Finding a model in ember.js

I'm completely new to ember js. I've downloaded the last rc 2 version of ember, ember-data.js 12 revision, and looked at the manual and copy-past this code in order to be able to see the GET request to my server:

App = Ember.Application.create();

App.Router.map(function() {
... some resources...
});

App.Store = DS.Store.extend({
    revision: 12 // Default is the REST Adapter 
});

App.Person = DS.Model.extend({
    firstName: DS.attr('string'),
    lastName: DS.attr('string'),
    birthday: DS.attr('date'),

    fullName: function() {
            return this.get('firstName') + ' ' + this.get('lastName');
    }.property('firstName', 'lastName')
});

var person = App.Person.find(1);

And I get the next error:

Uncaught Error: assertion failed: Your application does not have a 'Store' property defined. Attempts to call 'find' on model classes will fail. Please provide one as with 'YourAppName.Store = DS.Store.extend()'

But as I understand I defined the Store property. Maybe I missed something because I havent read the whole manual, but honestly I can't see what's wrong. As I get it after this code I'll see get /post/1/ request to my server, and it should be an amazing thing, but I'm still struggling with this error

This is happening because ember applications are initialized asynchronously. In general you just define classes when js is being loaded, executable code belongs in hooks/callbacks. Mostly you will be using model find() from the model hook on your routes, but if you really need to do something like this right away you can do this:

App.then(function() {
  console.log('App has been initialized...');
  var person = App.Person.find(1);
});

If you want to experiment with this approach try this jsfiddle which demonstrates using App.then() with the ember-data fixture adapter based on the getting started screencast
