Page 8 - The Behrend College Beacon - Thursday, February 18, 1999 Website of the week by Jon Stubbs features editor The world of digital music on the internet is constantly changing, and so are the methods of acquiring it is as well. A few issues back the Behrend Beacon brought you www.palavista.com, which, at the time, was a great search engine for MP3’s. However, it crashed often and had many dead links. Well, with necessity being the father of invention, the World Wide Web brings us www.audiogalaxy.com. Unlike Palavista, Audiogalaxy searches for the song one wants quickly, without constantly bom- \ ACROSS 1 Motel chain 7 Respectful address 10 First word, often 14 Handsome man 15 Night before 16 Guitarist Clapton 17 9-to-5-er, and then some 19 Dusting powder 20 Everyone 21 Swiss painter 22 Competent 23 Flatfish 25 Kernels 26 Stated one's case 27 Speaker of the Hall of Fame 28 One of the girls 29 Globe 31 Deed 32 Ump’s cohort 33 Grain depository 34 Flavorful herb 36 Specially made 40 Poker stake 41 Industrious insect 42 Compass point 43 Make even 46 Neighbor of Ga. 47 Track 48 Showing strain 49 Baleen whale food 51 Water whirl 52 Against: pref. 53 River of Sudan 54 Shoshone 55 __ monster 56 Fuzzy 60 Flair 61 Service charge 62 Actress Jeanne 63 Utters 64 Leno’s Hall 65 Familiar with DOWN Uncooked Fuss Virtuous conduct Tarsi Clock face Silvery-gray barding the user with advertise ments for porno sites. In addition, Audiogalaxy tells the user if a cer tain site is a ratio site or not, which is very useful. Palavista simply led the surfer to an “Error 401” page. Another advantage of Audiogalaxy over Palavista is a percentage rat ing of the chance of the site being open. This makes it easier to weed out the bad pages from the useful ones.

Audiogalaxy.com has many ad vantages over the old, outdated Palavista. So if you’re still using the prehistoric way of attaining your MP3’s, get with the times and come to www.audiogalaxy.com. The Beacon will feature a different website each week. ***•*»»<. X WWW.

This restaurant is part of a chain of Australian-style steakhouses. I had heard that they made a wonderful steak, and 1 heard right. Pittsbuigh was the closest we were to one, until now, so l just had to go cheek it out. 1 called for reser vations, but The Outback doesn't ac cept reservations. When my date and I arrived on the scene, there was a forty-five minute wait; also, the host ess informed me that this was usually the case on any given night. Well a little wait isn’t such a tragedy, because we could just spend it in the bar. and enjoy an appetizer and a drink. The atmosphere at The Outback is very friendly, everything is done in a nice dark wood. The entire restaurant is full of Australian knick-knacks, and on the walls are beautiful pictures of Australian landscape. The bar has a good variety of draft and bottled beer, and a very nice wine list.

For reservations, call the Studio Thatre box office at (814) 898-6016. quor selection is passable. The bar tenders were very competent and pleasant; they served us our appetiz ers while we were waiting. The ap petizers were excellent, 1 had the Bloomin' Onion. It was exceptional. It is a whole onion with the core re moved and sliced in such a way that it blossoms out from the center. It is deep fried in a special batter and served whole. My date had the Golden Coast Coconut Shrimp, which were also very good. They are deep fried tiger shrimp, rolled in coconut, and served with a marmalade sauce for dipping. After we were through at the bar we were seated, and ready to begin our meal. The menu selection was ex cellent with several different variet ies of seafood, pork, lamb, chicken, and beef. The fresh fish of the day was mahi-mahi, and even though it sounded very tempting when I’m in a steak house your best bet is that I’ll be ordering steak. Well true to form I ordered the prime rib. WOW!!!! It was awesome. It was the best prime rib I've ever had. It was done to per fection and the quality of the meat was superb. It is their least seasoned steak because of the way it’s prepared. Since it isn’t grilled it’s not heavily seasoned with the Outback’s secret blend of twenty-three spices, which flavors everything on the grill. My date had the pork chops and when the waitress, who was a great server, asked her how she wanted them done 1 was a little surprised I’ve never heard of a restaurant cooking pork anything but well. The waitress then explained that the meat is all raised by Outback and since they’re only fed the best organic feed there is no chance of disease associated with undercooked pork. When the medium rare pork chops came out they were delicious. By the lime we were done with our meals we were so full that we didn't have enough room to even think about dessert. All in all I had a great time, and a great meal at Erie’s newest restaurant, and I would wholeheartedly recom mend you go there and see for your self but if you don’t want to wait for a table get there before five. For a three star meal, make sure you hit the Outback.
