January 12th, 2008:	Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it!?!? But don't worry, I'm back, and updates will resume as usual. I'm still figuring out what happened while I was gone and am going through the email and submissions from that perioud to try and get everything fixed and restored. I'll do my best to get all pending submissions processed as normal, but feel totally free to resubmit things that you're worried may have gotten lost. Anyway, watch out for lots of new content soon, and I'll also be moving over the interviews that were published over the last few months elsewhere back to BME, but let me start with a new one -- please enjoy this interview with Howie (LunaCobra) about heavy modification. It may take a few days to get the software up and running again, both here and on IAM, but we are definitely back on a regular update schedule.
	January 17th, 2008:	Ok... Almost up and running! Today I'm posting the backlog of images processed in 2007 (although they'll be counted in the 2008 awards, don't worry about them being in limbo). Things aren't entirely back to normal yet so some site functions are offline, but do enjoy the big pile of images as well as the update. Over the next couple of weeks we should get completely caught up on pending submissions, and watch for more interviews as well. Thank you to everyone for your patience. Regular updates will begin again shortly.
	January 20th, 2008:	Ok... I'm finally able to get this posted! Please contact me via email at rachel@bmezine.com if you find any errors -- this is the first time that BME's ever been unupdated for this long, so along with that happening across a year-change, there could easily be problems. Regular updates should resume within the week.
	January 24th, 2008:	I still am not fully able to run the update software, but I didn't want people to have to wait for more images and stories, so I'm posting another 5,000 pictures and I think about 80 stories to tide you over. Hopefully I'll be able to do "perfect" updates soon, but there's lots of good stuff in these nonetheless, so I hope you still enjoy them. As always, please let me know if you see any technical issues I need to address. I have been having some problems with my email address here so feel free to write me at my personal address which is rachel@bmezine.com.
	January 25th, 2008:	Important note: Because of the nearly four-month backlog of content that's currently being processed, there are an enormous amount of duplicate submissions. I'm catching the majority as are the bots, but it's likely that many will slip through still. Please do feel free to email me these, and any other problems you see, so that I can correct them! Anyway, I decided to put up another 2,000+ images... Enjoy!
	January 26th, 2008:	Enjoy the update... Still chewing through this big backlog, so expect plenty of nice fat content for a while to come. I'm sure everyone reading this already knows, but ModBlog and BMEvideo are also back up and running at full steam!
	January 27th, 2008:	I just discovered a bug that causes new galleries to lose their descriptions when I'm working no a new update at the same time as uploading an old one. The bug is fixed, but I suspect there may be some damaged galleries (new ones, such as new miniportfolios). If you notice one, please drop me a line and I'll fix it ASAP.
	January 31st, 2008:	Tons of stuff today! A zillion images (I'm almost caught up), as well as a nice big pile of stories, including lots of multi-lingual ones. Hopefully as well in the next few days our commerce system will be back up and running finally. Also, I'm starting to move over the interviews I did while I didn't have BME access. Some of you will have seen these already, but they still need a permanent home, starting with: Martin: Genital Evolution, which is an amazing heavy genital modification interview.
	January 31st, 2008:	I think that some or all of the experiences posted on the first update of the year may not have been indexed correctly (so they won't show up on some of the directory pages). I'll fix that ASAP.
	February 4th, 2008:	Enjoy today's update, about 1,800 images with a couple of great BME/HARD bonus gallery updates (Kokomi and Black Cock), as well as another interview in the same vein as the last one. Check out: Impgrin: Inflations, about body and genital inflation, and the power of love. I'll have more for you tomorrow! Enjoy!
	February 5th, 2008:	Just a quickie update for you today! Enjoy the pictures, and I'll have more for you tomorrow.
	February 6th, 2008:	Plenty of new pictures for you today, and most of all, a massive update in the "Kitano" bonus gallery for fans of public nudity and beautiful girls from Japan!
	February 7th, 2008:	Just a few quick experiences as well this morning.

	February 13th, 2008:	A quick thousand experiences for you today! Enjoy... Stay turned for more interviews soon as well!
	February 14th, 2008:	I've got a lot of interviews on the go, so I wanted to quickly move over two more of the old BodyTwo interviews: Pain for Troy and Paul Oneball, which are both BME/HARD type interviews. Stay tuned over the next weeks for plenty more interviews!
	February 15th, 2008:	A quick set of pictures for your weekend enjoyment! See you again on Tuesday, as they've made Monday a new holiday here in Canada ("Family Day", which is precisely what I will be doing!).
	February 17th, 2008:	Enjoy today's update. It's "Family Day" here in Canada, so I'm spending today with my daughter rather than working, but there'll of course be another update tomorrow which will include some great interview content so be sure to cehck back.
	February 19th, 2008:	Enjoy today's experiences of course, and I've just posted another interview that I think is very much worth reading, especially for anyone interested in BIID issues: One Hand Jason
	February 20th, 2008:	As well as about two thousand new images, be sure to check out the first in a series of new interviews with tattoo artists, beginning with Fabrizio Divari
	February 21st, 2008:	First of all, be sure to check out the latest interview, with tattoo artist DJ Minor. In other good news, I will probably blast through all of the images in my queue tomorrow getting us 100% caught up (which will mean a slight slowdown in updates), giving me time to redo the front page, BME/News, and, with any luck, get back on IAM and start doing repairs and upgrades there as well. And, more interviews soon as well! Next in line is probably another lip plate piece! Check back soon.
	February 23rd, 2008:	Nice gigantic update for you today! Over two thousand new pictures (including about half in the members section), a handful of experiences, and yet another new interview, another in our series about lip discs, this time talking to G.C. and Duff: Evolution is Beautiful. Enjoy!
