Final commmit, problem solved

PROBLEM: for demo-purposes we include a few external images to show in our "context switch view". The URLs for these inclusions are read from an Angular file. However, on initial load of base.html, this file (dashboard-directive) appears to be not yet loaded/processed/$compiled/angularified, so the values set in the dashboard-directive are at that point in time unknown to Angular.

SOLUTION: Since this img inclusion is for demo-purposes only, we hardcode the img src values (URLs), as opposed to having Angular read them from the $scope.
