Performing Arts and Cinema Demand: Some Evidence of Linder's Disease
This study presents some results for performing arts demand in Norway, obtained by means of a complete demand system with performing arts (dance, theatre and concert performances) and cinema as two of several cultural / media goods. The calculations are carried out on the basis of consumer survey data for more than 21,600 households from the period 1986 –2002. The results provide a fairly firm basis for concluding that the demand for performing arts in Norway is income elastic while cinema is income inelastic. However, since both are time-intensive in consumption, they are subject to Linder´s disease which is due to a shadow value of leisure increasing with income. This implies a negative bias in the income elasticity as estimated by us. Our calculations suggest that the bias has become bigger in the period analyzed, i.e. that Linder's disease has become more serious for both performing arts and cinema over time. The results for other cultural / media goods support this finding. The results do also indicate that the demand for both the performing arts and cinema is price inelastic, and that they generally are substitutes to each other as well as to other cultural / media goods. One notable exception is performing arts and audio-visual media which, according to our findings, seem to be complements suggesting that decreases in the prices of AV media stimulate the demand for performing arts.

Issues With Replicating Results in Sports Economics
This article illustrates the difficulty of replicating results in the area of sports economics. This article gives three different examples that seem straightforward, but are actually quite difficult to replicate. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that the discrepancies are not due to human error. It is argued that the differences in results are due to differences in computing power over time, differences in statistical programs, or slight differences in available data. This gives evidence that researchers should be somewhat skeptical of any single empirical study.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 25
Adjacent Routes
Climb the left wall to the break. Traverse round the arete on jams where a powerful move gains the arete - then sprint. Low in the grade but intense for a moment or two. A good but bold Direct Start, E3 5c, laybacks the unprotected lower arete.
Very pleasant, the traverse onto the face and standing up aren't too bad and the finish feels airy but not scary
Pleasant indeed - packs some good climbing into the finish. Traverse around is surprisingly grunty, from there the contrasting balance moves are, as the man says, airy but not scary.
Unsung gem. Until the BMC guide came out and banged on about it, rightly.

Help please !!!! Breastfeeding issue
Hi my son is 7 months and. Had been doing both breastfeeding and bottle formula had no problem up until about a week ago he seems to not want the breast anymore. I put him on and he fidgets a lot not into it then he makes his point clear by. Butting me and my left breast forget about it he has always rebelled about that breast have to trick him to take it help what would you do
Re: Help please !!!! Breastfeeding issue
Do you have to give him bottles? If you can avoid it I'd just offer the breast. He's at the distractible age and probably teething. Try to nurse in a dimmer, quiet room and just offer offer offer. At the most this is a temp. nursing strike; babies that age rarely self wean. If he refuses completely then just use bottles until he'll take the breast again, but after EPing for so long I'm hesitant to use bottles personally.
Re: Help please !!!! Breastfeeding issue
It is very common for a baby who takes a bottle to prefer it, especially the longer they have it. I would stop the bottle and get an SNS system to help stimulate your breasts to make more and try to get him wanting the boob again.

text: Blindspot (Distance remix) CLIP by Submotion Orchestra published on 2012-08-10T16:41:42Z Submotion Orchestra • Single: 'Blind Spot' out August 13th on Exceptional Blue records: Remixes from Distance, Opal Block & Maribou State: The remixes will be released on the 3rd September 2012 • UK headline tour this October "Sizzles with late night city thrills" The Times "Cinematic" Dazed and Confused "They whipped up a stormcloud of hysteria" DJ "One of the standout acts in the bass community" Hyponik "Winning fans all over the place" RWD "Taking bass weight and re-introducing something tender" Clash On August 13th London/Leeds-based seven piece Submotion Orchestra present Blind Spot - the second single taken from their eagerly-anticipated second album Fragments. Last year Submotion Orchestra released their debut LP Finest Hour. It lead to widespread media praise, an army of fervent fans, rapturous festival shows worldwide and sold-out headline gigs, including London's Scala. Blind Spot signals big things for Submotion Orchestra's next chapter. Following the stylistic dancefloor shift of last single It's Not Me It's You, this new single swings the pendulum back to the lush and expansive sound that made the band's name. It takes what was already a sweepingly cinematic blueprint and goes one step bigger and better, both musically and sonically. The contrast between this track and It's Not Me It's You also highlights how the band have grown from their deubt: Fragments moves coherently between more styles than before, marking a broader palate of influences seeping into their output. A curious blend of melancholy and subtly rising euphoria, Blind Spot fuses the band's previous smoky and at times dense sound with a brighter, more pristine and summery optimism. It simultaneously maintains their signature mix of big bass, drums, piano/synth, strings, brass and Ruby's sumptuous vocals - all finding their perfectly-audible place in the mix. "There are things that should both satisfy fans of the first album, and surprise them too," says Submotion keyboardist Taz Modi of Fragments.

When generally talking about the foods and drinks of Central America, I often find that there's a misnomer. While you'll no doubt find tacos, margaritas, and chips and salsa, this isn't the traditional food and drinks of Central American countries like Costa Rica. While many of the best Mexican foods can be found in other countries, the same can't be said for Central America cuisine. Nonetheless, that's what makes it so unique – the fact that you can get it in Central America countries, but rarely elsewhere. In my never-ending quest to eat and drink my way around the world, today I spotlight the drinks (Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) of Costa Rica.
1. Guaro. "WHAT is that?" That's likely your response not only while reading this, but also after taking a swig of guaro. But did you know that guaro is the official liquor of Costa Rica? While the term is generally translated as "liquor", in Costa Rica it refers to the clear sugar cane liquor that is manufactured by Cacique Guaro. But sweet as it may be, it's more like a kick in the mouth of sweetness, as it packs a punch. A shot of guaro is typically served with a large slice of lime. However, it can also be served as a cocktail, typically as a Cacique Guaro Sour, which includes a couple ounces of lime juice with a couple shots of guaro. For me, it was often my last drink of the night, though typically unplanned, as it usually consisted of me asking for my bill and the bartender or Ticos I was talking with urging me to stay around for one last drink.
2. Ron Centenario. Most people typically think Caribbean islands when they think about rum. And while Costa Rica isn't an island, the eastern side of the country touches the Caribbean Sea. As you may imagine then, you'll find a lot of rum in Costa Rica. While you'll find a wide range of rums in Costa Rica bars, many of them are manufactured elsewhere, except for Ron Centenario. An older bottle of Ron Centenario, such as 9-year and above, you may just have by itself. However, you won't find this in most bars and can simply mix it with your favorite juice or soda.
3. Flor de Caña. While Flor de Caña isn't actually manufactured in Costa Rica, I had to mention it since it's what turned me on to Central American rum. In reality, I'm not even a big liquor drinker. I'll have a margarita at the local tacqueria and have developed a taste for Firefly sweet tea vodka, but by in large, have never felt a connection to liquor. That is, until I had a drink of Flor de Caña. Manufactured in Nicaragua, it became my drink of choice in Costa Rica, especially at happy hour when it was just $3 a glass. I typically alternated between a rum and orange juice and rum and coke. I've even found it in many bars in the San Francisco Bay Area and order it every time I see it. You could buy bottles of it for $7 at the Costa Rica/Nicaragua border when I was there last winter.
4. Pilsners. This refers to the numerous pilsner beers you'll find in just about every bar in Costa Rica. While Imperial is the most widely recognized pilsner in Costa Rica, other notable beers that can be found in most bars include Bavaria and Pilsen. While I typically drank Imperial, I didn't notice a stark difference between the three main beers. Toña is another recognizable beer since it's manufactured in Nicaragua. This is a good break from Costa Rica's bottled beers, since Toña is often found in cans. That and it's incredibly cheap, as the first time I bought a can of Toña it was only $1.
5. Refrescos. I had to include at least one Costa Rica beverage that wasn't alcoholic. Refrescos are just as they sound, refreshing drinks for the warm days in Costa Rica. A refresco is little more than fresh fruit mixed with water or milk. Some of the more common fruits include mangos, strawberries, pineapple, papaya, and blackberries. I would sometimes see people wheeling carts up and down the beaches selling these. It's Costa Rica's version of a fruit smoothie. If you're concerned about where the water may come from, then ask for a milk refresco.
What drinks has made the most impression on you from your travels?

yeah man...I feel like we are due. I say that every year
It just seems in like the past couple of weeks the storm systems that have come through have been massive...hopefully it will kick up some massive swell come this season.

well for us south eastern guys since we had snow when we usually never see it unless in the mountains i think that this year for hurricanes might be killer after the winter we just had.
I'm crossing my fingers that one parks out front about 300 miles for a month this summer.

Hurrican season is so overhyped by the surf media. I can count the number of memorable hurricane swells on one hand. I can't begin to keep count of the number of memorable nor'easter swells.

As (seemingly premature) reports emerged that Greek PM George Papandreou's resignation was imminent, the head of state announced that a planned referendum on the Euro bailout has been called off:
"The referendum was never an end in itself," Papandreou said. "We had a dilemma – either true assent or a referendum. I said yesterday, if the assent were there, we would not need a referendum."
Anyone follow that?

Struggles of an artist
There are many things I cannot bring myself to understand in the world and as such leaves a hollow emptiness. No-one is happy all the time anyway, it's exhausting! As my source of contentness, I turn to Art. I'am trying to develop my further understanding of techniques, explore different mediums and try to create permutations to capture imaginations and hopefully inspire others as they have inspired me.

The Heritage Classic may have been the catalyst in Roberto Luongo's move out of Vancouver, according to his agent Pat Brisson.
Luongo, long the subject of trade rumours, was benched in favour of Eddie Lack on Sunday against the Ottawa Senators, and Brisson said he was then given the green light to explore other options for his client.
Brisson joined Hockey Night in Canada Radio on Sirius XM hosts Rob Pizzo and David Amber Wednesday to talk about what fuelled Luongo's trade to the Florida Panthers.
Rob Pizzo and co-hosts Elliotte Friedman, Kelly Hrudey, Craig Simpson, Tim Wharnbsy and Cassie Campbell-Pascall discuss the game of hockey in an entertaining way on Hockey Night in Canada Radio, the flagship of NHL Network radio on SiriusXM. Weekdays from 3-5pm ET on Sirius 207 and XM 211.

The performance of an apomictic strain of Kentucky bluegrass under eight fertility levels was studied during 1966 and 1967 under greenhouse conditions. Fertilizers were applied as nutrient solutions. Treatments included two nitrogen (65 and 130 ppm) and four potassium (0, 100, 200, and 400 ppm) levels in all factorial combinations. Clipping weights, weights of underground plant parts (roots and rhizomes) and tops, vigor scores, tiller counts, blade widths, and rhizome lengths were taken as measures of growth. Amounts of N, P, K, and C in leaf tissue were determined by chemical analysis.
All growth measurements, except rhizome lengths under 130 ppm N, were increased by potassium when compared to the 0-ppm K level. However, levels of K above 100 ppm were often detrimental under 65 ppm N and sometimes had little effect with 130 ppm N.
N content of leaf tissue was increased by 130 ppm N while levels of K exceeding 100 ppm appeared to cause a slight, although significant decrease under both N rates. N and K had no significant effect on P content of leaf tissue. Added K increased the amount of K in leaf tissue up to the 200 ppm level. High nitrogen increased the K content significantly, but the increase was less than 0.2%.
The balance between N and K appeared to effect growth responses. With 65 ppm N, 100 ppm K had the greatest effect on increasing growth measurements. With 130 ppm N, the balance requirement was less critical but the 200 ppm level gave the greatest growth measurement increases. The 400 ppm K level generally resulted in reduced growth regardless of N levels.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Controversial BART to Airport Being Built Anyway
In a story reported here on Planetizen, a handful of advocacy groups filed a complaint to the FTA alleging that BART had failed to conduct an "equity analysis" to determine if the benefits of the airport connector project would be shared fairly by minority, limted English proficiency, and low-income communities. Despite the FTA's rebuke, BART is pressing forward with the project.
BART Director Tom Radulovich is a naysayer on the board. Speaking to Streetsblog, he said, "Has Title VI changed the way BART does business? As far as we can tell the answer is no. It means we have more meetings, meetings where we don't listen to people. Nothing about this process is likely to change thanks to Title VI."

Local Anesthesia
Novocain is the name for one of the first local anesthetics developed, and has become the universal name for all locals. There are now many products which produce rapid, complete, and safe local anesthesia. They may contain a small amount of epinephrine (synthetic adrenaline). Epinephrine constricts the blood vessels to reduce the blood flow in the area, so that less anesthetic solution may be used and still produce profound anesthesia for a longer period.
Since an anesthetic with epinephrine produces deeper, longer lasting anesthesia, it also reduces the patient's anxiety. Since anxiety induces the body to secrete its own adrenaline, nothing is gained by avoiding epinephrine. On the contrary, if the anesthetic wears off too soon and pain is experienced, more natural adrenaline will be pumped into the bloodstream than the small amount contained in the anesthetic solution. Check with your physician so that he/she can work with your dentist if you have any concerns.

Supreme Court to Rule on Katsav's Appeal Against Rape Conviction
Some of Katsav's close friends say it is possible the court will accept part of his appeal and acquit the former president of the two rape convictions.
On Thursday morning at 9 A.M. Supreme Court justices Miriam Naor, Edna Arbel and Salim Joubran will enter the courtroom and read a summary of their decision on former president Moshe Katsav's appeal of his conviction for rape and other sex offenses. Katsav was sentenced to seven years in prison. He will appear in court accompanied by family members.
Some of Katsav's close friends said Wednesday evening that it is possible the court will accept part of his appeal and acquit the former president of the two rape convictions, and will also lighten his prison sentence accordingly.
If the seven-year sentence is upheld, or even if it is lessened, Katsav will be required to report for prison within a few days. But it is likely his lawyers will ask to delay his entry into prison, at least for a few more days; and the justices will be required to decide.
Katsav was convicted unanimously by a three-judge tribunal of the Tel Aviv District Court in December 2010 on a number of counts of sex offenses: The former president was convicted of raping and sexually assaulting A., a former employee at the Tourism Ministry while Katsav was tourism minister. He was also convicted of sexually harassing H. from the President's Residence; of sexually abusing and harassing L. from the President's Residence and of obstruction of justice.
Judges George Karra, Judith Shevach and Miriam Sokolov sentenced Katsav to seven years in prison in March of this year. The court also ruled that Katsav must also serve two years of probation and pay NIS 100,000 to his rape victim, the former Tourism Ministry employee known as A., and to pay NIS 25,000 to L., who he had sexually harassed and abused.
The year-long trial took place almost entirely behind closed doors and left the public wondering whether the 65-year-old Katsav was wise to drop out of a plea bargain two years ago. The plea deal meant Katsav would not face the most serious charges of rape and promised him a suspended sentence at worse, but the former president decided to fight for his innocence in court.
The judges said Katsav's version of the events was "riddled with lies," and he changed his claims time after time. But the judges disagreed over the sentencing. Karra and Sokolov ruled in favor of the seven-year prison term, but Shevach was in the minority with her recommendation of only four years behind bars. The public, media and legal authorities had already tried Katsav before the trial, she said in justifying a lighter sentence.
"The crime of rape damages and destroys a person's soul ... Due to the severity of the crime, the punishment must be clear and precise," the judges ruled. "The defendant committed the crime and like every other person, he must bear the consequences.
"No man is above the law. The contention that seeing a former president of the country go to jail is too painful to watch is an emotional argument, but it definitely cannot be accepted as an ethical argument," wrote the judges in convicting Katsav.
Katsav's attorneys appealed the conviction to the Supreme Court in May, claiming the District Court had ignored the possibility that Katsav and A. had conducted consensual sexual relations - and not rape. But during questioning by police and in his testimony during the trial, Katsav repeatedly denied that he had had any sexual relations with the complainant.
The Supreme Court panel heard the case in three days of hearings in mid-August. Before that, Supreme Court Justice Yoram Danziger decided to delay Katsav's imprisonment until the court's ruling on the appeal.

Provides: Bluetooth audio transfer to 30-pin speaker dock
Developer: Radtech
Requirements: Bluetooth compatible device, 30-pin speaker dock
Price: $39.95
Hello there, and welcome to the WaveJamr review. As mentioned in the ProCable and AutoPower reviews, we'll be going over the WaveJamr performance as well as the combination of the three products.
Let's go over the WaveJamr by itself first. The unit is a tidy 1-5/8" x 1-1/4" x 5/16" and connects to the 30-pin iDevice port. WaveJamr is a lovely shade of sky blue, but I doubt it helps the performance. When the unit is connected and powered there is an LED in the upper right corner which will blink every three seconds to you let you know it's still on the job. The Bluetooth range is 30 feet, which will not only get you across most of the house but all the way across your car (unless it's a limo by J. Clarkson).
As a Bluetooth receiver the unit worked just fine in my tests. I used the WaveJamr in my car as well as on a couple of speaker/docking devices and didn't encounter any real problems. The only thing you may want to watch out for is the fit. The port has a pretty snug fit and you may need to do some wiggling to get the unit to make a proper connection (hooray for the little blue LED letting you know when you got it right).
Now let's get to the car set up with its sister parts from Radtech. Plug the AutoPower into the 12V port in your car. Plug the USB connector on the ProCable into the AutoPower adapter. Plug the iDevice connector on the ProCable into your WaveJamr. Lastly, plug the 1/8" stereo jack on the ProCable into the 1/8" auxiliary input on your car stereo, and "Hey, presto!"—your car stereo is now a Bluetooth enabled device through which you can play all the tunes on your iDevice.
It may sound like a lot if jiggery-pokery, and the three bits of hardware will come to $69.85, but this isn't nearly as much as buying a new car. Okay, so maybe you would only really need to get a new car stereo, but this set up is still much less expensive…provided your car stereo has an auxiliary line-in.
When the WaveJamr is used with the ProCable/AutoPower setup, there is noticeable signal attenuation. The drop in volume is not catastrophic, just noticeable, and it is part of the three cable setup so there is basically no getting around it.
The WaveJamr provides a very portable and affordable means to turn your music stations into wireless audio. The design is simple and pretty foolproof—no complaints with this bit of kit.

Cuomo is a POS.
Via Mediaite:
On CNN's New Day Thursday morning, anchor Chris Cuomo praised MSNBC's Martin Bashirfor his apology to Sarah Palin, and slightly defended the editorial decision to make the initial remarks as part of a more "rhetorical" point about slavery.
Mediaite columnist Joe Concha appeared as a guest, wondering aloud why Bashir hadn't been suspended for on-air remarks like his colleague Alec Baldwin was for an off-air profanity-laced tirade.
"But let's get some context here," Cuomo pushed back. In return, Concha noted that it took Bashir three days to apologize.
"Okay, let's talk about why did it take three days," Cuomo asked. "That goes to what was the intention that Bashir had when he said this. Having read the full transcript of what it was, it seemed to have been a fairly well-developed reference to the history of slavery and how terrible it is and this was what was done to slaves; and if you want to use slavery, you should know what slavery was, and this is what should be done to you."
"But he didn't have to go that far," Concha responded.
"And then it became just the last part of what he was saying should happen to her, which was this horrible thing that was done to slaves," Cuomo noted. "Do you think Martin Bashir was trying to be viciously, savagely hurtful to Sarah Palin?"
"You don't think he was trying to make a bigger rhetorical point and that this was just a mistake of how to do it?" the CNN host asked. Concha did not agree, suggesting the MSNBC host was simply "trying to get attention."

Do check out the CES 2011 Show Coverage Reports by the SECRETS Team: Robert Kozel, Jim Milton, Adrian Wittenberg, Stephen Hornbrook and John Johnson. Robert's summary of CES 2011 reflects the teams……
"What struck me the most about CES was the sheer magnitude of it all. I have been to Las Vegas many times for conventions in the past, but nothing compared to CES 2011. The enormous international crowds combined with thousands of exhibitors and locations spread throughout the city made it an event I will not soon forget. From the perspective of products, CES is overwhelming with its diversity. There were exhibitors covering home electronics, phones, appliances, automotive, computer hardware, networking, etc. The list was endless and it would be impossible for anyone to take all of it in. The crowd at CES was not just spending time looking at new products. There were countless people with "Buyer" tags on their show badges talking to exhibitors and discussing business. If the crowds were any indication, this should be a good year for the economy. Time will tell if all those conversations ultimately turn into real orders.
From the video perspective, it was all about 3D. The HDTVs were larger, thinner and better looking than ever and they all offered 3D. If you are in the market for a new HDTV, then you have lots of great options to choose from. If you already have an HDTV, then it is probably unlikely that you will run out and discard your investment just for the 3D experience in your living room. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, the industry is all about 3D right now and the manufacturers and Hollywood are spending countless millions to get our attention and our money. It will ultimately be up to the consumer to decide.
From the audio perspective, I was impressed to see the speaker innovation. Manufacturers like Paradigm, GoldenEar Technology, Atlantic Technology, Martin Logan and PSB Speakers were showing off a wide range of speaker technology and systems that continue to enhance how we listen to music. It was great to see companies like McIntosh and Paradigm introducing more reasonably priced audio products so a younger audience can start appreciating high fidelity. I also enjoyed seeing all the Apple iPod and iPad devices being used in many of the demonstrations as control devices for the audio equipment.
I really enjoyed my first CES and I hope you liked the coverage."
Just what we needed to Leave Las Vegas!!!

In years past, the atmosphere and activities of the old-style "iron" gyms was never seen as very suitable for children and adolescents. Heavy equipment clanging about, the specter of steroid use, and large and often noisy men seemed a long way from the junior baseball diamond or basketball court.

How things have changed. Weight training as a physical activity has undergone a revolution with new, well-equipped and comfortable gyms populated by the full spectrum of the adult training community and, for the most part, well-qualified training staff.

Pediatricians and fitness trainers specializing in children and adolescents now see how safe and beneficial it is to introduce young people to supervised, progressive weight training. In fact, in a recent review of injuries in physical education classes, nearly 70 percent of the injuries occurred during six activities: running, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.

Professional Views on Weight Training for Children

The following articles provide background to the current professional view of weight training for children and adolescents.

Weight Training for Children and Adolescents

How Children Can Benefit from Weight Training

Preparing for an Workout Program for Adolescents

Before a young teen starts a formal weight training program, an evaluation by a pediatrician or sports medicine doctor is recommended. A qualified trainer with some experience in training teens should supervise participants at all times, especially for groups that are likely to lose concentration. Good form and progression of loads over time and fitness is essential with any novice weight trainer, but especially with young, developing and immature bodies. Supervision for this age group is very important.

When choosing a place to workout, look for a well-equipped gym with equipment that is adjustable for the light loads required for the less-robust adolescents of this age. If a gym isn't an option, light dumbbells or bodyweight exercises can be substituted for the machine equipment and barbells referenced below.

A Sample Adolescent Weight Training Program

Below is a typical gym weight training workout suitable for adolescents in the 12 to 15 year-old age group, and for both girls and boys.

All exercises are 2 sets and 10 repetitions

Warmup: Warming up is essential in a weight training program no matter your age. The warmup should be 10 to 15 minutes in length to get the blood circulating into the muscles, preparing them for the strain they will be under during the workout. This helps minimize the risk of injury, such as muscle tearing, but it also improve performance during exercise overall. This same advice applies to participating in sporting events.

A good warmup is aerobics, 10 to 15 minutes, followed by a few form lifts with no weight load before each loaded exercise. This will help the body and mind to become acquainted to the proper form of each exercise that is critical to safety and effectiveness.

Barbell squats - 2 sets, 10 repetitions

Incline dumbbell press

Seated cable row

Dumbbell arm curl

Cable triceps pushdown

Barbell deadlift

Standard crunch

Barbell, dumbbell or EZ bar bent-over row

Cable pulldown

Cool down: A good cool down with light stretching, 5 to 10 minutes, is also important to development of fitness.

See exercise instruction details in the Exercise Gallery.

Destination Description
Read the Department of State's Fact Sheet on Saudi Arabia for information on U.S. – Saudi Arabia relations
Entry, Exit & Visa Requirements
See the Embassy of Saudi Arabia's website for visa information.
Saudi Requirements:
- Final exit or exit/reentry visas are required to leave Saudi Arabia.
- You will not be allowed to leave the country without a visa, even if you are an American citizen.
Further information can be found on the website of the U.S. Mission in Saudi Arabia.
Do not enter the country on a Saudi Laissez Passer (temporary travel document), or you may encounter difficulty leaving the Kingdom. We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens enter Saudi Arabia on a Saudi passport or a U.S. passport and Saudi visa, but not a Laissez Passer.
To facilitate travel into the Kingdom, Saudi embassies sometimes issue a Laissez Passer for presumed Saudi citizens, such as children of a Saudi parent or parents who were married outside of Saudi Arabia; however, the traveler must then obtain a Saudi passport before leaving.
Saudi nationality is not conferred quickly or easily, and the processing time for a Saudi passport in these cases has often been six months or more. Obtaining a U.S. passport at the Embassy will not help, as you will not be able to leave Saudi Arabia without a visa.
Saudi Arabia does not recognize dual nationality. At times, Saudi authorities have confiscated the U.S. passports of U.S-Saudi dual nationals applying for Saudi citizenship. If this happens to you or someone you know, report the incident to the U.S. Embassy. This does not constitute loss of U.S. citizenship.
Length of Stay: If you overstay your visa, you face fines, detention, and/or deportation.
Upon arrival, confirm your permitted length of stay with Saudi immigration authorities. Dates are calculated in accordance with the Hijri calendar, which is significantly different from the Gregorian calendar. Resolving such errors can take several weeks.
The U.S. Embassy is unable to intercede, reduce fines, or prevent incarceration if you violate Saudi law.
Travel Bans: When placed under a travel ban, you cannot exit the country, even if you are a U.S. citizen. Travel bans are rigidly enforced and can take months or even years to resolve. Only Saudi Arabian authorities and sponsors can remove travel bans.
The government may issue travel bans on people who are:
- charged with criminal offenses
- under investigation
- involved in financial or labor disputes/have unpaid debts
Private citizens may also initiate travel bans against other private citizens for various reasons.
Yemen Travel: We strongly advise U.S. citizens against travel to Yemen. For U.S. citizens departing Yemen we strongly discourage departing via the Yemen-Saudi Arabia border because it can be dangerous and U.S. citizens who attempt to do so are routinely detained or turned away by Saudi authorities. See our Yemen Crisis webpage for further information.
Residency Permits: If you are seeking residency in Saudi Arabia, make sure you have all required legal documents authenticated before arriving. The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh cannot provide this service.
You should have all U.S. issued documents authenticated by the Department of State Office of Authentications (202-485-8000), and attested by the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington D.C.
Work Visas: If you plan on working in Saudi Arabia, you must obtain a work visa before you arrive. If you work on another visa type, you risk financial penalties and deportation.
HIV/AIDS: To obtain work and residence permits, you are required to obtain a medical report or physical examination confirming that you are free from contagious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis. If you test positive for HIV/AIDS, you will not be allowed to work in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia has not imposed HIV/AIDS travel restrictions on other categories of travelers. Please inquire directly with the Embassy of Saudi Arabia before you travel.
Vaccinations: Visitors to Saudi Arabia should check vaccination requirements at the Saudi Ministry of Health website.
Find information on dual nationality, prevention of international parental child abduction, and customs regulations on our website.
Safety and Security
The Department of State urges you to carefully consider the risks of traveling to Saudi Arabia. See the travel warning here. There continue to be reports of threats against U.S. citizens and other Westerners, as well as locations frequented by them. ISIL and AQAP continue to encourage individual acts of terrorism in the Kingdom.
Furthermore, continuing violence in neighboring countries such as Yemen has a potential to spill over into Saudi Arabia.
U.S. government personnel are restricted from traveling within 50 miles of the border with Yemen, which includes the cities of Jizan and Najran, without permission from Embassy security officials. U.S. government personnel are similarly restricted from traveling to the city of Qatif in the Eastern Province and its surrounding suburbs, including Awamiyah, and to the town of Hofuf and its surrounding suburbs in the Al Hasa Governorate due to violent episodes that have occurred there in the past. Please take this into consideration when planning your travels within Saudi Arabia.
You can find additional details relating to safety and security in our travel warning and the website of the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh.
Crime: Crime in Saudi Arabia has increased over recent years, but remains at levels far below most major metropolitan areas in the United States.
- You should be aware of your surroundings, keep valuables out of sight and secure, and travel with a companion, if possible.
- Saudi citizens who perceive that a foreigner is not observing conservative standards of conduct or dress have been known to harass, pursue, or assault that person.
- Saudi Arabian police have detained potential witnesses to crimes without charges or access to legal counsel.
- Saudi authorities have temporarily confiscated the personal effects of detained potential witnesses.
- Even when released from detention, witnesses to criminal incidents may be prohibited from leaving the country until investigation of the incident is complete.
See the websites of the Department of State and the FBI for information on scams.
Victims of Crime: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime, you should contact the local police at "999" and contact the Embassy or one of our two Consulates in Dhahran or Jeddah.
Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the crime.
See our webpage on help for U.S. victims of crime overseas.
We can:
- help you find appropriate medical care.
- assist you in reporting a crime to the police.
- contact relatives or friends with your written consent.
- explain the local criminal justice process in general terms.
- provide a list of local attorneys.
- provide our information on victim's compensation programs in the U.S.
- provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution.
- help you find accommodation and arrange flights home.
- replace a stolen or lost passport.
Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence may contact the Embassy or Consulates for assistance.
For Further Information:
- Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security messages and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.

Local Laws & Special Circumstances
Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, imprisoned, subject to physical punishments, or even executed. Penalties for the import, manufacture, possession, and consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs in Saudi Arabia are severe. Convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences, heavy fines, public floggings, and/or deportation. The penalty for drug trafficking is death.
Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.
Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy or Consulate immediately. In the case of dual nationals, the Saudi Government may recognize only the nationality of the document used to enter the Kingdom. Suspects may be detained without charges or legal counsel, and with limited access to a consular officer, for months during the investigative stage of criminal cases. See our webpage for further information.
Faith-Based Travelers: Islam is the official religion of the country and pervades all aspects of life in Saudi Arabia.
- Saudi authorities do not permit criticism of Islam, religious figures, or the royal family.
- The government prohibits the public practice of religions other than Islam. Non-Muslims suspected of violating these restrictions have been jailed. Church services in private homes have been raided, and participants have been jailed.
- Muslims who do not adhere to the strict interpretations of Islam prevalent in much of Saudi Arabia frequently encounter societal discrimination and constraints on worship.
- Public display of non-Islamic religious articles, such as crosses and Bibles, is not permitted.
- Non-Muslims are forbidden to travel to Makkah (Mecca) and Medina, the cities where two of Islam's holiest mosques are located.
LGBTI Travelers: Same-sex sexual relations, even when they are consensual, are criminalized in Saudi Arabia. Violations of Saudi laws governing perceived expressions of, or support for, same sex sexual relations, including on social media, may be subject to severe punishment. Potential penalties include fines, jail time, or death. See our LGBTI Travel Information page and section 6 of the Department of State's Human Rights report for further details.
Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance: Individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what is generally found in the United States. The Basic Law does not prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and there is no legislation requiring public accessibility. Newer commercial and government buildings, however, often include such access. According to the Ministry of Social Affairs, there are numerous government-sponsored centers for people with disabilities. Note that Saudi Arabia has extremely limited infrastructure to care for those with mental disabilities.
Students: See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips.
Women Residents and Travelers: Women must be met by their sponsor upon arrival according to Saudi Arabia's regulations. Women who are traveling alone and are not met by sponsors have experienced delays before being allowed to enter the country or to continue on other flights.
Married women, including non-Saudis, require their husband's permission to depart the country, while unmarried women and children require the permission of their father or male guardian.
A mother's consent will not suffice: minor children must have their father's permission in order to leave the Kingdom. Children visiting their fathers in Saudi Arabia, even when there is a custody agreement, may be prevented from leaving unless the father consents. This is true even if the child is a U.S. citizen. The U.S. Embassy cannot obtain exit visas for the departure of minor children without their father's permission.
A regulation enacted in 2008 requires Saudi men to sign a document giving irrevocable permission to their foreign wives and the children born of their union to travel in and out of the country without restrictions. In practice, authorities rarely require this document and it is not retroactive when signed. Even with such documentation, foreign spouses and their children may still have difficulty leaving Saudi Arabia freely.
Foreign mothers of Saudi children, regardless of marital status, may apply for five-year permanent residency permits without the need for a sponsor. To do so, they must prove maternity and that they are (or were) legally married to Saudi citizens. If a foreigner and a Saudi living in Saudi Arabia divorce, the Saudi courts rarely grant permission for the foreign parent to leave the country with the children born during the marriage, even if he or she has been granted physical custody.
Also see our travel tips for Women Travelers.
Employment: The Arabic text of a contract governs employment and business arrangements under Saudi law. Verbal assurances or side letters are not binding under Saudi law. In the event of any contract dispute, Saudi authorities refer to the written contract.
- It is common practice for sponsors to demand that residents working in Saudi Arabia surrender their passports while in the Kingdom. Although this practice is technically illegal, sponsors are rarely, if ever, punished by the Saudi authorities for doing so.
- Sponsors have wide latitude and responsibilities for employees and family members under their sponsorship, including obtaining residence permits for the employee and for any family members.
- All residents should be issued a Saudi residence permit (Iqama) for identification and are recommended to carry it at all times.
- The U.S. Embassy and Consulates General in Saudi Arabia cannot sponsor private U.S. citizens for Saudi visas.
- Since the Saudi sponsor generally holds the employee's passport and controls the issuance of exit permits, U.S. citizens cannot leave Saudi Arabia in the event of a labor or business dispute, which could take months or years to resolve.
- To change employers within the Kingdom, Saudi Arabia requires the written permission of the original sponsoring employer.
- The U.S. Embassy and U.S. Consulates General cannot adjudicate labor or business disputes, nor can we provide translation or legal services.
- U.S. consular officers can provide lists of local attorneys to help U.S. citizens settle business disputes, but ultimate responsibility for the resolution of disputes through the Saudi legal system, and payment for those services, lies with the parties involved.
- For additional information on Saudi labor law, please refer to the Ministry of Labor's information on related regulations.
- Saudi customs authorities enforce strict regulations concerning the importation of such banned items as alcohol, weapons, and any item that is held to be contrary to the tenets of Islam (such as pork, anything considered pornographic under strict Islamic principles, and religious materials).
- Imported and domestic audiovisual media and reading matter are censored.
- Christmas and other holiday decorations, fashion magazines, and "suggestive" videos may be confiscated and the owner subject to penalties and fines.
- Electronic devices may be subject to inspection upon entry or exit. Please see our Customs Information.
Importing Animals: The Saudi Ministry of Agriculture must approve all pets imported into Saudi Arabia.
- Cats and dogs entering Saudi Arabia require a Veterinary Health Certificate and a dated letter from the veterinary private practitioner addressed to the Director of Customs, Saudi Arabia.
- Both documents must be authenticated by the Department of Agriculture Veterinary Service Office and the State Department's Authentications Office and attested by the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia.
- The certificate must indicate that the animal was examined and is free from disease, and confirm that rabies and other vaccines are current. Information on the name, breed, sex, color, and age of the animal must also be stated.
- Please see additional information on taking a pet overseas.
Teaching English in Saudi Arabia: English teachers comprise a large and growing segment of the U.S. expatriate population in Saudi Arabia. In the past few years, several teachers have complained about rapid dismissals and restrictions on their movement. Teachers should make sure they obtain the appropriate work visa prior to coming to Saudi Arabia. Business visas do not grant the applicant the right to work or to reside in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Employers of English teachers frequently issue short-term, single-entry work visas that coincide with a 90-day "probation" window, during which time the employee or employer can freely end the working relationship. Foreign employees must leave the country soon after dismissal or face deportation proceedings. Dismissed employees have little, if any, recourse or grounds for appeal. Further information can be found in our Guide to Teaching English in Saudi Arabia.
Standards of Conduct and Religious Police: Norms for public behavior in Saudi Arabia are extremely conservative, and the religious police, referred to colloquially as the Mutawwa or Al-Hay'a, are charged with enforcing these standards.
- Mutawwa are required to carry special identification and usually are accompanied by uniformed police.
- If a police officer is present, Mutawwa have the power to take individuals to a police station or Mutawwa office.
- An individual must, if requested, hand over his or her residence permit (Iqama) or other identification to the police officer.
- U.S. citizens who are involved in an incident with the Mutawwa should report the incident to the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh or the U.S. Consulates General in Jeddah or Dhahran.
The Saudi government does not permit photography of governmental facilities such as military bases and government buildings. It is also sensitive to photography that may be perceived as portraying the country in an unfavorable light. This policy can include photos of mosques, impoverished areas, the local population, and traditional souks (markets). You should not take anyone's picture without clear consent, and never take a picture of a woman or a place where women congregate. Be aware of local sensitivities whenever you are taking pictures in public.
In most areas of Saudi Arabia, and particularly in Riyadh and the central part of the Kingdom, women wear a full-length black covering known as an abaya, and cover their heads. Women who choose not to conform to this dress code face a risk of confrontation by Mutawwa and possible detention/arrest. Men should also dress conservatively, and not wear shorts in public or go without a shirt.
Many areas of life in Saudi Arabia are segregated by sex to ensure that unrelated men and women have no possibility of mingling (a punishable crime). Some Mutawwa try to enforce this by asking for proof that a couple is married or related. Women who are arrested for socializing with a man who is not a relative may be charged with prostitution. Some restaurants, particularly fast-food outlets, refuse to serve women who are not accompanied by a close male relative. In addition, some restaurants or cafes do not have a "family section" in which women are permitted to eat. Men not accompanied by a close female family member must stay out of family sections, and cannot use services (such as registers at supermarkets) designated as "family". These restrictions are not always posted. This is more common in Riyadh and the more conservative central region known as the Nejd.
Dancing, playing music, and showing movies in public are forbidden.
The Hajj and Umrah: Please review the Department of State's Hajj Fact Sheet for useful information on traveling to perform the Hajj or Umrah.
Medical care varies greatly in quality, and high profile cases of medical malpractice and errors have occurred. Consult your regular physician if you are considering serious medical treatment in Saudi Arabia.
We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas.
Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage.
We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.
Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor's prescription.
If traveling with prescription medication, check with the government of Saudi Arabia to ensure the medication is legal in Saudi Arabia. Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor's prescription.
For health-related information on the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), formerly called "novel coronavirus," visit the CDC's MERS-CoV webpage.
Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Travel & Transportation
Road Conditions and Safety: Driving in Saudi Arabia is extremely hazardous due to excessive speeding, aggressive driving, lax enforcement of traffic regulations and a high volume of traffic.
With a valid visitor visa and U.S. driver's license, male visitors may drive a rental car. To drive vehicles other than rental cars, a Saudi driver's license and appropriate car registration is required. Police may detain you if you cannot produce these documents.
See the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Interior website for further information.
Traffic Laws:
- Temporary male visitors may drive using their U.S. driver's license, though it may be advisable to also obtain an international driver's license.
- Foreign men employed in Saudi Arabia must obtain a local driver's license from the Department of Traffic Police.
- Women are not allowed to drive or ride motorcycles, bicycles, or any other type of vehicle on public roads.
- A valid foreign or international driver's license can be used for either a year or until the expiration date, whichever is closer.
- In the event of a traffic accident resulting in personal injury, everyone involved (if not seriously injured) may be taken to the local police station.
- All drivers, regardless of fault, are likely to be held for several days until responsibility is determined and any reparations paid.
- U.S. citizens involved in a serious accident resulting in injury or death should immediately contact their sponsors and the U.S. Embassy or nearest U.S. Consulate.
- Residents should update their personal details through one of the methods available here to receive SMS notifications once a traffic ticket is issued.
- Delay in payment of any ticket might result in doubling of the ticket amount.
- Travelers will need to pay any fines issued through this system before leaving the country; this may be possible at the airport but only during regular Saudi office hours.
Public Transportation:
- Only use established taxi companies, such as those offering cabs with meters. Taxis are available throughout major cities, in particular at hotels and may be telephoned or summoned via smartphone app to pick up passengers at other locations.
- Avoid sitting in the front seat of a taxi, do not travel to unfamiliar areas, and do not enter taxis with unknown passengers.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we suggest that you visit the website of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Interior.
Aviation Safety Oversight: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Saudi Arabia's air carrier operations.
