Well - I find this interesting - a comfortable pair of work pants.
I have shopped at Duluth Trading for many years. Not so much recently - until I was looking for some comfortable work pants. I saw these plain front chinos and thought I would give them a try. What interested me most was the stretch waist band (up to 3" of stretch).
I received them in good shape. I am impressed with the quality of the build. And they are very comfortable. They appear to be built to last. The stretch waist works very well, doesn't affect the look at all. The pocket material is heavy duty. All buttons were sown tight. A very good pair of pants indeed.

Free Android Development Tools
As I have begun to tinker around with Android, I find more and more free tools for doing so. Here is a list of what I have found so far. I am sure (positive) it is not a complete list and please add to it if you care to. The Android SDK is a given for all of these solutions.
1) Eclipse and The Android ADT plugin - This is what I am using at present.
2) IntelliJ IDEA
3) MIT app inventor - I made a simple app with this - pretty cool
4) Appcelerator Titanium
5) Processing for Android
6) Phonegap
It's great to work with a system that gets so much support and coverage.

Getting Design Help from Websites You Like
There are a gazillion websites out there. Every now and then you find one that has some features you like. Firefox and Chrome (and probably other browsers too) offer some tools to let you examine how the websites are put together. The first tool is the Page Source Tool. You will find it under the View menu in older versions of Firefox as shown below:
In newer versions of FF, you will find it under Tools-->Web Development as follows:
In Chrome, you will find this tool under the "wrench" icon as follows:
When selected, another window will open with the source HTML code for the webpage you are viewing. In this code window, you can view, select, copy the code for the webpage.
What you may find are links (url's) to other resources like .css files and .js files. If you are interested in these files - simple load the links. Then you can examine the structure of those files as well.
