Instant Boss : (10+2)*5 Timer

JacobB asked for someone to code the following our Coding Snacks Request forum:

I know that there are allot of timers and clocks out there, but this one is specific for the "Work The Dash and Take a Break" formula discussed at:

http://www.43folders...stination-hack-1025/

The idea is to have a timer that will run for 10 minutes doing a task, then take a 2 minute break, and repeat 5 times, and you have 1 hour of work.

This would be a great help for procrastinating people like me.

A few days later App103 from our forum returned with a wonderful implementation, called "Instant Boss".

Overview
Windows PowerShell is a new task-based command line shell and intuitive scripting language for system administration that provides comprehensive control and automation for Windows administrators. Windows PowerShell makes administrators more productive by improving the manageability of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows.
The key features of Windows PowerShell include:

    * One hundred and twenty nine standard utilities (called "cmdlets") for completing common system administration tasks such as working with the registry, services, processes, Windows Management Instrumentation, event logs, etc..
    * Intuitive, task-based scripting language and support for existing scripts and command line tools..
    * Designed for consistency so all tools and system data stores follow a common syntax, common naming conventions and information can be easily shared/piped between tools.
    * Simplified command-based navigation of the operating system (including drives, startup files, and registry).
