Ken, I actually have 2 physical hard drives in my computer, each formatted and partitioned into logical drives. Wikipedia says the following about it: Purposes for Partitioning * Separation of the operating system files from user files * Having an area for operating system virtual memory swapping/paging * Keeping frequently used programs and data near each other. * Having cache and log files separate from other files. These can change size dynamically and rapidly, potentially making a file system full. * Use of multi-booting setups, which allow users to have more than one operating system on a single computer. For example, one could install Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows or others on different partitions of the same hard disk and have a choice of booting into any operating system (supported by the hardware) at power-up. * Protecting or isolating files, to make it easier to recover a corrupted file system or operating system installation. If one partition is corrupted, none of the other file systems are affected, and the drive's data may still be salvageable. Having a separate partition for read-only data also reduces the chances of the file system on this partition becoming corrupted. * Raising overall computer performance on systems where smaller file systems are more efficient. For instance, large hard drives with only one NTFS file system typically have a very large sequentially-accessed Master File Table (MFT) and it generally takes more time to read this MFT than the smaller MFTs of smaller partitions. Also, ACDSee does the following: Get organized with ACDSee With ACDSee, organize the way that works best for you. Organize your Windows® file folders, add keywords and ratings, edit your metadata, and create your own categories. Assign images to as many categories as you like without duplicating files. NEW! Use multi-word keywords like ÂTrip to Mexico to make finding images even easier. So, while the file name stays as it was first assigned by the camera, through the use of keywords and categories you can perform easy searches. And yes, I do add the cultivar's name as a keyword and may add more than one to make it show up in more than just a search for its name only. If for example I want to search for pictures of Revolution unfurling I can quite easily do that.

Found this at the link below. Q. How long can bottled spices be kept; what is the shelf life? A. The good news is, spices do not spoil. The bad news is, they lose their strength. What is interesting is that a lot of cookbook writers tell you to purge your pantry once an herb or spice is about 6 months old. But the spice companies  among them behemoth McCormick and specialty spicer Penzeys  are not so reckless. They tell you to keep and use the spices as long as they appear to have flavor  and they trust you to be able to tell! Here is a link that might be useful: When Do Herbs & Spices Give Up the Ghost?

Teresa....this site will give some information about dates in history (and includes recent dates). Don't know if this is anything close to what your looking for but its a fun site to investigate.....sorry I couldn't help more.... ~Kathy~ Here is a link that might be useful: Fun site for dates in history....
