The scene inside the high-ceilinged Northeast Portland warehouse looks like a hybrid between a rummage sale and Home Depot.
Scattered across the warehouse are windows, cabinets, bathtubs, toilets and a host of other salvaged items. Even home appliances and furnaces have a place on the lot.
A ray of sunlight shines in overhead through a skylight. The skylight, from the penguinarium at the Oregon Zoo, was donated like every other item in the warehouse.
These items make up The ReBuilding Center on North Mississippi Avenue, the largest nonprofit reuse center in North America. The center takes in and reuses items that would otherwise occupy landfills.

Two combatants face each other in the moonlight. The mist creeps along the dead leaves strewn across the ancient forest floor. An ominous voice bellows from the shadows in preparation for the imminent bloodbath.
"Round One … fight!"
The voice echoes through the night air as the fighters surge forward, colliding in a cacophony of violent battle-cries and the vicious clash of steel and bone.

On Nov. 25, 2007, Bungie Software and Microsoft Game Studios released their record breaking game, "Halo 3" for the Xbox 360 video game console. To say "record breaking" seems to be a bit of an understatement, though.
Not only did "Halo 3" bring in $170 million on its release date, the game went on to sell $300 million worth of copies in its first week of sales, thereby becoming the highest grossing entertainment product ever.
