[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] iCal/hiptop Sync Time Zone Issue

I'm having trouble getting the iCal syncing to work as a result of a
time zone issue. As noted by Dave with M/S below, the Sidekick will
only recognize zones like US/Eastern, but not America/Detroit. Since
the hiptop Sync software doesn't do this mapping, I'm trying to go
through my events to change to this format. The main problem is that
I do not see the formats he notes I can use. I've attached images of
what I see on my 10.4.5 MacBook Pro for more information, but could
someone tell me how to acquire such zones so I can use this software?
Thanks!
