Arduino circuit/breadboard not working at higher voltage?

thanks for the reply!

yeah I moved some parts.. and forgot to move the lines..

(your fast!).. I had already uploaded corrected one before i got your email.. but you were probably typing..
(hit [F5]..for new pics)

1.) check and updated
2.) Is it bad I have the power going all the way around the board (powering the rails..and tapping them as needed)?
2a.) I think you meant/mean pin8? (you put ( ) around it..and it parsed to a smiley face! LOL)

Im actually running out of the office as we speak.. after kids soccer practice.. I'll be back to re-read and comment on the rest of #2 & #4

4.) good Im glad I donthave to worry.. less to worry about means I can get a firm/solid understanding of the basics..then move on.

thanks again (more to come)
