ANNOUNCEMENT: The Research Blog is complete and fully functional. In case you haven't heard us mention it, this is intended to be a place where deeper meanings and implications of these "clues" are summarized and explained. Our Researchers will be working hard to provide understandable abstracts of the most popular and relevant topics.
Lastly, it seems that Rachel Blake may have listened to last week's podcast and enjoyed our "interview" with Persephone. Who knows, maybe she shares P's affinity for Kirk Cameron. Whatever the case may be, THIS ALTERNATE VIDEO popped up on YouTube and we had to share it with you...just for inspiration & laughs.

cool clues and videos this week so far, and it is only tuesday!
I will listen tomorrow as I am off to bed but some nice clue discussion going on in previous comments if you are interested. I guess it will move here anyway. I missed first again. Oh well. Night. Look forward to the podcast.
Oh yeah. And that is me in the middle with the big cheesy. LOL
seventh!
is it THE dslerator - and how can we know for sure anyway?
well I just got hold of him and gave him the password, and asked him a question ,but got nothing so far
iobiseeing you doesn't appear as on on my screen name
well no response form DSLerator. My boyfriend is home, so going to sign off and say goodnight will check back in the morning
I was chatting with iobi, but yeah... said they're getting bombarded by IM's now, lol. downloading podcast
goingdark! Like HitchHikers? 42 is the answer, but what is the question?

goingdark I was talking about the book series The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Gallazy, sorry for the confussion. You commented if we had the answer, I was saying it's like the situation in those books
Galaxy sorry!
Kirk Cameron is a jerk now : )
I have a link to his page on my blog...
Great update though.
B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was his name-O. Sorry couldn't resist.
Great podcast :D Last weeks was very entertaining, but it was nice to get back on track with the game. Though Rachel does seem in the dark as much as us she is getting some interesting stuff out that certainly hints at a greater link with the show forth coming.
chelala the chat with Mittlework on the TLEClues podcast
beachgrrl: I think you're definitely onto something with the EG idea. On the sequence of numbers located on the papers, "DI9FFTR731", perhaps the "DI" stands for Dharma Initiative.
crissy cat: The tshirt says: Puerto Vallarta. Most of us think it means nothing to the game. But...you never know!
I usually listen to these in bed before i go to sleep. I can't sit still while I'm listening to 'em on the Computer (I always get distracted), but from what I've heard, it's awesome. I look forward to listening.
Woah. This sure is neat. Am I the only one who has found this page yet, or is this old news??
The Valenzetti Foundation webpage
Even right down on the bottom of the main page they say they're not affiliated with ABC, linking to the Lost homepage.
The site covers lots of things like Life Extention and some sort of device. Check it out. I'm scouring over it for clues, so if this is old news, pleeease let me know, so I'm not wasting my time here.
yakobus1,
this isn't looking good.
pharma: (Your name has been abbreiviated now.) That totally is ingame. Look in his pictures. Wally Bole, anybody?
katamarmom: What could possibly make it not so? It's far too coincidental in my eyes. All the talk about a mysterious device (EMP genereator, maybe?) and the Life Extension Project... Fan-made, maybe?
I hate to bring it up, but AIM logs could be faked no? You can edit the log file to change names, or make the names say whatever you want. The only thing that seems to prove them true is hindsight
I still don't see how the Valenzetti Foundation page is fake, when it's so tied to similar events, but I'll take your words for it and divert my attention to the Madrake Wig MySpace page for now.
Also, I have a 1 liter of Sprite to help me pick up on any resonating sublymonal messages out there. Sprite boosts brain power! Use the power of mental thinking!
Aside from having Friends that are 100% surely fansites (Dr. Marvin Candle's page, in fact, claims that he was only in one of the Orientation videos) from the Lost show, I don't know what is significant about this guy. He is the "Doctor" of the RoT group, but wasn't that a fake cover-up group?
Has anyone tried translating his hometown? "Aufwecken des Traums"? In the Retrievers of Truth site, a French Town was translated to be something like "This is all fake" or something.
And check out his Interests. If ever there were a greater list of Lost-like Books, TV shows, or Movies, it'll probably be close to our good friend's interests.
But all of this could have easily been fan-crafted. Kind of the the skeptics when we first discovered Retrievers of Truth.
So what do we have here that we can consider "official"? I'm not saying that we can completely discredit it (look at the people who discredited RoT), but I'm trying to find a hidden part of this site here...
PS: I knew it was ineviteable for MySpace to come into play here.
MTP - Well, from what I've heard, the guy's story has been confirmed by alot of people...but then again it could just be one guy and a bunch of his friends deciding to post similar stories.
Do we have any hard facts about this? Something like, say, a commercial during an ABC episode?
So, Madrake Wig aside, what else has our attention right now?
Does anyone have a good picture of the blast door map, then? I'll go over it if possible.
Here's a better map, which you can toggle on and off the different layers.

Thanks, Matt the Pale!
My folder of Lost images is growing ever-larger.
Also, my liter of Sprite hasn't spoken to me yet. Stupid false advertising.

I think you're spot-on with that one, resin.
Could it be Dharma Initiative Hanso Group. The Hanso Foundation was known as Group back then.
But wouldn't that a bit reduntant?
That'd belike saying the CIA Intelligence Group. Central Intelligence Agency Intellence Group.
Why repeat something that is already in the abbreviation of DHARMA?
AH/MGD = Alvar Hanso-slash-Magnus De Groot??
Just in case there are those who don't want any hint of spoilers... ahead there be discussion of an episode that has not aired in the UK
resin, I have thought that the 'Dharmatel' reference on the blastdoor map may just be a nickname given to a possible telecommunications network on the Island. There maybe an actual off-shoot of DHARMA called that, dunno at this stage :D I've also always thought, like maven suggested (actually, thought I had posted it here recently, but things do have a habit of being overlooked), that DI/HG might be DHARMA Initiative/Hanso Group. I think it was Matt The Pale that posted the suggestion earlier that Hanso Group may be the corporate arm of the Hanso Foundation. And I just looked up lostpedia to see what they have about Alvar, and they suggest MDG = Magnetic Discharge Grid. Then again they've also got Alan Dale aka Charles Widmore on the Alvar page... guess there is some resemblence...
mochi, that is an idea my sister had the other night, but at this stage we don't know of a Magnus De Groot
I'm afraid I don't exactly catch what you're getting at, a.scott. I think that all was covered back when the RoT site first popped up and the clue was to hunt for the password to the secret RoT site ("porter").
In any case, it's nothing new to me. Sorry.
lavenda: True. But, for the sake of surnames, Magnus could just mean "the great". Or possibly yet nother psuedonym for Alvar Hanso. Maybe a relative, even.
Shaman, yeah that has been discussed. Walt's Mum's name (Susan Lloyd) factors in the ROT email too :D
mochi, you are right on the "the great" angle, but I'm inclined to think it is something else (expecially since De Groot also means "great" ;) ) now that we have a real Magnus Hanso and the blastdoor map reference isn't using Magnus as a title (well, Rachel's latest seem to indicate that anyway)
Finally back after the Miami Heat won the championship...sorry...I know its bad to share my time...in any case, looks like we have to wait a while (by our standards) for another clue.
jja: Potentially, yeah. Maybe the snowglobe effect works on time too. But I don't think the dates of the videos or really too important right now.
It's the 21st, by the way. We need to keep an eye out for the next DJDan podcast.
resin, now that is something I hadn't considered, a reason for forging the date of the orientation videos. My sister and I were discussing things the other night, theorising where the information for the blastdoor map came from.
MORE SPOILERS (UK and AUS)
I think it's pretty safe to say Inman and Radzinsky are the two authors of the map. A lot of the information could have come from scouting the island, but that note about The Pearl on the right hand side... how did they find out about a Pearl station without finding the station itself? Even though that right hand side of the island (looking at the map) doesn't seem to have been explored as extensively, we wondered whether they came across the notebooks from the Pearl. We came up with a lot of other thoughts, and more questions of course, which would be mostly answered with just a few more tidbits from the show. A bit more backstory would help a lot... maybe that is what this game will provide :) Anyway, if their information was coming from those notebooks (or a notebook) that might indicate why there isn't older information on the map. huge question about how much you rely on the information we are given...
Yes, the Middelwerk "phone call" is a joke. He's the Love Doctor now, though.
To be fair, dogs are gamey and cats are generally course and tough. The fatter and younger the animal, the more it will be similar to veal in taste. (The things you learn as a butcher...)
Anyhoo, enough about meat. I'm done for the night. I'll just sit around and wait for the next DJDan podcast to pop up in a couple of hours.
Heh. Slow night, eh?
Very nice, fragmonkey. Now who asked the question that you were just answering?
Hey guys, I've launched my latest fan-site. It's an out-of-game site that pretends to be "in-game". So if you ever want to have fun, come here and Role-Play and pretend you're a part of the Lost world :) Becuase in this alternate reality, the Hanso Foundation is a real evil coporation trying to take over the world.
Here -- http://exposinghanso.blogspot.com/
It's kind of like RoT forums, but you can post in it.
fragmonkey - they were talking about Heuristics. Yeah, I know. I got mixed up on that myself =/
punchy sue - just use a microphone and put it next to your speaker and record what comes out of it :) And then open it in Windows Sound Recorder (come standard in a computer) and choose Effects -> Play Backwards.
I typed out the text from the ship book scan that is linked from Rachel's blog (easier to compare text to text) and just started comparing it to the informtion from that freewebs site about ships... The site says the Black Rock disappeared in 1881, the book talks about events in 1882 from the point of view of some years after then. There is no mention of the Black Rock disappearing, though they do say Magnus captained vessels for some time after 1882. So if Magnus was around after the Black Rock disappeared, how did he come to have his final resting place on the Island???
whoa, whoa, whoa. now, i know i'm late (i only post while at work), but good lord. the GROWING PAINS thing was mentioned by Persephone. she actually said she had planned on hacking the Hanso Foundation and replacing their song with the Growing Pains song!!!! Couldn't THIS be a sign that RACHEL is part of the Hanso Foundation??? Think about it. Persephone could be leaving us a clue with this "REVAMPED" video!!!!
maybe hanso foundation is getting its funding from a shipping company alvar hanso's family owned thats why mettelwerk visits the building becuase he's taken over hanso.
also the book mentions sea trading company in portsmouth this is where The Black Rock was built if you look at screenshots of the ship.
maybe hanso's family stumbled upon the hidden island during thier sea capt'n years. one more thing this could connect hanso more with the philly experiment.
:D yay return of the topics in the podcast
Just got a charon email...
I'm having trouble believing that theory, shrodes, simply because of the gaps it leaves open. It's only using half of what's presenting to us. Who knows... We all certainly don't yet. ;)
I'm taking the lines more literally right now and crossreferencing (XREF) the ships (ships, planes, boats, the balloon, etc.) from before or during the 1900s and during or after the year 2000. With so many crashing or shipwrecked vessels, there might be some similarities in there.
Besides, I've been up all night, obsessing over sites that I only now found out are non-canon (according to the Lostpedia, at least), so I guess I should be focusing on something offical.
Good luck all. Still awaiting DJDan's podcast.
alex: EGADS! Do tell!
Is the research blog site down? I cannot see it, I get a blank page...Awesome podcast guys, maybe we will get noticed and get jobs at ABC, we meaning you of course!!
Peace & Namaste
Nevermind!!
pharma: Notice how Mandrake Wig completely deflected your question and merely mentioned your location. A lot of help he is...
Is it just the page source, matt the pale, or am I daft and doing something wrong?
Nice find Matt...Team Lena has some info on our blog about possible connections with Magnus and Alvar being the same person...
matt: I'm an inept dope. :)
Matt, our discussion blog...History of Lost section...
I know...it takes most of the morning to get back up to speed...
It's even worse with me. I'm nocturnal so I sleep while all the cool stuff is being released and the majority of the people are breaking down the clues. Catching up at night leaves me lots of time to research with the few other rare night-time hunters and gatherers.
zipper - how did you find this?
I had just waited another 45 minuts before coming in I could listen (no speakers at work)
o. so apparently alvar hanso is a monkey. that explains a lot.
O.k. I found it.
need a transcript since I don't have speakers at work and don't think I can wait till I get home tonight.
well I should get some work done......don't want to get fired.
yknow, maybe "flower of life" is the password Rachel Blake needs to get into that computer.
apparently, flower of life is a real organization. i dont think it has anything to do with the game though.
floweroflife.org

unless Drunvalo Melchizedek is an anagram for something, and I doubt it is, there's little backing that claim that those sites are in-game.
Surge - I sent you an email concerning the images of all the documents from the game...
scratch it mochi... I don't think the floweroflife.org is in game. It has registration information from 2000-2001. Unless it has been "assimilated". I removed my comment until we can verify the website.
The Flower of Life is a sacred power symbol which activates energy coding in the mind, helping one to access the light body. It is considered to be a wholly integrated expression of God, or All-That-Is.
Within the geometric Flower of Life symbol can be found all the Platonic Solids. The Platonic Solids are the building blocks of the universe. They form the basis of all organic life, as well as music, language, and consciousness itself.
Because it is a primary energy & language pattern that has a resonance with all things within us and around us, the interlocking circle Flower of Life design has the ability to unlock memories that are buried deep within our being.
The Flower of Life is a perfect metaphor illustrating the connectedness of all life and spirit within the universe. It is considered sanctified among many cultures, both ancient and modern, throughout the world.
I have also seen a pretty standard image for world domination used in one of the multiple images shown on the recent video with flashing images...perhaps they are trying to create their own version of the flower of life...

New dj dan is up and it leads you to Let your compass............go to owells folder.
Cool. I suspected we'd see more podcasts in the OWelles folders.
Okay, pressuming Alvar = Joop is a rather obvious red herring, the key info seems to be Flowers of Life Enterprises. That and a list of dead celebrities. http://www.floweroflifeenterprises.com/ is apparently "comming soon", http://www.floweroflife.org/ is a really old site, looks interesting but not what were looking for. Gonna try a few other website variations. Didn't get anything in google.
The IP Log pop up has been there for a while. I don't think it's anything other then adding flavour to the game.
I did notice the source on the main Hanso site now has a link to Rachels site where it used to have DJDans in it. I guess that may be akin to an official phase 2 signal, or possibly letting us know DjDan is now just a sideshow?
I did a quick google and found an interesting theory on a message board linking in various Lost things and referencing the "Flower of Life".
http://www.thetailsection.com/lost_news/
Search for "Flower" on the page you'll see the post.
Zipper - I like the policing...I hate commenting on ITE...this needs to be kept civil, if you do not have the time to read up, then don't play...it took me over 3 hours to read all the posts...and I scim them...
Peace & Namaste
o.k. (after catching up), I am reviewing the floweroflife.org site,and I know that flower of life was mentioned in the DJ podcase but don't see so far any mention of hanso on the FOL site
floweroflife.org does not appear to be in game
rachel blake updated
I have a question about the djdan podcast. Okay so if you go to www.broadbandstories.com or whatever thier he is with "Tanya" but if you go to his site her bio says "Tonya". Is that just a typo or is this game just really messing with my head. I see companies that look real but aren't then I see companies that are supposed to be fake but aren't the right kind of fake. I spinning out of control!
