Jimmy's Famous Seafood
Online Reservations
Great food and enormous portions - plenty to take home for the next day. Vegetables were nice and crisp, not overcooked. Plenty of parking (although we were there for lunch on a Saturday - I understand evenings are a different story).
I had a relative visiting from AZ and he wanted to have the best crab cake in Baltimore. I am so glad I chose Jimmy's. It was truly a delight. I would recommend a visit to this wonderful establishment to anyone!
We sent to Jimmy's for crabs. We got the mediums $49 doz. They were hot and seasoned well. They were served a new style in a Crab Pot with Steamed ears of corn on top. They were a surprise. Everything was delicious.
Jimmy's is a top-notch establishment with impeccable service, quality food and the "BEST" crabs in the Baltimore.
I had a great time at Jimmy's. My family and I came down for Mother's day. The crab cakes were yummy and the service was awesome. Thanks. I would definitely come again.
I go to Jimmy's at least 2 to 3 times year. This is the first time I went on Mother's Day. Needless to say that there was a steady flow of traffic. I was disppointed that they were only serving from a limited menu. I know that many resturants do that but they should have posted that on their website and should have made that very clear before you were seated. We just ate crabs because there was nothing on the limited menu that we wanted. The crabs were ok not as good as they usually are. However, one person in our party did get the steak and crab cake, it was excellent. The steak was grilled to perfection. The crab cake was large meaty.
When we arrived at the restaurant, although the lobby was very crowded, we had reservations and was seated right away. They took into consideration that a member of the party was in a wheelchair. It was easy for them to get to the table and everything. The limited menu was just what we needed. Our waitress was very nice and calm even though it was a busy day. Considering it was Mothers day and there were a lot of parties, the food came out as quick as you could imagine. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!! I am a huge fan of crab cakes, but other people had steak. There weren't any complaints, especially since everyone cleaned their plates. The dessert menu was offered, but we were STUFFED! All and all a great experience I hope to bring my family back.
Great food but pricy. Dozen crabs costs 89 dollars. I went with my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday. The food was fantastic, our waitress was totally awesome. We had a fun time. Just be prepared to pay top dollar for the crabs if you go. I do however highly recommend the place!
Great food and attentive staff. Noise level was out of control.
A great place to take the whole family. Large portions (we took home boxes), reasonable prices. Good selection--from salads and sandwiches to more substantial dinners. Entrees a little on the salty side (my only criticism). Loved the steamed shrimp and fried calamari. Filet mignon was very tender and flavorful. Chocolate mousse cake was a delicious calorie splurge.
My Favorite Spot. There is no better CRAB house. Period! My waitress, Rini, is the BOMB:-)....Always provide excellent service with a smile.
Was recommended by a CSX employee in NJ so I tried Jimmy's this weekend. What a gem, food was great service excellent. People were having fun. I would recommend Jimmy's .
I am not much of a meat eater but I do like good steak. Jimmy's will not disappoint. I know, why go to a seafood place for a steak? I was totally shocked as any one else. The steak was tender and cooked to perfection. I even took it home an d heated up in the microwave the next day and it was still tender. I have been to just about every steak place in Baltimore and this seafood place beats them all.
I was looking for a all you can eat crab place close to DC. This was listed as one but the menu listed was outdated. I DONT CARE tho... Food was amazing!! It did not have a strog seafood smell like some places I have been. Dishes I NORMALLY DISLIKE such as Crab Nachos were amazing.... Totally recommend!!
The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Bahamian Orange Roughy and hadn't had orange roughy in quite a few years, It was superb!! I didn't know if I would like the mustard sauce, but the waitress( Reeney) talked me in to getting it and I'm glad I did. There could have been a little less mustard, but overall it was great! My husband ordered the extra large crabs and I ate 2 of them. They were perfect!! The others we dined with had the stuffed lobster which they loved. They looked lovely. We also had the eggplant for appetizer and it was enough for a meal and very delicious. The calamari was nothing special. It was bland, over breaded and over priced. We will definitely be back!!
I have not been to Jimmy's in years, but it has not changed. The staff is friendly and the food is good. You always know what you are going to get. The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty.
this restaurant is amazing was here years ago and was recently in the area again and made it a priority to stop back. I am glad I did was very impressed with the experience, excellent food and service. Will definitely go back whenever I'm in the area and would recommend this restaurant.
This restaurant has been refurbished and is now a pleasant place to eat. Good food; good service. The Greek salad continues to be the best. Everything else we had was excellent, as well.
Make sure they know ahead of time if you are coming for crabs or a regular entree. I made my reservation on open table and when I got there they automatically sat my group at a regular dining table not one of their crab tables. We were lucky enough they had a spot for us to move to the crab table. We were also surprised for a table of 4 at the crab table they automatically add 18% gratuity without being told. The waiter was very good and I ended up adding more to the tip anyway but if you don't look close at your receipt you will end up tipping close to 35-40% because the waiter didn't warn us they added the gratuity.
Great food, great service, what more could you ask for
I have not been to Jimmy's Seafood in about 15 years and did not know what to expect. I only remembered crabs, greek food and deserts. I decided to take my youngest for his high school graduation and my oldest granddaughter for her kindergarten graduation. We were a party of 10. While the food was very good, the service friendly, there was one draw back. The waiter did not have enough help to keep up with our table. I was not unhappy with service just not overly inpressed. He was a great waiter but overburdened with other tables. We had crabs, corn (in husks) which was good but not preferred, steaks, crab dip(very good), macaroni and cheese, shrimp alfredo pasta, and we had great choices for drinks and desert was a little limited.
Thursday night special is the best! Great food at a low cost. We sat in the dining room where crabs are normally served because we preferred a booth. It was a bit loud because there were two large groups eating, but that is to be expected. It didn't dampen our thoughts about the meal or service. I think I have found my new favorite restaurant.
That was a lil wait for food but as always the Food was Great!!!
The food was good, service excellant but too noisy. At times it was difficult to hesr the conversation.
If the noise level was so loud, I would have given Jimmy's a perfect score. The food was beyond fantastic and the wait staff was extremely attentive! Not for date night since you can barely hear your group, but definitely for hanging with friends. Maybe I'll try another night besides Saturday to eat there amazing food!
The food is always amazing when I come here. Recently came for Restaurant Week and the special is a steal...my appetizer of bang bang shrimp had about 10 shrimp on the plate, the crab cake was huge, and my dessert was ridiculously good - a belgian waffle ice cream sandwich with nutella drizzled over it. Definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves seafood.
14oz prime rib and full size appetizers plus desserts was well worth the $30! Cooked to perfection as requested! Service was slow but they were busy. Freshly made onion rolls were yummy too! Large full size portions yay!!!
The food looked pretty, and tasted delicous. The chair was uncomfortable for a big girl.but everything else was great. I plan to tell my friends, church, & family
Each course was more delicious than the previous. Kudos to the chef. I enjoyed each bite. I had the bang bang shrimp for my appetizer and the crab cake platter for dinner. Our server was very attentive. Will definitely go back again even if its not Baltimore's Restaurant Week.
My wife and I had a fantastic time there last Friday evening. The food was delicious and our waiter was great. I however do have one concern. Jimmy's website advertised their "Happy hour" was from 4-7pm. The problem is these drink prices are only if you drink at the bar and not at a table in the restaurant. Also, my wife and I arrived at 6pm and though we sat at the bar, we were told the "Restaurant Week Meal" prices are not in affect there. This information should be included on their website or at least somewhere as to advise customers prior to their arrival.
One of Baltimore's treasures for crabs. The jumbos were heavy and delicious. The place was crowded and noisy, but well worth it for the crabs. Good variety of beer on tap and service was attentive. Great Greek salad, good set ups for crabs - heavy paper on tables, good paper towels and buckets for the shells. Staff was helpful.
Our first visit was Aug. 15, '13; the food was scrumptous, the price was right and our server Rini was "pure pleasure". Three ingredients for an awesome dining experience were perfectly packaged at Jimmy's; food, price and service. We were so mezmerized with our server, Rini, she was worth more than 20% gratuities to us. We couldn't wait to return; to see if we were dreaming! Yesterday, Sunday, Aug. 18, we were returning from a fabulous weekend in NY; another Jimmy's experience was desired. I made reservations for 8 and requested Rini...it happended again!! Great food, awesome service from Rini and everybody can't wait to return! I'm a foodie; how did I miss you all these years? Well, I'm hooked. Guess what, 7 of the guess are from DC
Very loud. We moved our table into the back room which was much more quiet. The crabs were excellent which is all that matters.
I live in Dundalk & love being able to go to restaurants nearby with ample (FREE) parking and not have to take the tunnel to get there or drive all the way to white marsh just to have a cute pleasant dinner. Both the calamari and the scallops were a bit salty but I love the sangria, they give generous bread at the table- I was pretty full & had lots of leftovers and had no room for dessert. Prices are what would be expected for seafood. My only issue was that I had to submit my receipt for points credit on open table because the host forgot to "check us in" for our reservation through open table and I thought that was a little lame since its a 1000 pt place that I definitely want to go to again sometime! I hope they don't forget next time!
My husband and I enjoyed dinner and crabs for our 3rd wedding anniversary at Jimmy's, and it was perfect! The server was very friendly and seemed happy to be working at this restaurant. The crabs and food were delicious! The $2 crabs were a great deal. I was pretty full after the crabs and took most of my dinner home. I had the leftovers the next day, and they were great heated up. Good beer selection too! We are really happy we chose to celebrate our special night at Jimmy's!
This crab house is definitely off the beaten path in Baltimore - it is out in the industrial area of Dundalk, and not near anything else I know. But it was DEFINITELY worth the (short) drive and adventure. We took some out-of-town relatives there, when we couldn't access our normal favorite spot for steamed crabs due to road closures for the Grand Prix. The steamed jumbos were delicious and large, and the rest of the menu was extensive. We'll certainly go back for the food, but the service was not as attentive as I would have liked. I'm willing to give it a second chance.
The service has been fantastic they hire a great waitstaff. But the star of the show is the fantastic food
We were having dinner with 2 other couples and the food w perfect. Just what we wanted to share with the group.
I have been to Jimmy's on a few different occasions within the last few months and I must say the experiences have been pleasurable. The food has been wonderful and the atmosphere has been very nice. I have no complaints with the establishment.
If you get them fried, you are missing out. Great staff from wait staff to GM. Warm and friendly. A MUST if you are in town!
We are from San Diego and wanted to eat at a Seafood restaurant in Baltimore. We went to Jimmy's Famous Seafood and throughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommended.
Salmon is delicious. Juicy tender and big portion. The cream of crab soup is the best with large chunks of meat in it. The stuffed lobster never disappoints even though it was over cooked.
The best steamed crabs I've had in a Baltimore restaurant in many years. Their osyter stew (a bisk really) is the best I've ever had in any restaurant anywhere.
We came to Baltimore to celebrate my moms 60th birthday. Some of us came from NY some from NC and one from FL. We weed looking for a good seafood restaurant and upon reading the reviews we decided to give Jimmy's a try. Rini was our waitress she was beyond amazing as well as very patient. I had seen a few dishes that sounded mouth watering on Jimmy's website that I did not see on the menu and after choosing something else I asked Rini if there was anyway to get the seafood nirvana and she went above and beyond to get it for me. Everything from the cream of crab soup to the seafood nirvana to the surf and turf and crab cakes etc. we're absolutely amazing. I highly recommend trying it out. It may seem like a dive when you pull up but it's not
Best restaurant food I can remember for quite a while - excellent food - reasonable prices
Always greeted professionally and friendly. Waiters are always available and dependable. Food temperature is correct. Food is absolutelydevine, nothing better anywhere else.
Super fantastic dinner. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside and the food was amazing! We will be going back soon and we live all the way across the Bay Bridge!
This is a great local restaurant! We have gone here for Thanksgiving dinner two years in a row. Food was very good and reasonably priced.
I've been going to Jimmy's since I was 14 years old. The Greek salad and crab fluff will always be my favorite and are as good now as they were then, although many other selections are just as tasty! Our waitress was wonderful too! Highly recommend it! Something for everyone!!!
I have to say Jimmy is starting to become my favorite seafood spot in MD. I went on Saturday for a bday party and had a great time. The server and management are very nice and accommodating. Food is a nine it would get a 10 but my friend did not like her crab nachos. I had the burger and they were very accommodating with me when I ordered it. I will keep coming back.

Cornwall, or the bid to build a nation in the 21st century
Plenty of work still to be done. Almost everything, to be more precise. But there is some hope, even if only because they are "fortunate to be able to paint their regional discontents in the attractive colours of Celtic tradition, which makes them so much more viable", as Eric Hobsbawm wrote. Indomitable Cornish nationalists are seeking to get an elected assembly and devolved powers from Westminster. They have been trying since 2001, when the Cornish Constitutional Convention gathered some 50,000 signatures (i.e. 10% of Cornish residents) calling for a Cornish assembly. In 2009, LibDem MP Dan Rogerson introduced a bill aimed at giving Cornwall a level of self-government similar to that of Wales. No success again. Continue reading

Cholesterol medications: Consider the options
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol-medications/HB00042
Cholesterol medications: Consider the options
By Mayo Clinic staffA healthy lifestyle is the first defense against high cholesterol. But sometimes diet and exercise aren't enough, and you may need to take cholesterol medications. Cholesterol medications may help:
- Decrease your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol that increases the risk of heart disease
- Decrease your triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood that also increases the risk of heart disease
- Increase your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol that offers protection from heart disease
Your doctor may suggest a single drug or a combination of cholesterol medications. Here's an overview of benefits, cautions and possible side effects for common classes of cholesterol medications.
Drug class and drug names | Benefits | Possible side effects and cautions |
Statins Altoprev (lovastatin) Crestor (rosuvastatin) Lescol (fluvastatin) Lipitor (atorvastatin) Mevacor (lovastatin) Pravachol (pravastatin) Zocor (simvastatin) |
Decrease LDL and triglycerides; slightly increase HDL | Constipation, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, cramps, muscle soreness, pain and weakness; possible interaction with grapefruit juice |
Bile acid binding resins Colestid (colestipol) Questran (cholestyramine/ sucrose) Welchol (colesevelam) |
Decrease LDL | Constipation, bloating, nausea, gas; may increase triglycerides |
Cholesterol absorption inhibitor Zetia (ezetimibe) |
Decreases LDL; slightly decrease triglycerides; slightly increase HDL | Stomach pain, fatigue, muscle soreness |
Combination cholesterol absorption inhibitor and statin Vytorin (ezetimibe-simvastatin) |
Decreases LDL and triglycerides; increases HDL | Stomach pain, fatigue, gas, constipation, abdominal pain, cramps, muscle soreness, pain and weakness; possible interaction with grapefruit juice |
Fibrates Lofibra (fenofibrate) Lopid (gemfibrozil) TriCor (fenofibrate) |
Decrease triglycerides; increase HDL | Nausea, stomach pain, gallstones |
Niacin Niaspan (prescription niacin) |
Decreases LDL and triglycerides; increases HDL | Facial and neck flushing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gout, high blood sugar, peptic ulcers |
Combination statin and niacin Advicor (niacin-lovastatin) |
Decreases LDL and triglycerides; increases HDL | Facial and neck flushing, dizziness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, chills; possible interaction with grapefruit juice |
Omega-3 fatty acids Lovaza (prescription omega-3 fatty acid supplement) Vascepa (Icosapent ethyl) |
Decrease triglycerides | Belching, fishy taste, increased infection risk |
Most cholesterol medications lower cholesterol with few side effects, but effectiveness varies from person to person. If you decide to take cholesterol medication, your doctor may recommend periodic liver function tests to monitor the medication's effect on your liver. Also remember the importance of healthy lifestyle choices. Medication can help control your cholesterol — but lifestyle matters, too.

For a lone wolf, the Water Bearer sure likes to have a lot of people around. Aquarians are humanitarians above all else, idealistic in their beliefs and ardent pursuers of causes. Non-profit organizations and trade unions would be a natural for them -- anything that will help the greater good. This unconventional rebel-with-a-cause cares so deeply about his fellow man that the quest for knowledge and answers is never-ending.
The mentally-quick Water Bearer enjoys a challenge and anything at a rapid-fire pace, whether it's a team meeting or a battle of bantering wits. Aquarians are firm in their beliefs -- they've spent plenty of time thinking about them -- and are bound to get the job done. Their inquisitive nature always has them considering what's new, different and mysterious and how these things can help people in the future. Is the Water Bearer a pioneer or a renegade? Perhaps a bit of both, but there's no doubting that they see the world in their own unique way!
The old 'company man' mold is given a firm boot by Aquarians. To them, that world is inconceivable, a total waste of resources. The Water Bearer wants no boundaries and to be able to continually push the envelope -- now that's living! And working, since it's part of the plan. Aquarians will spend countless hours mulling over the possibilities for a project and may even come up with some startling conclusions, but it's all in a day's work. And it's never boring! A dull day is a nightmare for the energetic Water Bearer.
The Aquarius office is probably Zen-like in character, with a low working table and cushions all around for its occupant and guests (remember, everyone is an equal member of the team). That futuristic clock in the corner was probably made by the Water Bearer. An electric car or the newest Beetle would provide loads of fun and make for a handy-dandy way to get to lunch at an avant garde spot with stunning world food and delectable Rainforest Crunch.
Aquarians are well-suited as inventors, politicians, writers, scientists, astronauts, artists and, you guessed it, astrologers!

Established in 2004, the Vein Center is dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. Our physician's perform the Ambulatory Phlebectomy procedure for varicose veins using the sutureless European microsurgery technique.
The Vein Center has also been on the cutting edge in the cosmetic treatment of unattractive spider veins using both the latest technology (laser) and the latest techniques (foam sclerotherapy) as well as traditional sclerotherapy.
Varicose and spider veins are evidence of blood pooling in the veins as a result of the valves inside the veins not working properly. It is often a genetic condition that can be aggravated by being on your feet for long periods of time and is also common during and after pregnancy.
Varicose veins are the bulging type veins in the deeper vein system. Varicose veins can be very painful, leaving the legs feeling heavy and tired. People will often complain of fatigue after being up on their feet. Spider veins are web like discolorations on the surface of the skin. They are not usually uncomfortable but are often unsightly, making people feel self conscious about the appearance of their legs.
Telangiectasias, or spider veins, are small enlarged blood vessels near the surface of the skin; usually they measure only a few millimeters. They can develop anywhere on the body but commonly on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. They can also develop on the legs, specifically on the upper thigh, below the knee joint, and around the ankles.
These are actually developmental abnormalities but can closely mimic the behavior of benign vascular neoplasms. They may be composed of abnormal aggregations of arterioles, capillaries, or venules.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Thursday he's unsure when President Obama will talk about the country's racial issues, which have been front-and-center since the George Zimmerman trial. But he added he's sure the president will comment on the matter when asked about it.
"I don't know when he will next address these matters. In some regards it is up to people who interview him, but he hasn't shied away from these issues in the past and I'm sure he won't in the future," Carney said in the daily press briefing.
The parents of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager shot and killed by George Zimmerman last year, said the "not guilty" verdict in Zimmerman's trial is sending the wrong message to minority teenagers.
"You can't walk fast, you can't walk slow. So what do they do? I mean, how do you get home without people knowing or either assuming that you're doing something wrong? Trayvon wasn't doing anything wrong," Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mom, said Thursday on "CBS This Morning."
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Florida, followed Martin while the teenager was walking home in February 2012, saying Martin looked suspicious. During an ensuing confrontation, Zimmerman shot Trayvon, claiming he did so in self-defense.
After the weeks-long trial, the six-member jury acquitted Zimmerman, concluding there was not enough proof to convict him of second-degree murder or manslaughter.
Martin's parents pushed for the federal government - which is considering whether to file criminal civil rights charges against Zimmerman - to examine the case closely. Fulton told CBS she wants Obama to go through the case "with a fine-tooth comb."
A number of large protests erupted in the days following the verdict, with many expressing anger over the jury's decision. MoveOn.org, a progressive political group, and the NAACP have collectively collected more than a million signatures for a petition urging the federal government to get involved.
Carney reiterated Thursday that the Department of Justice is investigating the matter but the White House, nor the president, would comment "on the specifics of that process."
The president released a statement on Sunday, one day after the verdict, calling for "calm reflection" following the acquittal of Zimmerman. While he nodded to the emotionally charged climate, he concluded that "we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken."
However, he has yet to speak publicly about the verdict. Obama took part in a round of Spanish-language interviews on Monday, but he was not asked about the jury's decision.
Others have called for Obama, the country's first African American president, to address racial tension in the United States, given the role that it played in the recent trial.
Obama has spoken on race in the past, notably in a 2008 speech during his presidential campaign. The president also addressed racism in a recent commencement speech to graduates at Morehouse College, an historically black, all-male school.
Furthermore, the president weighed in on Martin's death last year, saying the incident requires some national "soul-searching" and added that if he had a son, "he'd look like Trayvon."
Asked by CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin if the president has a desire to speak again about race, Carney said Thursday he is sure the president "will address this when asked."
"The president has talked about the issues of race obviously in the past and has acted on a number of issues that have to do with improving the racial dynamic in our country," Carney added.
He pointed to Obama's comments on voting rights, affirmative action and economic policies as steps the president has taken to improve racial divides in the U.S.
But, Carney added, he doesn't "have a scheduling announcement to make about remarks or speeches."
"(The president's) belief is that Trayvon Martin's death was a tragedy and it was a tragedy for his family, for his community and for the country because of what it symbolizes," Carney continued. "He hopes that we all take the opportunity here to reflect calmly here on what we can do to foster compassion and understanding and also to take action to reduce gun violence."
Some, however, argue the president has not done enough to tackle racial issues from the Oval Office.
Janet Langhart Cohen, author of the play "Anne and Emmett," wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post this week, saying the president has a responsibility to deliver a signature address on race relations now that he's in his second term and "liberated from the racial harness that politics forced him to wear" during his first four years in office.
"To use Dr. King's phrase, there is a fierce urgency of now for the president to talk boldly and truthfully about race and racism and why it still matters in the United States," she wrote. "I hope that President Obama will speak not just to black people or just to white people but to the good people in America. We can never have racial reconciliation without discussing the truth."
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, a Democrat who's now running for the comptroller's office in New York City, told CNN's Piers Morgan Wednesday that he hopes Obama will give a "good speech" on the debate surrounding the recent Zimmerman trial.
"(The president) has done great things at those moments when we need to crystallize," he said.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My kids love buildings things and knocking their creations down even more. I love the size of the blocks, big enough for small hands but still small enough they can play with them and take them anywhere. The only thing I don't like is the paint comes off very easy and they do eventually start splintering(I have a 16 month old who loves to chew on things)
Not as big as I thought they would be

Hi there,
I am trying to find guidelines on what is considered industry standard for percent visits to carts and carts to orders so i can measure our performance, tried a google search but could only find stats on complete funnel visits to orders.
Anyone got any pointers? or want to share?
I was considering 20% visits to carts and 35% carts to orders, that sound about right? We are currently below these figures.
Many thanks.
You'll find this sort of information in Econsultancy's Internet Statistics Compendium.
The report is updated monthly and is quite substantial, so we've recently split out into 11 sub-reports to make it easier to find the information you're after. You'll find information about shopping carts in the E-commerce Statisticss report.
If you're a paid member of Econsultancy, you'll be able to download this free as part of your membership. If not, there's a sample report you can view.
To benchmark your performance against an industry standard can usually be difficult - in this case, you haven't even mentioned what specific industry you're looking for data about? (Fashion, entertainment, automotive, etc?)
There's also the issue of whether you offer physical products or a service for purchase? ie. Likely to be a huge rate difference between conversion/checkout of (for example) car insurance against DVDs, as they're both entirely different.
I'd say that it totally depends on the sector and the product, so although there are generic statistics around, you need to drill down into the specifics.
I'd second Jake here, however...
Why look at 'industry standards' at all? Your site has its own current conversion rates - my advice would be to focus on improving them! If someone told you that the industry standard was 10% would you slap yourself on the back and make no further changes?
Firstly, you need to look at abandonment and its causes...the next step is addressing this abandonment...would be great to know where people drop off - what is your analytics telling you?
Would be great to hear.

industry standards - exactly required while you are looking for simple ways to promote your business. Promotional Pens
I agree with the comments so far - generic stats are pretty useless! To illustrate this, consider the Ecommerce Benchmark Survey, January 2007 – a survey with 1,923 respondents. Across all those respondents, average shopping cart abandonment rates were 52.1% but fell into a normal curve where the high end of the normal range was 80% abandoned carts and the low end was 12.5%. So if you are getting 50% abandonment you can't tell from this whether you are way ahead or way behind your competitors (they might have 12% or 80%)!
I reviewed the survey on my website here: http://usabilitynotes.typepad.com/usabilitynotes/2007/02/shopping_cart_a.html . It includes some discussion of most effective shopping cart improvements (more useful than the headline stats).
If you are looking to improve, I'd second the idea of looking at any usage statistics you can get from your site. You may also learn a lot from a small qualitative usability study - get a few people to run through the process of finding and buying something on your site while you watch, and also get them to do this on competitors sites. Look for any areas of confusion, frustration and hesitation - you may quickly identify the major areas for improvement.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
A man who was shot Wednesday by a Fayetteville officer after opening fire on police at a crime scene in Tiffany Pines remains in critical condition, authorities said.
Solomon Nimrod Butler, 24, of 4522 Ruby Ave., remains at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Lt. Todd Joyce, a spokesman for the Fayetteville Police Department, said Thursday.
The shooting happened about 9:15 a.m. as detectives and police Chief Harold Medlock were standing outside the residence where Arturo Omar Walker, 36, was found dead about an hour earlier, Joyce said.
Walker, of Lexington, was found when his sister and another woman went to the house to check on him. He is believed to be related to Butler, police said.
Investigators have not said how Walker died or how long he may have been dead.
Medlock said Wednesday that Walker's body had "severe trauma" and that a "violent struggle" appeared to have taken place inside the house.
Butler was walking on Ruby Avenue as Medlock and other officers were outside talking to the women, police said.
Butler pulled a handgun and began shooting as he approached officers, police said.
Clements, who was about seven feet from Butler, returned fire, injuring the gunman, police said.
No other injuries were reported.
Fayetteville police are investigating the homicide, and the State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the officer-involved shooting, which is standard for shootings involving law enforcement officers.
SBI officials did not have additional information about the investigation Thursday.
Walker, a graduate of Douglas Byrd High School, was convicted in 1995 of second-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, according to records with the N.C. Department of Public Safety. He was convicted of the Nov. 12, 1994, shooting death of 19-year-old Graylin Jackson. He was 17 at the time of the shooting.
Walker was released from prison March 26, 2012, records said.

SOURCE School Year Abroad
223 U.S. high school students live and study in China, France, Italy and Spain
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While millions of high school students return to their familiar campuses, 223 U.S. students departed from everything familiar to spend a full year living and studying in China, France, Italy and Spain. School Year Abroad (SYA) is pleased to welcome these students, the SYA Class of 2014. SYA is a yearlong high school academic study abroad program which provides individual student housing with a host family while students earn high school credit and prepare for admission to selective U.S. colleges and universities.
SYA's Class of 2014 is comprised of 223 high school juniors and seniors from more than 37 states and 5 foreign countries. They hail from 136 independent, parochial and public schools. Students who demonstrated exceptional academic achievements were awarded $210,000 in merit-based scholarships and more than $3 million in need-based financial was awarded throughout this year's class.
"SYA students have the opportunity to see the world through a broader lens than most U.S. high school students because they've fully experienced what it means to immerse oneself in another culture, another world," said SYA President Jack Creeden who also chairs the board of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). "What these students accomplish; exploring beyond the traditional high school curriculum, mastering a language, and becoming part of the global community, is unparalleled by any experience they could have at their home school."
High school students in good standing from any accredited U.S. high school are invited to apply to spend their junior or senior year with School Year Abroad. Applications are available online at www.sya.org.
About School Year Abroad
School Year Abroad (SYA) is a nonprofit organization with year-long and summer high school academic study abroad programs in China, France, Italy and Spain. Founded in 1964, SYA is the only high school study abroad program which allows students to live with a host family for an entire academic year while earning U.S. graduation credits and preparing for admission to selective U.S. colleges and universities. The central elements of SYA, the homestay and an academic program emphasizing cultural and linguistic immersion, ensure that students realize a mastery of the language and a deep understanding of the culture.

For as long as he can remember, Sarasota resident Peter Herke's life has revolved around cars and racing.
He rolls out from beneath a BMW he's been working on and wipes his hands on an old rag. Behind him, in his shop, sits a handful of other cars, mostly BMWs, hidden under protective covers. These highly modified cars, including several rarities, are only part of the collection Herke has built during his 40-year racing career.
Now, sitting in his office, which is lined with racing trophies, photos of his old cars and other mementos, the Berlin native describes how he developed his need for speed at a young age.
"You take a watch apart to see how it works, and you find that you're mechanically inclined," he says. "Then you take apart your bicycle, and you move on to mopeds, and, of course, you modify them to see how fast he you can make them."
At the age of 14, Herke became a journeyman and learned the ins and outs of the car mechanic trade before beginning a career that would take him all over Europe. He worked for dealerships and racing teams. In 1972, Herke opened his own shop in San Francisco, where he met his wife.
Shortly after starting the business, Herke grew anxious to get out of the shop and onto the track.
"I always wanted to give it a try," he says. "I wanted to see what it was like on the other side."
He earned his proper racing qualifications and bought a 1968 BMW, which in a slight stretch of the truth, he told his wife he was going to resell, and prepared it for the track. After his first race, Herke says the feeling of being behind the wheel had him hooked.
"You go into the turns as fast as you can, and you try to push the limits before you fly out," he says. "It's like you're dancing with the car. You try to scare yourself — or others."
Soon, Herke and his family lived and breathed racing. His wife, Rosemarie, is quick to point out that the couple even had to plan their wedding around his racing schedule. His daughter, Sonja Dickey, remembers growing up immersed in the racing culture.
"My brother and I practically grew up on the racetrack," she says. "We used to love going out there and getting dirty. It was such a cool experience for us."
Although he often raced against drivers backed with much heavier factory support, Herke's knowledge of the cars, combined with his skill behind the wheel, gave him a competitive edge, and he saw a lot of success throughout the years.
Herke says that some people are born to race, but he doesn't include himself in that category.
"I'm better behind the scenes," he says. "My excitement comes from seeing a car at 9,000 rpms. I want to see how fast I can make a car go, and how far I can push the materials and the motor. If it breaks, you start over."
After closing his shop and retiring in the late 1990s to Sarasota, he slowly transitioned into a more behind-the-scenes role, suping up cars for his son, Andre, who's developed his own successful racing career using Herke's cars.
"He drives with my wallet now," Herke jokes.
Even as he approaches his 70th birthday, Herke's love for cars hasn't faded. He's in his shop six days a week, constantly working on his cars to restore them and, of course, make them faster.
Herke remains modest, but his reputation as an expert BMW mechanic still precedes him.
"We still go on father/daughter road trips," says Dickey. "I can't believe how many people know who he is. Everyone comes up and asks him for advice. He becomes the guy everyone comes to."
Big boy toys
Herke's current car collection consists of the following:
• 1973 Pantera L
• 1972 BMW 2002 tii
• 1972 BMW 2002 "Shorty"
• 1961 Porsche 356

NORTHWEST PASSAGE?: The fabled shortcut to Asia from Europe has been open water in recent years but dangerous ice chunks still lurk in the coveted shipping lane of the McClure Strait, pictured here.

It is said that the Inuit have many words for snow, but when it comes to the Northwest Passage only one type of frozen water matters: multiyear ice. It can slice through the hull of a ship like a knife through butter and it persists in the passage's waters despite unprecedented warming in the Arctic Ocean, thwarting shippers in search of a shortcut between Europe and Asia.
The fabled Northwest Passage has made headlines ever since it thawed last year for the first time. For three centuries the quest for an expedited route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans rivaled today's space race, with European superpowers vying for the prize. Hundreds of sailors and countless expeditions ventured into Canada's Arctic waters, including such naval luminaries as Sir Francis Drake, Captain James Cook and the ill-fated Henry Hudson, who left his name—and lost his life—on the Canadian bay that marks its entrance.

Now, with the Arctic's sea ice shrinking at a rate of 10 percent per decade, this coveted shipping lane has opened for business—but shippers are not rushing to use it. The reason: as fate would have it, global warming appears to also be increasing the amount of potentially deadly multiyear ice chunks lurking in the newly opened pathway.
Sea of Ice
"The thing is, the Canadian Arctic has a totally different ice regime than the Arctic Ocean," says Stephen Howell, a climatologist at the Interdisciplinary Center on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
In fact, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago acts as a "drain trap" for ship-wrecking multiyear ice, Howell says. This year, for example, when the first-year ice in the passage had melted, it opened the way for multiyear ice (MYI) from the Queen Elizabeth Islands to flow into and clog the Northwest Passage. "We call it a 'MYI invasion' and that's going to be the threat as we transition to an ice-free summertime Arctic," he says.
"The first-year ice, that's sort of like Swiss cheese and you can just plow through it," Howell says. This ice freezes over a winter and is seldom thicker than three feet (one meter). Often, first-year ice melts the summer after it's frozen, but if it doesn't, it becomes thicker the following winter and becomes multiyear ice. "The multiyear ice isn't like Swiss cheese; it's solid and trouble" for ships that collide with it, he says.
"In places it was three meters (nearly 10 feet) thick, but in other places we had a five-meter (16.5-foot) drill bit and we still did not reach the bottom," says Bruno Tremblay, an atmospheric and oceanic scientist at McGill University in Montreal, who was taking ice cores of multiyear ice in the Canadian territory of Nunavut's Viscount Melville Sound last year.
"It's very dangerous," adds Ivana Kubat, an engineer at the National Research Council's Canadian Hydraulics Centre in Ottawa. "If a lower type of vessel hits a piece of multiyear ice, then the vessel can sink depending on the speed and damage." One study showed that multiyear ice was to blame for 74 percent of the damage suffered by ships traveling in the Canadian Arctic between 1976 and 2007.
A Route to Dodge Danger?
Still, there are several ways through the Northwest Passage. The southern, shallow and circuitous route through Peel Sound in Nunavut has been open the past three summers, thanks to warmer temperatures. "That's because that region is mostly first-year ice so with warmer temperatures it melts and it clears," Howell says.
