Master Trainer Mike (MTM) and Master Trainer Pat (MTP) were both out of the office this week, so Dark Master Trainer Mike (DMTM) and Dark Apprentice Steve (DAS) were at the wheel this week.  There were some problems with the Chat Servers so the chat ended a bit early, but here's the news that's fit to print for this week.

Enjoy,

plan to horde them all, so don't bet on it."
