     // NOTE: the month entered must be one less than current month. ie; 0=January, 11=December
     // NOTE: the hour is in 24 hour format. 0=12am, 15=3pm etc
     // format: dateFuture1 = new Date(year,month-1,day,hour,min,sec)
     // example: dateFuture1 = new Date(2003,03,26,14,15,00) = April 26, 2003 - 2:15:00 pm

     dateFuture1 = new Date(2012, 1, 29, 0, 0, 0);
