Out of curiousity, I checked out your company's website (I'm not looking for a job) and found clicking the 4 segment areas (Phone, Desktop, Web and DB Development) doesn't do anything. Also, the site seems painfully slow.

 I'm thinking of skinning it to look like Android Holo theme, I wonder if this will make it any faster than the metro look

Nice site.
Wasn't slow for me either.

A note for our American members who may not have heard of Manchester, UK
Think Detroit, take out the nice bits, and make it rain all the time. According to Fox News, the Beatles are from Manchester[^]
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

That's as opposed to UK Tourist Boards who might not have heard of Birmingham, USA[^].

It's as I always suspected: most City Councils haven't been near the city they are supposed to represent for long enough to recognise it!

Well I am not that familiar with the part of the world on the other side of the pond but I don't think an hour is enough time to say no takers. Isn't it past 5 over there atm? Or pub time? Best time to post a job opening is just before 8am on a weekday or Friday after 6pm. Nobody looks for work at 4pm.

So they just recycled an imported stock photo? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Gawd! 12, 15 years ago maybe? But I hear it has gone downhill a lot since then...

I'm not sure "downhill" is sufficient to describe the decline.
I think you may have just given Manchester an unfustified bad name. 
If you leave "downtown" proper, it goes bad, really bad, really fast.
Have look at the abandoned buildings around here[^]. Note the collasped roofs... It's like this all up and down Gratiot, and pretty much everywhere else.
StreetView doesn't do it justice. You have to experience it in person to get the full effect.
The area around Gratiot and Conner[^] is the second most dangerous 'hood in the entire country. Don't look at what's directly on Gratiot or now nice the grass appears to be from up high. Look around in the subdivisions, get down to street view.
A really nice example of what's happening here can be found in the trees just south of this intersection. Trees and streets, but no houses. The GoogleMaps car didn't go in there for a reason. It used to be a subdivision, but was cut off from the streets by newish businesses that were built later.
Looking around you'll see empty lots covered in grass. Those used to be houses, all (eventually) demolished, but they're pretty much surrounded by more abandoned houses. For example...[^]
All the grass you see around here[^] used to be filled with houses crammed together so tight there was only about 5 feet of space between them. Oh, and the school in there (top center of map) is also abandoned.
And that's just a small sampling of the East side. The West side of Detroit is worse. This[^] area holds the title for the most dangerous 'hood in the country. Here, the chances of you landing in the hospital, or worse, are 1 in 7.
What's Manchester got on this?

Been advised to repost here.
I am sure some of you will get upset by this OT post, but I am trying to reach coders with knowledge about numerical processing in C/C++.
I am a beginner in this form of computing, presently trying to implement FFT in signal detection and processing.
I am no mathematician and have trouble transferring mathematical formulas to code.
I am presently looking for some reasonable text(book) to learn about the numerical computing.
I have found this source “Numerical Recipes in C” but I am not sure if that is a good starting point for me.
I am not looking for specific processing library, I just want someplace to start learning.
Thanks for understanding
Cheers
Vaclav

"HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius compared the exchanges to Apple products. The tech company doesn't just abandon its products if they have glitches - it improves them with updates, she pointed out to health care reporters yesterday. "No one is calling on Apple to not sell devices for a year or two or get out of the business because the whole thing is a failure. Everybody assumes [if] there's a problem, [Apple will] fix it and move on." [^].
That's U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sibelius, speaking of the roll-out of ObamaCare.
