I live in Canton, work in Milton/Alpharetta (400 exit 12), so would appreciate recommendations for Canton, Woodstock, Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, anything OTP north, etc. For the first time in my life I got past the itchy stage. I'm turning 50 on Friday and am treating myself by flying down to Orlando for the weekend. There will be pictures taken. I've only had a goatee for about 2.5-ish months and some parts are longer than I imagined they would be by now. I really want it looking nice. Anyone know of a place that specializes in this or can at least do this? submitted by /u/MickIsShort4Michael [link] [comments]

Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images Reynolds has asked the Pirates to trade him this offseason. Major League Baseball’s Winter Meetings will officially get underway on Sunday and while there are plenty of free agent discussions going on, a potential trade target surfaced Saturday. Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has asked the team for a trade, and while the club says that they are focused on improving this offseason, they will no doubt listen to trade offers. The Athletic’s Rob Biertempfel reported Saturday that he was told at the start of the offseason that the Atlanta Braves might make an under the radar push for Reynolds this winter. At the start of the offseason, a major-league source told The Athletic the Bravesmight make a strong, under-the-radar push for Reynolds this winter. That could mean a sort of homecoming for Reynolds, who attended Vanderbilt and lives in Nashville, a four-hour drive from Atlanta. Whether or not Reynolds’ trade demand helps or hurts a potential Braves’ pursuit remains to be seen. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported Saturday evening that the Pirates are listening to offers for Reynolds, but the price tag is steep. The #Pirates are listening on trade proposals for outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who formally requested a trade, but the asking price remains quite steep, rival GMs say, and they do not anticipate he will be moved.— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) December 4, 2022 The Braves have several young arms that are approaching the major leagues such as Darius Vines and Jared Shuster. They also have Bryce Elder and Kyle Muller who spent most of last season at Triple A, but don’t have a clear path to a rotation spot in 2023. The position player side is thin. It doesn’t seem that Atlanta would deal Vaughn Grissom before the shortstop position is settled. Justyn Henry-Malloy could be expendable if the Braves were adding an outfielder in return. One thing is for sure, there will be a number of teams interested if the Pirates elect to make Reynolds available. For now it is just speculation, but we should see a good bit more of that over the next few days. Stay tuned.

Yukihito Taguchi-USA TODAY Sports The reigning champs look to continue their run while England prepare for a physical showdown. The World Cup is an unforgiving beast. One moment you and your country are celebrating emerging from the group stage and the next, you may be catching a plane home. The next set of matches on December 4th consist of reigning champs France against Robert Lewandowski’s Poland, and then England facing off against Senegal. At first glance, anyone would say there are two clear favorites here in France and England. However, this edition of the World Cup has proven time and time again that being the favorite means nothing, other than the potential to be extremely upset by a “lesser” team that leaves it all out on the pitch. Expect a lot of that from Poland and Senegal, and be prepared for two enjoyable matches. Here’s a look at day two of this World Cup’s knockout round. France vs Poland — 10:00 a.m. How to Watch FOX, Telemundo, Peacock (premium) The Matchup Despite losing Karim Benzema before the tournament ever started, France hasn’t missed much of a step with Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe hitting the back of the net multiple times. They routed Australia 4-1 and beat Denmark 2-1, which was enough to leap ahead and secure their spot in the knockout stage before their third match was ever played. They were lucky enough to be able to rest a majority of their starting lineup against Tunisia in a match they ended up losing 1-0, so needless to say, they’re relaxed and primed for their run back to the final. Poland, on the other hand, was almost knocked out of the tournament amidst the chaos of Group C. In the final few minutes of their prior match, all Mexico needed to overtake Poland was either a goal of their own or a goal from Argentina, one which Lionel Messi missed on a penalty kick earlier in the match. Mexico couldn’t control their own destiny, and Poland did enough to keep Argentina from giving El Tri a lifeline. Robert Lewandowski will be looking to capitalize on his moment after scoring his first World Cup goal in the group stage, but the Polish team will have to find a way to get him the ball. Unfortunately, their distribution to him has been lacking, and he’s had to find his own ways to get involved in the game. Player to Watch: Kylian Mbappe Danielle Parhizkaran-USA TODAY Sports Mbappe propped himself up on the world stage in 2018 when France won it all, and he’s already shown he’s not slowing down. He’s one of the most talented players around right now and he runs the left side of the pitch like nobody’s business. He’ll find a way to get on the board; if he doesn’t, France still has a ton of proven goal scorers who can take advantage of the room he’s going to create. England vs Senegal — 2 p.m. How to Watch FOX, Universo, Peacock (premium) The Matchup England can’t fall asleep in this one. This World Cup has proven that England’s kryptonite is heavy pressure, and Senegal is one of the best teams at the tournament at throwing everyone ahead aggressively, almost recklessly. While this strategy may be high risk, high reward - it always is - England have looked poor against the softest of duress. Iran found this out and scored two on them in the first match and the USMNT looked very threatening when they performed the same way. The other side of that coin is that England can be a very clean team in possession and progression, and they can score goals from just about anywhere (just ask Iran). No matter how the match advances initially, Senegal will need to keep their backline and box locked down or they’re going to be absolutely punished. Also, one guy named Harry Kane will be looking to finally get on the scoresheet, and that should be concerning for anyone not wearing England’s colors. Player to Watch: Harry Kane Yukihito Taguchi-USA TODAY Sports It’s wild that England has scored nine goals in this World Cup and not a single one has come from their most prolific striker, Harry Kane. He’s scored 51 times in 78 matches with The Three Lions, so the phrase “chomping at the bit” is a massive understatement. He’ll be looking to do anything he can to hit the back of the net, and in similar fashion to Robert Lewandowski, he only needs an inch of space.
