I don’t mind swinging gigantic swords at people!

It turns out, while Mortal Strike’s sustained DPS output is worse than what I could do as a protection warrior dual wielding, you can lay down a shitload of burst damage, own a field with enhanced mobility, and crush your opponents ability to escape with hamstring and piercing howl. My early foray in to PVP as a hard core tank is going well. I can gib! Even with my somewhat survival focused spec, I...

I’m a tank in the World of Warcraft. 95 days /played, 47 this level, and probably 98% of that I spent as a protection warrior that did nothing but solo grind as a dual wielder, pvp as a dual wielder, or tank behind a board.

Heck, expertise and hit rating beat strength in a tps shoot out. And they're right; but I consider the AP from strength and the crit rating and dodge from agility a luxury from the set pieces, and I adore it for that....

So I think I've figured out yet another reason why I hate PHP Object Generator.

$customerid=$_POST['customerid'];
$customer = new customer();
$customer->Get($customerid);
$customer->eye_color="hazel";
$customer->Save();

Works pretty well; I'm OK with that. But now, let's say you want to pull out that customer's address.

$address = new address();
$address->GetList( array(array('customerid','=',$customerid))...
