Notes
- Stop Timers run for the number of minutes entered, show "complete" when finished.
- Running Timers do not have a stop time, they run until you stop them.
- Input is not required for Running Timers.
- Log Entries support the ampersand char "@" and word "at".
- Bug #1
  Stop Timers sometimes run past the stop time, the elapsed time is accurate, but the timer overruns the time limit.
  This bug can occur if the browser thread gets backed up, etc, causing the stop-time timeout to get out of sync.
  Bug sometimes occurs on iPad when tabbing to other pages.
  Working on fix to check stop-time on interval instead of timeout.
