Billy, You need to take a look at resolve, and there are some other techniques available too to make this work. While there is nothing wrong with using $timeout to defer code outside the digest circle, the way you are using it is plain wrong. Let me explain a bit, a async operation like $http does not make any guarantee when it comes back. If you are working locally on your own machine, it gives fair odds the data will be in in the next digest cycle. However, if it takes only a few milliseconds more to fetch, the $timeout will miss it. If you put this in production, it will have a much higher miss rate, as data needs to travel over the network!
I have this sample <http://goo.gl/JOk7CK>in where there are multiple ways to work around this. Have a look at it, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
