OK.

If you click on the 108, it should bring up a login console for the Hanso Fndn. It asks you if you are one of the good ones, type Y and nothing else. It then brings up a directory for key members of the Hanso Fndn, including Alvar Hanso and this guy HMcIntyre. You click into their folders to reveal more stuff.

Eventually you find this image:

Notice the small type that says "The Mouth Piece" next to the Buddha. Clearly, this week is an ad for Jeep, but the clues are in the ads.
"The Mouth Piece" must be something to type into the Hanso Fndn web site, and it must have to do with McIntyre's Bio page. But when I first typed it in, I got no where.

If you go into the "INBOX" file for Pthompson you also get this code in binary:
01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001101 01101111 01110101 01110100 01101000 00100000 01010000 01101001 01100101 01100011 01100101
And a link to a binary translator:

This code also says "The Mouth Piece" So that has to be the clue/password this week.

I went back to the site, and tried "themouthpiece" without spaces and it unlocks some information about McIntyre.

Then, if you go back to McIntyre's mail and open the file
http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/hmcintyr/mail/news_ad.jpg
You'll see in FAINT, MIRRORED letters "You are one no one loves. Happy Mother's Day" backwards towards the bottom. Not sure if that's a clue or an "easter egg."

Lastly, there's a movie link to a video about Jeeps. If you poke around this web site, you'll see other videos including one showing Alvar Hanso "on site" at one of his experimentation islands. And another orientation video showing the meaning of each of the hatches and what there experiments focused on. The Lost characters are in the electromagnetic "Swan" hatch. Locke and Echo found the observation "Pearl" hatch. The Others have a hatch too, but I don't know which is theirs. I need to go back to TIVO and slow it down where Michael walks by the door to their hatch. If I can match the symbol up with the video, I'll know what the Others are being tested on.

I also checked out the book that is referenced in places on hanso web site called "Bad Twin" by Gary Troup. Gary Troup is an anagram for Purgatory. I can't firgure out wehat Bad Twin references, but if you look the book up on Amazon it is clearly fictional and may contain more clues to the story.
