Like I Said Earlier…
by Logistics Monster | Dec 29, 2009 | Uncategorized | 15 comments
On December 8th, I put up a post about O'Reilly endorsing the idea of a 3rd political party to run in the 2010 and 2012 elections. I stated that I although I love the idea of a 3rd party, the timing for such an event would be devastating and guarantee Obama another term, and the dems would destroy whatever liberty we have left.
Reality Check #3:
For a long time I believed that everyone should become an independent or a non-affiliated voter and then make the two parties bring us candidates we would vote for. I no longer think we have the luxury of time to make that happen, and here's why. In many states, if you are an indie, you are not allowed to vote in primaries so smaller and smaller percentages of the two major parties would be putting forth candidates for everybody to vote on. Just look at NY-23 where the dem and the repub were barely indistinguishable, and then imagine that across every district in the nation. Neither of these parties are interested in "selling" candidates to indies no matter what they say. Democrats have been the party of corruption since the very beginning with their continued support of slavery. Republicans have been corrupted by progressivism. I believe the plan needs to shift to all indies changing their registrations to Republican and then working for the candidates they believe in and voting out all the rinos. Find constitutional candidates, support them, volunteer for them, donate, knock on doors, and then get them past the primary and general elections. Once that happens, you ride the crap outta them to make sure they behave or vote them out again. You can never be asleep or uninvolved again.
I guess I wasn't clear enough about my meaning when I stated that I thought all indies should register as republicans. This DOES NOT mean you are espousing the current republican mantra of roll over and play dead; this espouses being part of the BORG Movement that absorbs and cleanses the republican hierarchy of all the RINOs through sheer numbers, and using the RP as a means to defeat the democratic socialists. The RP has an extensive infrastructure already in place, and a third party just does not have the time necessary to be effective in the 2010 elections.
I guess I wasn't the only one with the idea, and this gentleman has stated it much more succinctly than I ever could have.
The tea party misconception
By Eric Odom
My most recent post over at TaxDayTeaParty.com has sparked a pretty intense debate over ideas of where the movement should focus its electoral attention in 2010.
I put up a generic poll that now shows overwhelming support for the movement to move in on the GOP as its vessel for 2010 and 2012. There were a lot of logic based arguments against the idea, but some of them are completely off the mark. In fact, some of them expose the misconception that currently plagues the movement as a whole.
The 2009 TEA Parties began as an appeal to freedom from government control, just like the original Boston Tea Party. Aligning with either just the Republicans or just the Democrats is a mistake. We must make it clear this movement is about letting the people decide, not the politians. I've seen too many instances of either party trying to cram a candidate down the throats of the grassroot people, regardless of what's being requested by the people. California's upcoming senatorial race is a good example, where the RNC is choosing Carly Fiorina, yet the majority want Chuck DeVore.
The people didn't join the TEA Parties because they wanted republican or democrat. If they did want that, they'd go to their local RNC or DNC office.
At some point, the tea party movement needs to get over its apparent fear of politics. Or maybe its hatred of politics, which is understandable, but not necessary at this point if we wish to be successful in the electoral fight.
With regards to the comment above, since when has anyone suggested the movement "align" itself with the existing establishment? A common misconception among tea party activists is that the mere suggestion of using the GOP as a vessel to carry our agenda and candidates immediately means we wish to align ourselves with its existing ilk.
The individual who made this comment talks of the party as if it's a mystical, grand group power house political machines that dictate their will on us regardless of what we want or say. When in reality, the party only does what it does because we allow it to.
We have no one to blame but ourselves.
Love or hate the Ron Paul movement, you have to admit they put up a fantastic example of how possible it is to literally take over a party. Their problem, in my opinion, was marketing and lack of critical mass.
The tea party movement has both. Especially the critical mass.
To my fellow patriots in the movement, I would suggest we stop playing the victim card when it comes to the Republican party. If we're victims, it's because we let a noisy minority beat us our of the process.
We need to stop complaining about the party structure as it exist today and move in to take it over. Go to meetings, meet with precinct captains, start organizing groups, start getting angry and start raising hell at the local level.
And as a final note, there is nothing wrong with the suggestion that we move in on the GOP. Let's not pretend the suggest means something that it doesn't. (emphasis mine)
We have two options in 2010. One is very risky… the third party route. If we win, we gain much. But if we lose, we lose our country. And in turn, our liberty.
The second is far less risky, but involves the use of the GOP as a vessel for our movement.
The reality is, there are some VERY powerful people controlling our country. They aren't going down easy, and at this point, I'm guessing they hope we'll choose the first option.
About eric:
Eric Odom is project manager for Blogivists.com. A web strategist by trade, Odom is currently working to develop infrastructure for activists within the liberty movement.
In Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada, for example, two nights ago, the majority of the republican party in Clark County actually resigned because so many tea party activists had moved in and started taking over the party at the local level.
I think the reality is that the republican party needs to understand it can't win as an entity that supports moderate republicans, and a good question to ask, well a statement, I don't think anybody can say with a straight face that John McCain would have won last year if he had become a little more moderate.

An Open Letter To The RNC
A Turning Point For Republicans?
Kathy on December 29, 2009 at 1:11 pm
I am with you about the 3rd party, I voted for a 3rd party once and got Clinton, as a Republican I voted against an incumbent.
The primaries are vital in getting the people we want into play.I understand standing on principal but that is not always going to send the message. The Republicans may make hay out of lot of new voters but they will know what is going on and the better back the people we want. You can change your party how ever often you want, so if you are not happy with outcome send another message next election.

Brava, Diamond, and Bravo, Eric O. The idea of a third party is a nice one in theory; however, it has been demonstrated time and again that third parties simply make it easier for basically unpopular candidates to win by little more than simple attrition.
We do not have the time or the money to make a third party into the viable, powerful machine necessary to defeat an organization so deeply corrupt and entrenched as the DNC. Therefore, we must act accordingly and work to make what we have–e.g., the RNC–represent the views and interests of most Americans. Recent polls have determined that a CLEAR MAJORITY of Americans IN EVERY STATE consider themselves conservative. This includes the states of New York, New Jersey, California and Massachusetts, long thought to be liberal strongholds. Ergo, it would appear that if the MAJORITY of Americans come together with the TeaParty movement and embrace the work necessary to make the RNC our own, e.g., force them to represent the interests of the majority, we just may be able to snatch a victory for our Republic from the jaundiced jaws of defeat with which the current regime has tried to crush us.
lee M. on December 29, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Gotcha, Diamond. Great idea. This Independent will now become a Republican after saying that I would never belong to a party again. I was sorta sad about not being able to vote in the Primary, but this way I can get all my votes in while helping to take over the Republican Party. Going to a lot of surprised faces around here in 2010 if all these once dems now indys turn republican.
The usurpers stole our party now we can go out and steal another one for ourselves. Whooeee, this should be an interesting year.
Granny Gripes on December 29, 2009 at 8:37 pm

Below is a letter sent by Indianapolis anesthesiologist, Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, to Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN):
Senator Bayh,
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is DANGEROUS and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all.
Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress WILL BE A DISASTER IF PASSED.
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill.
You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens… READ THESE CAREFULLY AND JUST IMAGINE WHAT COULD RESULT ………..
Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!

Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time employees AND their families. (Employees shouldn't get excited about this employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits, and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense) UNSUSTAINABLE.

Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!' Unbelievable!
Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee." (Can you say HC by phone?)
Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult." (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)
Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. (And it's mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.')
Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!)
Page 429 Lines 1-9: An "advanced-care planning consultant" will be used frequently as a patient's health deteriorates.
Page 429 Lines 10-12: An "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end-of-life plans.. (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?!?)
Page 429 Lines 13-25: The GOVT will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order. (I wouldn't want to stand before God after getting paid for THAT job!)
Page 430 Lines 11-15: The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end-of-life! (Again — no choice!)
Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations. (Hello? ACORN Medical Services here!?!)
Page 489 Sec 1308: The Govt will cover marriage and family therapy.
(Which means Govt will insert itself into your marriage even.)
Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.
Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.
Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
Stephen E. Fraser, MD
Dear Reader, I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power that may soon be taken away) and circulate this letter to as many people as you can reach. The "Power of the People" can stop this from happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our children, and to following generations.
Diamond Tiger on December 29, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I want to add one more thing and I hope people read all the way down to the end of the comments. Becoming a republican does not mean sending your money to the RNC. Instead send it straight to the candidates you support and nothing for the national committee that is in league with the DNC.

NormaJean on December 30, 2009 at 5:59 am
Exactly right Diamond, the hierarchy of the RNC is continuing to display the elitist mentality. NO MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE RNC, SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE!! When the RNC was questioned during a meeting about the unconstitutionality of the health care mandate, the response was it doesn't become unconstitutional until it's in effect and has cause. For me, my ears heard another …"alleged terrorist statement". Granted, we all understand the how the legalities will play out, however…I would have liked to hear a response of support rather than defense? The RNC still have their eyes and ears on numbers and demographics only. From what I heard it's all about what's politically expedient and politically correct. All they want is a lot of money to do whatever they want to do, they are STILL not listening to us. This will require each of us to do our part in getting our candidate into the primaries. The RNC is tossing their hands in the air telling us, we select the candidates……..so let's do it, and stop them from supporting their leftist liberals in republicans clothing. We got a major shove down here in Florida for Rubio. No one living here who can read, can't understand Crist is and has supported the other camp. It's just business as usual for them. We cannot count on the RNC to wake up and stop pushing their RHINO candidates on us.
However, political suicide to make a point is still suicide. Let's continue to bring back the Republican party through persuasion exhorting it to go back to the conservative principles. We must become such a powerful force that the GOP leadership cannot ignore us as they have done in the past. Reach-across-the-aisle moderate candidates are what got the country in the mess it's in today. What's needed is a message of calm strength and common sense solutions to issues that benefit all Americans, not just special interest groups. We need to make sure they got the message and realized their mistake in the NY 23 race backing a liberal candidate. Hopefully, they'll follow if we show them the way.
Send your money, energy and time to individuals who will support our constitution and love this republic. A lot of new faces will be on the 2010 political scene trying to be elected as reformers. They need to be carefully vetted. The Tea party needs to be a movement within the Republican party. We have to make the Republican party what it used to be and then make them stay out. If we split then we hand a victory over to the progressives for Obama.
Everyone has a role in this no matter how big or how small. Each one of us have God given talents that are greatly needed if we have any hope in swinging this around. Please get involved, we are in for one heck of a fight in 2010!

Poll Question: Should we pay for skin grafts for panty bomber?

Ann on December 30, 2009 at 8:19 am
This is interesting. Congressman Boehner tried to take over the Tea Party event in Bakersfield. He would NOT take no for an answer. They finally had to tell him, "we paid for the permits and you are NOT invited to speak at our event." The GOP tried to infiltrate the Tea Party movement and claim those constituents as their own.
That is why the TP movement does not want to bend. They do not want to be anyone's pawn or give the impression they are not bi-partisan.
I'm unaffiliated. I do believe that the conservatives should infiltrate the GOP as the radicals have done to the Democrat party. My father, a life-long Dem would not recognize the party. I do think that the Paul example is a very good one. Why build a whole new structure. I can stay "unaffiliated" and vote in the primaries. If my state doesn't allow it, I change to the party with my candidate of choice, vote and change back. The NRSC is a real problem of the "good old boys club" DeMint is right to stay and make a change in the GOP. Right now neither party has anything to offer except a few individuals with convictions and principles such as Chuck DeVore, Jim DeMint, and Jason Chaffetz. All endorsed by the Independence Caucus that holds your same view.

What you all are talking about is the Precinct Strategy.
go to http://www.wagthedog2010.com. Watch the video, "strangest political secret" . If that appeals to you as a compliment to the TeaParty movement, then keep digging here: http://joinprimarychallenge.com/
Listen: 2010 is going to be an exciting year. Do any of you know what's brewing over at Justice right about now? Heads are going to roll because Like I told you before…this whole NWO scheme is unraveling as we speak, and like the proverbial can of worms, once opened they will not be able to put the lid back on. You saw what happened at Nopenhagen…an utter, contemptable embarrassment that exposed these "ass-hats" for what they really are! But do you know what? That was just what we see on the surface. Behind the scenes, it's completely chaotic, spiralling out of control.
If we aren't ready to take back our country or, are not making quick strides in making that happen, the result will be pretty devastating, in short, if you want to call yourself an American now, you'd better be ready to step up to the plate because you're not on deck, you're next up! We can no longer remain uninformed about how our government is supposed to run. We no longer have the luxury of complaining and writing letters. We must now roll up our sleeves and get to work. There will not be law-abiding, constitutionally minded candidates for us to vote for as we "Vote The Bums Out!" unless we do like stated so well above, and take over the party so that such candidates will be on the ballots. It all starts at the grassroots level, the precincts in all the counties all over these united states. Find out about it…get in the battle.
Rhodes on January 6, 2010 at 1:08 am
My thoughts exactly. Whatever we in the TP decide to do in the long run we have one chance to save this Republic in November and the sure path must be taken as it does not prevent us from taking the other in 2012 should it be required.
Time is our enemy we cannot allow this government two more years of complete one party control.

As historic as his 70-touchdown season was, it did not emerge out of thin air. The junior transferred from Delta High School before this past season, having played against New Palestine and his current teammates the previous year.
As a freshman at Delta, Charlie ran for 1,958 yards and scored 17 touchdowns. His sophomore year, he totaled 2,385 rushing yards and 33 scores.
"He's definitely the most physical runner I've ever seen," senior New Palestine lineman Alex Cotterman says. "He absolutely loves contact. As physically as he runs, he doesn't fumble, and he can catch the ball. I don't understand how he hasn't been recruited more."
His statistics from this past season could've been even better. Charlie didn't appear in roughly half of his team's fourth quarters this season because the score was so lopsided. He often didn't log a single carry in the second half.
No real offers doesn't make much sense.
Sometimes players simply get overlooked because they don't fit a "type". Numbers say this kid can play (and contribute) but I get the feeling the college coaches can't figure out where.
While I know baseball and football are vastly different, it is similar to what my son experienced in that sport. He was small (5'10 175) and was a pitcher/middle infielder. Fastball in low 80's as junior in high school (small school 3A) but great ERA, strikeout to walk ratio and win percentage, including very solid performances against higher classification schools. He went to showcases and performed well. But every coach in attendance seem locked on the pitchers "six foot or taller with a fastball in the upper 80's".
It wasn't until the third round of the state playoffs as a senior that one of the four year schools took notice (several JC's were talking with him) while they were there scouting a player on the other team. He threw a three hitter, gave up one earned run, walked two and struck out six in the win. And that night was hitting 86-87 mph on the gun.
He then had 3 schools offer him the chance to "walk on". However by that time he had decided not to play in college.
This kid will get offers late....once coaches figure out that all kids don't need to fit a type in order to help you win.

Alabama has a formula for recruiting for each position. Height/weight/40/cone drill/etc. A player is evaluated and if you don't fit the numbers, you won't be recruited. It's cold but it works. I highly recommend Phil Savage's book "4th and Goal Everyday" if you want a peek inside The Process from recruiting to player development. It's very insightful, especially when you see players like this and wonder why they don't get offered.
From all accounts the kid's a gamer and tough as nails.....his speed (or lack of) would seem to me to be the hurdle.
This is great...but then you miss the kids like Nick Mullens who is now starting in the NFL. You can't measure heart...at least that's what CPB said.
Fair, but you have to admit that Saban's system works.
This is true and it's something discussed in the book. There are those that don't meet the numbers that end up being stars. But, the formula works so much more than it doesn't work. Big guys beat up smaller guys more often than not.
You mean the Nick Mullens that was 6'0 and 170 pounds coming out of Spain Park in 2013?
Some guys fall through the cracks. Others might know the game but haven't physically matured yet. It's just part of it.
My point precisely...4-5 star athletes are usually fully mature physically...others may be still growing into their bodies, etc. The question of evaluation is really this: "How will that person look as a player in 2-3 years?
Not to sound snarky, but unless they have clear indicators (like parents who are athletes and developed physically late), this is a total crap shoot. Saban is not going to play craps with his team. Other teams have to - Alabama does not.


On Friday we visited Thailand's famous floating market. The market had been known for its vastness and as a place where people would do their daily shopping. Today, it is a place where Thai people hawk their goods, wears and foods to tourists. Make no mistake, it is quite amazing. Tens of Thai merchants, rowing their boats, selling goods to eagar tourists in long narrow boats. Here too, Thailands traffic is a problem. Floating market consumers colliding their boats with merchant boats. Peaceful but hectic - everywhere there are people pushing Thai silk, mango sticky rice, soup, meatballs and sausage. It is a sight to see.
Speaking of meatballs and sausage. (Now that's a way to start out a paragraph!) Thai's love their meatballs and sausage. I say this partially because I have no idea what the majority of the street food was, but I do know the format. Meatballs or sausages. Shrimp, chicken, pork, insects - all either ground up, made round in a ball and skewered on a stick; or ground up and stuffed into a casing to make a sausage form. On the street, I really could not tell, nor was I brave enough to try the items to figure it out - but at our hotel breakfast, there were signs telling us what everything was. "Fish Balls" "BBQ Chicken (sausage)" "stewed pork (sausage)" "vegetable balls". Breakfast, lunch and dinner, either in the form of a sausage or a meatball.
On our way back from the floating market tour we stopped at a wood carving workshop. It was a roadside attraction created for tourists, but it was truly amazing. Thai men and women sat hunched over blocks of wood carving the most amazing things. There was a giant dining room table with the entire top carved as elephants on top of each other - 3 Dimensional with glass over top. I really wanted it. Jeremy reminded me that it was $20,000 and wouldn't quite work in our condo at the Groveland. Alas, I admired and walked on. When we were done looking we sat and waited for the other couple that was on our tour. As with the previous stops on this tour 'Mr. and Mrs. Tour guest strangers' took quite a while. Jeremy and I found some giant wood carved patio furniture (that I also felt would be nice at the Groveland) and we waited. We waited and waited. After quite a while Jeremy turns to me and asks, "What do you think your dad would do if we called him and told him, 'Jay - uh, we are lost, stuck in a wood carving workshop somewhere in Thailand. We don't know where we are, but we know there is a lot of carved wood and we need to get out.'?" I laughed, thinking of Jay Weinblatt on the other end. He would first try to call the police: "Police, my daughter and her husband are stuck in a Thai wood carving factory and they need help" The police would likely hang up. He would then try the state department, who would ask for details and he would say, "a wood carving factory, with a large elephant table, that's all I know". We laughed. Looked at each other, got a bit nervous and went to find our guide!
Thankfully, we were not lost at a woodcarving workshop. Thankfully Jay Weinblatt did not need to send out the FBI. And thankfully, I know if we were, he would come a lookin'.
We're back - safe and sound - and sunburned.

What church are you from?
I live in Newcastle and go to Newcastle church. Do you happen to go there?
There is a debate going on at the moment about the usage of word "Mass". I guess it would be better for us all to stick to the word "Liturgy" rather than "Mass".
So you probably remember me and my wife Phiby dear irinipasi. MY name is Fady, moved to Newcastle 3 years ago... do we know each other?
A church in Sydney, Australia... we have one liturgy in arabic and the other in english and both have 1:1 ratio each of coptic and arabic / english..

In session before the sun was up on Friday, the U.S. Senate voted along party lines to shut off debate on the nomination of Betsy DeVos to be Secretary of Education in a Trump Administration, moving her one step closer to joining President Trump's Cabinet early next week.
While two Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, are ready to vote against DeVos, they stuck with the GOP this morning on this procedural vote, as Democrats tried in vain to use a filibuster to block the DeVos nomination.
"The nominee for the Secretary of Education is one of the worst that has ever been brought before this body for a Cabinet position," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), as Democrats have zeroed in on DeVos's education record.
"Betsy DeVos could not answer simple questions about our education system," said Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE).
"She'll be an excellent Education Secretary in my judgment," said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN).
The final vote on DeVos is expected Tuesday.
After that, Republicans will move to confirm Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as Attorney General, though Democrats have vowed to slow the process whenever they can.

New York Partially Bans Crypto Mining
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has signed a law that partially restricts cryptocurrency mining
New York has enacted a two-year moratorium on proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining operations powered by fossil fuel, becoming the first state in the country to do so.
Governor Kathy Hochul, who was elected to a full term in early November, signed the controversial environmental ban on Tuesday.
In her statement, Hochul said that she wanted New York to remain the center of financial innovation, but the governor also stressed the importance of environmental protection.
The bill was passed by the New York State Senate in early June.
New York has become an attractive place for crypto mining businesses because of its cheap hydroelectric energy sources. Miners also took advantage of the abundance of shuttered fossil fuel power plants in the state.
However, crypto businesses attracted strong backlash from local environmental groups for using plenty of energy and threatening the state's climate goals by refiring fossil abandoned fuel-burning power plants and significantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Last year, some residents of upstate New York started complaining about a local Bitcoin mining facility turning Seneca Lake into a hot tub.
The cryptocurrency mining industry strongly lobbied against the bill, claiming that the ban would stifle the sector's growth.
Still, The enacted moratorium is not as harsh as the previously proposed bills, which would ban any cryptocurrency mining activity in the state for three years.

Volcan Look Discotheque. is located 4 Km West from downtown La Fortuna, Arenal. The club is one of the largest in Costa Rica. Great place to go dancing and to get a drink with some friends. The club opens only from Wednesday through Saturday, but you can expect some great DJs and live music on weekends, Latin style, Reggae style and electronic style.


I called a motel and told them that someone walked in on me while I was giving myself some "self loving" in the room. This number was sent to me as a request, and I was told that "Kathy" is often very rude and unhelpful. She wasn't ready to meet "Tyrone" :P Please Like and share the video if you enjoy it!

Q: Passing a scope variable to a directive I can see my data in the console.log I just don't understand why I can't access it with $scope.$parent.locations. What am I missing?
coupons.html

directive
.directive("couponsRepeater", function() {
  return {
    compile: function(elem, attr) {
      return function($scope, $element, $attr) {
        console.log($scope.$parent); // in the console I see "locations" which is the data I need
        console.log($scope.$parent[$attr.couponsRepeater]); // comes back undefined - this is the call I would like to use because it's dynamic
        console.log($scope.$parent.locations); // comes back undefined
      }
    }
  }
})

CouponsCtrl
.controller('CouponsCtrl', function ($scope, $state, $http, $ionicLoading, userService) {
    $scope.locations = {one:1, two:2, three:3};
})

A: It's because $attr.couponsRepeater is undefined where as attr.couponsRepeater has the value you are looking for.
On a side note, using $parent to access data is not a good idea, your directive should be using an isolated scope and the parent should pass data to it via other attributes. Example JSFiddle here.
app.directive("couponsRepeater", function() {
  return {
      restrict: 'A',
      scope: {
          locations: '=couponsRepeater'
      },
      link:function (scope, ele, attrs) {
          console.log(scope.locations);
      }
  }
});

Labs that Close the Gap
Digital Reskilling Lab
Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard
Digital Value Lab
Harvard Business School has been teaching executives how to make their businesses more competitive for decades. Many of the lessons remain true. Some need updating because new technologies are challenging our assumptions. Digital technologies are disrupting the old ways of competing.
Digital demands a new mindset. And not just in customer facing parts of the business. Or supply chain. New data sources and algorithms present opportunities in every function. They change how value is created, captured, and measured.
The Digital Value Lab is established to look at how to measure and drive digital and big data driven transformations in organizations. How can companies get the best return on their digital investments? What are the implications of data inputs and algorithms to the way companies make decisions? How does performance change when we make data-driven decisions?
Adopting big data techniques allows us to change the cadence of decision making. Think of motorsport and the changes that can happen in a mid-race pitstop. The same can happen across the enterprise. Why stick to annual financial plans when we can make quicker decisions with more up-to-date data? Can we introduce more race track dynamism into our operations?
Lab researchers adopt a variety of methods in their research from large sample empirical analysis, surveys and interviews, and in-depth case studies.
The Digital Value Lab is led by:
Suraj Srinivasan, Philip J. Stomberg Professor of Business Administration, Unit Head, Accounting and Management. He holds a PhD in Business Administration from Harvard Business School.
Affiliated Faculty and Researchers
The following faculty and doctoral students are active researchers in the Lab.
Jung Koo Kang, Assistant Professor of Business Administration. He holds a Phd in Accounting from the University of Southern California.
Yuan Zou, Assistant Professor of Business Administration. She holds a Phd in Accounting from Columbia University.
Brian Baik, Assistant Professor of Business Administration. He holds a Phd in Accounting from the MIT Sloan School of Management
Wilbur Chen, Assistant Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He holds a PhD in Accounting from Harvard Business School.
Sean Cao, Associate Professor at Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland. He holds a PhD in Accountancy from University of Illinois and a Master in Computer Software & Algorithms from Beijing Normal University.
Siyu Zhang, Doctoral Student in Accounting and Management, Harvard Business School
Terrence Shi, Doctoral Student in Accounting and Management, Harvard Business School
Robin Seibert, Visiting Researcher at Harvard Business School and Doctoral Student in Business Economics at Heinrich-Heine-University Duesseldorf
Activities/Research Focus
The mission of the Digital Value Lab is to understand the impact of big data and digital transformation on performance and value creation in organizations. Research focus areas are:
Digital Performance Impact
How should firms calculate digital return on investment (ROI) and what factors determine success?
What is the impact of digital transformation on performance?
How do investors value digital transformation in companies?
How can non-technology companies improve the outcomes of their digital investments?
What is the performance impact of data-driven decision-making?
AI and big data in Banking and Capital Markets
How do banks incorporate artificial intelligence in their credit decision processes?
Where do digitization and automation fit into lending strategies?
How do fintech lenders add value?
Impact lending: How can AI help financial inclusion?
How can big data be incorporated into financial analysis and valuation of companies?
How can boards of directors provide effective oversight to opportunity and risk created by AI and big data?
Lab researchers are undertaking a large-scale survey of boards of directors and their AI orientation.
How should organizations manage the risks created by the "AI enterprise"?
Chief Data Officers
The advent of the big data revolution has created a new C-suite executive, the Chief Data Officer. Who are CDOs, what do they do, and how is their role evolving?
What are the challenges facing CDOs today?
How do CDOs do to drive data driven decision making?
The lab researchers are undertaking a large scale survey of CDOs.
The AI-Augmented CFO
How are the accounting and finance functions in organizations changing from big data and AI adoption?
How is digital transformation impacting the future of the CFO function?
How do big data and AI change budgeting and forecasting?
AI/Digital Investments
How are companies developing digital and data capabilities? Should they develop in-house capabilities or acquire them?
What is the ROI on technology acquisitions by non-tech companies?
How do companies integrate technology acquisitions?
The Digital, Data, and Design Institute at Harvard catalyzes new knowledge to invent a better future by solving ambitious challenges.

Gardening: 'Organic' or not, give farmers a break
20/09/2018 by Mark Ninnim
A few years ago, a news report announced the results of a study in which it was determined that organic vegetables had, on average, the same nutrient levels as inorganic vegetables. At first, I was amused. Someone actually spent a bunch of money to figure this out. But then I was shocked at the surprise evidenced by the people commenting on the story.
People are equally stunned by a study that came out a year or two ago that showed that "certified organic" vegetable growers had fewer beneficial organisms, applied more chemicals and still had higher rates of disease and pests than non-certified businesses. I also have stood in the farmers' markets and listened as vendors claim they are "spray free." And I look at their vegetables and fruit and I know they are misrepresenting their businesses.
I don't blame them. Much of the public now thinks "spray free" is synonymous with "organic." It is far easier to tell your customers what they want to hear than to try to educate them. The puzzle of pesticide use is a vast tangle that takes time to sort out. And few customers want to listen to a 20-minute diatribe on a Saturday morning when they just want to get their produce and get on with their day. But I also know that those same customers would never, ever purchase a truly spray-free apple. They are too ugly and misshapen.
In the United States, growers are allowed to use the word "organic," or anything related to that word, only if they have been officially certified by the government. The certification process starts with at least five years of documentation regarding what you grow, how you grow it and where you grow it.
After that time you can apply, at which point your farm is inspected regularly to make sure the processes you claim are actually the processes you use. Any seeds must be from a farm that is certified organic. Any chemicals must be certified for organic use. And, oh, by the way, organic seeds and chemicals are vastly more expensive. Irrigation, water runoff, crop rotation, harvesting, handling, packaging, shipping, and equipment are all watched carefully — and all must be continually documented. So when you complain that your organic produce costs too much at the grocery, just remember what the farmer has had to endure to get that rating and keep it.
Farmers are often accused of tossing sprays and fertilizers about like candy, killing wildlife and polluting the rivers. And all their plowing caused the erosion that clogged the Chesapeake Bay and destroyed the East Coast fishing industry. But please understand: sprays of any kind are expensive. So is fertilizer. In an economy where absolutely every penny counts and a work week regularly includes 15-hour days, seven days a week, a farmer is not likely to waste either time or money spraying anything that isn't absolutely necessary. As for soils, "no-till" practices came into effect in the early 1900s. Farmers spend a lot of time and effort improving their soils, and if the soil in the fields has run into the river, it isn't there to grow the crops.
Therefore, most "non-organic" growers also use methods that keep their soil healthy. They keep close watch on the chemicals they use and their costs. They carefully educate themselves as to the pros and cons of each of those chemicals, both on the humans that eat their food and on the environment and ecosystem in which they grow them. They watch their waste and figure out how to use it so that it improves their farmland. They plant areas to invite beneficial insects and organisms to their sites. And they rely on healthy plants, healthy soil and proper watering to control many of their pest and disease issues. All "sustainable" practices. Which, simply put, means they are gardening in a manner that will make the farm just more productive for their children and grandchildren. But they can't use the "O" word because they haven't undergone the rigorous government requirements.
However, in all my years of gardening, I have met three commercial gardeners who truly do not spray anything. All three are small farms, and they have carefully vetted and chosen the produce that will work on their properties. They make major sacrifices to maintain this principle. One gave up $20,000 annual profit in basil sales because she couldn't raise it without spraying fungicide. That is not a small number for a farming operation.
Unfortunately, I think the public's perception of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is the biggest loss in the fight against chemicals. Since mankind began farming, plants were chosen for flavor, looks, and insect and disease resistance. Seeds were gathered from these plants and replanted the next year. And guess what, folks? This is the most basic form of genetic modifying. Broccoli, cauliflower, corn and many other vegetables would not exist except for the fact that humans were picky about the things they ate.
Today, I'll admit, it's a bit scary because we can do with one tweak under a microscope what used to take hundreds of years to accomplish. And I don't agree with all the modifications. But to be able to change a gene that allows a plant to resist disease or insects?
Bananas are one of the most important sources of food worldwide. Yet, we are on the verge of losing all the bananas in the world due to a blight. Once it's introduced to a field, bananas can no longer be grown there. Much of our lost tropical habitats are the result of banana growers clearing new land to replace their blight-infested fields. A blight-resistant GMO banana currently exists. However, the major banana producers refuse to grow it because they fear the reaction of the public.
In America, sweet corn needs a tremendous amount of insecticide to get it to market blemish free. There is also a GMO sweet corn that needs no insecticide. Again, it is rarely used for fear of customer perception. Thus far, there has been no evidence of a GMO vegetable that causes harm to the humans that eat it.
So I ask for a bit of reason and education in our public. Find out all about what you are protesting and make sure it is bad before you protest it. And please, give your farmers a break. Most want to produce a safe and healthy product while keeping their farmlands productive for many years to come.

How flowering plants conquered the world
28/05/2018 28/05/2018 by Mark Ninnim
Image caption Angiosperms produce flowers and fruits, which contain their seeds.
Scientists think they have the answer to a puzzle that baffled even Charles Darwin: How flowers evolved and spread to become the dominant plants on Earth.
Flowering plants, or angiosperms, make up about 90% of all living plant species, including most food crops.
In the distant past, they outpaced plants such as conifers and ferns, which predate them, but how they did this has has been a mystery.
New research suggests it is down to genome size – and small is better.
"It really comes down to a question of cell size and how you can build a small cell and still retain all the attributes that are necessary for life," says Kevin Simonin from San Francisco State University in California, US.
'Abominable mystery'
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Earth was dominated by ferns and conifers. Then, about 150 million years ago, the first flowering plants appeared on the scene.
They quickly spread to all parts of the world, changing the landscape from muted green to a riot of vibrant colour.
Image caption Angiosperms are the most diverse group of land plants, with hundreds of thousands of known species
The reasons behind the incredible success and diversity of flowering plants have been debated for centuries.
Charles Darwin himself called it an "abominable mystery", fearing this apparent sudden leap might challenge his theory of evolution.
Simonin and co-researcher Adam Roddy, of Yale University, wondered if the size of the plant's genetic material – or genome – might be important.
The biologists analysed data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants, which include conifers and Ginkgo) and ferns.
'Strong evidence'
They then compared genome size with anatomical features such as the abundance of pores on leaves.
This provides "strong evidence", they say, that the success and rapid spread of flowering plants around the world is down to "genome downsizing".
By shrinking the size of the genome, which is contained within the nucleus of the cell, plants can build smaller cells.
In turn, this allows greater carbon dioxide uptake and carbon gain from photosynthesis, the process by which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Angiosperms can pack more veins and pores into their leaves, maximising their productivity.
The researchers say genome-downsizing happened only in the angiosperms, and this was "a necessary prerequisite for rapid growth rates among land plants".
"The flowering plants are the most important group of plants on Earth and now we finally know why they have been so successful," they say.
For instance, why were flowering plants able to shrink their genomes more than others? And why do ferns and conifers still exist, despite their large genomes and cells?

Five smart gardening tools that will save you time
Connected gardening gadgets free you up for more interesting, creative gardening while saving that most precious of resources – time
For those horny-handed sons of toil who equate gardening with hard labour, or technophobes who prefer to call a spade a spade rather than a non-automated digging apparatus, the proliferation of gardening gadgets on the market may seem bewildering, even unnecessary.
But taking advantage of technology that handles routine jobs leaves you free for the more interesting horticultural pursuits, such as propagation or sowing seeds.
Here are five garden tools to save you that most precious of resources – time.
Made local: the Husqvarna Automower is manufactured in Britain, made to withstand British climate – rain and all
1 Cordless hedge trimmer
A well-kept hedge gives a garden an elegant look, and formal box or privet hedges will need trimming two or three times a year during the growing season. Battery-operated trimmers do away with the need for cords that can get in the way and slow you down, but a disadvantage in the past has been short usage time. New models on the market are offering extended battery life so you can get the job done in one go. Husqvarna's 536LiHD60X is a powerful, lightweight pro-lever hedge trimmer that gives you the convenience of a 36V battery with the oomph of a petrol hedge trimmer.
2 Robotic mower
The ultimate time-saving garden tech has to be the robotic mower, which will not only cut the lawn for you, but dispose of clippings – so no raking or emptying grass bags. It does this by cutting little and often, producing grass "shavings" that are simply left on lawn to act as a mulch; so it saves time on feeding the lawn too. Many models in the Husqvarna Automower® range can be connected to an app on your mobile phone so you can control them while you're out and about. And from September 1, Husqvarna robotic mowers will be compatible with Amazon's cloud-based voice service Alexa; users will be able to start, stop, park and get status updates from their mower by just asking Alexa. The upgrade will be available to the many thousands of connected Husqvarna robotic mowers already in gardens and parks around Britain.
3 Watering system
For those who want to hand over total lawn-care duties to the robots, the Gardena Smart System is a fully automated package which comprises irrigation control, a robotic mower and a bunch of sensors that will keep track of rainfall, sunlight, temperature and grass growth. Having gathered the necessary data, it will determine how often your lawn needs to be watered and mowed, and get the jobs done. Using WiFi, the system's components all "talk" to each other via an app. If you think the system's getting a bit too smart for its own good you can intervene, and control settings and schedules.
4 Steam weed killer
Weeding can be one of the most dispiriting tasks, so if you're averse to weed killers and flame guns make you jittery, try steam power. The Batavia SteamBoxxer electric steam cleaner and weed killer is a handy multi-function tool that builds up a head of steam to break down the cellular structure of weeds, killing them down to the roots. It comes with three different attachments designed to zap weeds growing in various places, plus it can be used for steam-cleaning tasks indoors, making it a versatile timesaver.
5 Power barrow
If you have a largish plot or a sore back, a motorised wheelbarrow may not be a cheap option, but it will save you a heap of time and effort traipsing around the garden transporting heavy compost, logs, garden plants and debris. The three-wheeled Greenworks Self-Propelled Garden Cart is powered by a 40V 2Ah battery that runs for 20 minutes on one full charge (45 minutes if you buy a 4Ah battery), and can handle loads up to 100kg. It's easy to use, with two forward speeds and reverse, has a simple lever function for easy unloading and will even haul loads of up to 90kg up a hill.
A perfectly cut lawn, effortlessly
Keeping your lawn healthy can be a lot of hard work. Husqvarna Automower isn't just a lawn mower, it's a robot that does the work for you – unsupervised, round the clock.
Automower trims your lawn day and night, handling gardens of any size. Best of all, it's manufactured in Britain. Prices start from £1,000. Locate your nearest Husqvarna dealer by visiting husqvarna.com.

Gardening jobs for the weekend: Plant spring window boxes and prune holly
Delicate spring flowers are especially delightful in containers, especially window boxes. Finishing pruning is a priority before the bird-nesting season; a wildlife-friendly "dead hedge" makes good use of prunings. Protect soil and smother weeds with mulches. Indoors, buy seed compost ahead of the sowing season.
Spring window boxes
Dainty understated delicate flowers such as primroses, primulas, viola and winter-flowering heathers make inexpensive spring window boxes (far right) reminiscent of spring posies. Hardy cyclamen, grape hyacinths and dwarf narcissi are delicate bulbs that combine well with small flowers. All can be recovered and planted in the garden when it is time to plant up window
boxes with summer flowers. These plants don't mind shade, are small enough to avoid windy weather, and shrug off frost.
Pruning holly
Holly (left) grows slowly, but can creep up on you and suddenly cast excess shade and block views. Holly may sulk if it is pruned at other times of year, but trimmed now it recovers quickly, even if large branches or trunks are removed. In fact, it can be cut back to near ground level and soon recover to make a more shapely hedge or tree. Holly flowers on old wood, so pruning female trees will lead to a few berry-less years.

Dead hedges
These are temporary barriers that suit wilder parts of the garden, perhaps while a living hedge grows. Twiggy branches left over from pruning are laid as a compact long stack, held in place by stakes driven into the ground at about 50cm intervals. Branches are pressed down between these stakes until the barrier is high enough. The hedge rots in three or four years. This natural process supports wildlife, feeding birds and hedgehogs, for example.
Seeds need moisture and air to germinate. Small seeds, in particular, must not be sown so deep that they cannot reach the light. Also, germinating seeds are prone to rots and moulds, so a disease-free sowing medium is essential. Fertiliser may harm seeds. Specialised seed-sowing composts are fine enough for even sowing depths, contain little fertiliser, but are "open" to allow water to drain and air to enter.
Winter rains are over, spring droughts are common and weeds are ready to grow. Spreading mulch, 5-8cm thick, of organic matter reduces evaporation from the soil surface and suppresses weeds. Rotted manure or compost is rich and suits fruit trees and roses; bark and wood chips are infertile and long-lasting, ideal for other shrubs and trees. Finer bark or composted stable manure suit herbaceous plants. Where the soil is excessively alkaline, acidic mulches derived from bracken are suitable.

Garden and Landscaping DIY How To Projects
Why do people like gardening?
There are lots of reasons and it will depend on who you are why you want to garden. Here is a selection of the main reasons that people reach for a trowel to start gardening:
Grow your own food; In a relatively recent survey by the University of Illinois discovered that the number one reason that people wanted to garden was so that they could grow safe and healthy food. You have complete control over what goes on your plants and you know the provenance of the fruit and veg that you produce.
Building beauty; When you are gardening you are creating a beautiful environment and working with spectacular plants. Even if it a simple planter in a patio or a window box in a flat window you are adding colour, a touch of nature and making a focal point that the eye is drawn to. There are few things as satisfying as creating and then watching a garden grow and change through the seasons
Gardening is good exercise; Gardening in a free "sport", and provides excellent cardio and aerobic exercise. It requires lots of bending and stretching keeping people supple and calories are burnt – around 300 an hour for women and about 400 for men.
A leaning experience – Not only will gardening exercise your body it is a great challenge for the mind also. The topic is so broad that there will be something to suit most people; for the more academic there are the Latin names and the biology of the plants and for the more artistic there is the challenging of matching colours and creating garden styles or themes. Gardening is also a wonderful place for children to start to learn about plants, agriculture and nature.
Gardening is emotional; People also garden so that they can express their creativity, they can satisfy an emotional need for tranquillity and a distraction from every day life. It is also an opportunity to create an enduring legacy that will last and grow on, possibly for many generations.
A Short history of the British Garden:
For many thousands of years man has attempted to tame nature and use the land to cultivate plants for his own use. Forest Gardening is the earliest form of this style dating back to prehistoric times. This approach was more for agricultural reasons, and soon by about 10,000 years ago out door spaces were being enclosed, although the purpose is not full understood. The history of the garden really begins with the Romans when they conquered Britain.
Roman gardens: Despite this long history we will take up the story of the British garden in roman times as this is thought to be one of the earliest times that gardens were planted here in Britian. There is a wonderful example of a roman garden at Fishbourne Roman Palace in Sussex. Romans gardens were formal and often planted with low box hedges. There would have been urns, statues and garden seating. They would also have had more open landscaped gardens and most villas will have had a kitchen garden which would have grown fruit and vegetables for the household.
When the Romans left, the warring Saxons were considered not keen gardeners and little is know about them.
Monastic Gardens: It was the monasteries in the middle ages that made the garden important to life in Britain once again. Gardens would be found all around monasteries and they would provide a tranquil environment for the monks as well as food for the monastery. They were typically small and enclosed with a well or fountain as the centre piece. Walk ways would be covered and seating would most likely be turfed and there would be mounds for resting on.
Later in the medieval period garden became common around castles and fortified manor houses. These were simpler and often just grass areas surrounded by hedges where games like tennis were played.
After the reformation, powerful land owners enclosed common land to create parks where they kept cattle and deer. More formal garden could be found near the house protected by walls and hedges.
Tudor gardens great contribution is the knot garden. These are intricate patterns of lawns and typically box hedges. In between the hedges were flowers, herbs and shrubs. The idea that this sort of garden would be views from above, such from windows of the house.
Stuart Gardens: The Stuarts took the French style of garden and made the formal Italian Tudor gardens less formal. Chatsworth house in Derbyshire is an excellent example of this style, which is characterised by broad avenues sweeping away from the main house. These are often flanked by square parterres with formal low hedges.
By the 18th century William Kent had created a highly influential garden for Lord Burlington at Chiswick house. This style created vistas and follies in open parkland settings with statuesque trees and classical ornaments.
English Landscape Garden: Kent's pupil and son-in-law, Lancelot 'Capability' Brown had a huge impact on the English garden and even architectural style. As the leading proponent of the English Landscape Garden he led the movement started by his farther-in-law for more rounded and natural features; out went the straight lines, rectangles and hedgerows and fences; in came a style for open parkland coming right up to the house. Great examples include Longleat and Blenheim Palace.
Victorian Gardens: The Victorians brought us the public garden and there are a large number of parks and green spaces created for public use during this period aimed at brining culture to everyone.
The style shifted back to one of masses flowers in beds which were brought on in greenhouses. Intricate designs and bright colours were fashionable. There were variations between the formal and the wild gardens, which could be imaginatively integrated in a single garden.
Modern Garden: This can be thought of as an extension of the traditional cottage garden. Flowers, shrubs and climbers are crammed into a boarder to make a profusion of colour and texture. The undisputed champion of this period is Gertrude Jekyll, and possibly the most influential gardener of her period. Her inspiration was to consider that the home and the garden were a whole to be designed as one, rather than the garden and interesting after thought.
Gardening can be a very rewarding pass time and there is a long history and heritage in this country to draw garden ideas and inspiration. The reasons why we garden are almost as varied as the history of gardening, but we hope you find everything you need to know to help you on your way in this our gardening and landscaping section.

Queen discovers renewed love of gardening at 91
The Queen has discovered a renewed interest in gardening, it has emerged, proving that even at the age of 91, it is never too late to take up a new hobby.
The monarch, who toured the Chelsea Flower Show on Monday alongside the Duke of Edinburgh, is said to have been inspired by a garden restoration project at Windsor and has developed an impressive knowledge about plants.
She has taken such an interest in the regeneration of the gardens at Frogmore House that for her 90th birthday last year, her friends are said to have given her plants for the new beds.

Robert Hillier, chairman of Hillier Nurseries, one of the country's leading horticultural suppliers, has met the Queen on several occasions but revealed that he was taken aback by her sudden interest and in depth knowledge of the subject.
He said: "She has never shown her knowledge before. We have met many times but suddenly she is so interested in plants and planting.
"She is really thrilled with the way Frogmore is developing. She has now got more ambitious and wants to do a lot more.
"She obviously enjoys going to Chelsea, but in the past she has not been so animated. She has got really into gardening. It's never too late!"

ady Elizabeth Anson, who has been overseeing the project, said: "Her knowledge of plants of phenomenal – and she knows the Latin names."
Frogmore, a Georgian house set in 35 acres inside the Home Park of Windsor Castle, is bursting with tulip trees, redwoods and wisteria. The grounds were designed as an escape for Queen Charlotte, the green-fingered wife of George III, and are rarely open to the public.
Such is the Queen's love of its lawns, that it has been claimed the five-strong gardening team are not allowed to remove a single tree or shrub without her permission.
As the monarch toured the flower show, it emerged that her knowledge even extended to earwigs, recalling how gardeners used to trap earwigs with upturned flower pots on top of tomato canes.

"'I do remember that," she said. "And the children had to go out and empty them."
uring her tour of the gardens, it also emerged that the Queen, previously an ardent listener of Sir Terry Wogan's BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, now tunes in to his successor, Chris Evans.
She met the DJ as she toured his Taste Garden and told him he was on her radio on Monday morning.
He said: "She said 'I was listening to you this morning', because it was the Chelsea flower show."
"She loved the garden, she was here for a while."

The Cambridges are understood to enjoy an extensive kitchen garden at Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, where they grow all sorts of vegetables.
But the Duchess, 35, revealed she has had to teach Prince George, 3, not to eat the fox gloves as they are poisonous.
Describing her own growing efforts, she said: "It makes such a difference when you take it from the ground."

Our studio used Nuendo Logic and I'm trying to get some files into nuendo that would be contiguous files starting at zero and ending at the end of the song.
In Nuendo or Pro tools we can consolidate the regions and avoid doing any exports. I'm looking for the quickest easiest way to do this. I want to avoid the fader and plugins and just export the files if possible. That way I can just have the raw recorded files and pop them into nuendo at zero.
Select the files in the Audio Bin and choose "Copy/Convert File(s)" from the Edit menu there. This lets you save the files with new names. One by one or more at once. For individual names, one by one is the way to go.
If you have regions on a track, merge them first (digital mixdown). This will produce a new file.
If you want to get files with a specific length, put a piece of silent audio at the start and at the end and merge all regions of the track.
We do this all the time for Pro Tools. Export Tracks as AUdio Files - you can do teh whole song at once. Bypass plugins you do not want exported, FAder and Pan are ignore.
Just read Peter's reply - "Export all tracks as audio files" is WAY quicker. FWIW.
Yes the "export all tracks as audio" works best for this. If I have to go from one DAW to the other, that's how I do it. Don't forget to bypass any plug-ins that are in inserts IF you don't want your tracks to be exported with EQ, compression, whatever is active in your insert for a track.
So in regard to George's explanation, am I correct in assuming that export will actually be going through the faders? That's a bit of a bear time wise for a song that's mixed. Plus at least in most DAW's going through the fader means your not getting the files exactly the way it was record.
So if I do it that way I need to bybass all plug's, EQ, automation, and return the fader to zero?
Is there any other way? Maybe there is way similar to how I do this in Nuendo and PT. In either app you can select a time range on all you tracks. You press a button it essentially makes one long file on each of the tracks. Where there are regions they stay, where there is no regions it writes silence. At that point time in both apps you can select all the files that are on tracks in the pool or regions bin and export them to a different folder. No faders, plugs or exporting involved just copying files from one location to another.
I'm hoping there is a way to do something like this in logic. If not we'll make it work.
Thanks for the help so far fella's, this is seems to be a great forum.
Geese I'm just realizing that Peter's explanation is probably exactly what I'm talking about in my last post and George's explanation is more of export through faders.
No. My explanations are generally complicated (to sound more important) but they work in almost all cases. Gareth's and George's suggestions are generally better but assume that you know what you are doing.
