Nike unveiled new all-white uniforms that will be worn by Ohio State when they play Michigan next week, the latest from Nike's "rivalry" program.

But more importantly for the fans of college football, it will mark the fifth straight season in which the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry will not feature the classic uniforms of both schools.

The last time both schools wore their traditional uniform was 2008. The biggest offenders are Ohio State and Nike who use this game as a showcase for new and innovative designs.

On the next few pages we will take a look back at the recent games from what was once one of the most aesthetically pleasing college football games of the year.

Last year, Ohio State wore a chrome helmet with a black facemask and a red jersey with grey numbers and thicker black accent stripes.

In 2011, Ohio State wore their traditional road uniform but Michigan wore helmet with numbers.

In 2010, Ohio State switched to a solid red helmet and a red jersey with a funky number font.

There's nothing more pleasant than curling up with a good book on a chilly evening. But choosing a great read can be difficult.

Back in July, we wrote about Amazon editors' selections for best books that were released between January and June. Now, Amazon is back with an updated list of the Best Books of 2013 (so far).

Here are the top 10 books from this year, according to Amazon editors.

1. "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt: This is both the heart-wrenching story of Theo Decker, a man who lost his mother as a boy in a freak accident, as well as a globe-spanning mystery about a painting that has gone missing. The 700+ page book has a moving plot and urgency that is impossible to resist.

2. "And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini: From the author of "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" comes the tale of a brother and sister separated after their father sells the girl to a wealthy couple in Kabul, Afghanistan. Told through multiple viewpoints over half a century, the book follows the brother and sister through wars, births, deaths, deceit, and love.

3. "Thank You for Your Service" by David Finkel: This nonfiction book is a poignant, eye-opening collection of interviews with soldiers returning home from combat with shattered bodies and minds. An incredibly important read, it's impossible to remain unaffected by their struggles and slow readjustment to civilian life.

4. "Life After Life" by Kate Atkinson: What if you could die and be reborn again? That's the case with Ursula Todd, the star character of this brilliant, multi-layered novel. With the backdrop of London during WWII, "Life After Life" is funny, philosophical, and powerful as it follows the consequences of Ursula's time-bending ability on her family, friends, and the 20th-century.

5. "Pilgrim's Wilderness" by Tom Kizzia: This is the true story of a family that seemed to be living a pious life in an Alaskan ghost town until its revealed there's a dark underbelly beneath their sweet veneer — FBI files, physical and sexual abuse, brainwashing, and violent deaths. Tom Kizzia, a reporter for Anchorage Daily News, dives into the the murky waters of this family's past.

6. "Lawrence in Arabia" by Scott Anderson: "Lawrence in Arabia" follows the four low-ranking men who all shaped the Middle East through battles, spying, and scheming during the first World War. Based on intensive research, it's hard not to get caught up in these sweeping conflicts that still influence the world today.

7. "Tenth of December" by George Saunders: An eclectic collection of a dozen short stories, George Saunders weaves dream-like, stream-of-conscious narratives with his staple dark humor and sadness, all grappling with the question of morality. His first short story collection in six years, Saunders' writing is irresistible.

8. "The Son" by Philipp Meyer: A true epic of the American West spanning more than 150 years and detailing the multigenerational struggle for power, land, and oil. As told by three unforgettable members of the Texas family McCullough, the book spans from the childhood of Eli "The Colonel" McCullough all the way to the economic frontier of modern Texas.

9. "A House in the Sky" by Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett: The dramatic memoir of Amanda Lindhout, a woman whose curiosity about the world led her to its most exotic and remote destinations, as well as its most dangerous country — Somalia. Her harrowing abduction and 460-day captivity is both vivid and suspenseful as she unveils the horrors of her torture and fight to survive.

10. "Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell: This Young Adult novel about two misfit teenagers who fall in love on a bus is sweet without being saccharine. It’s also a story adults can love, too, as they remember their own high school sweethearts in this funny, sarcastic, yet sincere novel.

Chili has so many regional iterations, and each version comes with its own cult following. Is it best with beef or chicken? Green chiles or red? Vegetarian or bean-free Texas-style? F&W looked past the geographic divides to find the most delicious chilies in the land.

Institute of Chili Truck in San Antonio, Tex.

Parked near the Alamo, this food truck was inspired by San Antonio’s 19th-century “chili queens”—street food pioneers described in Texas histories and by authors such as Stephen Crane and O. Henry.

Today, visual artist and cook Ana Fernandez serves a barely modified version of a chili recipe she found in the Institute of Texan Cultures’ archives.

The mixture of ground chuck and beef brisket is spiced with a blend of fresh and dried peppers. The food truck’s menu includes corn bread, tamales and a luxe brisket burger.

Red Apron Butchery in Washington, D.C., and Fairfax, Va.

Leave it to an artisan butcher to create a chili that doesn’t need beans.

Meat savant Nate Anda rubs beef and pork shoulder with a signature blend of smoked paprika, chipotle, brown sugar, coffee and coriander, then marinates it overnight.

He renders bacon fat to brown the meat, creating a caramelized, subtly smoky foundation.

It takes an additional six hours of stove-top simmering to produce a batch.

Rocky Mountain Chili Bowl in Denver

What started as a food truck flaunting the slogan “Go green or go home” has grown into a dedicated green chili restaurant.

RMCB’s pork and vegetarian green chilies are available in mellow, medium or hot—spiked with hot Hatch green chiles, jalapeños and secret seasonings. Thanks to implementing a long list of eco-initiatives, the restaurant is also now certified green.

Goodfriend Beer Garden & Burger House in Dallas

Sure, this East Dallas bar serves 12 American craft beers on draught (plus 60 others in bottles) and more than 10 kinds of excellent burgers.

But the unsung hero of the menu may be the Texas-style chili—no beans—made with grass-fed beef and topped with cheddar, sour cream and scallions. Order a bowl on its own, try it on waffle fries or on an all-beef hot dog.

Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tenn.

This hotel in the Great Smoky Mountains is known for its elevated farm-to-table Foothills Cuisine. Its cold-season chili is no exception.

During the fall and winter, chef Josh Feathers serves a complex chili made with short ribs, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and coffee, sweetened with local sorghum and served over Carolina Gold rice.

Tico in Boston

1996 F&W BNC Michael Schlow opened this Back Bay restaurant in 2011, inspired by his travels to Spain, Mexico and South America. For his turkey and black bean chili, he starts by sautéing the base ingredients in incredibly rich bone marrow instead of oil, adding sweetness and minerality as well as depth.

He braises the turkey thighs in vegetable stock enriched with achiote paste, tossing in fresh green jalapeños for spice. The chili is served with imaginative toppings such as tangy Manchego cheese, fresh lime juice and micro cilantro, with a crispy tostada on the side.

East Harlem, aka Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, is still one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in New York City, but that hasn't stopped an influx of young professionals, with rising rents and other signs of gentrification.

You can spot the rapid change in real estate data (see map on right) or, better yet, just by walking around the  neighborhood.

The new Spanish Harlem.

The demographics are clearly in flux, as the number of self-identified Whites and Asians have doubled over the past two decades.

This isn't the first demographic turnover for the area. Always a working-class neighborhood and originally a German area, by the early 20th century East Harlem was largely inhabited by Irish, Italian, and Eastern European Jews.

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days at the airport. On average, airlines across the country see a passenger increase that day of up to 259%, according to a new study conducted by the U.S. Travel Association.

But soon, the increased volume of travelers seen around the holidays could become more of an everyday occurrence, the study found. To be exact, within a mere five years, 24 of the top 30 U.S. airports will experience passenger levels that they usually only see on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

Six airports already experience those high passenger volumes at least one day a week, including the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, the Honolulu International Airport, the Chicago Midway International Airport, the Orlando International Airport, the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. 

"Every projection holds that the demand for travel will continue to dramatically rise," U.S. Travel President and CEO Roger Dow said in a news release. "But that rising demand will be stifled without a significant effort to modernize infrastructure."

Dow said the moment of greatest need for airports has already arrived. To combat the problem of overwhelming numbers of passengers, another recent study conducted by The Eno Center for Transportation suggests generating more investment in airports, creating more federal grants, letting airports increase their Passenger Facility Charges and separating air traffic control and safety functions of the FAA to accelerate air traffic control modernization.

This chart shows when the 30 largest U.S. airports will start to feel more like the day before Thanksgiving on a more regular basis.

It's Vice President Joe Biden's 34th birthday today, he told reporters upon arriving back at the White House early this morning from a trip to Panama. 

Biden was returning from a trip during which he toured the $5.25 billion expansion of the Panama Canal, while praising the Panamanian investment as one that will help create jobs at U.S. ports.

OK, so it's actually Biden's 71st birthday. But in the spirit of youth, here are 34 moments when the vice president has exemplified what it means to Be Biden.

(Grace Wyler originally contributed some of the photos contained in this article.)

Being Biden at age 10.

Being Biden, with this kind of hair.

Being Biden, as a senator, scolding the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Secretary of State George Shultz that U.S. policy toward South Africa for what he said amounted to a shameful lack of backbone.

When Super Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, we knew the destruction would be unimaginable.

The storm was as strong as they get, and as we've ever seen. It was the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds above 200 miles per hour, and 23-foot storm surges.

As images and footage of the storm and its aftermath rolled in, many were shocked by the damage.

Go right to the images >

Thousands of people also likely died. Not as much as the 10,000 some claimed, but a very large hit for such a small country. Approximately 1,700 died, including two Americans.

Not only could we see the storm itself from space, but satellites can also see the devastation of the storm is from the sky. Google For Media put together these before and after images of hard-hit parts of the cities of Dulag and Tacloban. The images were taken on November 10, but we just saw them in a post by Discover magazine's ImaGeo blogger Tom Yulsman.

They are truly devastating.

Typhoon Haiyan hit the coast of the Philippines in the Early morning of November 7. It was so huge it was visible from space in this image of the globe.

Tacloban City and Dulag are located on the edge of the islands facing the ocean. Tacloban city has more coverage because it's set on a bit of an inlet, but that might have caused a larger storm surge in the area if the water had no where else to go.

This is the Philippine city of Dulag on Sept. 11 of 2006.

Sriracha is officially America's favorite hot sauce.

Five years ago, you probably had never heard of the stuff, but now you'll see Driracha on most casual dining tables, not to mention in the news: The sauce even has its own documentary, and cult-like following.

Sriracha is a versatile condiment: It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and pairs well with just about anything. You can enjoy it on a burrito or a taco, on your fried chicken or on top of your scrambled eggs. And it will kick up a bowl of noodles or wonton soup.

A 17-ounce bottle of the stuff will cost you about $4, but sometimes if can be fun to make things yourself, right? That's why I recently tried my hand at a homemade version of sriracha.

The nice thing about making this hot sauce at home is that I was able to use fresh peppers, which really came through in the final product. That's about all I can say for the pros, to be honest. The homemade variety is tasty, I'll give it that, but it is not exactly a quick process, plus you'll end up spending more money making it yourself than if you just bought it at the store. The peppers alone ran me about $5, and that doesn't include the sugar, salt, paprika, vinegar and honey. 

On top of the cost, making sriracha is extremely labor intensive. You need to puree the peppers, allow them and the remaining ingredients to sit and ferment for at least two days, puree again, and worst of all, you need to press the mixture through a mesh sieve in order to get the silky smooth product that you're looking for. My arm was absolutely killing me by the time I finished pressing my small batch, which amounted to about two cups — that's not even a full 17-ounce container. 

While I did eat up every last spoonful of my homemade sriracha, I wouldn't necessarily do it again. It could make for a fun holiday gift to give out to friends and family, but you'd better have a lot of clean jars, free time and strong biceps to make enough to share. I will also admit that while good, the taste wasn't quite the same as the bottled stuff. There's something about a manufactured product that is comforting and, most importantly, supposedly free from human error, so you always know what you're getting. At the end of the day, while it was a fun project, I recommend just heading over to the store and grabbing a few containers. There's nothing quite like the original.

Here's how I did it: Full recipe below.

Slice the tops off of your jalapeños, then puree them in a food processor until smooth. Add in your brown sugar, salt, garlic and paprika. Puree until smooth. Place the puree in a jar or sealable container, loosely cover the top, then set aside and allow to sit for at least two days. When you see a few bubbles forming in the bottom of your jar, you're ready to go. You can let it sit for up to five days, but if you're impatient, two is enough.

Add in your distilled vinegar, puree again, then press through a mesh sieve until you've squeezed all of the liquid out of the puree. 

Place the liquid in a sauce pot, bring to a boil, then reduce until slightly thickened, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes.

Place in a clean jar, seal and enjoy! This will keep well in the fridge for up to a week.

Homemade Sriracha

Total Prep Time: 20 minutes + 2 days

Total Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 2 pounds jalapeño or serrano peppers (98% of them should be red - this is all about color)

- 3/4 cup brown sugar

- 8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

- 3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 2/3  cup distilled vinegar

- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar

Instructions:

1. Cut the tops off of your peppers, slice them in half, and place them in your food processor. Process until completely smooth, at least 5 minutes. Add in your brown sugar, garlic, salt and paprika. Process until smooth, at least another 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a large jar or container, loosely cover, and store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 days. After 2 days, you will see bubbling happening in the bottom of the jar. This means that the fermentation process as begun. You can start to puree it now, or you can let it get really bubbly and allow it to sit for five days. The longer it sits, the tastier and spicier it will be.

2. When you're ready to puree, place your pepper mixture back into a food processor, add in the vinegar, and puree again for 5 minutes. Press the mixture through a mesh sieve, until you've gotten every last drop of liquid out, and discard the solids. Place the liquid in a medium sized sauce pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Add in the honey, bring to a simmer, and simmer until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Taste, adjust seasonings as needed, and pour into a clean jar or container. This will keep well in the refrigerator for up to a week.

This new portrait of the Danish royal family to celebrate the 150th anniversary of The House Glücksburg is absolutely horrifying.

The painting is by artist Thomas Kluge, and depicts Queen Margrethe II and her husband the Prince Consort Henrik seated on a couch, surrounded by their royal heirs.

"The present and future monarchs, H.M. the Queen, T.R.H. the Crown Prince and Prince Christian, all make eye contact with us, while their family members are portrayed in their own universe, unprovoked by the gaze of the spectator," the Danish Royal Collections museum explains on its website. "The children are at play with the exception of the upright and severe Prince Christian who seems aware of his future responsibilities."

"Severe" is right:

The creepy portrait — which took Kluge four years to paint and is "a kind of magic realism"— references a painting from the 1880s by Laurits Tuxen that depicts the Danish royal couple with their international family:

The new painting will be exhibited at the Danish Royal Collections at Rosenborg Castle with other royal portraits by the artist from November to March 2014, before it takes its permanent place in the residence of the royal couple at Fredensborg Palace.

Of course, this is not the first royal portrait to draw ire in recent years: A similar controversy erupted over English painter Paul Emsley's soft-focus oil painting of Kate Middleton in 2012. The first official portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge currently hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Chris Poole, creator of the infamous message board site 4chan, doesn't want anyone to suffer from blank-sheet-of-paper syndrome ever again. 

It's hard for people to start something creative from scratch, Poole found through his experience with a prior startup, Canvas, because they're intimidated and don't think their ideas are good enough. 

Enter DrawQuest: an app he launched for iPad back in February that encourages users to get creative by giving them a daily prompt and a template. These prompts and corresponding templates are called "Quests." For example, the app could provide a picture of a stick-figure knight while asking users "What is the knight fighting?" Fill in the scene to complete the Quest. 

Today, Poole is releasing the iPhone version of the app, redesigned and packed with new features. 

"We wanted to one-up ourselves and so we started from scratch," he told Business Insider. 

Here's a taste of what the DrawQuest team added to the app:

• You can now create your own Quests to share with other artists
• Try out the new zoom feature to add more details to your drawings
• If you need to fill the background with one color, use the new paint can feature

Since the tablet app launched, its over 100,000 active users have created more than 5 million drawings. Poole hopes that he'll be able to reach even more potential artists now that he's introduced iPhone use. 

"DrawQuest feels like a game on the surface and we use the daily challenge part of the app to draw people in," Poole says (pun not intended). But, like 4chan did, the app has started to morph into a more all-encompassing community. "We have seen people really embrace DrawQuest as part of their identity and as their creative home on the web. And that's something that we've really tried to foster."

Download the new version of DrawQuest for your iPhone here.

Back in 1789, British sailors in the Pacific mutinied on the HMS Bounty and settled on Tahiti and Pitcairn Island. While the mutineers on Tahiti were later arrested by the British, those on Pitcairn were able to start a community with Tahitian companions. In 1838, the Pitcairn Islands officially became a British territory.

Today there are 48 people living on the tiny island, all said to be descendants of the Bounty mutineers.

As the population dwindles, the once stiff residency requirements are becoming increasingly lax in order to attract more residents. Those looking to live permanently on Pitcairn without prior family ties to the island are required to submit an application to the Island Council and the Governor. Your best shot is to offer "skills which will be beneficial to the Pitcairn community," according to their government website. 

You can also visit — but getting there isn't easy.

One frequent visitor is Scottish-born Tony Probst, 54, who has been an avid explorer since he was a child, spent almost 15 years sailing around the world with his parents.

"I find that I like to go to places that most people have never heard of or care about," he said.

Probst, who has visited four times since 2011, has been dubbed the island's ambassador by the natives. With his permission, we are publishing some of his favorite pictures of Pitcairn.

The British Pitcairn Islands includes four small volcanic islands in the Pacific. Only Pitcairn is inhabited, with around 50 residents.

Much of the Pitcairn terrain is rocky ...

... but that doesn't keep islanders like Brenda from exploring.
