 # 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
-# article in Time magazine online
-# <a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2103243,00.html">

+# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-07-25)
+# ... we double checked by calling hotels and offices based in Tokelau asking
+# about the time there, and they all told a time that agrees with UTC+13....
+# Shanks says UTC-10 from 1901 [but] ... there is a good chance the change
+# actually was to UTC-11 back then.

+# A Google Books snippet of Appendix to the Journals of the House of

+# <http://books.google.com/books?id=ZaVCAQAAIAAJ>, page 65, says Tokelau
+# was "11 hours slow on G.M.T."  Go with Thorsen and assume Shanks & Pottenger
+# are off by an hour starting in 1901.
