problem with datePicker, title initialization is funky
<p>So I have reached the end of my rope when it comes to this dang
datePicker dialog that I am working with. I have made it through 7
different activities within my app and have not encountered a single
problem until I reached the datePicker. My problem consists of two
elements: 1) The dang title of my datePicker displays Wednesday,
December 31, 0002 when called. The datePicker itself displays
correctly, but not the title, and I have not altered the title one
bit. When you change the date the title changes to the correct
information except for.... 2) It appears as if the days of the week
are off by one (for today it says Monday, February 22, 2011). So I am
going to post my entire code within this activity and if anyone has
any ideas any help is much appreciated.  The issue is going to be in
the onCreateDialog or onPrepareDialog methods.  If i need to remove
any of the other extraneous init methods I will do so, but I would
like to verify that I am not causing problems anywhere else within
this activity.</p>
