 store.requestAccessToEntityType(EKEntityTypeEvent,
            completion:{(granted:Bool, error:NSError?) -> Void in
        
                if let e = error {
                    println("Error \(e.localizedDescription)")
                }
                
                if granted {
                    println("access granted")
                    
                    var date:NSDate = NSDate.date()
                    var event:EKEvent = EKEvent(eventStore: store)
                    event.title = "Someone's birthday"
                    event.startDate = date
                    event.endDate = date
                    event.allDay = true
                    event.calendar = store.defaultCalendarForNewEvents
                    // 60 seconds before
                    var alarm:EKAlarm = EKAlarm(relativeOffset: -60)
                    event.alarms = [alarm]

                    var err:NSError?
                    store.saveEvent(event, span:EKSpanThisEvent, error:&err)
                    if let se = err {
                        println("could not save \(se.localizedDescription)")
                    }
                }
        })

                // 60 seconds before
                let alarm:EKAlarm = EKAlarm(relativeOffset: -60)
                event.alarms = [alarm]



                do {

                try store.saveEvent(event, span: EKSpan.ThisEvent, commit: true)

                } catch {

                    //let err:NSError?
                    print(error)
                }

    }
