By August 2008, we had left Voikovskaya and moved into a wooden dacha in the artists' colony of Sokol in north-west Moscow. The house was a haven amid the madness of the city: lily of the valley grew near our front gate, Virginia creeper decked the green picket fence.

All I can say is that you only realize how big your mountain is once you're laying motionless, helpless, and hopeless in the valley below. No one goes there on purpose, if you get what I'm saying, because the only way to find your personal low is to slip and roll down that mountain of yours, straight through to the bottom, no holds barred.

'Precious' is strangely uplifting. It goes down into the valley but it also goes to the mountain tops. A lot of difficult realities are explored in 'Precious,' but the peaks make the valleys and the valleys make the peaks.

Entrepreneurship is seen as if you're in Silicon Valley or New York City and starting an app business or a social-media business, which is cool.

Think of everything in Seattle - Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks. Then you go down to Silicon Valley - Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter. What does New York produce?

If God is not sending earthquakes, destroying economies and inflicting pain upon human beings, what is God doing? God works through people, calling them to help their neighbors in need. God comforts His people, walking with them even 'through the valley of the shadow of death.'

The thing we should all be looking for are people who want to make a difference. I'm a big believer in the Silicon Valley religion of the power of markets.

There's something known as the Uncanny Valley where things look a little too real and you're not quite sure what you're looking at. It becomes weird like it did in 'The Polar Express,' where the eyes seem so realistic, and yet you know it's animated.

Probably the one Bible passage that is read by Jews and Roman Catholics, Protestants, Islam, more than any other chapter is Psalm 23. And in Psalm 23 there is a verse that says, 'Surely, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.'

Sheep farming is heavily subsidized in Great Britain. Without the subsidies, the green grazing in the valley of the River Exe would be gone. The handsome agricultural landscape of which the British are so proud, carefully husbanded since Boudicca's day, would be replaced by natural growth. The most likely growth is real-estate developments.

'Crash' was incredibly personal to me. So was 'In the Valley of Elah.' There were things in 'The Next Three Days' that were questions I was asking myself but couldn't answer, like how far would you go for love? Can you believe in somebody who can't even believe in themselves? But this is highly personal.

You can't plan for people to like your movies. I knew that people were not going to run in droves to the theater for the 'In the Valley of Elah.' I knew they might not want to see it, but I still had to the movie; I felt very strongly about it. Wanting to keep telling a good story is what you want to do, a compelling story.

The perception in Silicon Valley is that if you dress well, you couldn't possibly be smart, or you're in P.R. but couldn't possibly run a company. I remember briefly attempting the Adidas and jeans and sweatshirt over T-shirt look, but I realized I was trying to dress like a young tech geek, and that just wasn't me.

We started playing better on defense and I think Eagle Valley got a little worn down. In the third and fourth quarters, they (Rifle) kept the intensity up, which I appreciate.

We are looking to make it five in a row after this match. The key is to peak at the right time and to hopefully peak in the early to middle of April. There is no reason why we can't win the Valley this year.

We started off pretty fired up and intense. The third or fourth game we started to unravel a bit. I was proud that we fought back. Valley is a very good team, and they're scrappy. They're a bit smaller than us, but they work hard.

What they're doing now is they're making their locals casinos a more upscale brand. Maybe they're stopping short of a Green Valley Ranch. But they're targeting areas of big growth in high-income neighborhoods like Southern Highlands.

We're keeping coaches in place. Dana Altman sets the example. He understands you can accomplish just as much at Creighton as you can at Big State U. His program has been in postseason play for eight consecutive seasons.

We didn't take it on the chin quite so badly. We take advantage of the fact we're here in Silicon Valley and we dig.

We have River Valley Monday and that's where it all begins. We haven't played them since Christmas and I'm sure both teams have improved. I know we have.

The people in the Valley are disappointed that they have such a huge drop-out rate, ... They tell me that their kids get lost when they drop out, and they cannot then catch on, and they don't go to vocational education. They just drift around. It's very hard for those kids to get jobs.

We have high expectations. Our goal is to become (Imperial Valley League) champions and hopefully get back to that CIF championship game.

Whenever you're playing against a team like Johnstown or even River Valley in the tournament, you've got to play your best game. We proved that last year when we went up against Highland in the first round and barely beat them (39-37). This time of year, there's no margin for error.

Silicon Valley has gone to India. I'm dead serious. A lot of the jobs and growth have gone offshore.

Silicon Valley has been following this saga for many years. Intel had the technology lead and the manufacturing lead, then it had the brand lead.

Silicon Valley has become a clearinghouse, an intermediate station on the way to producing products, ideas and companies.

The majority of these tips have resulted in felony arrests. All the counties in Alabama should have this tool available to them to help support their law enforcement agencies.
