Tom Monroe (b. January 3, 1947) is a champion of virtually all flying disc sports, including ultimate, freestyle, field events and especially disc golf.
In 1973, Tom Monroe was in Atlanta for the summer working in order to earn money to re-enroll in college at the University of North Alabama in Florence. That year Wham-O held nationwide frisbee events called "The Great Frisbee Fly In" in conjunction with radio stations all across America. Tom had played frisbee with his roommate in college and could throw pretty well for playing catch and doing a few tricks, so the time had come to test his skills. Hundreds of people showed up for the competition at Grant Park, with events for distance and accuracy. Tom won both events.
After returning to the University of North Alabama in 1974, Tom wrote a letter to Wham-O. As a senior soon to graduate, he figured they should give him a job. Wham-O referred Tom to the International Frisbee Association. After a few letters back and forth, fate had Tom flying to California for his sister's wedding. Tom's father was in the aerospace industry and had lived in Birmingham then Huntsville before moving to California and lived within 10 minutes of Wham-O's California headquarters. Ed Headrick sent a car to pick him up. During their meeting, Ed told Tom about the World Frisbee Championship they had just run in August. Tom told Ed had he known about it he would have been there. Ed laughed out loud and told Tom "you have to be invited" to which Tom replied "I will be there next year".
Monroe may refer to:
"Turning Japanese" is a song released by English band The Vapors, from their album New Clear Days, and the song for which they are best known. The lyric consists mainly of the singer talking about pictures of his love. Musically, it features an Oriental riff played on guitar.
Songwriter David Fenton explains: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to."
The band knew they had a success with "Turning Japanese", so much so that they waited until their second single before releasing it, fearing that if they released it as their first they would become "one-hit wonders". They never matched its success.
The song enjoyed some sales in Japan after its great success in Australia, where it spent two weeks at No. 1 during June 1980.
"Turning Japanese" was believed to euphemistically refer to masturbation — i.e. the act causing the man to squint and therefore resemble a Japanese person's eyes or possibly, referencing the British slang word "Jap's eye" (the urinary meatus) and the act of turning referring to the process of masturbation — but the song's author Fenton denied that claim in an interview on VH1. "It could have been (turning) Portuguese, Lebanese, anything that fitted with that phrase. It has nothing to do with the Japanese...The first time the idea of masturbation came up was when we were touring America. It was written about that 'turning Japanese' was an English phrase for masturbation, which it wasn't."

Plot: The cockpit of a Boeing 747 is struck by lightning during takeoff for a flight to Europe, fatally injuring the flight crew. Laurie, the senior flight attendant, enlists the aid of passenger Brett Young. They determine that the autopilot can bring the plane in for a landing, but soon learn that the autopilot is locking onto the transponders of airfields at random, including signals from small airports with runways too short to accommodate the jumbo jet. Meanwhile, federal officials on the ground who have lost radio contact with the jet debate whether the plane should be shot down to prevent a more disastrous crash in a heavily populated area.

You are about to get a rare glimpse into one of the famous programs presented at The Monroe Institute, this one conducted by physicist and consciousness researcher Tom Campbell, author of My Big TOE. Tom is the physicist T.C. in Robert Monroe’s book Far Journeys. Tom shares his unique abilities with the participants firstly with a short synopsis of his work and scientific approach to consciousness, followed by advice on preparing for consciousness exploration. The focus of this first part of his presentation is intellectual level versus being level in terms of successful exploration. Participants reported significant breakthroughs, advances, and life-changing experiences in this six day workshop. http://mybig TOE.com Tom's website http://monroeinstitute.org TMI http://mbtevents.com T...

Robert Monroe (1915-1995) je bio uspješni poslovni čovjek koji se bavio produkcijom programa za radio stanice. Bio je i glazbenik, pisac, pilot, a u svjetskoj javnosti je poznat kao istraživač stanja izmijenjene svijesti. 1956.god. njegova tvrtka je istraživala je utjecaj zvučnih uzoraka na ljudsku svijest, uključujući studiju izvedivosti učenja za vrijeme spavanja. Kombinirali su određene frekvencije zvuka i istraživali kako utječu na čovjeka. Otkrili su mnoge utjecaje, na primjer, neki uzorci u izoštravali pažnju, drugi su uspavljivali, a neki su provocirali izmijenjena stanja svijesti. Uvijek se i sam javljao kao pokusni kunić, te na sebi testirao ove zvučne uzorke. 1958.god. doživio je svoje prvo izvantjelesno iskustvo, kojemu se isprva jako opirao iz straha od smrti ili bolesti, a ka...
REINCARNATION CHANNEL / REINKARNATIONS-KANAL ENGLISH: Legendary researcher Robert A. Monroe is the founder of the Monroe Institute (TMI). Here he gives a (quite humorous) introductory speech to participants of one of the programs at the TMI. The programs allow people to learn to get into altered states of consciousness by using binaural audios. In these states you can access the larger reality by experiencing what is commonly called out-of-body experiences or astral projection. Bob Monroe explains here most of what he experienced and learned about the reincarnational process and why we are here in this reincarnational and karmic cycle in the first place. We are in the process of learning reality creation in this kind of compressed school environment called Earth. Compare what we d...
