KYIV, Ukraine - Prime Minister Stephen Harper affirmed Canada's unwavering support of a new, westward looking Ukraine on Saturday as he became the first world leader to meet the country's newly inaugurated president.
Harper's meeting with Petro Poroshenko, who formally took the oath of office as president Saturday morning in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv, has significant political overtones in Canada. There are 1.2 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent, and they represent an important voting block.
Harper said that although Ukraine faces tough challenges, it can count on Canada's continued support.
"I am here on behalf of the government of Canada to express our solidarity with the government of Ukraine as you stand up for your unity, your liberty and your territorial integrity," Harper told Poroshenko in an ornate meeting room in his new presidential office building.
"We're fully behind you on that. I also do want to express the solidarity of the Canadian people with the Ukrainian people in your aspiration for a democratic European future and not a return to the country's Soviet past."
Harper said Poroshenko and his administration have some tough challenges ahead as they set out to rebuild Ukraine's political and administrative systems and grow what has become a hobbled economy.
Harper also met with U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden on the margins of Saturday's inauguration.
"They re-affirmed the need for Russia to recognize the result of elections in Ukraine, to stop the flow of weapons and militants across the border and to exercise its influence among armed separatists to lay down their weapons and end the violence in Ukraine," Harper's office said in a statement.
Poroshenko was elected on May 25, in a ballot that was monitored by 500 Canadian observers.
The vote was called after his predecessor, pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, fled Ukraine in February following anti-Russian protests.
The popular uprising in Ukraine was sparked in November when Yanukovych reneged on an economic co-operation agreement with the European Union after pressure from Putin's Kremlin.
Paul Grod, president of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, said he got good feedback on Poroshenko in meetings in Kyiv on Saturday with Ukrainian MPs, Canadian expatriates and others as part of a weeklong visit.
"They support his strong western focus and the need to elect a new parliament as this one is dysfunctional," Grod told The Canadian Press.
"He hit all key messages. Crimea is and will always be part of Ukraine, Ukraine will sign EU Association Agreement, unitary state with more local control, corruption is first thing that must tackled," he added. "People are saying he's the right person at this time for Ukraine."
Thousands gathered in Kyiv's streets in sweltering heat as the candy billionaire was about to be sworn in.
"Crimea is, was and will be Ukrainian. There will be no trade-off," Poroshenko said in his inaugural address to the country's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.
Poroshenko said he hopes to negotiate a solution to the violence in his country's east, where pro-Russian separatist gunmen are continuing to cause unrest following Russia's annexation of Crimea in March — a move denounced by Harper and other Western leaders as an illegal act.
Poroshenko said he wants to grant amnesty "for those who do not have blood on their hands" but added he would not negotiate with the pro-Russian insurgents, calling them "gangsters."
As the prime minister headed for the ceremony Saturday morning, the mood in the capital was subdued, with people strolling casually about in shirtsleeves under blue, sunny skies.
The Maidan, Kyiv's main protest point where more than 100 demonstrators were killed in February, was calm just before the inauguration, with small groups of people milling about what is still very much a fortress city, barricaded by piles of rubble and tires.
Anatoli Shanchuk, 61, a Kyiv consultant, strolled through the square headed for the crowds gathered at the inauguration several blocks away.
"I am optimistic," he said, but he didn't want to get his hopes up too high, just yet, over Friday's meeting in France between Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin in France at the Normandy invasion ceremonies.
"We consider this very important that people in North America, Canada especially, they are supporting us psychologically, financially, politically. The question is people in those countries really understand what is going on here."
In the square outside the parliament, the sharp thundercrack of ceremonial gunfire was heard just after the swearing in, making some flinch.
Andrei Tolchko, 43, and his family were making their way toward the inauguration site, one week after being forced to leave their home in Donetsk, in Ukraine's turbulent east.
Fighting is still raging in eastern Ukraine between government forces and Russian separatists.
"This is a great big day for our country. Of course we hope very much that something changes in our country," Tolchko said.
"We were pressed to here, to Kyiv, but we are glad to be here because in my native city now people with machine guns go everywhere, and it's not our people mostly."
He said the militants are "people from all over the world with crazy ideas," and that support an outdated Cold War notion of a "the great Russian."
Fighting continues to rage in eastern Ukraine between government forces and Russian militants.
Harper was on his way back to Ottawa on Saturday after a whirlwind visit, his second since March. He arrived in Kyiv early Saturday morning after attending the 70th anniversary of D-Day ceremonies in Normandy, France.

Salt Lake among cities with biggest housing price drops
See the list » 29 items « Previous List
Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News
Home prices in Salt Lake are expected to fall 0.3 percent by the end of 2012, extending the 3.7 percent drop in 2011, according to the Fiserv Case-Shiller Home Price Index released today. Salt Lake saw a 14.8 percent drop in home prices from 2008 to 2011, according to the report. Rising apartment rent makes buying a cheaper option, which will bring in first-time and trade-up buyers into the market, especially as new households are formed. "Falling home equity has cut into household consumption and has further constrained the economic recovery," David Stiff, chief economist at Fiserv, said in a statement. "However, very low prices have also started to draw in more buyers. As demand for houses ramps up, construction activity will increase and residential investment will begin to make a substantial contribution to the recovery and GDP overall."

Housing prices are still over-priced. The average size of a home is still too large. Loans are still too expensive. Loans are still too accessible. And people shouldn't even be allowed to buy a home unless they have over 20% down.

I'm giving this a 5 because there was not one word or sentence that I had to skip over because it was offensive. It was a fun book, an easy read, great characters, and had a moral tale to tell. I would recommend it to all who want a few hours of peace and quiet with a delightful book in their hands.

I got this for free at amazon and have to say that I'm a little surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. There's some small-town fluff and a little bit of romance, some suspense, some crime, cake and puppies. A cute and entertaining read, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

A fun thriller/who-dunnit mystery. Dene Low really had fun writing this one. Sometimes I wish I had my own "AK-47"! :)

The Tennessee Student Environmental Alliance (TenneSEA) Clean Water Project and Caribbean SEA have opened a resale shop for outdoor gear and clothing called The Gear Closet. The shop will serve as a fundraiser for the clean water projects done by Caribbean SEA and TenneSEA , two affiliated organizations that empower kids and their communities to work for clean water in developing countries and in Tennessee.
The Gear Closet officially debuted at Outdoor Chattanooga's Outdoor Expo and Gear Swap, during the City of Chattanooga Spring Fest on April 21 as well as at the Chattanooga Market's Opening Day on Earth Day on April 22.
Officials said, "We have had an overwhelming response from the community so far. It is truly a community project, which has included help from Outdoor Chattanooga, Kenny Dolberry, Rock Creek Outfitters, the Raines Group, Mountain Arts Community Center, Leisure Time Dive, and all the folks who have cleaned out their closets so far to supply the shop with gear."
The store is manned by volunteers and the inventory comes from the community. All proceeds go to support the kids and communities who are eager to take better care of their water.
The Gear Closet is a reuse and recycling program, allowing one to donate or consign his or her old outdoor gear and clothing so others can put it to use. This is encouraged by Patagonia and their local sales rep is consigning a lot of new gear at the store.
Mary Beth Sutton, executive director of both Caribbean SEA and TenneSEA explained the concept: "We are starting as a pop up type store to minimize expense, create a good following and find just the right long term location for our resale shop. This will be a long term, more sustainable funding source for our clean water projects. Everyone benefits from clean water".

TORONTO, Sept 4 The Canadian government would like credit card companies and banks to voluntarily agree to lower transaction fees paid by retailers, and to do so within months, Finance Minister Joe Oliver said on Thursday.
"We've said in last year's budget that the government will work with stakeholders to promote fair and transparent practices and to help lower credit card acceptance fees for merchants and also to encourage merchants to reduce prices for consumers," Oliver told a news conference.
"We would like to see this proceed on a voluntary basis at this point. ... We're looking at months, not years, obviously," he said. (Reporting by Leah Schnurr; writing by Randall Palmer and David Ljunggren)

The back of these shoes is way too high, it caused a blister on my heel within the first 10 minutes of a run. I had to take them off to get back home. Other than the back of the shoe being designed horribly, they fit like a glove. Although they did hurt my arch after running as well. Not impressed. ... read more
The back of the shoes is too high for me. It caused blisters on both achilles after 10 min of running outside. I had to fold them over to get back home. I had them altered and the back cut and lowered and now they fit perfectly. This is my first Adidas pair, I owe 5 other running shoes , different brand that never caused any issues, even brand new. ... read more
Maybe it's just my feet, but the backs are way too high and really irritate my heels. Also, though I do have naturally flat feet, after a few blocks in these my arches kill. Otherwise the sneakers are quite comfy on the balls of my feels and pretty cool looking. ... read more
THE MOST COMFORTABLE RUNNING/WALKING SHOE EVER! I have high arches and a very particular toe on my left foot. I have tried several different brands and styles but all were lacking in one way or another. On my way to buy the Ultra Boost I stumbled on to these and really liked the design of the Color Core Black / Black (BB4017) Pureboost X. This shoe is like no other shoe I have every encountered. It literally fits like a glove. I always size up in a running shoe and did the same with this one and for me it was a good decision. The shoe has a glove like feel with amazing arch support and it's like walking on air. Plus the design is really cool! what other shoe has a floating arch support? Good job Adidas. ... read more
I just ordered this pair and another pair of ultra boosts. i really wanted to keep the PureBoostx but the back of the shoe digs into my achilles tendon- its pretty irritating. The suspended arch support is different but nice and fits pretty snug. overall they seem like a great shoe but unfortunately I cant get over the the back of the shoe digging in to my achilles. so disappointed because i really wanted to keep these. ... read more
I really wanted to like this shoe. The design is cute. I have slim feet and they fit like a glove, which I loved. They were lightweight. However, they just rode up way too high on the back of my heel. It irritated my achilles tendon, and I could tell that wearing them for a long time would be uncomfortable. I would love to have the shoe if the shoe could be reworked to ride lower on the heel, like other running shoes. ... read more
I have accessory navicular and found this shoe supports the tender areas of my feet. Some shoes feel like extra strain is placed on my arches when I run. These shoes don't affect me negatively when I stand for long periods of time, walk, or run. They are super comfy! ... read more
I like this shoes, because: 1. They fits perfect on my foot; 2. the midsole is freaking comfortable; 3. looks good and foot is not sweating. This shoes get two stars from me, because the design of this running shoes is not unfinished. After one week synthetic sidewall panels was started to touc a midsole and making a noise and vibrations i can feel when I'm making a move. This is not good and unpleasant. ... read more
Runs REALLY big. I ordered my usual size, 6.5, and when I received them, I thought they sent me a half or one full size bigger by mistake. There is at least an inch between my toes and the tip of the shoes. I loved the design, how sturdy yet light they are, and everything else about them, so was so sad that I had to return them. I totally would have exchanged for size 6, but all the smaller sizes were already sold out. Super bummed. Don't get me wrong. These shoes are wonderful. Just not properly sized. I do recommend to visit actual shops if you can to get a right size. ... read more
If you're on a budget and want to get in on the boost action, this is the shoe for you. IMHO This is the second most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Im talking waking on clouds comfy. Right up there with my AM90's. I highly recommend. ... read more
Nice to see Adidas rolling out non-Boost running shoes. I don't personally think Boost is a great material for training, especially for recreational runners. This Bounce material is essentially like a dense EVA foam. It's a bit heavy, but the upper is light, utilising a lot of features seen in adizero shoes (light mesh, tireana 'suede'). The material isn't really bouncy, in fact to get a good energy return from it you'd probably need to put a good amount of weight or pressure on them to activate any of that potential, but unlike Boost they are stable. Great for beginning runners, for sure. I wear 9.5 in Adidas runners, which are a bit big for my foot in general but accommodate foot splay and swelling so I can't say for sure whether these fit exactly as other 9.5 Adidas as I alwats have leeway. They don't fit remarkably different however. ... read more
It came time to replace my Nike Free running shoes and I thought that I'd give the Adidas Solar Boosts a try. I average 30-35 miles a month and prefer a light and flexible shoe so the Solar Boost has been a good choice. I've noticed the arch support is not as high as the Free but it's not a big deal for me. I hope to get 300 miles out of these. ... read more
This shoe is probably the most comfortable shoe I've ever bought. Comfort is very important because I work in retail and am on my feet nine hours, five days a week. This shoe is worth the money for runners or people who are constantly on their feet. ... read more

In Love With My Seven7 Bootcut Jeans
On the advice of my husband, I decided to order some jeans for myself from Dr. Jays, not something I would normally do because being someone of short stature and I would say a full-figured woman, it is hard, if not impossible to find a pair of jeans that fit all parts of my lower body the way they should. Either I get jeans that are a little loose in the waist and 5 inches too long, or muffin top jeans that are loose everywhere else.
I chose to order a pair of Seven7 Bootcut Jeans, a brand I don't usually wear, as I had the preconceived notion that they would only fit skinny-minis that are a size 4 or below. I don't think I have ever fit into that category, so it was to my surprise and delight when I came upon a pair that I thought might work for me. Seven7 jeans are a top-of-the-line brand so I expected the price to be 3x the price that was listed. At $41.99/pr. you can afford to get two! I went with one pair to try out the size. When I received them two days later, they looked great out of the package, with the back pockets embellished by a glossy bead looped design, not too showy, just adds a little pizazz. These jeans are low rise and boot-cut, great for me since I have a short waist and legs. Flared leg jeans on a short woman is not too flattering, so these were just perfect.
They fit true to its size, not so snug that I can't breathe but enough to show off the assets I do have, while the little bit of stretch in the jeans allow for ease of movement and ultra comfort. The only down-side is that they are about 3 inches too long so I will have to pay to get them hemmed, but at $41.99, I don't mind one bit.

9 Trends That Prove London's Still Got It
Given NYC is our home turf, New York Fashion Week always takes it out of us. But then, there's London right on its heels, promising a jolt of energy and fun, not unlike the perfect Red Bull martini. And while we've definitely seen wackier seasons, this past delivery for spring/summer 2010 still offered a respectable shock of craft and vibrancy. London has it all: The colors, the talent, the audacity, the wink, but in reviewing the shows, we found our favorite themes ran a simpler, possibly more sophisticated route. We loved the techy splash of acid yellow and the head-to-toe pastels, which it seems only a London designer can make feel totally edgy. And what of the futuristic tapestries and slinky satin pants? Well, London really has a style all its own.
1. Luxe Lame
Oh, panels of flowing gold, how we love thee! Jaeger, Richard Nicoll, and other assorted designers gave us not just splashes of metallic but big waves of it. And we say, bring it on.
Above, from left: Jaeger London; Richard Nicoll; Roksanda Ilincic; Richard Nicoll.
Generally, pastel shades put us into a coma, but not London's brand of Easter chic. Suited up in sharp jackets and trim trousers and with a touch of black contrasting, Burberry and Jonathan Saunders both managed to give soft shades some serious volume.
Above, from left: Burberry Prorsum; Jonathan Saunders; Roksanda Ilincic; Unique.
Sheer tops were definitely a favorite here in NYC, and it seems the English are in agreement: Marios Schwab and Matthew Williamson were among the designers to make see-through tops a totally transparent idea.
Above, from left: Marios Schwab; Matthew Williamson; Jonathan Saunders; Marios Schwab.
These days, who is not a sucker for perfectly tailored, slightly slouchy trousers? And add to that now, perfectly tailored, slightly slouchy trousers in satin or shimmery silk…well, wow! It's not the holy grail of innovation, but it's so simple and elegant, it still dazzles us.
Above, from left: Burberry Prorsum; Richard Nicoll; Antonio Berardi; Heikki Salonen.
In the popularity contest of shades, Yellow (and maybe Blue) really lead the charge. This season, we can thank a few forward-thinking designers for turning this lemony hue into electric lemonade.
Above, from left: Pringle of Scotland; Jonathan Saunders; Matthew Williamson; Pringle of Scotland.
We've got our eye on the current mutating state of body-con, and it seems the Brits are going the extra mile in perfecting this new art of the drape. A mix of ruching and wrapping, both Burberry and Richard Nicoll dazzled with their glamorous new take on body-con.
Above, from left: Peter Pilotto; Burberry Prorsum; Richard Nicoll; Burberry Prorsum.
Ever the ladies over here, we love some flash. And flash we got 10-fold from the likes of Roksanda Ilincic, Marios Schwab, and Nathan Jenden who all took these super-sized sparkling bits to the next level.
Above, from left: Nathan Jenden; Roksanda Ilincic; Fashion East; Marios Schwab.
Cropped Ts, jersey numbers, and side-laced athletic pants were just a few of the sporty-sexy styles designers like PPQ and Unique sent out into the field.
Above, from left: Unique; House of Holland; Unique; PPQ.
In the spirit of early Pucci or perhaps Cacharel or '50s Dior on acid, a handful of designers like Fashion East's Michael Van Der Ham and Peter Pilotto pieced together bold colors and textural fabrics in an eclectic and artful way. And adding in swipes of black for definition only added to statement.
