This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/921,014 filed Aug. 2, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,776,306, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/384,650 filed Aug. 27, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,902,083, which is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/879,997 filed Jun. 20, 1997 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,019,249, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/045,137 filed Apr. 30, 1997.
This invention relates to devices for dispensing medical items. Specifically, this invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing varied types of medical items in a system which controls and tracks the use of medical items.
Medical items used in the treatment of patients often need to be tracked. Such medical items may include medications as well as medical devices and appliances. Such medical items come in various forms and sizes. For example, medications may be in the form of pills, capsules or caplets which are orally ingested. Alternatively, medications may be in liquid form. Liquid medications may be ingested, injected or applied topically to the patient. Similarly, medical devices vary from tiny machines which are implantable in the patient to larger items such as syringes, suction tubes and the like.
In the past the use of medical items by patients has been tracked manually. Medical providers would maintain paper records of inventories of medical items. As medical items were used for or by a patient, the use would be recorded. Paperwork was generated both for purposes of tracking the patient's treatment as well as for inventory and billing purposes. The manual tracking of medical items by patients particularly in large facilities became complex.
In recent years automated systems for controlling, dispensing and tracking the use of medical items have been developed. An example of such a system is shown in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/361,783 filed Dec. 16, 1994 and which is owned by the Assignee of the present invention. Such automated systems enable a medical technician to avoid much of the paperwork associated with tracking the use of medications, maintaining adequate inventories and billing patients. In such systems information concerning patients, medical items prescribed for the patients and medical items available for use by patients are stored in a data store. A user of the system, which is generally a health care provider such as a nurse or physician, uses a display terminal to select a patient and the medical items for the patient. In response to the user's input at the display terminal, the requested medical items are dispensed from a dispenser. The health care provider takes the item for use by the patient.
In the system owned by the Assignee of the present invention, the dispense of a medical item for a patient is recorded for several purposes. Information representative of the use of the item is stored in correlation with the patient's medical information for tracking the course of treatment and recovery. The use of the medical item is also recorded for billing purposes. This enables the patient's account to be charged for the value of the medical item. The use of the medical item is also recorded for purposes of tracking available inventories at various locations. This is done to assure that adequate supplies of medical items are available for dispense where they are needed. The disclosure of U.S. Ser. No. 08/361,783 is incorporated herein by reference as if fully rewritten herein.
The use of automated systems for dispensing medical items has resulted in a need for dispensers which can dispense medical items accurately and reliably in response to electrical signals. Such dispensers optimally should be capable of dispensing a wide range of medical items having various sizes and configurations.
Medical science is advancing rapidly. As science advances new and different types of medical devices and medications become available. Dispensers for medical devices must optimally be adaptable to new and different configurations of medical devices. Dispensers must be frequently refilled. Therefore it is desirable for such dispensers to be readily reloaded. Inventory of the items in dispensers must be frequently taken. There is a need for facilitating visual verification of the type and quantity of items which are in inventory in a dispenser mechanism.
Dispensers which are capable of dispensing various types of medical items may present difficulties because certain items are fragile and subject to breakage. It is sometimes desirable to dispense several medical items together as part of a kit. Such a system is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/756,623 filed Nov. 26, 1996 which is owned by the Assignee of the present invention and the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Alternatively, health care providers may wish to dispense several different types of medical items in rapid succession, in which case several items will be delivered into a delivery location. If a fragile item is dispensed along with other items there is a possibility of breakage. Breakage is undesirable as it not only wastes a valuable medical item but may also contaminate the dispenser and may place it out of service until it can be cleaned. Thus, there is a need for medication dispensers that can dispense several types of medical items including fragile items together while minimizing the risk of breakage.
There is also a need to carefully monitor the use of narcotics. Steps are required by law to minimize the risk of theft of such items. It is desirable for medication dispensers to provide enhanced security which minimizes the risk that medical items may be taken from the dispenser through improper means. While enhanced security is desirable, authorized personnel who replenish medications or who service the dispenser should have ready access to the medications and dispenser mechanisms within the dispenser.
Thus, there exists a need for a dispenser for medical items that is capable of dispensing a wide variety of medical items, that reliably and accurately dispenses such items in response to electrical signals, that is easy to use and which provides enhanced security for preventing unauthorized access.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that reliably dispenses requested medical items in response to electrical signals.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that provides enhanced security.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that is capable of dispensing items of various types and sizes.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that includes dispenser modules that can be readily reloaded either in the dispenser or at remote locations.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that makes it easier to take inventory of the number of medical items remaining in the dispenser.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that includes interchangeable dispenser modules.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that minimizes the risk of damage to items being dispensed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for medical items that provides two independent ways for authorized personnel to gain access to the medical items and mechanisms housed in the dispenser.
Further objects of the present invention will be made apparent in the following Best Modes for Carrying Out Invention and the appended claims.
The foregoing objects are accomplished in a preferred embodiment of the invention by a dispenser apparatus that dispenses medical items. The dispenser apparatus includes an enclosure which bounds an interior area. The enclosure includes an opening to the interior area and a movable door which is movable between positions opening and closing the opening.
A plurality of dispenser modules are movably mounted on the enclosure. The dispenser modules are movable between first and second positions. In the first position the dispenser modules are housed within the enclosure and in the second position the dispenser modules extend through the opening when the door is in the open position. In the preferred form of the invention the dispenser modules in the second position may be replenished with medical items or disengaged from the dispenser and taken to a remote location for replenishment.
In a preferred form of the invention each dispenser module includes a holder for holding medical items and a dispenser mechanism for dispensing the items in the holder in response to electrical signals. The medical items are dispensed from each dispenser module at a dispense location. The dispenser modules are each mounted on guides which enable dispenser modules to be interchangeably positioned in the enclosure. When a dispenser module is in the first position within the enclosure, the dispense location of the module is positioned adjacent to a path. The path extends in the dispenser to a delivery area from which dispensed medical items may be taken by a user. The path includes at least one energy absorbing carom surface which slows and absorbs energy from dispensed items moving towards the delivery area to minimize the risk of breakage.
The dispenser modules and the path are configured to provide enhanced security. The configurations of the dispenser modules and the enclosure are such that improper efforts to gain access to the medical items will cause the path to be blocked. Holders and guides which are readily movable or disengaged from the dispenser modules when in the second position, cannot be moved or disengaged when the modules are in the first position.
The door of the dispenser includes a secure lock mechanism. In a preferred embodiment two independent modes are provided to enable authorized personnel to move the lock to an open condition. The modes include unlocking the lock in response to electrical signals. The lock may also be opened manually in the event that an electrical failure or malfunction of the electronic control system.
Referring now to the drawings and particularly to
Enclosure 12 has a door 16 movably mounted thereon. Door 16 is movable between a closed position shown in
Dispenser 10 further includes a delivery area generally indicated 20. Medical items dispensed from dispenser 10 are accessible to a user in the delivery area as later described in detail.
As shown in
As shown in
Shown positioned within enclosure 12 in
The dispenser modules 24 are controlled by electrical signals which are delivered through a plurality of wiring harnesses generally indicated 32. Wiring harnesses 32 extend in the interior area 14 of enclosure 12. Each wiring harnesses 32 terminates in a connector end 34. Connector ends 34 are engageable with coupling ends on the dispenser modules and provide a quick connect/disconnect electrical coupling for connecting each wiring harness to a dispenser module.
Dispenser modules 28 and 30 each include a pair of spring-loaded latching levers adjacent to the front ends thereof. Latching levers 36 extend on dispenser module 28. Similarly, a latching lever 38 extends on dispenser module 30. The latching levers 36 and 38 are movably mounted about pivots 40 and 42, respectively. The latching levers are biased downwardly by springs to engage latching pins 44 which extend adjacent to each of guides 26. The engagement of the latching levers with the latching pins holds the dispenser modules in position to dispense medical items within enclosure 12. Latching levers 36 each include a release portion 46. Release portion 46 is manually movable to cause latching lever 36 to disengage from a latching pin 44. Latching lever 36 and release portion 46 are shown in greater detail in
Dispenser module 28 includes a dispense location generally indicated 50, which is adjacent to a front end thereof. Dispense location 50 is where medical items are dispensed from the dispenser module 28. Dispenser module 30 also includes a dispense location generally indicated 52. Dispense location 52 is similarly located adjacent to a front end of dispenser module 30. When the dispenser modules are positioned in the dispenser, dispense locations 50 and 52 extend adjacent to a path generally indicated 54. Path 54 extends from the dispense locations on the dispenser modules to the delivery area 20. Delivery area 20 includes a pocket generally indicated 56.
Path 54 is bounded in an area adjacent to the dispenser modules by an interior surface 58 of door 16. In the operative position of the dispenser modules the dispense locations thereof are disposed not only upwardly, but also in closer proximity to the interior surface of the door with increasing proximity to the top of the dispenser. This minimizes the risk that medical items dispensed from a dispenser module located vertically above other dispenser modules will engage or otherwise interfere with the lower dispenser modules or items being dispensed therefrom.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is enabled to be used with various types and sizes of medical items. When several medical items are being dispensed together as part of a kit, such as disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/756,623 filed Nov. 26, 1996 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, several items may be dispensed from the dispense locations into path 54 simultaneously. Such medical items will all move downward in path 54 and collect in pocket 56 of the delivery area. Several medical items may also collect in pocket 56 when medical items are dispensed in rapid succession. Because certain medical items may be fragile or subject to breakage, there is a risk that medical items may impact one another and break or otherwise be damaged.
The risk of damage to dispensed medical items is minimized in a preferred embodiment of the present invention by an angled carom surface 60 at a lower end of path 54. Carom surface 60 is positioned in a throat area generally indicated 62, wherein path 54 narrows horizontally (see
Items which have engaged the carom surface fall downwardly through an elbow area 64 in path 54 and are directed into pocket 56. To minimize possible damage due to forward momentum from engagement with carom surface 60 and the surface bounding elbow area 64, pocket 56 includes a stop surface 66 which is coated with energy absorbing material. The interior surface of door 16 includes a guide 58 attached thereto. Guide 58 is preferably comprised of plastic material and directs medical items in the path 54 to engage carom surface 60. The guide 58 provides smoother and quieter dispensing operation and minimizes the risk of damage to dispensed medical items.
As can be appreciated from
The configuration of path 54 provides enhanced security against improper access to the medical items in the dispenser modules 24. The opening to delivery area 20 is relatively small to restrict access into the interior area of the dispenser. Elbow area 64 is turned and throat area 62 is sufficiently small that a person attempting to pass a hand or tool upwardly therein to reach the dispenser modules would find it difficult to do so. Attempts by such a person to dislodge medications held in the dispenser modules are not likely to disengage the latching levers from latching pins 44 because there are two latches holding each dispenser module in position. However, if a dispenser module is unlatched the dispenser module will move forwardly on guides 26 due to the force of gravity. An unlatched dispenser module will move in a forward direction until it engages the guide 58 which comprises an interior face of the door. A dispenser module in this position blocks the path 54. This prevents an unauthorized person from gaining access through the path to the medical items housed on the dislodged dispenser module or on dispenser modules located above the dislodged dispenser module. The unlatched dispenser module renders the dispenser module at least partially inoperative and its improper position is apparent to a person opening the door to the dispenser. This provides an indication of tampering. Each of the dispenser modules 28 and 30 includes further features for preventing the unauthorized access to medications therein which are hereinafter described.
A fundamental aspect of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the dispenser modules 24 are selectively movable for purposes of loading the dispenser modules with medical items or inventorying items housed thereon. As shown in
The guides 26 on which the dispenser modules 24 are mounted preferably include stops. The stops limit the outward travel of the dispenser modules through the opening to a distance sufficient for purposes of replenishment or inventorying the medical items thereon. The guides normally hold the dispenser modules through the guide tracks, and limit movement of the modules to sliding motion along the direction of the guides. However as shown in
One embodiment of dispenser module 28 is now described with reference to
As shown in
It should be appreciated that although all six of the helixes 74 shown in dispenser 28 in
A novel aspect of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is that each helix is secured in position by a u-shaped holder guide 86. Each holder guide includes a first portion 88 which extends in a longitudinal direction in an interior area of the helix 74. Each holder guide further includes a second portion 90. Second portion 90 extends in the longitudinal direction in an exterior area of the helix 74. In the preferred form of the invention second portion 90 includes an engaging end 92 which is movably positionable in an opening in a wall that extends adjacent to helix 74.
As shown in
Guide wall 94 includes a pair of notches 98 at its forward end. Closed end portion 96 in the operative position extends through one of notches 98. Guide wall 94 also includes a tab 100 adjacent to its outward end. Tab 100 includes a pair of apertures 102. Holder guide 86 also extends through one of the apertures 102. This further helps to position the holder guide in a proper location as well as to constrain its movement.
Unauthorized persons attempting to obtain the medical items housed within the dispenser 10 may seek to dislodge the medical items held on the helixes 74. The holder guides 86 are operative to minimize the chance that this may occur. The first portion 88 of the holder guides which extends in the interior area of the helix prevents the helix from being disengaged from the holder guide 86. In addition, the closed end portion 96 prevents significant movement of the helix outwardly so that few if any medical items can be dislodged by using a tool that attempts to pull outwardly on the helix. A further aspect of the holder guides is that the engagement of the closed end portion 96 in one of notches 98 and apertures 102 makes it difficult to engage the holder guide when it is in position within the enclosure.
If by chance the engaging end 92 is disengaged from the opening to which it is releasibly attached by a person attempting to compromise the dispenser, the holder guide is constrained to move forwardly by the aperture 102. Any such attempted forward movement of the holder guide is limited by engagement of the holder guide with the interior surface 58 of the door 16 when the door is in the closed position. As a result, in the unlikely event that an unauthorized person is successful in dislodging the holder guide, the distance that the helix may be moved is very limited and the number of medical items that could be obtained in this manner is limited.
Authorized personnel who open the door 16 of the enclosure are enabled to readily remove the holder guide. This is accomplished because in the open position of the door the holder guide is enabled to be moved forwardly through the aperture 102 an unlimited amount. This is done when reconfiguring the dispenser module 28 by installing a different sized helix. It should be noted that the purpose of the multiple notches 98 and apertures 102 on guide wall 94 is to enable the holder guide 86 to be selectively positioned so as to extend in the proper location in the interior area of the helix. In addition, multiple openings are provided for engaging end 92 so it may be positioned in alignment with the notches and apertures in which the holder guide is positioned. This enables an authorized person to rapidly change the size and type helixes used in the dispenser module 28.
Dispenser module 28 further includes a plurality of guides 104. Each guide 104 which is shown in greater detail in
Dispenser module 28 includes a supporting surface generally indicated 106 which in the embodiment of the invention shown, extends across the bottom of the dispenser module 28. Supporting surface 106 includes a plurality of first slots 108 which are uniformly spaced thereon. Supporting surface 106 further includes second slots 110 disposed rearwardly and in alignment with each of first slots 108.
Dispenser module 28 further includes support brackets 112. Support brackets 112 include a vertically extending wall portion which extends adjacent to spool 78. Support bracket 112 further includes a generally horizontally extending wall portion which includes third slots 114 therein. Third slots 114 extend in aligned relation with second slots 110. In addition, third slots 114 extend downwardly a portion of the length of the vertically extending wall portion.
Guide 104 includes a hook portion 116 adjacent a first end. Guide 104 further includes a rear tab 118 and a finger portion 120. The downward and rearward configuration of tab portion 116 is operative to minimize the risk that guide 104 when engaged on dispenser module 28, can be disengaged by unauthorized persons attempting to gain access to the medical items in the dispenser. This is because the hook portion 116 when engaged in a first slot 108, cannot be readily moved out of engagement with the slot unless the guide is moved substantially upwardly adjacent to the rear tab 118 and finger portion 120. In the operative position of the dispenser module within enclosure 12 such upward movement is prevented either by an adjacent dispenser module, or in the case of an uppermost dispenser module by an interior wall bounding the enclosure.
As will be appreciated from
The installation of guide 104 requires that portion 116 be first engaged in one of first slots 108. Because of the configuration of hook portion 116 the engagement of the hook portion requires that the end of guide 104 including the finger portion be substantially raised relative to the supporting surface 106. Once the hook portion is engaged with a first slot 108, the opposed end of guide 104 is moved downwardly. As this is done rear tab 118 engages an aligned second slot 110. Finger portion 120 extends in an aligned third slot 114 and it is engaged to the vertically extending wall portion. This engagement at three points holds the guide 104 in position.
Conversely, the removal of the guide requires first raising the end of the guide containing rear tab 118 and finger 120. Only after the end of guide 104 opposed from hook portion 116 has been sufficiently raised can the hook portion be disengaged from first slot 108. This is readily accomplished when the dispenser module 28 is in the position shown in
As shown in
A further fundamental advantage of the preferred form of dispenser module 28, is that supporting surface 106 serves as a reference surface with indicia thereon which helps a user to readily determine the number of medical items being held in a helix.
The use of the indicia in the preferred embodiment avoids the need for a user to have to count medical items held in a helix. This greatly reduces the time necessary for purposes of taking inventory. Further, the indicia presents the advantage that nothing must be changed when a helix which serves as a holder for the medical items is replaced with a different sized helix, which may need to be done for purposes of reconfiguring the system. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the indicia corresponding to different sized helixes may be presented in contrasting colors to make more apparent the number of items remaining to be dispensed.
As previously discussed, the preferred embodiment of dispenser module 28 may be configured in numerous ways to accommodate different sizes and types of medical items. An alternatively configured dispenser module generally indicated 128 is shown in
Spools 132 and 136 are each driven by a rotating mechanism in increments of one turn in a manner previously discussed. However the rotating mechanisms are configured to rotate in opposite directions. Medical items which extend across holder 124 and engage each of helixes 126 and 130 are moved uniformly in an outward direction until they disengage the free ends of the helixes and fall into path 54 of the dispenser.
Dispenser module 128 is configured to hold larger sized medical items than those which are held in the three other holders and associated helixes thereon. For example, holder 124 may be used to hold and dispense cards with a plurality of capsules and pills. Alternatively, holder 124 may be used to dispense medical items such as syringes or medical appliances.
It is a fundamental advantage of the preferred embodiment of the present invention that the dispenser modules may be configured for holding and dispensing medical items of various sizes, including those items which extend a substantial width. The only limiting factor for purposes of dispensing items is the width of items that are enabled to pass through the throat area 62 of the path 54 and into the pocket 56. Of course, in modified versions of the invention which are specifically adapted for dispensing large items the dispenser module of the type shown in
Alternative configurations for portions of dispenser modules are shown in
A guide 192 is positioned adjacent to helix 186. Guide 192 is similar to guides 104. Guide 192 is positioned to engage medical items 194. Medical items 194 are generally cylindrical items such as vials, ampules or other similar types of containers.
A limiting member 196 is positioned on holder guide 188 in the area inside the helix 186. Limiting member 196 which is shown in more detail in
The limiting member 198 functions to occupy a sufficient area within the interior of the helix so that the medical item 194 positioned at the front of the helix cannot fall through the central opening of the helix. This ensures that a medical item will be dispensed only upon the proper rotation of helix 186. The limiting member 196 is particularly useful when the items being dispensed are relatively small compared to the inside diameter of the helix. The limiting member 196 may be readily removed to reconfigure the dispensing module to handle other types of medical items for which the limiting member is not required.
An alternative configuration for a portion of a dispensing module is shown in
A wall 212 is positioned adjacent to the helix 208 and supports the holder guide 210 in a manner similar to that previously described. A helix guide 214 is positioned adjacent to helix 208 on a side opposite wall 212. The helix guide 214 which is shown in greater detail in
The helix guide provides support for helix 208 to hold it in proper position. It also operates to maintain the medical items 206 in a desirable position with one end disposed upward from the supporting surface. Positioning the medical items in this manner increases dispensing reliability. As also indicated in
Dispenser module 30 is shown in greater detail in

As best shown in
A follower 164 is used in connection with a stack of vials 70 to assure that the vials move downwardly as they are dispensed. The follower 164 is a generally cylindrical weighted member that is rotatably movable in engaged relation with the medical items in the stack.
As best shown in
As will be appreciated with reference to
An alternative follower 232 is shown in
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes features which provide greater security against access to the medical items stored therein by unauthorized personnel, it is important that authorized personnel have ready access to the interior area 14 of enclosure 12 for purposes of replenishing medical items, taking inventory or repairing dispenser modules. The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the lock 22 which selectively enables or prevents the opening of door 16.
As best shown with reference to
When door 16 is moved from the open to the closed position, locking post 168 moves into slot 170. As locking post 168 moves into the slot it engages the locking pawl 172 and moves it to a position shown in
A fundamental advantage of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is that lock 22 once in a locked condition, may be moved to an unlocked condition by two independent unlocking mechanisms. This is advantageous because an authorized user is enabled to open door 16 using one of two secure methods. The first unlocking mechanism includes an electrically actuated solenoid 174. In response to an electrical signal, solenoid 174 is operative to move an actuator 176 of the solenoid in an inward direction relative to the solenoid, as shown in
Lock 22 further includes a second unlocking mechanism which includes a mechanism that is operative to unlock the lock in response to manual manipulation. The second unlocking mechanism includes a lock cylinder 180, which has a member 182 in connection therewith. Member 182 is enabled to be rotated by insertion of a proper key (not shown) into lock cylinder 180. Upon rotation of the key in the lock cylinder, member 182 engages actuator 176 and moves it in a manner similar to that achieved by solenoid 174. This enables unlocking lock 22 with a key.
In the system of the preferred embodiment, an authorized user who is entitled to have access to the interior area of dispenser 10 inputs data into a display terminal which identifies the user as authorized to open the dispenser. The user then inputs appropriate commands. In response to the input of the proper commands, the display terminal outputs electrical signals which are eventually transmitted to solenoid 174, which changes lock 22 from a locked to an unlocked condition. This is generally the manner in which an authorized user will gain access to the interior area of the dispenser.
In the event of a malfunction which renders the display terminal inoperative or otherwise prevents the actuation of solenoid 174, an authorized user is provided with a key for lock cylinder 180. The insertion of the key enables opening the door 16 to accomplish the desired activity. Of course, in other embodiments enhanced security may be provided by including two different key locks and an appropriate mechanism for tying together the key locks so that both must be turned by different keys in order to open the door 16. It should also be understood that while the preferred method of manual manipulation used for unlocking the lock 22 is a key, in other embodiments other manually manipulatable locking mechanisms may be used. These may include for example, combination locks.
A sensing switch indicated 234 is positioned in the interior of the dispenser. When the door 16 is closed the switch is in contact with a strike 236. When the door opens the strike no longer contacts the switch. The switch 234 is operative to indicate to the display terminal and the rest of the system whether the door is open or closed. The switch may be used to verify whether valid or invalid access has been gained to the dispenser.
If electronic access to the dispenser has been granted, the switch 234 verifies that the door 16 is opened. Likewise, it verifies that the door is closed when a user authorized to have access to the dispenser indicates to the display terminal they have completed their activity inside the dispenser. If key access is attained, a signal is generated by switch 234 which is received at the display terminal. The programming of the system preferably requires verification either immediately or subsequently that such key access is authorized.
Switch 234 also provides a signal which can be used to provide an indication that the dispenser has been accessed. This can be done with the system which includes the display terminal to indicate at devices or terminals connected to the system that the dispenser has been opened. Alternatively or in addition, switch 234 can be connected to a totally separate security system which monitors access to the dispensers in the system.
As will be appreciated from the foregoing description the preferred embodiment of the dispenser of the present invention provides flexibility in terms of reliably dispensing a wide variety of sizes and types of medical items. The dispenser is constructed to provide enhanced security against access to the medical items stored therein by unauthorized persons. However authorized persons are readily enabled to gain access to the dispenser.
Thus, the new dispensing apparatus for medical items achieves the above stated objectives, eliminates difficulties encountered in the use of prior devices and systems, solves problems and attains the desirable results described herein.
In the foregoing description certain terms have been used for brevity, clarity and understanding, however no unnecessary limitations are to be implied therefrom because such terms are for descriptive purposes and are intended to be broadly construed. Moreover, the descriptions and illustrations herein are by way of examples and the invention is not limited to the exact details shown and described.
In the following claims any feature described as a means for performing a function shall be construed as encompassing any means capable of performing the recited function and shall not be deemed to be limited to the particular means shown in the foregoing description or mere equivalents thereof.
Having described the features, discoveries and principles of the invention, the manner in which it is constructed and operated, and the advantages and useful results attained; the new and useful structures, devices, elements, arrangements, parts, combinations, systems, equipment, operations, methods, processes and relationships are set forth in the appended claims.

'Agency' is the term that distinguishes whether a real estate professional represents a buyer or seller. Most transactions in San Francisco have two real estate agents facilitating the transaction for the buyer and seller.
A buyers' agent works exclusively for a buyer and does not represent the seller.
A sellers' agent, the listing agent, works exclusively for a seller and does not represent a buyer.
A dual agent is when one brokerage represents both parties in a transaction. This can occur with one agent representing both buyer and seller, or with two agents from the same brokerage-one working with the buyer and one working with the seller.
Having two agents in a transaction generally makes both buyer and seller feel more comfortable during negotiation, so that each can feel they can speak freely to the their agent without the other party knowing what they have said, are willing to sell for, or what they are willing to pay.

Have been trying to do my research for a 3 night 2 day stay in mid-August==19th-22, so after Elvis Week. It is mainly a bbq trip though I'd like to add some soul type food because 3 days of straight bbq will be tough. We did a similar trip to Kansas City about 2 years ago. We will be staying downtown and will have a car. Thoughts please!
Breakfasts: Barkdales, Bryants and Brother Junipers
Lunches and Dinners: Gus' or Uncle Lous. I dont do spicy so I'm thinking Uncle Lous?
Flying Fish or Soul Fish. Was leaning towards Soul Fish but now am thinking Flying has a more extensive menu. Better food?
BBQ: in no order cant decide between Paynes, BBQ Shop, Central, Rendezvous, Cozy Corner. Husband likes fall off the bone, I like something with a bit of chew. Not interested in bbq spaghetti. Rendezvous seems to get some more mixed reviews than the others.
If we do something nicer sounds like Restaurant Iris is the one. We live near Chicago so nice but 'normal' not a necessity.
We will be doing Graceland probably half a day, city tour, river boat tour (?), maybe the Gibson factory tour, walking Beale street or trolley, the Rock and Soul Museum. Belz Museum I'd like but probably not. Thoughts on stuff to do and locations close to our main focus (eating) appreciated!

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Game recently called in to Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show to talk about being detained in Canada. Customs officials took him in after he arrived in Canada and accused him of being affiliated with organized crime.
"It was crazy. They let me see the paperwork for why they were holding me and it said like, 'This person is in Canada. He's kingpin of a gang of Bloods and he came to rally up Bloods and to bring new Bloods to the concert.' They just made it seem like it was a cult," says Game.
Though there was speculation that the rapper could spend 14 days there, officials (who Game says were waiting for him as he deplaned), kept him for just two. "From my girl to just everybody was on it. We finally had to get a signature from the secretary of state saying that all of my crimes I committed in the past were done with. I served my time, I was off probation, no parole, everything was dead so they ended up letting me go."
Over the weekend, Game appeared on stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with Lil Wayne for his I Am Still Music tour.
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Each of the men could be served a life sentence in prison.

In a brand new interview with METALLICA's fan club magazine So What!, James Hetfield spoke about catching a concert by IRON MAIDEN while his band was basing itself in Toronto, Ontario, Canada during a recent leg of its "WorldWired" North American tour.He said (see video below): "Well, obviously hanging out with the MAIDEN guys always brings back great memories. I mean, it's just weird to remember, you know, 1981 possibly? Hanging out in Hollywood, California, driving around with Ron McGovney [original METALLICA bassist], me and Lars [Ulrich, METALLICA drummer] in the backseat, and seeing Steve Harris [IRON MAIDEN bassist] walk down the street and us, you know, dorky, shy metalheads [shouting], 'Hey, Steve!' And he actually turns around and starts walking towards us with a ['okay, who said that? kind of] thing. That was, like, our first brush with somebody kinda cool and famous, so that always stuck with me. Yeah, Steve Harris, a super-down-to-earth, really cool guy. And nothing has changed. I mean, he showed up at the show that we did [in Québec City]." He continued: "It's really cool when other musicians are hanging out, watching you do what you do. It takes to another level. You've gotta kind of go to Olympic mode — you step it up. Our setlist was at least five minutes faster, the set time. Lars was so nervous: 'Oh, my God! Steve Harris is watching me!' [I was even a bit], 'Does this part sound too much like IRON MAIDEN?' "Usually halfway through the show, you figure, 'Okay, he's gone and he's moved on to the next thing,' but no — for the whole show [Steve] was standing there; the whole show, to the very end. And not only was he there the whole time, he got in the vehicles with us [laughs], came to the hotel with us. [Just a] super-cool guy. And then we got to go see them a couple of days later. And likewise, [MAIDEN was] super hospitable there." The North American leg of METALLICA's "WorldWired" trek will hit stadiums in four more cities before ending in mid-August. The next stop on the tour is Seattle, Washington on August 9. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame band is touring in support of its tenth studio album, "Hardwired... To Self-Destruct", which came out last November.
METALLICA's JAMES HETFIELD Says IRON MAIDEN's STEVE HARRIS Is 'A Super-Down-To-Earth, Really Cool Guy'

I've wanted to get my hands on that L'Oreal Solution for absolute ages but I can't seem to find it where I live :(ReplyDelete
And I've actually just finished "The Cuckoo's Calling" the day before yesterday and it was freaking AMAZING! One of the best crime novels I've read in years and I've read quite a lot. I hope you'll enjoy it as well! By the way, I can totally relate with how you shop, it's the same with me. Although I'm regularly in town by now, I always have to restrain myself so much, haha.
I really need to stop shopping like this though, it usually means I buy expensive things I don't want and then don't have the money for the smaller items I really DO want. At least I can start working on it now!Delete
Oooohhh yayyyy I am very excited about Cuckoo's Calling, even more so now :D
Oh my, Waterstones is just bliss isn't it?! I utterly adore it, if I could walk in there every day I would be happier, ha ha!ReplyDelete
The L'Oreal Solution is new to me, but it looks very interesting!
Glad to see things looking up for you!
Love, Lou xxx
It's a beautiful shop, I love it a LOT.Delete
Hey Jasmine!ReplyDelete
I replied to your comment over on my blog if you wanted to check that out!
I literally just saw an advert on TV for the new L'Oreal Skin Perfection range and was like I have to try it! So I will look out for the Purifying Solution next time I'm out. Would love to hear how you like it in a later post.

Due to its limited natural resources, Tunisia has focused on strengthening its human potential. The bulk of the national budget has been allocated to education, health-care, housing and social services. The private sector is encouraged to play a leading role in economic growth and, as a result, Tunisians have created a modern, diversified market-oriented economy based on an efficient agricultural sector, a growing manufacturing sector, and athriving tourism industry.
Tunisia's GNP and social indicators have risen steadily since independence, averaging more than 3% annually in recent years and has also been reducing its debt levels. During the last years, international financial institutions have frequently cited Tunisia as "a model for success" highlighting its middle class underpinnings, generally well-functioning institutions, low poverty rates, and relatively well-educated population, especially when compared with other countries in the region.
The main Tunisian exports are crude oil, minerals, manufactured goods, and agricultural products, including its internationally renowned olive oil. Its primary trading partners are France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Maghreb countries.

Hi, I am going to try to travel through Europe for the first time this Summer. I will be traveling for the whole month of July plus a couple days. I will be going as I said for the first time. I will be going with my two girls. Who are mature young preteen and a teen. This is the line up I am thinking of doing going from the midwest of the USA to Greece, up to Italy, to France, to the UK.
Ok, so my first start was overwhelming to being with WHERE! so staring at a map for weeks on end gave me a good idea that this could work.
I need huge suggestions, non to small non to large in response! the hows, whens, wheres... I have major countries down, the actual cities or areas are still up for grabs, I know I want to see Paris. That is the only thing set as an actual. I have never done an open Jaw like ticket, I would love to travel by train probably inbetween places, I will obviously need to get to Italy either by plane or water from Greece same thing from France to the UK...
So talk to me about accommodations, travel vehicles... cities that would make sense?
I have a budget of about 20k

Greece-Italy-France-UK 35 days

Before you commit to doing these countries I think you need to do some work on exactly what places you want to go and what you want to see there. 35 days sounds like a huge amount of time - but for 4 countries it isn;t - although it is for 4 cities.
For people to help you you need to tell us more about yourselves:
Major interests
What type of hotel you usually stay in (modest chain or nicer center city hotel with services)
How you usually travel (fast food meals or nicer dinners)
As for your budget - assuming airfare is $1500 each you will have $15,500 left - or about 300 euros per day. This isn;t tight - but neither is it generous, assuming you have to pay for transit between cities (you would probably fly from Greece to Italy and possibly Italy to Paris, but take the train from Paris to London), lodgings for 3 (triple rooms will be more expensive), meals/snacks, local transit and entry fees to sights (surprisingly expensive for many - Tower of London is about $32 for adults and $16 each for kids, Eiffel Tower is about $20 per person).
(For perspective we travel at a 4* - but definitely NOT luxury level - and a room for 2 in a pleasant central hotel can easily be 300 euros per night).
Report Abuse
great questions! thank you. My budget isn't tight at that amount. I can be a bit liberal with it but would prefer to stay closer to it than much much over. So 20-23
I agree that it sounds like a lot of time, but again I am thinking reality for that length of a trip.
Ok, we would like to stay at a mix of accommodations. I would love to have a real European feel of a bed and breakfast, but at the same time a private bath would be probably more realistic as well. Clean, safe family friendly. Since it will be myself, a Mom and her Two girls traveling.
Food... We are adventurous and will NOT be eating fast food or chains. We would have an expensive meal once in each "country" But street food, markets, picnics, cafe's, bistro's are the way we eat as Americans so put us in Europe? like a kid in a candy shop! I grew up in NYC in a European family and eating environment. We live in the Midwest now, and my kids are thought as weird, because they eat any part of the animal, and all creatures of the land and sea.
Entertainment, would be art, music, beaches, and FOOD. Those are our likes in our daily lives, and want to experience it world wide.
Does that help in helping me!!!! What cities, yes I have it now down to what countries are the huge wants, now what towns or cities. Paris and London are two top big cities. I don't have to stay in only big cities though. How many towns or cities should I realistically stick too? What sorts of places or websites can you help direct me to to start further research on? Travel groups? Travel sites?
Listening and thank you for the great start of questions that helps me start my own question making!
Report Abuse
You've picked those countries/cities for a reason. Are there specific things you want to experience in each of them. The Greek mainland is very different to the islands and both are beautiful. France and Italy (and UK for that matter) have more than you could see in a life time of visits. There are a million different itineraries you could make to cover these countries. For me personally, I would drop one country entirely to make for a more relaxing stay. And generally it's more helpful to think in terms of regions rather than countries. I also plan in nights rather than days and allow at least half a day to move between locations. I prefer to have a minimum of 3 nights/two days in each place but of course everyone is different. The longer you stay in a place, the more you'll get out of it.
Some good travel guides (e.g. Rough Guide, Lonely Planet) will be your best friend. The internet is fantastic for answering specific questions, as are forums like this. Google images can also give you a feel for the visuals of a place, as will photographic books. No one is really going to be able to tell you what you'll enjoy most.
If London and Paris are definites, then I'd plan at least 5 nights in each. If you have 35 days in total (plus travel time to get there and back), then you need to break up your remaining time into, say, maximum 8 places. For a first time visit, perhaps plan on one city and one small town location in each country?
There are flights from some of the Greek islands to other parts of Europe (e.g. Rhodes, Santorini) - try amadeus.net or skyscanner for starters. Ferries between Italy and Greece will take quite a long time but are an adventure in themselves. Each country has their own train websites but bahn.de is a good start for timetables. Local bus timetables are generally also available online.
We stay in modest but clean, comfortable, well-located hotels or apartments with private bathrooms and rarely spend more than 100euro per night for 2 people. Some places, like Venice can be more expensive simply due to demand. My son and I once stayed in a private home (bathroom shared with one other room) in Heidelberg, within spitting distance of the old bridge for about 45euro. However, to get the best prices and rooms, you need to research and book early. Try booking.com and venere.com for a start.
Enjoy the planning as it's part of the fun of a holiday!

That's 4 countries in 35 days which would give you an average of 8-9 days for each. In my opinion that's simply not enough time in any of the four.
At first blush, 35 days may sound like a lot but if you keep moving around, the actual amount of time you spend IN places rather than in BETWEEN places is not that much.
In travel as in many things, less is more. Move less, see/do more.
If all you wanted to do was visit 4 cities your time might be OK but to do more than that in any of those countries, it's simply not enough time overall. So I agree with dropping at LEAST one country from your list.
If you take a number of days/nights per stop as a guideline then you can start to work towards a list of places to visit. Personally, I consider 3 full days/4 nights a MINIMUM number for planning. Most people would agree that places such as London, Paris or Rome need more than 3 full days, so it really is a minimum. The 4 nights allows for travel time between places. Counting just days often means people forget to allow for travel time in between.
So with 35 days minus your arrival and departure day which are always basically a write-off, you have 33 days/nights to play with. That means you should not plan on more than 8 stops including your arrival and departure cities.
As for where those stops should be, that depends on YOUR interests, not someone else's. Asking others where they would stop is really meaningless. Decide on the countries you want to visit and then do your OWN research online or by reading guidebooks to determine where you will want to go. Once you have done that, you can ask intelligent questions about those specific places. ie. where to stay given a defined criteria of budget, ammenities, etc.
For example you might decide to fly to Athens and transfer immediately to an island for a week. Then return to Athens for a few days to see the sights there before flying to Rome for a week. An overnight train to Paris and 5 days there before taking the Eurostar to London, switching to a rental car and spending a few days exploring the Cotswolds before returning to London for 5 days or so and your flight home. Times up, as easy as that.
On the other hand it might be better to do it in reverse and end with a week on a Greek island to relax before heading home.
There are countless possibilities but YOU have to narrow it down a bit first. As is, your asking what you are at this point is simply too vague. Get the general outline decided in YOUR own mind, then ask for input.

Great trip! Lucky daughters! Start homework NOW, in order to manage within your budget, and listen to dreamon! That advice is right on. My minor add-ons:
(1)Researching only on internet is like trying to get a drink from a fire hose; you drown but are still thirsty. Those 2 guide books (for each country) are indeed the best for logistics & sightseeing, ;but u don't need very latest editions. Do not walk, RUN, to nearest library for copies; after that, forums like this can help w. specific hotel & food queries.
(2)For itinerary, I find a planning calendar with a "Box" for each day helps one to be realistic about actual time involved for activities and transit (I print many copies from free online site -- http://www.printfree.com/Calendar_files/2013calendars/072013rwb.htm )
(3)Book transport FIRST -- your open-jaw round-trip, Eurostar and any domestic air-links that have limited flights available on your target dates. It's easier to find lodging options than to upset an itinerary because transport is fully booked or not running on the desired day.
(4) For Lodgings -- Booking.com is very useful because it offers instant feedback on rates & availability. Sometimes when you e-mail a hotel directly, if staff is very busy and the place is already fully booked for your date, they may procrastinate telling you so. On the other hand, if booking.com says a certain budget hotel "cannot book at this time" it MAY just mean that this hotel doesn't use an agency ... so direct inquiry may bring a different result. NOTE: a good way to narrow choices is to SORT -- 1st by location, and 2nd by budget range. ( For Athens, sort by "landmarks" and specify "Acropolis" & you get only hotels within easy walking distance). Once you have a list & have checked some reviews, forums like this can give you personal feedback. TIP: When giving preferences, words like "nice" or "moderate" mean something different to everyone, so it's more helpful to give a budget range.
Sounds like a lot of work -- but anything worthwhile is! Once you come back with a more definite itinerary & dates, Forum experts can be very helpful on specifics.

I was happy in my small town. In my life as a single, thirty-two year old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence.
I also hadn't got laid in three years. Hadn't been on a date in two. Had stopped counting calories and wearing makeup… a while ago.
Then Brett Jacobs waltzed in. Caressed my thigh, dug rough fingers into my hair, lowered his soft mouth to my skin, took sexual control of my mind and stirred it all around with what he packed in his pants. He flipped my quiet life upside down and crawled into a place in my heart I thought was dead.
The issue is his secret.
The issue is her.
The issue is that I don't even know she exists, and he thinks she's dead.
The issue is that shit is about to hit the fan and I can't hold on to him tight enough.

Do most white women lick their black lovers ass?
alwayshorny ... since you brought it up, what do you think would be the significance and/or benefit of doing that?
Sorry but I can't think of anything that would make me want to do that. I'm all into pleasing your partner, but EWWWW!
i'm with mariposa on this one - EEEWWWWW!
I agree it is disgusting, should have put that in the original question lol. But i notice in alot more videos white girls doing it for the bbc men. Just curious if it was a common thing.
there is a difference in what happens in porn and what happens in reality if everything that happens in porn happened with same frequency as reality 99% of women would enjoy anal sex
hell one thing i wont do thanks
Actually alot of homemade videos have shown it too. You can tell the difference between real homemade and regular porn.
I agree--not for me
not good sex
im. not into that lol
I never cared for any type of toilet games, I enjoy eating pussy and I enjoy having my dick sucked. I also bath regularly and expect my partner to do the same. Personally I don't care for anal sex because I don't like the idea of shit on my dick. The thought of kissing someone after she has licked my asshole shouldn't require explanation. The purpose of sharing your bed with someone is to give and to get pleasure. It shouldn't be a contest to see to what lengths your partner will go to to please you.
If its clean!!

Spring Sun Screen Upgrade
Spring Sunscreen Upgrade
After being at the pool with Blake this weekend, it became apparent that it's that time of year again!
After being treated for skin cancer, sunscreen and proper protection are two things I do not mess around with, and neither should you!
Did you know that sunscreen can become completely ineffective when left out in hot temperatures? Sounds crazy, but it's true! Read more on that here.
So that is why every year, I choose to just start with a fresh new bottle of sunscreen instead of chancing it with an old one.
By doing this I ensure that we'll be protected, but I also get to try new brands and types as well!
This year I've had many many different favorites come through from Ipsy and Birchbox subscriptions, so I've gotten to try some great products!
For me, I like sunscreen that is silky and smooth to apply. There are some sunscreens with different consistencies that leave your skin sticky and damp. Definitely not a fan of sticky and damp!
The sunscreen I like for my face is never the same as what I put on my body, and the same is said for Blake.
To me, sunscreen is a layer and part of my daily routine, and it should become a part of yours too!
In the mornings, I add a drop to my primer and spread it all over my face, neck, and shoulders. The mix feels amazing on my skin and I know i'm protected for the day.
If we're going to the pool or the beach, I always apply my sunscreen when I am completely naked. This may sounds crazy but it's the best way to just ensure perfect coverage! Then you let it dry, pop on your bikini, and be off on your way!
When at the beach or pool and I need to reapply, I leave my sunscreen in my cooler. I do this for two reasons; 1) On a hot day at the beach, nothing feels more amazing than slathering on some cold sunscreen. It cools you down and sets you up for the rest of your day.
2) Like I said earlier, hot temperatures ((above 77 degrees)) will make certain ingredients inactive, and therefore, ineffective.
And just to be clear because I think there is a lot of misconceptions when it comes to caring for your skin with the sun; Sunscreen does not block your ability to get color, it just helps to keep the harmful rays from damaging your skin.
I can lay out at the beach all day and feel good about being protected while still getting great color. The difference is, I never burn or deal with redness. Worth it my friends! I can not say it enough!
It is the perfect time of year to take advantage of picking the best products for your summer lifestyle! Time to clean out the old stash and upgrade with new!
Here are my picks for all things suncare!
My favorite sunscreen right now is by Supergoop. They have perfected the smooth and silky texture that I love and their products all leave my skin feeling amazing.
If you're going to mix your sunscreen in with your moisturizer, this is my go to for sure.
I said earlier that I mix my sunscreen (serum) in with my primer, you can find that primer right here! It is absolutely amazing. The shimmer and shine that it gives while naturally boosting your skins colors makes it perfect to wear alone or with makeup over. Mixing it with the Supergoop Serum makes for a perfect combo!
If you're looking for the best of each type, I highly recommend this kit for summer.
And if you're like me, I love me an all in one! This right here can replace your moisturizer and cc cream completely, AND it has 35 SPF. This is by far my favorite and the original product by Supergoop that got me hooked. You will be too!
So if you do choose the CC Cream like me, you'll need something equally amazing for your body. Friends; Meet the best smelling, feeling, working lotion/sunscreen I've ever tried! No joke!
Not looking to spend that much on sunscreen? Completely understandable. Here are some less expensive but still equally effective products that I've used and loved!
I am a big fan of Neutrogena's sun care line and have used it for years and years. I worked at CVS when I was a teenager and bought almost every product of theirs and loved them.
This sunscreen is a recent favorite of mine as a backup. It smells good, goes on smooth, and doesn't leave you feeling sticky.
This is one of my favorites for your face and neck. It is silky smooth and a great moisturizer. This is definitely perfect to add into your daily makeup routine!
Used to using organic products? I am with you there. In my experience, it is very hard to find a sunscreen that is comfortable to wear all day that also happens to be organic. Usually they have to use a mineral base which is what causes that sticky feeling I have a hard time with! These products, however, are pretty great!
Juice Beauty is one of my favorite brands and they really do a good job of making their sunscreen almost milky. You'll love how it feels on your skin!
This Sunscreen stick by The Honest Company is definitely a great product to keep around. I carry it with me and use it on my cheeks, nose, and lips when I know I'll be out in direct sun. It is a little thick because of the mineral base, but it looks great under lip gloss and makeup really clings well to it. So it's kind of a win win!
So there you have it! All of these products have been great and I still use just about every one of them from time to time.
Sun screen and proper sun care are so so amazingly crucial, so these products are essential to giving you the best and healthiest summer possible! There's nothing worse than ugly scars on your back from improper sun care, trust me!
Hope y'all try these out and love them like I do!
What's your favorite type of sunscreen!?
Have you cleaned out your stash?
xO, Lo

The United Arabs Emirates have seized properties that belonged to non-other than underworld don and crime lord Dawood Ibrahim. According to reports, UAE government has seized assets worth Rs 15,000 crore. National Security Adviser Ajit Doval reportedly pursued the matter with UAE and requested the officials to act and seize Dawood's property.
Dawood is wanted in India for the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in which 257 people were killed and nearly a thousand injured. He is also accused of masterminding other terror attacks and of money laundering and extortion.
The United States had already designated underworld don Dawood Ibrahim as a global terrorist having links with Al Qaeda and financing activities of Lashkar-e-Taliba and other terrorist organisations.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
Internet Connection works but web applications are not. Needs help.
Hi there.
Let me start by saying that I have a background in computer programming and so I understand most jargon, however I don't have much experience with computer hardware problems and networking, so I may not have tried some very simple things. I believe I've tried everything and I have thus far found no solution to ym problem nor have I even identified what the problem is.
So, yesterday morning I was browsing the web as usual, when a power cut happened, obviously stopping me from browsing. When the power came back on, I tried to use my PC again. My network adapter was able to connect to my router once it came back on and very simple programs on my computer were working (for example, little Windows 7 gadgets on my desktop, such as news feeds and even my anti-virus updater) but when I tried to log on to Windows Live Messenger or any of my web browsers (I've tried IE, Firefox and Chrome), nothing works and I can't connect to the internet.
Each browser has the same problem. I can connect to my default homepage (google) each time, but it takes longer than usual, but then it doesn't let me connect to another website.
This problem appears to be localized, although I'm having the same problem on both my laptop and my desktop PC, whereas my brother's desktop (which I'm writing from now) and our family's laptop both work fine and are free from this issue. In order to fix it, I have tried resetting my computers, my network adapter AND my router several times, but there is no change. I have tried a full system restore to a restore point 7 days prior to the problem occurring, but no change. I have tried troubleshooting the connection but nothing happens. I have also run a full virus scan with AVG Free and a spyware scan with Windows Defender, both came up clean.
I activated my mobile phone as a wireless hotspot and the computer was able to connect to that with no problems and enable full browsing, but once it connected back to my router, the same problem resurfaced, yet the other 2 PCs in our house still work fine.
Any help with this baffling probem?

Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8.1 Pro,
I can't say exactly what the problem might be because power out's can cause many different problems but I had a similar problem a few days ago where I could not sign into MSN messenger or my browser IE.
I tried running sfc/scannow command but it found no problems so I performed a start up repair from the Windows CD and it somehow fixed everything. So if you have a Windows CD handy, running the start up repair is an option.
System images come in handy for problems like this.

You might be seeing a backed-up copy of your start page in the browsers.
Are you sure you actually have an IP connection?
Or you might have a connection but no nameserver.
Try "ping 220.127.116.11" or "ping www.google.com".
If the first one works but the second one doesn't, check your nameserver configuration.

Tips on renting a dumpster in Calimesa, CA
Some cities require a dumpster permit
You'll need to obtain a dumpster permit in the event the container will be placed on the side of a city street or on the sidewalk. These permits are called "temporary occupancy permits" in some cities.
When you have the dumpster placed on your private property, such as your driveway, no permit is necessary. To be sure you satisfy all of your city's permitting requirements, discuss it with your dumpster rental provider prior to obtaining the rental.
Two ways to reduce total weight of the load
The weight of debris inside a dumpster can add up quickly, especially when loading dense debris like dirt, concrete or roofing shingles. Here are two tips that can help minimize the weight of a load:
- Tarp the dumpster when not in use, otherwise rainwater can drench the load and add a significant amount of weight. It's possible you could end up paying overage fees if this puts you over the dumpster's weight allowance.
- Some junk or debris may be valuable to others, such as salvaged bricks, working appliances, or reclaimed wood. Leave these things out of the dumpster and instead, place an ad on Craigslist to offload it for free.
Always be aware of the weight allowance on your dumpster, and discuss this in detail with your dumpster provider if you plan to load dense debris, such as cement or masonry.
