Bitter Lake is a live-action English-language motion picture, featuring characters in realistic looking fursuits, with a running time of 41 minutes.

Produced by the crew and sponsored by Eurofurence, the film was shot on location in France and the Netherlands in 35mm HD, and premiered in Germany at Eurofurence 17 on August 2011. The DVD, including subtitles in French, German and English was made available after the premiere. 350 copies were sold out within 25 minutes. This DVD also includes a 25 minute ‘Behind the scene’ feature. The European PAL DVD is distributed by Black-Paw Productions. The NTSC version for the USA is distributed by FurPlanet.

Clockwork Creature Studios’ fursuits were chosen for their level of realism and because several members of the cast and crew already owned fursuits from this maker, which were then costumed for use in the film

Synopsis

After more than a decade of peace the proud and noble kingdom of Valanor is suddenly torn apart by a terrible civil war. After 12 years, when the dust settles and resources start to dwindle, the starving people of Valanor cry out for peace, forcing the leaders of Tier, Sinnah, Daneth and Osgard to lay down their arms and meet each other at the negotiation table.

As each province prepares an envoy to find a diplomatic solution at the Kingdom’s only neutral ground, an ancient and dark organization plots its return. Unbeknownst to the leaders of the four warring provinces this old enemy will stop at nothing to crush any hope of lasting peace.

Can the four envoys put their old hatreds aside and forge a bond of trust? Or will those that crave the blood and terror of war get their way?

Whatever the outcome, the fate of Valanor will be decided… at Bitter Lake

The following is a true story of what happened in my apartment building the other day, when a neighbor was to be a new customer for Comcast. Oh the tech did come to hook up their service but there seemed to be a problem…The cable was out. Which has always seemed to be a problem for Comcast, especially in my neighborhood. It was the main reason I dumped their service. Since no one knew when the service would come back. That neighbor cancelled service with Comcast then and there, calling RCN, and early the next day their service was connected.

Update…

As I knew I would be getting, I got a message from Comcast this morning, and given my experiences with them, I figure I better reply to that message this way in a open reply. Rather than contacting them directly…you’ll see why in a second. You see I have told Comcast about this repeated outage problem we have in my neighborhood at least 100 times in the past. I told them at least 4 times directly when I cancelled my service. The last time was when I got that false promise of a rebate for days without service…btw I will not get in to what I figure they owe me. I got service alright lip service. Frankly I would not trust Comcast for one second. Everyone knows this, but it seems Comcast is in total denial mode. Is it no wonder I don’t trust them.

The reason I call the comic below rare is because, if say you head on down to horse and rabbit.com like I recently did. You will notice Tracy does not have any of their comics posted on the site any more for whatever the reason. Also what Wikifur actually lists as a furry site seems to be more a blog these days…and not one that has anything to do with furry.
