 # Although Samoa has used Daylight Saving Time in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012
 # seasons, there is not yet any indication that this trend will continue on

+# From Nicky (2012-09-10):
+# Daylight Saving Time commences on Sunday 30th September 2012 and

+# which give the impression of a pattern in selecting dates for the
+# future, so for now, we will guess this will continue.
