We all have our beloved actors and our favorite movies. It is simply an opinion and no one is more right or more wrong we just all know what we like. However there are actors that we watch who are incredibly talented and there are others that are pretty boys and then there are the few that fit into both categories. There are also actors who along with being great entertainers they are also great men who use their reputation and notoriety to help the world.

Tom Hanks is an remarkable talent. It is rather outrageous that he got his start in a goofy TV show called “Bosom Buddies”. Later on he played an amazing role as Andrew Beckett, a gay lawyer who was infected by the AIDS virus and took on his own conservative law firm for firing him because of the fear that they may too contract the disease. Tom won his first Academy Award for that role in 1993.

Tom Hanks is only the second actor ever to win back-to-back Academy Awards as he again took home the Oscar the next year 1994 for his moving portrayal of Forrest Gump. The only other actor to do that was Spencer Tracy in 1937 and 1938. Tom has also entertained us with other wonderful movies but the list is too lengthy to cover.

Brad Pitt has been known for his pretty boy good looks since he first came on the scene in the 1991 film “Thelma and Louise”. Although he hasn’t always played the role of the good-looking boy. If you remember “Seven” and “Twelve Monkeys” both from 1985 you know what I mean. While the tabloid press seems to take his personal life and overshadow his movie roles, what is the most commendable thing about Brad Pitt is his pledge to humanitarian causes throughout the world. He continuously donates large sums of his wealth to help people that are less fortunate.

After Hurricane Katrina basically wiped out New Orleans, Brad Pitt started the “Make It Right Foundation” to aid in the redevelopment of the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. The foundation builds homes that are affordable, sustainable and true to the diverse culture of New Orleans. The goal was to accomplish the building of the homes immediately so that the residents could return home as soon as possible. That has been his true success.

Which reminds me of one more great actor who we lost just this past year. Paul Newman passed away on September 26, 2008. All through his life he entertained us with countless great movies including the “Road to Perdition” in 2002, “The Color Of Money” from 1986 and “Absence of Malice” from 1981. He also had the leading role in the well-known favorite “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” from clear back in 1969. Certainly, he was also in many other wonderful movies, too.

But we also remember him for his charity. In 1982 he created a line of food products called “Newman’s Own”. It began with a salad dressing and then extended to include pasta sauce, lemonade, popcorn, cookies, salsa and more. He established a policy that all of the proceeds generated from Newman’s Own, after taxes of course, would be donated to charity. As of 2006, the company had donated in excess of $250 million.

We will always have our favorite movies and our favorite actors and actresses. We may be fond of them because of their talent or for other reasons but now that we can download full-length, high quality movies immediately on the Internet at least we won’t have to miss any of their movies.

In WoW you can choose fishing as a secondary gathering profession in addition to your 2 primary professions. Fishing allows you to improve your hunting skills and lets you fish the various forms of aquatic life beneath the waters in WoW.

Through fishing you are able to find food and a range of other items. Hunter can use food to feed their pets and some items can be cooked to better their effects. Through fishing you can also find treasure chests and at times reagents which are useful for Alchemy.

If you have a character that is level 5 or above you’re able to fish. The first thing you need to do is get trained by your races fishing trainer. You’ll find this trainer at your races beginning fish pond.

Other trainers are scattered throughout WoW but to begin with you’ll need to go to the following locations:

Humans begin Fishing at Goldshire, Taurens near Bloodhoof Village, Gnomes to the North of Brownall Village, Dwarves also start just north of Brownall Village. The location where Orc’s and Trolls start out is just south of Sen’jin in the Sea, and the Undead begin in the lake east of Brill.

Night Elves can choose between 3 different fishing starting spots, the lake to the south of Dolenaar, the sea close to Rut’Theran Village, and the waters around Darnassus.

High level characters that are just starting out with fishing are able to start anywhere they please.

You might find it useful to grow your characters fishing ability in line with your character leveling. In other words, space out the fishing skill leveling across different levels. One tip that has worked well for some players is to max your fishing ability out at 150 for level 10, you’ll then be a powerful fighter with the fishing pole.

Fishing is an easy and useful profession to learn, all it requires is some patience. Once you have a high fishing skill however you will be able to fish the waters of Azshara and get massive payouts in short periods of time. Taking the time to master this profession usually pay’s off big time.
