- 24 May 2012: Laura Miller considers a furiously literary memoir from the 'lesbian Woody Allen'It was only a few hours ago that the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation announced their plans to expand the Foxwood Resort Casino. The Connecticut-based reservation has been running the Foxwood in Ledyard for over 30 years. It was in 1986 that the establishment first opened, operating as a bingo gaming house. Six years later it would expand into the casino business, and five years after that, a hotel.
Now, in 2022, the owners have seen fit to expand once again. And they certainly aren’t holding back. Reports say that the new casino will be worth around $85 million. If all goes according to plan, the building should be open during the summer of 2023.
The casino will include a 50,000 square foot room for gaming. In it, visitors will be treated to slot and video poker machines, as well as a plethora of gaming tables, boasting a wide variety of games. If the rest of the establishment’s casinos are anything to go by, visitors should expect blackjack tables, craps tables, roulette wheels, and, of course, poker.
When asked to share some thoughts on the expansion, a Foxwood Resort spokesperson claimed that they were very excited by this development. He further went on to state that this was the most significant expansion in the world of gaming since 2008.
Some might ask “why now?” The Foxwood Resort and Casino has started up this project as a sort of celebration. It is, after all, the 30th anniversary of their original casino’s opening. The President and chief executive officer of Foxwood, Jason Guyot claimed that his team bolsters a commitment to improving the Foxwood experience, and it is this commitment that will shine through when all is said and done.
But, the new establishment is not only coming with a new gaming space. It will, reportedly, also house a fine restaurant, a bar boasting 40 seats and some extra slot machines, and a luxurious gambling space. Certainly, from all that we know, it will live up to the standards that the Foxwood resort has set for itself as a leader in the hospitality and gaming industry.
For those who want to visit, the casino will be located in the Grand Ballroom in the Grand Pequot. However, you will need to wait a year, as construction will start in November, and is expected to be finished in the summer of 2023.I've got a Samsung E105 with T-Mobile, and I use its infrared connector to send my tones right to my phone, charge-free (I love this board!) but it's very possible that your phone has a data cable available. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the Sony model you have, so I can't be of more assistance.. you might try posting this in the Sony forum?
hifi ringers cont..
i now have a e-715, i just have not changed that on my profile yet~. i do send ringtones inferred, i been doing that for awhile now, but i cant send real ringtones threw it, like that tones that actually sing, i tried to change it to mmf, but it still said cant send, so what i wanted to know was how to rename it or format it diffrently or something, or can you send it threw your e-mail to your phone.
oh oh oh.. i gotcha man. if you have the ringers in WAV format, i have a neat little program that can convert the wav's into MMF format legitly, so that it would fit onto your phone... it'll only convert short wav files though, only about 10-15 seconds, or else the file will be too big to put on the phone. if they are mp3 tones, then you can use any media converter (i use dbPowerAmp) to convert the mp3 to wav, and then use the wav to mmf. if you're interested in a program like that, i'll find the link to it for you.

romeo, I change the extension to.mid and then email them to my fone(I have an e-715 also)...did u pay for the tones u got from 3gforfree?
no i did not pay for them off of 3gforfree.com my buddy has a account threw them, so i just went on their and saved them to my computer just incase i ever did figure out how to use them, i use easy gprs and i have the inferred cable, and i tried to rename it eferything to send it threw gprs and it just does not work, how do you e-mail it? how big does the file have to be?
I don't think the e-715 takes files larger then 50 kb so what I usually do is I change mp3s on my computer to decompressed wave files using winamp and then I chop a piece of the song so that the file size will fit, then change it to an mmf file and email it to my Hidden Content....u got any songs from that site u could share?
anyone use the sharp tm150 and know how to convert the wav to a proper mmf file to send?
hifi ringers cont....
yea i got like 20 or so, what songs you need tho? i am a little confused on how to do all that, such as choping them up and what not. so dl winamp, then how do i use winamp? probally going to be difficult to explian uh?

hifi ringers for e315?It doesn’t take too long for the plumes to disperse unevenly in the warm German air at the Norisring.
This simple street circuit, surrounding a sinister house amidst a dark history, forms a tense competitive layout.
It’s fast. With only five real corners and a couple of straights, there appears to be not too much to this track.
At approximately 49-50 seconds per lap, the gap in the field is small indeed. The margin for error is barely present – the slightest of mistakes will lead to a significant loss of ground – or worse.
Beyond that, difficulties can eat away at confidence. Through the chicane leading onto the back straight, the differences in confidence can be very telling. On entry, those with daring pitch their Dallara’s hard to the right, merely shadowing the barrier as they do so, before releasing onto a short chute to the left-handed exit.
The decisive ones run close to the Armco, holding speed and gaining time, but running risk of clouting the outer wall. Those who are tentative or nervous in their approach are, at best, a nuisance and at worse crash fodder – an accident waiting to happen.
Zandvoort Masters winner Felix Rosenqvist headed the firs practice session and of Raffaele Marciello, Alex Lynn and Dennis van de Laar.
The slippery nature of the circuit almost caught several drivers unaware, as the exits of each turn proved a wayward adventure. Only Jann Mardenborough suffered a spin of any consequence at the exit of the chicane; however the Briton piton for a brief check up before returning to the track.
Over at the first turn, drivers appear to spend an inordinate amount of time either outbraking themselves and allowing their tyres and brakes to screech, while others meekly approach the tight hairpin, braking early and turning in limply.
In a sense, one can see racing minds developing and shaping respective weekends. Some spend their practice taking a tight line into the bend, while hugging the high kerb and closing off any chance of a rearguard attack; however this merely serves to punish ones exit.
Alternatively, a driver might take a wider, carrying more speed through the turn, although the risk of a being taken is greater, especially for those who see themselves as opportunists.
Daniil Kvyat made the most of the second session, topping the sheets just 0.001s clear of Carlin teammate harry Tincknell. Raffaele Marciello – who missed the opening 20 minutes due to complex setup changes – ended the practice in 3rd spot ahead of Tom Blomqvist, Sven Muller and Jordan King. Guest driver Alexander Sims made it to 7th spot for T-Sport in the first of two outings for the team.
The likes of Sven Muller and Lucas Wolf appears to specialise to outbraking the hairpin, as grip refuses to generate in the Hankook ty
