Program for LED controller Ver 1.0(Updated from Ver 0.11 and checked)

/*
Program for Art Work
Version 1.0
Huge 7 segment controller with Shift registor.
Made by Shotaro N 2010

note:
Somehow,you need Serial.print(); in a function of block();.
It does not do anything, but without having it, the program does not work properly.
