Rico until they come to reside in the United States proper. Luis Muñoz Rivera, who participated in the creation of the Jones-Shafroth Act, gave a speech in the U.S. House floor that argued in favor of Puerto Rican citizenship. He declared that "if the earth were to swallow the island, Puerto Ricans would prefer American citizenship to any citizenship in the world. But as long as the island existed, the residents preferred Puerto Rican citizenship."[16] The Jones Act allowed locals to renounce the United States citizenship and remain exclusively Puerto Rican citizens, at the cost of being stripped of the right to vote.[17] Despite these arbitrary limitations, 287 residents completed the process to forfeit the statutory recognition.[17]
In 1952, upon U.S. Congress approving the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, also reaffirmed that Puerto Rican citizenship continued in full force. This was further reaffirmed in 2006 while the U.S. Senate probed into the President's Task Force on Puerto Rico's status.[18] In 1953, U.S Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., in a memorandum sent to the United Nations, recognized that "the people of Puerto Rico continue to be citizens of the United States as well as of Puerto Rico."[19]
Puerto Rican citizenship reaffirmed[edit]
In 1994, Puerto Rican activist Juan Mari Brás flew to Venezuela and renounced his US citizenship before a consular agent in the US Embassy.[20] Mari Brás through his renunciation of U.S. citizenship, sought to redefine Section VII as a source of law that recognized a Puerto Rican nationality separate from that of the United States.[21] In December 1995, his denaturalization was confirmed by the US State Department. Among the arguments that ensued over his action was whether he would now be able to vote in elections in Puerto Rico. On November 18, 1997, the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico through its ruling in Miriam J. Ramirez de Ferrer v. Juan Mari Brás reaffirmed the Puerto Rican citizenship by ruling that U.S. citizenship was not a requirement to vote in Puerto Rico.[3] According to the court's majority opinion, the Puerto Rican citizenship is recognized several times in the Puerto Rican constitution including section 5 of article III, section 3 of article IV, and section 9 of article V.[3] In a 2006 memorandum, the Secretary of Justice of Puerto Rico concluded, based on the Mari Brás case, that the Puerto Rican citizenship is "separate and different" from the United States citizenship.[19]
The Puerto Rico Supreme Court decision affirms that persons born in Puerto Rico and persons subject to their jurisdiction are citizens of Puerto Rico under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Constitution. The Court cited as part of the applicable jurisdiction to decide this case, United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875) pp 549, the U.S. Supreme Court affirm: There is in our political system a government of each of the several States, and a Government of the United States. Each is distinct from the others, and has citizens of its own who owe it allegiance, and whose rights, within its jurisdiction, it must protect. The same person may be at the same time a citizen of the United States and a citizen of a State, but his rights of citizenship under one of those governments will be different from those he has under the other.[22]
Also the Puerto Rico Supreme Court cited U.S. Supreme Court case Snowden v. Hughes, 321 U.S. 1, 7 (1943) that affirm: The protection extended to citizens of the United States by the privileges and immunities clause includes those rights and privileges which, under the laws and Constitution of the United States, are incident to citizenship of the United States, but does not include rights pertaining to state citizenship and derived solely from the relationship of the citizen and his state established by state law. The right to become a candidate for state office, like the right to vote for the election of state officers, is a right or privilege of state citizenship, not of national citizenship, which alone is protected by the privileges and immunities clause.[23]
Finally, the Puerto Rico Supreme Court affirms that Puerto Rican citizenship identifies the persons that have it as integral members of the Puerto Rican community. This is the integral juridical tie between the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and their citizens.[3] The court stated that "Puerto Rican political community is defined better by the citizenship of Puerto Rico than by US citizenship. That is a fact not subject to historical rectifications and a reality which no law can change."[20]
However, Governor Pedro Rosselló on November 17, 1997 signed Law 132 which amends Puerto Rico's Political Code and literally states that "Toda persona que posea la nacionalidad y sea ciudadano de los Estados Unidos y residente dentro de la jurisdicción del territorio de Puerto Rico será ciudadano de Puerto Rico.", or "Every person who posseses the nationality and is a citizen of the United States and resides within the jurisdiction of the territory of Puerto Rico shall be a citizen of Puerto Rico". This law supersedes all previous laws and Supreme Court opinions drafted prior to the law's enactment. It must be noted that while the most recent court opinion was issued the day after Law 132 was enacted, it was drafted prior to, and makes no reference to, Law 132.[24]
Since the summer of 2007, the Puerto Rico State Department has developed a protocol to grant Puerto Rican citizenship certificates to Puerto Ricans.[25] Certificates of Puerto Rican citizenship are issued to any persons born on the island as well as to those born outside of the island that have at least one parent who was born on the island.[26][27] Any U.S. citizen with at least one year of residence on the island is also eligible for the official citizenship certificate. The certificate is not a valid travel document. From 2009 to 2013, Secretary of State Kenneth McClintock, the author of Law 132-2007, did not sign any Puerto Rican citizenship certificates.[citation needed]
Judicial review[edit]
In the case of Colon v. U.S. Department of State, 2 F.Supp.2d 43 (1998), plaintiff was a United States citizen born in Puerto Rico and resident of Puerto Rico, who executed an oath of renunciation before a consular officer at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. In rejecting Plaintiff's renunciation, the Department notes that Plaintiff demonstrated no intention of renouncing all ties to the United States. While Plaintiff claims to reject his United States citizenship, he nevertheless wants to remain a resident of Puerto Rico. Plaintiff's response to the Secretary's position is to claim a fundamental distinction between United States and Puerto Rican citizenship. The U.S. Department of State position asserts that renunciation of U.S. citizenship must entail renunciation of Puerto Rican citizenship as well. The court does decide to not enter to the merits of the citizenship issue; however the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejected Colon's petition for a writ of mandamus directing the Secretary of State to approve a Certificate of Loss of Nationality in the case because the plaintiff wanted to retain one of the primary benefits of U.S. citizenship while claiming he was not a U.S. citizen. The Court described the plaintiff as a person, "claiming to renounce all rights and privileges of United States citizenship, [while] Plaintiff wants to continue to exercise one of the fundamental rights of citizenship, namely to travel freely throughout the world and when he wants to, return and reside in the United States. The court based this decision on the Immigration and Nationality Act section 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(38), that provide the term "United States" definition and evince that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States for such purposes.[28][29][30]
Based on the federal court ruling on Colon v. U.S. Department of State, months after the U.S. State Department accepted his renunciation, the president of the Puerto Rico Socialist Party, Juan Mari Bras, was notified on June 4, 1998, by the U.S Department of State, that they were rescinding their acceptance, and refused to accept Juan Mari Bras renunciation, determining that Mari Brás could not renounce his American citizenship because he did not request another national citizenship, and he was born and remains living and working in Puerto Rico. This, said the federal agency, makes Mari Brás a U.S. citizen, the only national citizenship that Washington recognizes for Puerto Ricans.[31][32]
International recognition[edit]
The certificate is recognized as a legitimate document by the Spanish government.[33] Based on the Spanish Civil Code's Organic Law 4/2000 (enacted January 11, 2000 and amended by Royal Decree on April 20, 2011) which covers the awarding of the Spanish citizenship to foreigners, those that possess the document are considered Ibero-American nationals.[33] On June 25, 2007, the General Directory of Registry and Notary Affairs of the Ministry of Justice the passed RDGRN 25-06-2007, which recognized Puerto Rico as an Ibero-American country as far as the Spanish Civil Code is concerned.[33] To further confirm this stance, the Ministry of Justice has included Puerto Rico in their list of Ibero-American countries eligible to acquire the Spanish citizenship with priority, while also excluding the Caribbean countries of Jamaica, Haiti, Guyana, and Trinidad & Tobago.[33] The certificate of Puerto Rican citizenship is the foremost requisite to qualify under these circumstances.[33] The other requisite is at least two years of continuous residence in Spanish soil.[33] Puerto Ricans that only possess the United States citizenship are not considered residents of an Iberoamerican country and do not receive priority, requiring instead ten years of continuous residence.[33] In legal terms, Puerto Ricans that acquire the Spanish citizenship with the use of the certificate would possess four citizenships recognized in Europe: those of Puerto Rico, the United States, Spain and the European Union (automatically granted along that of Spain).[33] On September 23, 2013, Representative Manuel Natal Albelo presented a bill that would render official the international recognition of the Puerto Rican citizenship through the Secretary of State, pursuing more rights within the international community.[34]
