For those who have never fished in the Bahamas, you're missing out big time!
Of course, if you know where to go here and how to fish the local waters, the action is world-class. However, truth be told, getting here is just as adventurous as the fishing when you're taking your own boat.
Think about the anticipation of setting forth on a journey ranging anywhere between 50 miles (distance from Miami to Bimini, the closest Bahamas island to the U.S.) and 240 miles (far southeastern Bahamas). Add in a mid-size, twin-outboard-powered center console, and the thrill increases 1,000-fold.
I've long stated that the Bahamas are my favorite place to fish, and why I've been coming here for more moons than I can remember. And while most of my trips are to Bimini (a quick sprint from my home in South Florida), I take my Mako 284 center console on at least one long-range run each year. This season's "extra distance" event was to the Abaco Beach Resort & Marina at Boat Harbour, in the Abaco chain. From the Palm Beach Inlet, that's an approximate 190-mile run.
Riding shotgun was friend and fellow angler Carl Grassi. Carl owns Carl's Sunoco on Sample Road in Coral Springs, Fla. When he's not managing his business, Carl can usually be found chasing everything from bottom-fish to broadbill swordfish in his home waters off Pompano Beach.
On this expedition, he and I planned on trolling offshore during July, a traditionally "slow" period for both pelagic fish migrations and tourists. The former didn't concern me, as there are usually always fish here, and I was thrilled with the latter, knowing we didn't have to contend with a bunch of other boats. Traditionally, spring is when the Abacos come to life, as blue marlin and droves of large dolphin migrate past the Islands.
Traveling light is not an option, as there are no major tackle centers in the Bahamas. We brought some 20-fishing outfits (for inshore, reef and offshore), terminal gear galore, dozens of meticulously-rigged offshore trolling lures and natural baits (I worked on these for a week!), hooks of all sizes, sinkers, and 36 seven-pound blocks of Captain Mark's Pure Sardine Chum.
All this, of course, was in addition to coolers packed with drinks, lunch meats and ice. I'm always amazed at how my boat even floats when it's loaded this heavily.
A calm sea and clear sky greeted Carl and me when we cleared Palm Beach Inlet that morning, so I throttled up my twin Mercury Verado 300hp outboards, fine-tuned the Mako's trim tabs and settled into a quick, but fuel-efficient 4,300 rpm cruising pace.
The crossing was so beautiful and uneventful, that it seemed like the six-hour run was over in no time. We ran the initial 55 miles from Palm Beach Inlet to Memory Rock, which marks the edge of the shallow Bahama Bank. From there we headed to Mangrove Cay, and then onto Little Sale Cay.
Our next set of programmed routes brought us into the Sea of Abaco and to points that included Centre of the World Rock, Crab Cay, Angel Fish Point, Powell Cay, Crab Cay, No Name Cay, Whale Cay, Matt Lowe Cay and, finally, the Abaco Beach Resort & Marina.
Every leg on the entire route was pre-programmed into my Lowrance HDS 10 unit, which made getting here a breeze.
Two other valuable navigation and safety aids included the Sirius Satellite Weather option on my Lowrance HDS units, and my Lowrance radar. The satellite weather shows any rain or storm cells and the direction they're moving.
For example, this lends the option of either pressing forward, knowing you'll encounter just a slight drizzle, or altering your route to avoid an intense storm. And if you find yourself smack in the middle of a rain shower, the radar will get you through it safely.
As mentioned earlier, Carl and I were here during the offseason. We missed the blue marlin and dolphin migration by three months. However, scattered fish still roam past the Abacos during this time. In fact, some of the largest blue marlin here have been caught toward the end of June, with some bruisers hooked around the full moon in July. That's what we were banking on.
Brimming with anticipation on our first day of fishing, Carl and I set out a trolling spread comprised of Williamson offshore trolling lures, some plain and some tipped with a fresh ballyhoo. We used fluorocarbon leaders from 150-pound test (smaller baits) to 400-pound test (larger baits and lures). We used VMC hooks exclusively, with O'Shaughnessy-style hooks in sizes ranging from 8/0 and 9/0 for the smaller baits (model 9255) on up to 12/0 and 13/0 Big Game Hooks (VMC model 8709) for the large baits (Spanish mackerel) and lures.
We also towed a 96-fish dredge teaser off each corner of the transom, as well as a squid spreader bar (port outrigger) and large hookless marlin teaser (starboard outrigger) at the surface, from T-top-based teaser reels.
The chance at hooking a large marlin had us fishing with Penn 70 International Reels and matching six-foot, Penn International V Stand-Up rods (model VS5010ARD60), and Penn 50 International Reels and matching five-foot, six-inch, Penn International V Stand-Up rods (model VS5010ARD56). The 70-Internationals were spooled with 100-pound test Sufix Performance Braid and a 150-foot long top shot of 80-pound test Sufix Superior monofilament. The 50-Internationals were packed with 80-pound test Sufix Performance Braid and a top shot of 150-feet of 50-pound test Sufix Superior monofilament.
An unseasonably cool water surface temperature turned out to be our nemesis; The offshore waters seemed devoid of life. We kept at it, however, using our radar to detect birds, and our fishfinder to look for bait and major bottom structure. Outside of prominent bottom structure, all else seemed nonexistent.
The water behind the MARC VI was as lit up as a Christmas tree, between the teasers and baits – but nothing was happening. We pulled a "skunk" for day one! Depressed? Yes, but we would be right back at it the following day, not knowing the fishing would be just as dead. The biggest slap in our faces turned out to be a large raft and mast we detected on our radar. The "find" had been in the water for quite some time. There was growth all over the bottom, and baitfish all around it. Carl and I just knew we'd score, only to end up shaking our heads in disbelief after three passes failed to produce a hit.
We changed tactics the next day. It was time for the reefs, and action! The reefs lining the Abacos hold fish virtually all year. After identifying a prominent reef on the fishfinder, Carl and I drifted between 70- and 180-feet of water. We used Williamson Abyss flutter-style jigs and Williamson six-ounce deep jigs tipped with a medium size fresh ballyhoo.
The jigs were rigged to five feet of 50-pound test fluorocarbon leader which, in turn, was joined to the 65-pound test Sufix Performance Braid fishing line with a small barrel swivel. Our jigging outfits were Penn Torque 200 and 300 reels paired with Penn Torque Jigging Rods. We scored strawberry grouper, a Nassau grouper and several big amberjack. We stayed with the bottom fishing, which provided a lot of action and fun.
An added bonus of visiting the Bahamas is that you can run and gun for fish across the Gulf Stream on the way back home. Right off the Bahama Bank, by Memory Rock, Carl and I noticed a couple birds some two miles away on our radar. We sped off in that direction. Sure enough, two Frigate birds were feeding at the surface. I quickly grabbed a Williamson Sailfish Catcher lure (Bleeding Dorado color) I had paired with a ballyhoo, attached the rig to one of my Penn Torque 300 outfits, and dropped it some 200 feet behind the boat. Carl swung by the Frigates, and I hooked a beautiful bull dolphin!
As I was fighting my dolphin, a 20-pound class cow (female) dolphin swam up behind the boat. Carl threw just about everything at it, but couldn't get it to eat. It eventually swam off. I, however, led my big dolphin to the gaff, and we ended up taking a beauty of a fish home for dinner!
Despite the slow offshore trolling at Boat Harbour, Carl and I had a terrific time. Credit that to the fast bottom fishing, great resort, and catching a big dolphin on our way back home.
And, of course, you can't beat the thrill and rush of running your own boat deep into the Bahamas. The sights along the way are magnificent, and the sense of accomplishment after completing such a trip is something that is really difficult to describe. It never gets old. In fact, it makes you want to do it all over again ASAP!
and you have the ingredients for a neat saltwater fishing destination, and family-friendly locale!

It goes without saying that sound is the most important trait to look for in an electric guitar. But stage presence is important too, and nailing the perfect aesthetic goes a long way in creating the perfect concert. For a southpaw guitarist, that makes this lineup of black left handed electric guitars a great starting point for narrowing down your instrument search. If you want a paint job darker than the night sky, you've come to the right place to find it. Some of history's best guitarists have been lefties, after all... shouldn't we have the same great choices as a right-handed player, without having to turn anything upside-down?
Speaking of great choice, it's time to give a little thought to which one might be the best for your personal tastes. If you like a classic guitar, for instance, you could go for an iconic Fender with instruments such as the Fender American Standard Stratocaster Left-Handed Electric Guitar or the Fender Standard Telecaster Left Handed Electric Guitar. More of a Gibson fan? Then maybe a Les Paul is the way to go - and you don't need to break the bank, either. Epiphone-branded models like the Les Paul Standard Left-Handed Electric Guitar make it easier than ever to get your hands (especially the left one) on this legendary axe.
Of course, it's up to you to decide which of these black left handed electric guitars you like most. Virtually every major luthier has something to offer here - from Schecter Guitar Research, Hagstrom and Gretsch to Danelectro, Rickenbacker and Ibanez. You've got your pick of exotic semi-hollow models, extended-range 7 and 8-string guitars, plus a variety of pickup layouts and tremolo bridge options. All in all, it's a lineup that has something for every left-handed guitarist to appreciate, so go ahead and browse to your heart's content; your new guitar could be waiting right here for you to find it.

How Lowe Can Dallas Movie Go?
Rob Lowe's allegedly been added to the Dallas cast. Can Ally Sheedy be far behind?
They just won't give up. It's been months since we've mentioned that left-for-dead Dallas movie, which was scheduled to be shot around these parts in November till a new director and new writers were brought in for yet another do-over. But there's, ahem, new news, courtesy Dallas-based movie site Cinema Blend, where Josh Tyler offers several, ahem, scoops -- namely, that Rob Lowe and Lost's Matthew Fox have been added to the cast as, respectively, Cliff Barnes and Bobby Ewing. They'll join the decidedly B-list of actors recently affixed to the project: James Brolin, Diane Ladd, Minka Kelly, Julie Benz, Kevin Conway, Katie Cassidy and Paul Logan. Oh, and John Travolta.
As for the story, reports Tyler's scooper: "The film will deal generally with the introduction of Pamela Barnes into the Ewing family. The script is based mainly on the episode 'Digger's Daughter' with also some elements of the 'Election' and 'Spy in the House' episode." OK, then. But it gets better: Original Dallas writers are working on yet another made-for-TV reunion movie, if they can get the old gang back together. Here's hoping... --Robert Wilonsky

The peculiar things about sugar cookies is the extra softness you get from every bite. Sugar and various sweeteners . The reason behind that are the ingredients which comprise. It is all dry categories sugar are hygroscopic in nature, they had a strong attraction when mixed with water. The significant benefit they provide is that they safeguard the structure builders from moisture and water. Along with maintaining the same tenderness, moistness and softness as when you 1st baked them, the end product results in sugar cookies having a shelf life longer compared with normal cookies. As a consequence, situation think in which you reduce granulated amount sugar, the outcome will be a larger amount of water content in the sugar cookies.
When considering the crunchiness or sugar softness cookie you may consider that the finer the granules the better it will be to spread the cookies on the table. Note that the confectionery sugar has more of cornstarch which reduces the possibility for you to spread the cookie dough around. In general, in case the sugar is added in nice proportion then it stabilizes the whipped egg whites. Virtually, spreading procedure out and collection of the egg the collection proteins slows down. It protects the air bubbles from collapsing when creating thick viscous syrup. You should take this seriously. It is usually good to see the granulated sources sugar so that we are in a better position of fusing the improve constituents. Notice that the source is primarily the sugarcane or the sugar beets. Sucrose is granulated chemical position sugar.
The elementary usage is in baking sugar cookies. Confectionery sugar is mixture of cornstarch and granulated sugar. The sugar finesse ranges anywhere from 6x to 10x. With all that said. The cookies that are created from brown sugar will have a softer texture a darker colour-tone. The difference arises at the time of the baking development where sugar melting crystal requires place it moves to the surface. That's right. It is there where the dim color is provided and it caramelizes for added flavor. Whilst, adding or blowing air can be done for creaming softened butter with sugar. Undoubtedly, go get your quite nice newest coffee cup and begin dunking some quite warm sugar cookies in the warm coffee and you will be delighted for nearly hours.

Let's be clear: the jubilation exhibited by investors in European equities and periphery bonds is misplaced and has created a sucker's rally. Spain's IBEX rose 2.4% Wednesday and shares of Bankia, the country's large nationalized lender, leaped nearly 20%. The EuroStoxx 50 hit 2,569.83, its highest level since September 25. Partially responsible for the rampant and irresponsible optimism is Moody's decision not to follow in S&P's footsteps in downgrading Spain.
Moody's rationale for not cutting Spain to 'junk' status was, ironically, that the ESM and the ECB are willing to prop up the market for Spanish sovereign debt. As I noted in a piece published elsewhere Wednesday, the idea that a country's likelihood of receiving assistance from a rescue vehicle and a central bank is somehow indicative of its being more creditworthy is the definition of absurdity:
...saying that entry into an ESM funded program won't lead to a downgrade as long as Spain retains access to 'private capital markets' is nonsensical. If Spain had sufficient and meaningful access to private capital markets it would not be enrolling in an ESM program.
Furthermore, as the Wall Street Journal notes, by not downgrading Spain to junk, Moody's has probably delayed Spain's aid request. That is, by its (in)action, the ratings firm has made less likely the very event it used to justify not downgrading Spain:
Moody's suggested a big part of its decision was that Spain would probably apply for official aid from its euro-zone partners...Madrid may well apply for this help...but as long as Spanish bonds remain at investment grade, Spain has less incentive to ask for assistance.
One thing is clear: the words or actions of the ECB are not 'sustaining' demand for Spanish debt as Moody's would have the market believe. There is no demand left to sustain. Indeed the very reason the ECB is taking unprecedented steps is because demand for Spanish bonds dried up so much in July that the Spanish yield curve inverted.
This is something international law firm Cleary Gottlieb no doubt understands as evidenced by a paper written by one of its lawyers Lee C. Buchheit in conjunction with noted Duke Law Professor G. Mitu Gulati entitled "The Eurozone Debt Crisis--The Options Now". Buchheit and Gulati describe ECB and ESM involvement as follows:
...intervention in the primary or the secondary markets in order to suppress the yields on a debtor country's paper and thereby permit continued access to market borrowings at tolerable coupon levels. [Emphasis mine.]
Contrast this with Moody's characterization:
...the willingness of the European Central Bank (ECB) to undertake outright purchases of Spanish government bonds to contain their price volatility...should in turn help sustain demand for Spanish government bonds. [Emphasis mine.]
As indicated by the highlighted terminology in the above cited passages, the realistic characterization of the current situation is that the ECB and ESM are making it possible for Spain to borrow -- they are permitting it. In the more charitable characterization, demand for Spanish debt is there, the ECB and ESM are simply working to ensure that existing demand is sustained. This is a critical distinction as it would be quite difficult to justify not downgrading a country's debt if the only thing keeping yields on its bonds from skyrocketing was official sector intervention.
When there is existing demand, a country may be able to continue to borrow, just at elevated (but still tolerable) rates. When the only demand that exists is demand either from a central bank/rescue vehicle or derived from a desire to front-run official sector purchases to make a quick profit, the debtor country will likely lose all market access in fairly short order as, contrary to popular belief, the central bank is incapable of supporting the market for an extended period. From Buchheit and Gulati:
...the track record for official sector intervention to massage yields on sovereign bonds is not good. In the early days of the European debt crisis, the ECB intervened in the secondary markets to buy Greek, Irish and Portuguese bonds. The effort failed in each case to preserve market access for more than a few weeks or months.
In the case of the ECB's OMT plan, the effort to suppress yields by purchasing bonds in the secondary market will invariably fail again. The reason why is simple and it is something I have been saying for quite some time but which only recently is being taken seriously by the masses: central bank mark-to-market losses matter, even if not strictly in terms of the balance sheet, undoubtedly in terms of the political will to support the central bank's actions. As Buchheit and Gulati put it,
...the markets may mercilessly test the ECB's willingness to persist in buying unlimited quantities of peripheral sovereign bonds. And every time a prominent politician in Germany or elsewhere, perhaps goaded by an ECB report of an eye-watering mark-to-market loss on OMT-acquired bonds, rails against the OMT program, the shorts will be emboldened. They will constantly be measuring the amount of political rope left in the ECB's coil.
Furthermore, the lawyers note that by activating the OMT program the ECB could paint itself into a corner in terms of an exit strategy in the event a program country fails to implement the promised austerity measures. In short, program countries might well decide that it is politically expedient to drag their feet regarding the institution of painful budget cuts. After all, the ECB is unlikely to cut a program country loose, because if they did, the mark-to-market losses on the existing periphery bond portfolio could bankrupt the central bank:
Rather than abruptly suspend further OMT purchases to a non-complying country, with the predictable consequence of an immediate spike in yields and massive mark-to-market losses in the OMT portfolio, the Europeans may feel that they have little choice but to accede to whatever relaxation of the adjustment program is demanded by the debtor country. [Emphasis mine.]
Of course this isn't desirable either as the very reason the periphery lost access to the bond market in the first place was its general lack of fiscal restraint. If periphery nations participating in the OMT program were to decide that the ECB had no choice but to continue to purchase bonds, these countries might well continue to demonstrate shortsightedness in terms of fiscal policy. This would lead to a situation wherein investors will continue to demand higher premia for the countries' bonds which will in turn cause mark-to-market losses for the ECB, all the while necessitating more OMT purchases which themselves will incur losses, and around we go.
No matter how many ratings agencies attempt to sugar coat the situation and no matter how many official sector promises regarding the 'indissoluble' nature of the euro are made, investors can be sure that this situation will end badly. There simply is no way out save the painful implementation of austerity over the course of several years in the periphery. Investors should view the recent rally in European equities and peripheral debt as an opportunity to capitalize on Europe's eventual day of reckoning. I recommend betting against European equities (NYSEARCA:FEZ) (NYSEARCA:EWP) (NYSEARCA:EWI) (NYSEARCA:EWG), for volatility (NYSEARCA:VXX), and against periphery sovereign debt.

I'm in court for a 2nd duo and just got my third.
State, Local, and Municipal Law Attorney
There are mandatory minimum sentences that may arise in your cases. Furthermore, if it is your third DUI, you may face felony charges. I highly recommend you retain an attorney.
Please note that this is not legal advice and is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship. The post is only an opinion. You should speak to an attorney for further information.

DUI / DWI Attorney
Not necessarily, but the odds are not in your favor unless at least one of the cases is dismissed. You need to retain qualified counsel ASAP.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
It is possible that you could go to jail. Hire a good DUI defense attorney to minimize the damages. Do everything your attorney tells you to do. Stop drinking and driviing!
Criminal Defense Attorney
The third DUI is likely going to be charged as a felony. Even if it is not, the fact that you have received a 2nd and now a 3rd charge in rapid succession is going to certainly be viewed as an aggravating factor. You need good legal counsel immediately.
Responses on AVVO do not establish an attorney-client relationship. All responses to questions should be used for informational purposes only. Always consult personally with an attorney prior to initiating or responding to any legal action.
Estate Planning Attorney
You need a good attorney DUI immediately-it is possible that jail time will be involved.
The answer given does not imply that an attorney-client relationship has been established and your best course of action is to have legal representation in this matter.
Criminal Defense Attorney
There is little doubt that the state will be seeking jail time; the state could also charge you with a felony which would mean you are facing prison time. If you have not already done so, hire an experienced criminal defense/DUI attorney. One or the other case may be defensible; at the very least an experienced attorney can minimize the sentence. Most of us provdie free consultations. www.galivanlaw.net
Criminal Defense Attorney
You are out of control and the judge may very well think that it is time to incarcerate you before you kill someone or yourself. You should retain a good DWI lawyer and stop drinking and driving.

| IceKeys101 chapter 1 . 6/9/2013
I have read this story 10 times and I cry about the same every time I read it maybe 10 bathtubs full of my tears because of this story it's the best story ever I hope my PM gave you ideas of the next chapter
| Hneko chapter 2 . 5/3/2013

| Cassie chapter 1 . 5/2/2013
Plz make a second chapter! I fell in love with this story thay i even cried! I really hope you can make it so lavi is really alive!
| RiversofSilver chapter 1 . 5/1/2013
Dude, if you don't write a chapter, I will go crazy, I swear. Can Lavi be like, presumed dead? That way there's a chance that he's still alive? UPDATE!
| 91kaycee chapter 1 . 3/21/2013
amazing! please continue! also did lavi still have both eyes? if so make his death be wrong but he lost the use of his eye and other awesome stuff! look forward to read your next chapie! :) may the muses or plot bunnies be in your favor.
| Origami Lotus chapter 1 . 3/15/2013
Please please let it be a mistake! Please let it be like in nanny Mcfee 2 were they messed up and sent the wrong telegram to the town. Please let him be MIA and they find him later just please don't let him be dead...please?
Loved the chapter and the letters this is really be beautiful and I'm close to tears right now _ but I love this story but it, it just hit me in the feels. This is really well written and I can't wait till the next chapter
| PheonixShadow chapter 1 . 3/14/2013
NOOOOOO keep him alive! :( I think it's heart breaking when people who are forced to fight for their country ends up leaving their loved ones behind... but otherwise, it's perfect, their relationship. The letter Lavi wrote to Allen asking him to be his sweetheart is so cute! And heartwarming. 3 And we all know that's what Laven is about. Loving but in a way tragic, because of their circumstances.
| EvaWinters chapter 1 . 3/11/2013
That was so sad in the end, but it was a nice story.
BTW, did the Hughes you referenced in there based off of the Full Metal Alchemist Hughes?
| mitsuyo-chan chapter 1 . 3/10/2013
Haaaa? You killed Lavi! ;( Now sit down and write a next chapter with the miracle of Allen in alive Lavi's arms! :D
| The damon girl chapter 1 . 3/6/2013
This story was really sad. I liked it, but I prefer happy ending. Lavi and Allen was too cute together, I almost thought it was a crime, that the story ended like this, but if it wasn't like this, then this wouldn't be yours. At the end I cried for the first time after reading a story. I would love to read a happy Laven fic from you, so I'm going to check your profile. Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm not from England, I learned it in school. Good luck in the future!

Shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After chickenpox illness, the virus lies dormant in certain nerve tissue. As people age, it is possible for the virus to reappear in the form of shingles. Shingles is more common in people 50 years of age and older and in people who have weak immune systems. Up to 1 million cases of shingles occur each year in the United States.
A shingles rash usually appears on one side of the face or body and follows along the nerve root. The rash lasts from 2 to 4 weeks. The main symptom of shingles is pain, which can be quite severe and persist even after the rash is gone. Other symptoms include fever, headache, chills and upset stomach.
Treatment of shingles focuses on shortening the length of illness and pain relief. Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir, are used to help shorten the length of illness. Pain medications, including topical medications, are used to help relieve the pain associated with shingles.
There is only one shingles vaccine. It is a live, attenuated vaccine.
Product: Zostavax® (Shingles)
Manufacturer: Merck & Co.
Year licensed: 2006
Product Insert
In the Shingles Prevention Study, half of the participants were assigned a single injection of the zoster vaccine and the other half a placebo vaccine. Neither the researchers nor the participants knew who received vaccine and who received placebo until after the study was over. During an average of more than three years of follow-up, the vaccine reduced the incidence of shingles by 51 percent: 642 cases of shingles occurred among those in the placebo group compared with only 315 in the vaccinated group. Among all vaccine recipients, the total burden of pain and discomfort due to shingles was 61 percent lower than in placebo recipients.
Zoster vaccine reduced the incidence of shingles by 63.9% in subjects aged 60 - 69 years of age and 37.9% in people aged 70 years or older.

[Teams] Arsenal vs Blackburn: Vermaelen Starts, Wilshere On The Bench
Arsenal welcome Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers to the Emirates this afternoon for their FA Cup fifth round tie.
We came out on top in a five-goal thriller against Brighton in the previous round and victory today would see us through to the last 8 and in with a real shout of ending our well-documented trophy drought.
Boss Arsene Wenger has taken a huge gamble by starting captain Thomas Vermaelen for the game today. The skipper has proven his fitness after missing the last three games with an ankle injury and starts despite Bayern Munich being just around the corner.
Francis Coquelin comes in at right back while Tomas Rosicky, Abou Diaby and Gervinho all return to the starting eleven. Here are the confirmed line-ups for the game:
Arsenal Team
Szczesny, Coquelin, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Diaby, Rosicky, Arteta, Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud
Subs: Mannone, Sagna, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Walcott, Podolski
Blackburn Team
Kean, Orr, Dann, Hanley, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Williamson, Lowe, Markus Olsson, Kazim-Richards, Rhodes.
Subs: Usai, Givet, Fabio Nunes, Rekik, Nuno Gomes, Goodwillie, Bentley
Now we've seen the teams, what's your score prediction for the game? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below.
