# From Gwillim Law (2011-12-29)
# A correspondent informed me that Tokelau, like Samoa, will be skipping
-# December 31 this year, thereby changing its time zone from UTC-10 to
-# UTC+14. When I tried to verify this statement, I found a confirming

+# ... we double checked by calling hotels and offices based in Tokelau asking
