  The Calendar.set() method was producing a timestamp value with
  was
  exactly one month in the future.
  

Problem conclusion

• The set metod of the Calendar class creates timestamps for the
  month section on a number line od 0-11, and
  the values being passed into the month field was on a 1-12
  number line.  By subtracting 1 from the month
  integer being sent in the problem was fixed.
