I was shopping at Trader Joe's happily awaiting my turn to browse the frozen foods section. I like to browse the whole frozen case because they often have unusual and interesting ethnic foods. I stopped my cart because a lady was in front of me and then waited for her to proceed.
She didn't move, and I realized she was on her cell phone. She turned and looked right at me, so I smiled, and she turned away and continued talking. I waited a bit more, then said "Excuse me?" She continued talking. I wasn't in a big hurry, so I decided to browse a different aisle and come back to this one.
I came back and she was gone by then, so I continued my browsing behind a different woman, accompanied by a teenager, who was moving along at about the same pace as I was. Another teenager approached, and the three of them stepped to the middle of the aisle to chat, leaving the cart blocking my path.
The adult turned toward me once, so I smiled encouragingly, thinking she'd get it, but she went back to chatting. When next she turned, she asked, "Am I in your way?", and I smiled and said, "Well, yes!" But in a nice way, with a chuckle. She did grab her cart and move it away.
As she pulled her cart away, a woman who had been waiting behind me cut in front to get something out of the case. I sighed loudly.
And that was apparently an invitation for ANOTHER woman to cut in front of me.
I lost it then. I screamed, at the top of my lungs, "ALL I WANTED WAS TO LOOK AT THE TANDOORI CHICKEN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?"
Just kidding–I laughed. And then I browsed the case and found some lovely spinach dumplings. 0404-13
I freely admit that the grocery store is *the* place I fantasize most about blog posts I'd write on Ehell. As I push my cart up and down each aisle, I dream of educational videos I would film exposing the common faux pas made by my fellow shoppers. As I ponder my shopping list I am simultaneously composing the video script in my head. The dos and don'ts of grocery shopping. I would become the world's leading authority on shopping etiquette.
My personal favorites are the people who stop dead in the middle of the aisle or to one side and then cross over to look over something on the other side leaving the aisle completely blocked. I'll stand there quietly just biding my time until they finally move out of the way. Lately I've run into more people stopping at the end of the aisle or mid aisle to chat on their cell phone completely oblivious to anyone wanting to get past them. Oh,and the people who meet a friend in the store and clog the entire aisle with busy "get reacquainted" chatter and utterly clueless how they are blocking everyone from going down that aisle. To me it seems so obvious….wanna chat it up? Get out of the way where you inconvenience no one.
It's rare but recently I encountered a woman who rushed ahead of me to get into the check out line, realized she had forgotten something and abandoned her half emptied cart to go get it. The seconds and then the minutes ticked by and there was nothing to be done as half her groceries had already been rung up. I do not have a temper but this was testing even my patience and I was slowly starting to percolate into full blown anger at the raw, unadulterated, blatant entitlement this shopper exhibited at the expense of the cashier and every customer behind her. The mental video scripting went into high gear with me wishing I could have filmed this secretly from a hidden camera in my jacket button. You forget something once in the check out line? Chalk it up to your own forgetfulness which the consequences of you WILL NOT inflict on others. You either get it on another trip or you finish checking out and go back for it and wait in line again.
And my real favorite, the cart abandoners. They are ahead of me in the check out line, they deposit their purchases on the belt, pay for their items only to leave the cart blocking the check out line requiring me to push it forward and out of the way.
Trader Joe's is a challenge to shop at due to the small store size, the narrow aisles and the crowds. I plan my trips right as the store opens at 8 am when the crowds are not as dense. My lat time there, admittedly not early but later in the morning, there was a field trip in progress! Yep, a whole gaggle of women on a tour of the store blocking the already narrow aisles while paying close attention to the "docent". Lovely.

Your paper saving tips
Since we launched our campaign in 2008 we've received some great paper saving tips from around the world. Here are just some of them....
Your tips on paper efficient note-takingUse notebooks till the end. Reuse empty pages.
Alex (Israel)
Make note pads by stapling or gluing small decks of cut sheets.
Herenia (Mexico)
Reuse paper that has been used only on one side for note paper (phone messages, to-do lists etc).
Mat (Australia); Sudeshna; Gottfried (Germany); Lara (Canada); Raadhika (India); Jo (UK)
Use the white space on paper that has already been printed on for quick note-taking (phone numbers etc.) instead of notepads; Use other side for notes.
Elizabeth (USA); Renelle (India); Ginger
Use erasable board (e.g. white board) for temporary notes and messages.
Liliya (Ukraine)
Make your own notebook out of leftover paper/ paper from office recycling bin – design your own cover.
Susanna (India); Pontus (Sweden); Irina (Moldova)
Use the other side of printed documents for children's drawing paper.
Judith (Hungary); Liwanag (Philippines)
Use an A4 sized white board and if the notes are important, scan an image of the whiteboard to a computer.
Jade (Canada)
Use single-side printed receipts from shops as note/memo papers. This also encourages effective use of space/small writing.
Zhi (Malaysia)
Memos or reminders could be recorded on a cell phone or recorder instead of writing it down; On a cell phone you can write a reminder or directions on a text and save it in the draft file to look at it later when you need it. Then you can delete it.
Your tips on efficient tissue useDesign smaller paper handkerchiefs for restaurants, cafes (as seen in Korea). Most time a normal size paper handkerchief is too big for a restaurant customer, further, it is too big for cafe or ice cream shop customers.
Xuemei (Korea)
Minimize the usage of tissue papers in wash rooms at work places.
Bhanu (India)
Reduce the use of tissue papers in the company. Encourage people to use handkerchiefs/towels.
Sreejith (India)
Limit the use of paper napkins: having breakfast and dinner at home means wasting two paper napkin a day for each member of the family; while a good old fabric napkin could last one week before being thrown in the laundry!
Antonella (Italy)
Your tips for effective use of computersUse on-line bill services like Canada Post's Epost to save paper simplifies both storage and bookkeeping.
Joey (Canada)
Send e-cards rather than paper cards. There are lots of e-card sites to choose from, plenty of charity options, and you can pay for high quality, animated cards with music
Emma (UK)
Change of the default setting from print: all pages to print: 'selection' or 'current page' (the smaller of them). Unfortunately, it seems that this default setting is fixed by factory – Urge Microsoft and the developers of Office etc. to change the default settings or making them accessible in the user definable options.
Miguel (Italy)
Convince universities and colleges to conduct examinations on computers because a lot of paper is wasted and is not recycled due to these examinations and these examination papers are still lying there for no use and it is waste of space and paper.
Bhupesh (India)
Purchase PDF books.
Read news online.
Deepak, Bhupesh (India); Aftab (India)
Encourage shops to send e-brochures about shop-sales instead of paper flyers .
Zoe, (Malaysia)
Print more than one page to a side of paper.
John (UK)
Since I'm a photographer, my clients need contact sheets (little thumbnails of the shoot on paper). Instead I keep them digital and include them on the CD I burn for them. Also my quotes and invoices are all digital. I don't print them unless it is absolutely needed.
Print documents only if required otherwise save a copy on your hard
drive rather than making a hard copy for future reference.
Thinlay (Bhutan)
On any electronic communication, e-mailing, we always attach a bottom-line message which reads in bold green type: "1. Help to save the environment. Do not print unless it is absolutely necessary. 2. Plant more trees. Help the nation grow green. 3. Environment is everyone's responsibility. Help save paper. Help save the globe."
Shashank (Kenya)
Replace the tonnes of paper used by government with e-papers. For example, filling up forms in govt. offices like post offices, RTO offices, Banks, etc.
Surya (India)
Encourage your company to store data/letters etc on a common folder, instead of a box file. Documents that are received by post can be scanned and kept in this common folders, instead of giving copies to all concerned persons.
Sreejith (India)
Train people to use their printer / photocopier duplex / many pages per sheet! Print in draft quality by default, it's usually good enough. Use ecofont, less ink means easier to recycle paper Use smaller character size, e.g. Arial 8, can save up to 20% of paper on a single document when compared to Arial 10. Ban blank pages in documents (usually done for presentation purposes) -Ban automatic jump to new page (e.g. in MS Word, some default header styles are set to automatically start a new page. It's very easy to remove this setting) – Set business templates to be compact (small character size, ecofont, no page jumps...) – If you build software with reporting capability, make those reports compact: your customers want to save paper too!
Clara (UK)
Your tips for avoiding unnecessary paper useDo not pick up free newspaper or advertisement flyers.
Katarzyna (Poland)
Cancel newspaper subscriptions.
Rene (Netherlands)
Register with the Mailing Preference Service to stop companies sending junk mail to your home address. Do it online for the UK on www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr
Coralie, UK
Carry your own water bottle and ceramic cups to your work areas or institutes to lessen the use of paper cups for water or coffee.
Include less pictures on catalogs and advertisements.
Janet (US)
Banks should make printing bank slips an optional extra when drawing money from ATM's. Receipts in the supermarket should also be an optional.
Bridget (South Africa)
WWF should only send newsletters by e-mail to members who have access to the internet and stop regular postal delivery of the newsletter.
Anne (USA)
Your tips for reusing paperRe-use envelopes.
Frances (UK); Shashank (Kenya); Joy
Use selections from the free colour brochures for advertising as wrapping paper. I paint small cardboard boxes some cheese comes in to pack home made chocolates as presents.
Diana (Malta)
More recycling in shopping centers e.g. paper cups, KFC food wrapping or pizza hut cartons.
Fer (Ecuador)
Example from Romania: An NGO collects used paper through collecting agreements and sells it to paper recycling companies. The money is used to replant trees in a few cities in Romania. wwww.copaculdehartie.ro
Semra (Romania)
I print about 90 % on the reverse side of advertising letters, only outgoing letters are printed on 'new' recycled paper.
Thomas (Germany)
Make recycled "hallmark" cards from used paper.
Paola (Puerto Rico)
Thank you!
Thanks for all the great ideas you have submitted! Please continue to send us your tips to firstname.lastname@example.com
"Paper is too valuable to waste
"Make paper much more expensive so it will be treated as something valuable.
Rene (Netherlands)

Chocoholic: Double Chocolate Icebox Cookies
Liz Gutman of Liddabit Sweets shares weekly recipes, profiles, techniques, reviews, and sundry other chocolate-related tidbits.

All About Chocolate
Everything you want to know about chocolate
I wish that I were young enough to not even know what a real icebox is, but I'm not. I even had a grandmother who must have used the real deal herself because she only referred to her fridge as an icebox. Her vintage electric Frigidaire was modeled after a real icebox—you had to open the main fridge door to access the tiny freezer compartment (and I mean tiny). It was cute, but terrible. The inside of the little freezer box constantly leaked water. And it would completely ice up, causing ice cube trays and boxes of frozen veggies to become wedged in for life.
Invented in that bygone era, icebox cookies are nothing more than cookies baked from a dough that's been chilled. The dough is usually rolled up into a cylinder, chilled until firm, then sliced and baked. Even after all these years, the name has stuck. That's fine with me. The name "refrigerator cookie" reminds me of unpleasant refrigerator smell.
I love icebox cookies because they're an awesome make-ahead cookie dough. If the dough is rolled into a neatly shaped cylinder, the cookies bake up perfectly round. I have a particular affection for these double chocolate icebox cookies because they're wicked chocolatey (1:2 ratio of cocoa to flour). I'll stand at the counter shoving dough into my mouth to get my chocolate fix right then and there if I'm not careful. The only thing that stops me is knowing that the baked cookie is even better: tender, slightly crisp, and with a mound of chocolate chips baked into the top.

Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker (Gil Talbot).
- Battle 4 Atlantis Schedule
- Purchase Battle 4 Atlantis Ticket Packages
- Harvard Men's Basketball Schedule
- Purchase Harvard Men's Basketball Tickets
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard men's basketball head coach Tommy Amaker recently sat down with GoCrimson.com to discuss the team's 2011-12 schedule, which was recently completed with the announcement of the Crimson's first round opponent in the Battle 4 Atlantis at Paradise Island, Bahamas.
There, the Crimson will square off against the Utah Utes out of the Mountain West Conference Nov. 24 at 9:30 p.m. (EST).
Q: Tommy, what is your reaction to the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament draw?
A: Obviously we are thrilled to be a part of this fantastic venture.
Looking specifically at the draw, we would react the same for any of the seven other competing schools. We must play well to defeat any of these programs and we look forward to the challenge of facing a school with such a basketball pedigree.
Q: There has been some interest in the tournament field and the prospect of Harvard possibly meeting the University of Connecticut in the second round with the teams also scheduled to meet Dec. 8 in ESPN2. Do you have any reaction?
A: We can't look past Utah, just like we can't look past Loyola Marymount, whom we play five days earlier (Nov. 19). Obviously we want to win that first game to remain in contention for the championship at Battle 4 Atlantis but all games in the tournament will be meaningful.
Q: Harvard posted a 14-0 record at home last season and owns one of the longest home unbeaten streaks in the nation. Does that play into the scheduling?
A: I don't think so; scheduling is extremely complex with many factors. We are pleased in what we were able to accomplish last year and are extremely grateful to our fans for the environment that they created at Lavietes. Defending our home court is very important to us and we did well. This is a new year however and we have a great challenge ahead of us to keep performing and moving forward.
Q: There has been some renewed interest among local media members in a potential "Beanpot" style basketball event in Boston. What are your thoughts on that and the local hoops scene?
A: I would support the idea. Again, I think it is a complex puzzle. Regardless, playing our local rivals remains important to us and we are pleased that we are able to once again play Holy Cross, Boston University and Boston College as well as UConn and Vermont.

I've finally made the time to watch Robert Hess's interview with Sean Harrison, master distiller of Plymouth Gin.
Harrison recommends a tasting method that I'd like to try
You've got to sit down in a bar, take a gin, add some water to it–a one-to-one with water–and get your nose in it and have a taste…. If you really want to get in to it, line every single gin up there is in the bar, put it in to a wine glass… and one-to-one with water and try it.
The entire interview is good, though, as he talks about developing and marketing gin; he's also forthright that the flavor profiles of different gins mean you might use one gin for a certain drink and a different gin for another drink.

Evangelical Environmentalism's Moral Imperative
The debate among evangelicals about the proper response to the challenges and questions of climate change has taken a disturbing turn in recent weeks. And in a troubling case of historical repetition, this turn echoes the tone of the debate over the last decade between conservative and progressive Christians on the problem of poverty.
In the mid-1990s, at the height of political action to reform welfare, religious conservatives were typically depicted as opposing expansive government welfare because they did not have concern for the poor. In the same way, evangelical Christians who doubt the veracity of claims about the extent and causes of global warming are increasingly being portrayed as denying the Christian responsibility to care for the earth.
Earlier this month conservative evangelicals, including James Dobson of Focus on the Family and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, expressed opposition to evangelical activism on global warming, focusing especially on the activities of the Rev. Richard Cizik, vice president of governmental relations for the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). The group of evangelical leaders sent out a letter calling for a reprimand of Cizik, or his resignation, because of his "relentless campaign" to promote federal action to address climate change.
In response the New York Times editorialized last week that the letter from conservative evangelicals "was a sad reminder of how a radical agenda, like the brand of conservatism these men preach, can overshadow everything else." The Times concluded that "it is antiquated to limit the definition of morality to the way humans behave among humans" and that "the greatest moral issue of our time is our responsibility to the planet and to all its inhabitants."
Commenting on the aftermath of the Dobson letter, Lisa Miller of Newsweek noted that "Cizik himself is smart enough to seize the moment and position himself as a martyr." Miller also quoted Cizik's planned remarks to the board of the NAE, in which he wrote, "It's time we return to being people known for our love and care of the earth and our fellow human beings."
In these and many other ways, the opposition to evangelical activism on climate change has been conflated with the larger issue of environmental stewardship. But of course Christian responsibility for the environment, termed "creation care" by Cizik, is much broader than the question of global warming. While it may be an effective rhetorical strategy to assert that your opponents do not "care" for creation, such claims obscure rather than clarify the real crux of the debate.
In its exposition of the commandment against bearing false witness, the Heidelberg Catechism, an important confessional document for Reformed Christianity, observes that the commandment obliges the Christian to "love the truth, speak it candidly, and openly acknowledge it." It also says that Christians are "to guard and advance" the good names of our neighbors. The attribution of false motives to opponents of climate change activism runs the risk of violating these significant moral imperatives.
While the caricature of the conservative lack of care for the poor has proven difficult to dispel, times have begun to change such that "compassionate conservatism" is no longer an oxymoron, and there is hope that political discourse can be raised to a more productive level.
For instance, progressive Christian activist Tony Campolo has the integrity to admit that the claims of conservative Christians that government does not bear the primary responsibility to care for the poor are not due to a lack of care about poverty. Instead, notes Campolo, "The Religious Right, by conviction, is convinced that helping the poor is something that should be done individually or by the church." There is a shared commitment to viewing poverty as a moral issue, but disagreement at the level of policy and prudence about the best ways to address the problem.
In the same way, Christian care for the environment is indeed a moral issue, and one that will only demand greater attention as technological advances and scientific abilities increase. Both the evangelical opponents of and proponents for government action on climate change bear a responsibility to be open and honest about their points of consensus and disagreement.
For conservative evangelicals who oppose political action to address climate change, this means making it explicit and clear that the broader question of the moral imperative of environmental stewardship is a non-negotiable point of Christian belief. Dobson and others do warrant a measure of blame for the ill-chosen wording of their letter. By only explicitly mentioning pro-life issues, marriage, and sexuality as "great moral issues of our time," the signatories opened themselves up to a great deal of legitimate criticism. Jim Wallis, a prominent progressive evangelical activist, was quick to point out that war, poverty, and environmental issues are also important moral concerns.
For those who are global warming political advocates, such as Cizik and Wallis, this moral imperative means acknowledging the commitment of their opponents to "care" of the creation, even amidst the sometimes pointed disagreements over the means and institutions responsible for that care. With this shared commitment perhaps the dialogue on climate change might advance beyond vilification and demagoguery.

You like 'em too? Yeah, those thin mints are dope!
I try not to keep them in the house, though, because your year supply would probably only last me through one good movie sitting, then I'd be rolling in agony and hatin' life afterwards.

You are certainly a standout.
Just completely out of sight.
And thin mints, Ummmm (Prefer the "strong" stuff HERSHEY BARS). I believe "Thin Mints" is a marketing name to make me think I can eat 1,000s and stay thin--or GET thin--grin!

Well I am salivating :) Always a good sign! So you are giving away your secrets? There I was thinking you were as pure as I was ...... I only have three vices - mispelling, mistyping and I forget the other one . Heh, if only that was true.
Don't you love that first image, the girl looking backwards and goig "hey, what was that noise? do I here the sound of someone crunching on...."
Okay, back to my wholegrain wheat bix with first pressed virgin cow's milk sprinkled with bourhgul and fresh chillies and just a tad of ice-scream
Hey I don't even get a magic woprd so I will have to make one up .... hmm "Magg Spragwort", a famous character from Charles Dicken's unpublished first novel "Spragwort Saves the Day!"

Hi Bella,
Sweet little illustrations, dear friend.
As for your Girl Scout thin mint biscuits, we do not have them here either.
Do like the plain biscuits, (my fav) though and I think they have coated them in chocolate now.
Chocolate and mint is such a yummy combination.
Hope that you are enjoying the week

I hear girl scouts' cookies are one of the biggest culprits responsible for weight gain during this time of year in the US. If they're THAT good, make some room in your tummy, I say... You could always jog to China afterward, eh? Heheh.
I love your girls, Bella. They always make me crave for cuddles. :))

Oh my gosh, how many Thin Mints is a year's supply? I got a couple three boxes. Er, had a couple three boxes. I mean, it's 2 servings per box, right?
Super cute drawings with their lovely flowers.

I think there has to be a 12 Step Program for Thin Mints. I bought a box the other day, and my two teens inhaled them. I got ONE COOKIE. Obviously, I need to be more discreet when I bring them in the house, and not dance around squealing "Thin mints! Weeeeee!". Lesson learned. Love your drawings...and I bet they all have a delightfully fresh minty smell! xoxox Pam

Hooray for the Girl Scouts!!! I, a lifetime Girl Scout, troop leader and former cookie mom, thank you for this tribute, although, Andrea appears to be savoring something more X-rated. It looks like she is being carried away by a giant dddd..i..l..aaaaah...I can't say it.besides, nog appropriate in line with girl scouting which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Hooray for Juliet Gordon Low.
You know, she had the most extraordinary lif. She married a very wealthy Englishman who was a philanderer and wanted her to live with his mistress in one house!!! Daisy, Juliet's nickname wanted none of it. Good for her!
Now, for your illustratuon. Yesterday, I bought the most beautiful books illustrated by masters. You know what they have in common? They were drawn by hand. Now granted we are now computerized, I am sure some if them may venture using the computer to color.
Now, what am I saying? Great illustrators are easily distinguished by their illustrations, no matter what the subject matter may be. They have signature lines and signature aura: pogany, racham, tenniel, Clarke, nielsen, w.h. Robinson. See an illustration and one exclaims exaltations or keeps quiet because one us afraid that the illustration will disappear, so one closes her eyes and is relieved to find the illustration again.
I say this, your illustrations this past three years have taken a turn for the classic - classic elegance, classic lines, classic precision, classic excellence. I swear that even if someday, the gods will main my heart, and make me renounce my ties, I shall never take back my words regarding your art. Your illustrations belong with the classics, never the disposable books. Alas!!! You are a true dilletante.

What's going on here? Who ate my cookies?
I love "Thanks A Lot". That is my son's favorite. My husband loves Peanut Butter Patties and Thin Mints. My daughter loves Thin Mints. My favorite is Lemonades. I am eating one now with a cup of green tea.
Last week, the police arrested a man who robbed the Girl Scouts selling cookies in front of Wal Mart. He did not even steal them from Senior Girl Scouts or Cadets. He stole them from the Brownies!!!

Do you know why the youngest Girl Scouts are called Daisies? Juliet Gordon Low's nickname was Daisy.
A Juliette is a Girl Scout who does not belong to a troop. That is an individual program, usually for American Girl Scouts overseas or those who live in far flung areas.

I started out really bored. So I preformed a web search on 'catgirl' (for no real reason.. ahem) and found an old ernie website.
Following many, many ernie links I ended up here on February of 2001. After some time, I went the the links section and found rpgworld. This started a whole lotta comic reading (a couple of ten thousands, to date). This got me wanting to be a manga artist. It also got me thinking about learning Japanese.
So my whole life was changed because of Vet on the Net. Thanks! (This is truely true, BTW)

Hello, it is no more than
Reference Error: Error #1065 Variable TCMText is undefined
The message appears at the end of "test movie", and the movie does not seem to include any code.
I have tried two different configurations (one with authortime import of a bunch of symbols from a separate fla file, and the other one using Flex "Embed" mechanism to reference them, but the end result is the same.
3. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextJin-Huang Jun 6, 2011 9:42 PM (in response to birnerseff)
There must be xxx.TCMText. Pls tell me the caller's class name. Is caller an instance of fl.text.TLFTextField or a TLF object?
4. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextbirnerseff Jun 7, 2011 12:32 PM (in response to Jin-Huang)
that is all of the error message...
I just saved as xfl and searched for contained text: there is no mention of TCMText anywhere, there is, however, both DOMText and DOMTLFText
5. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextJin-Huang Jun 8, 2011 1:53 AM (in response to birnerseff)
I did not find tcmtext even in TLF 1.0. So pls port the question to http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general.

I was running Adobe Flash Professional CS5 CIAB through my recently upgraded Flash CS5.5. In Chapter 7, Using Text, I got these errors:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TLFTextField is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined.
I also though it was a Text Layout Format issue. That's how I landed here. I was about to give after reading this and similar threads when I re-read my Actions panel and discovered I had misspelled 'addEventListener' (see below).
calculateBtn.addEventListtener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculateMonthlyPayment);
After correcting the typo, the errors went away. Thought this might be helpful.
Now, I'm wondering why my typo doesn't get flagged through Check Syntax. But, that's for another time.
7. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextbirnerseff Jun 11, 2011 12:10 AM (in response to grandcedric)
Hi, it is possible that a typo can go undetected .... if it refers to a dynamic class; it should throw a runtime error instead.
This behavior looks like a definite bug - misreporting errors.
So this would leave me with the Herculean task of extracting all names from the project and finding the one that is misspelled....
I dont know whether something similar exists for flash, but other environments would allow to inspect the generated code (and its import and export names) right before linking all the project files together
8. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextJin-Huang Jun 12, 2011 6:43 PM (in response to grandcedric)
See it from #2 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/855756?tstart=0
What's more, TLFTextField is not a class in TLF but a class given by Flash pro to hold TLF text.
9. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextbirnerseff Jun 13, 2011 2:08 PM (in response to Jin-Huang)
Hi, I finally realized that I just missed the error messages
With CS5 (as with every flash version before), the movie starts playing even if compilation fails, and flash shows compiler messages.
With CS5.5, although publish settings are to merge code, the movie starts playing and reports the tcmtext error, thereby switching from compiler messages to runtime output

This wasn't answered. Just some people giving up because the Adobe user forums suck so bad. This is a bug. Like a lot of Adobe's glitches there doesn't seem to be any support from the corporation just a bunch of us poor fools searching for another work around.
I get the same error code after importing some text as symbols in to Flash from Illustrator.
Searched for the last hour and Adobe has no info out there that leads to a sollution. Another dead end and time to start from scratch. Thanks Adobe, your monopoly stands only because nothing better has come along yet. As soon as it does you can kiss my license fees good by.
11. Re: reference error - cannot find tcmtextkeldonrush May 28, 2012 7:56 PM (in response to birnerseff)
I have Flash Pro CS 5.5.
I made a singleton to manage the contextMenu for the document class of a couple of different SWFs.
I immediately experienced the dreaded : ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TCMText is not defined.
It wasn't until I was importing these two classes that I had this problem (with this project) :
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
My class that is importing these two classes would instantiate and then I immediately get the runtime error (1065).
I added this line and it compiled and worked for me :
public var TCMText : *;
I think the bug is that some Adobe code is expecting a dynamic class that it can stick the nefarious 'TCMText' property on and when it can't it freaks out. Likely if my class was declared as dynamic (like the MovieClip class is) this wouldn't be a problem.
I have generally stayed completely away from TLF TextFields because I have perceived them to be problematic. I have gotten this error before and converting a TextField to a 'classic' TextField in the IDE properties panel made it go away.
I hope this helps. It *would* be cool if someone from Adobe could shed some light on this.

I skimmed through this thread so I apologize if I am redundant at all.
I think that teaching a solid "leave it" and "watch me" would be very helpful for you. I find that clicker training works best for these commands. If you can get these commands down, when you spot another dog tell him "watch me". Keep his focus on you and praise and reward him as you walk by for paying attention to you, and not the other dog. It is a LOT easier to get a dog's attention on you and reward good behavior before they are in that state than it is to break him of that state and stop it from escalating into a lunge/bark, etc.
I have a friend with a DR dog and she has benefited from long walks with me and my dog. We walk them on opposite sides of the street for a while. When she fixates, she gets a watch me command. Once her attention is off of my dog, she gets praised and rewarded. We continue until she is comfortable with us walking beside her, and can look at my dog calmly. without reacting. Then we slowly come closer and closer. Eventually, we can walk side by side perfectly fine, and they even play a little bit (on leash). It starts to take less time for her to become comfortable with his presence. I think that this is good for her because it shows her the acceptable way to interact with another dog. On a walk alone, she doesn't get any interaction at all.

Local summer program helps kids retain knowledge
During the summer, there is a real danger that children can lose educational ground while they spend several months away from school. This is a consequence of unstructured summers widely known as the "summer learning loss."
Experts believe students of all backgrounds tend to lose about one month of their math and reading gains from the prior academic year each summer.
Some researchers have found that summer learning losses are the main cause of wide achievement gaps between low-income minority and their middle-income white counter parts.
Low-income students are disproportionately affected by summer learning loss. On average, low-income students lose two months of reading skills, with losses accumulating over multiple summers.
The summer program at the B.P. Learned Mission of Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut is very a comprehensive program for children in first through fifth grades that provides a safe, nurturing environment, where children can grow and develop during time away from school.
Some of the activities provided are:
Daily theme-based enrichment activities: Activities are planned based on weekly themes and target development in the arts, science and math, literacy, writing, interpersonal development and positive communication skills, physical development, music, etc. For example, one week this summer children will be taking an adventure "Around the World in 14 Days" where they will learn about different continents and countries.
Reading program/activities: Many studies have shown that children's reading levels can decline during the summer months if they are not reading. To make reading an enjoyable activity BP implements several initiatives. Non-competitive incentives and rewards for reading in the form of BP "Bucks" that can be exchanged weekly for prizes from a BP "Store." Book clubs are offered where children can read age-appropriate books with their peers, volunteers and staff members. Supplemental reading materials are made available to go with enrichment activities.
Theater Program: BP produces three musical productions each year. One of these is produced during the summer months. Children are involved in all aspects of the production process.
Gardening: Children plant, tend, and harvest fruits and vegetables from nine garden beds over the summer months. They also learn how to cook with the produce that is grown.
Sports and Recreation: Children participate in cooperative and organized sports games. They are taught sportsmanship and the value of working together.
Educational Field Trips: Children have the chance to go on numerous field trips throughout the summer. These are connected to themes and subjects they learn about throughout the summer. Not only does this give children the chance to have a hands-on view of the world but they are taught about positive behavior in public and respecting the space of places we visit.
The goal in planning activities is not just to have children complete "busy work." It is to engage them in goal-oriented activities that are enjoyable but have clear academic, social, and emotional benefits.
All education programs benefit from meaningful parental engagement. We at the B.P. Learned Mission believe summer learning programs are no different. We aim to involve parents by encouraging children to participate in "mission activities" even at home. Many bring their scripts or CDs with show music on them home so they can practice with their parents and siblings. We have seen that this has increased literacy development even further.
According to a 2004 study, "The longitudinal effects of multi-year summer school," by Geoffrey D. Borman and N. Maritza Dowling, attending high-quality summer programs for multiple years can help close the achievement gap. We believe that the children who participate in the B.P. Learned Mission Summer Program of Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut benefit from the opportunities to learn and practice essential skills that will give them the tools to thrive academically and socially.
Richard D. Calvert is the chief operating officer of the Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut. You can reach the agency at 860-443-2896.

Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has been a favorite of many U.S. first ladies, including Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. But one name is still missing from his list: Michelle Obama.
De la Renta says he is not worried about not having Obama on his list of celebrity clients because for him what matters is dressing everyday women.
De la Renta says that "an anonymous woman on the street is the woman who influences fashion today, not a movie star or a first lady."
Obama has appeared on many best-dressed lists and De la Renta has been among the few who have criticized her choices, specifically her decision to wear a sweater when she met Queen Elizabeth II in 2009. The designer said that he had said nice things and made the comment to avoid "sounding like a package of sugar."
"It is a relation that began poorly and I think it will end the same way," the designer said Friday during a Mexico City fashion gala.

Survivor Series isn't what it once was. The traditional five-on-five matches are now almost an afterthought, and the WWE was ready to abandon the name earlier this year before reversing course during the summer.
Yet there was still a fairly strong survival theme built into this year's event at Miami's American Airlines Arena thanks to the plight of reluctant Nexus member John Cena. In a rare case of a guest referee overshadowing the participants in a title match, Cena vowed to do the right thing while officiating the bout between WWE Champion Randy Orton and challenger Wade Barrett despite the stipulation that he would be fired from the WWE if Orton retained.
Orton and Barrett started off the match with a good old fashioned staredown. Barrett beat Orton into the corner, but the champ turned the tables.
Cena stuck to his promise of calling the match down the middle, admonishing Barrett. This allowed Orton to connect on a drop kick. The fight spilled to the floor, as Barrett beat Orton into the apron and security barrier. The champ was then thrown into the steps.
Back in the ring, Barrett broke out the fisticuffs and went for a pin. The champ kicked out at two. Orton broke a headlock but ran right into a knee. Orton recovered and unloaded with punches of his own, and a series of clotheslines took Barrett to the mat. Orton then dumped him from the ring with another clothesline.
Outside the ring, Barrett drove the champ into the ring post, but the challenger made a crucial mistake trying to get Orton back in the ring. Orton connected with a back breaker, but Barrett kicked out of the pin.
Barrett exploded out of the corner with a clothesline and dropped an elbow from the second rope. Barrett slammed Orton to the mat with a pump handle but couldn't get the pin. Barrett hit a side slam, still to no avail. Barrett argued with Cena, allowing Orton to recover and clock Barrett with an uppercut. The champ followed with an elevated DDT. Orton slapped the mat, but Barrett rolled out of the ring.
Orton gave chase, allowing Barrett to knee Orton in the head and then hit the Wasteland. Barrett made the pin, but Orton grabbed the ropes. Barrett argued again and decided to slap Cena.
Cena had enough and shoved Barrett, unfortunately right into an RKO. Orton covered and Cena counted to three, giving Orton the win.
After the bell, Orton and Cena fought off the incoming members of Nexus. Cena presented Orton with his title and hugged his former rival. Orton walked to the back, while Cena took off all his arm bands, saluted the crowd, thanked Michael Cole, thanked the fans at home, ran through the crowd, and finally headed to the back.
The next WWE pay-per-view is TLC on December 19.
If you've been with us for the past few years, you know the drill by now. Nick's comments will be in plain type with Dale's remarks in italics.
Daniel Bryan (champion) vs. Ted DiBiase w/ Maryse (challenger) – US Title Match
Even in the three-man booth, Michael Cole continues to bury Bryan. The US champion connects on a suicide dive, and then follows with a missile drop kick back in the ring. Bryan drops DiBiase with a superplex after crotching him on the top rope. Bryan applies the Lebell Lock and DiBiase taps.
Winner … and still U.S. Champion … Daniel Bryan at nine minutes and 59 seconds
Match Rating: 6/10
After the match, as Bryan is leaving, The Miz bashes him in the head with the Money in the Bank briefcase. Miz crashes the ring with Alex Riley, comparing the Miami Heat to the Nexus. He also compares Wade Barrett to LeBron James because they both feel that they are entitled to a title.
That was a weird promo because Miz was doing the stereotypical heel thing by running down the local sports team, yet the Heat are actually this year's heels of the NBA outside of Miami. Elsewhere, Sheamus laughs off the suggestion that he has been bullying John Morrison. He does want to break him though, physically and mentally. SLAM! Wrestling (U.S. branch) timekeeper Brian Whorl also thinks Sheamus looks less pale than usual, but I suspect it's just the backstage lighting.
Sheamus vs. John Morrison
Morrison stuns Sheamus early by kicking him out of the ring and hitting a plancha over the top rope. Morrison fights Sheamus off the top rope and hits a flying cross body; Sheamus rolls through, picking Morrison up and slamming him to the mat. Morrison ducks the Brogue Kick and hits an enzuigiri. Sheamus chops Morrison off the ropes and locks in a single leg Boston crab. Morrison gets to the ropes to break the hold. Sheamus stops Morrison from hitting Starship Pain but gets caught in the ropes after missing a kick. Morrison takes out Sheamus with a flash kick and a knee to the face. Morrison covers for the win.
That actually looked more like a running crotch to the face to me, but whatever it takes to get the win, eh?
Winner … John Morrison at 11 minutes and 11 seconds
Match Rating: 6.5/10
Despite being told that Cena's predicament is none of his business, R-Truth has an idea: What if something accidentally happens to Randy Orton? Cena doesn't like it. He is going to call the match down the middle, because he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he doesn't.
Dolph Ziggler w/ Vickie Guerrero (champion) vs. Kaval (challenger) – Intercontinental Title match
Cole calls Kaval an internet darling, which is probably a derogatory statement coming from him. Ziggler keeps Kaval grounded for several minutes, but the challenger rallies with a series of kicks. A springboard moonsault and a painful looking cartwheel kick both earn Kaval near falls. Kaval misses a move off the top rope and looks like he almost destroys a knee landing on his feet. The wrestlers trade two counts with a Zig Zag and a springboard enzuigiri. In kind of a disjointed ending, Ziggler rolls up Kaval and grabs the tights (sort of) to get the pinfall. Not bad, but several spots seemed just a hair off.
Winner... and still Intercontinental Champion … Dolph Ziggler at nine minutes and 34 seconds
Match Rating: 6/10
Jack Swagger and "Dashing" Cody Rhodes are about to get into it over Swagger's choice of shoes when Alberto Del Rio arrives, flanked by Drew McIntyre and Tyler Reks. In his own charismatic fashion, Del Rio promises to buy everyone dinner if they beat Rey Mysterio's team. And they are guaranteed to win since Del Rio is their team captain. Rhodes says he has to admit that Del Rio is good.
At the 5:34 mark, Del Rio holds MVP's feet so he can't kick out of McIntyre's pin, and the hometown favorite is out. At 6:42, Masters taps to Del Rio's submission move. Big Show decks Del Rio with a big right hand, but he had already tagged McIntyre. Del Rio is taken to the back and apparently out of the match. Rhodes gets angry about Kingston hitting him in the face and leaves the match momentarily to examine it in the mirror on the back of his jacket. Big Show hits him even harder when he returns, pinning him at 10:55. At 15:06, Kingston runs wild and ends up pinning Reks. Kofi doesn't have long to celebrate, as he taps to Swagger's Ankle Lock less than a minute later. At 17:31, Swagger gets hit with a 619 and Rey's splash off Show's shoulders, and he's gone. That leaves McIntyre alone against Big Show and Mysterio. It doesn't take long for Show to track him down and deliver a choke slam, and that's all she wrote. Not a bad match for the only traditional five-on-five bout, and the crowd seemed to be digging it throughout.
Winners and survivors… The Big Show and Rey Mysterio at 18 minutes and 9 seconds
Match Rating: 7/10
Josh Mathews asks Randy Orton about John Cena. The champ is sick and tired of talking about Cena, and is instead thinking about how he will beat Wade Barrett.
My mom always told me to say something nice or not to say anything, so… I thought it was pretty funny during the feud leading up to this match when LayCool compared Natalya to her dad in the looks department. This one doesn't last long, as Nattie makes McCool tap out to the Sharpshooter, capturing the gold. The heels try to physically express their displeasure at losing after the bell, but a returning Beth Phoenix makes the save. Despite Dale's urging, Beth does not punk Natalya.
Winner… and new Diva's Champion … Natalya at 3 minutes and 35 seconds.
Match Rating: 2.5/10
A video package recaps the feud between Kane and Edge. Do you think that when the WWE told Paul Bearer he would have an on-screen role again, they warned him that he'd spend most of his time tied up with Edge throwing stuff at him? I'm just wondering.
Edge pushes a wheelchair out to the ring but does not produce Paul Bearer. This is a slow, slow match that drags some of the enthusiasm out of the fans at times. The action picks up later with a series of decent counters. Kane hits a choke slam only to see Edge kick out at the last second. The challenger hits the next move but can only drape one arm across Kane's chest while lying on his back himself. The three count is made and the ring announcer calls Edge the winner. But wait: the ref shakes his head and hands the belt back to Kane. It turns out both men's shoulders were down, so the match is a no contest. The fans boo the confusing ending.
Draw… and still World Heavyweight Champion … Kane at 12 minutes and 48 seconds
Match Rating: 4/10
Wade Barrett drops in on John Cena. Barrett reminds Cena that this is the arena where the Nexus made their mark. Barrett tells Cena to do his job and he will be free of the Nexus. Cena tells Barrett he knows exactly what he is doing.
Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov (challengers) vs. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater w/ Nexus (champions) – WWE Tag Team Title Match
Maybe Kozlov is turning Santino into a serious wrestler. He dodges two quick attacks from Gabriel. Kozlov takes down Slater with a vicious clothesline and tags in Santino, who breaks out the Cobra. First he chases Nexus off the apron, but this allows Slater to attack and get the pin.
Winner… and still WWE Tag Team champions … Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel at 5 minutes and 9 seconds
After the match, Nexus hits the ring, and the anonymous GM fires off an email. He just wanted to remind Nexus that they are banned from ringside. If anyone interferes the entire group will be suspended.
Wade Barrett (challenger) vs. Randy Orton (champion) – John Cena Special Referee - WWE Title Match
Winner… and still WWE champion … Randy Orton at 15 minutes and 14 seconds.
Match Rating: 5/10
Total Event Time: 2 hours and 50 minutes
Event Rating: 6/10
