How do I turn off all-day that is checked by default

Question

When I create a new event "all-day" is checked by default and before when I typed in the time in "from" it would automaticly give me a hour block of time. I would like to know how to have the "all-day" unchecked by default. I'm using ical 5 in Lion.
Thanks

Here is a link to the artical I read.
http://www.macworld.com/article/162218/2011/09/how_to_make_lions_ical_less_annoy ing.html#lsrc.rss_main
also in th artical there is a terminal edit you can do to change it to 60 minutes.
Q: The default duration for new events is one hour. Can I change this?
A: Not using iCal’s interface or preferences, but, as often, there’s a way to do this using Terminal. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), and enter (or just copy and paste) the following text if you want to set your events to default to 30 minutes:
defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 30
Press Return. If iCal is running, quit the application and relaunch it for the change to take effect.
If you want a different duration, replace “30” with something else. If you want to change this back to the one-hour default, run the same command with 60 as the duration.
