FYI: to all current and prospective UBNI-ans...............

There are two websites listed in the iBox, and they are both correct. Per the company attorney, Martin Licht, in New York, UBNI will be marketing it's products through the newly created shopdarosario.com webiste listed in the iBox.

If you need to verify this, please contact the UBNI stock transfer agent at their new phone number 972-612-4120. The listed UBNI contact numbers only take orders for goodies......

That makes the company information even more confusing. Perhaps hollen could fix it so that it makes sense. It would be a good thing.

[scion]

I'm losing track of the truffles now - hollen has deleted over 20% of the posts, and there is no continuity.

[janice shell]

It seems that UBNI is now run by the Urbani family, so it's okay for them to use the marks.

Looks as if Rosario's entirely out of the picture.

[scion]

I wonder why the UBNI company information still has the Urbani Marks displayed. I mentioned it at least three times to the compiler, hollen the deleter, and he hasn't done anything except delete posts referring to it.

If I was management at UBNI I'd want hollen deposed - he's antagonistic and his power complex is out of control.

No Rosario. So it would seem that he's irrelevant as far as the future of this company is concerned.

[janice shell]

Yum.

[scion]

I watched a TV program a few days ago, all about finding truffles in France, using dogs. The pig has gone out of favor because it is not a ubiquitous as it used to be, and also it needed high maintenance. The dogs are trained to fined truffles, which involves feeding the pups with truffle-flavored milk. It takes about a year to train a dog.

GRILLED DUCK BREASTS WITH TRUFFLE HONEY

Ingredients:

1 tbs. coarsely chopped rosemary
1 teas. thyme leaves (powdered)
4 garlic cloves
2 large boneless magrets (duck half-breasts; about 1 pound each) skin on (500 grams)

Combine the rosemary, thyme, and garlic on a cutting board and use a large sharp heavy knife to chop them together a few times. Put the duck breasts in a baking dish or other container and rub about 2/3 of the herb mixture over the meaty side. Rub the remaining garlic and herbs over the skin. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Prepare a hot fire in a grill (alternately, the duck can be cooked in a stove-top grill pan; preheat it over moderately high heat while you are searing the duck breasts)

Meanwhile, brush the garlic-herb mixture off the duck breasts. Using a sharp knife, score the skin of each breast in a crisscross pattern, cutting almost but not quite down to the meat. Heat a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot. Add the duck breasts skin side down and cook until the skin is lightly golden brown and the duck has released a lot of its fat, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reserve the melted duck fat for another use, such as pan frying potatoes, or discard it.

Season the duck on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin side down on the grill (or in the grill pan) and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the skin is deep golden brown. Turn the breasts over and grill for about 5 minutes longer, or until cooked to rare. Brush the duck skin generously with honey, turn over, and grill until the honey begins to caramelize, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Brush the meaty side of the breasts generously with the remaining honey, turn over, and grill for 1 to 1 ½ minutes longer. Transfer the duck to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Transfer the duck breasts to a cutting board, preferably one with a moat to catch juices, and cut the meat on the diagonal into thin slices. Arrange the slices on serving plates or a platter, spoon the juices from the platter and cutting board over them, and sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. Serve at once. Serves 4.

Yes...strange behavior for someone trying to promote a stock to investors. I suppose we're going to get spam and truffles now.

So. On the one hand he says he isn't here to discuss UBNI, and on the other he deletes DD posts about UBNI.

Can't have it both ways.

MINI GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH TRUFFLE CHEESE

Ingredients:

6 tbs. Unsalted or lightly salted butter, at room temperature (90 grams)
16 slices of firm-textured white bread, crusts removed
8 oz. Truffle cheese, cut into slices 1/16 inch thick (250 grams/2mm)

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Spread 3 tablespoons of the butter on 8 of the slices of bread. Arrange the remaining 8 slices on a work surface and top with the truffle cheese. Top with the buttered slices of bread, buttered side up, and cut each sandwich on the diagonal to make 4 triangles.

Arrange the triangles buttered side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the remaining tablespoons of butter over the tops.

Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tops of the sandwiches are beginning to turn golden brown and the cheese is just starting to melt. Using tongs or a spatula, turn the sandwiches and bake for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until the tops are light golden brown. Arrange on a platter and serve. Makes 32

Rosario's offering whole summer truffles at $13 for one ounce. That's not bad.

[scion]

You asked about the truffles - All Fresh Truffles are seasonal and sold by the ounce. Please call us at 1-800-281-2330 to determine availability and price. Truffle season runs from September to the end of December. The truffles come from the principal regions: Piemonte, Toscana, Marche, Umbria, Lazio and Molise. Da Rosario guarantees top quality and receives shipment 3 to 4 times a week.

The court also ordered them to stop using Urbani Marks - and as I said in an ealier post -

This is the reason I pointed out the wrong web site URL in the company information - hollen put it up, and I think it should be corrected. Apparently he doesn't, since he deleted my post asking for it to be corrected.

On April 21, 2003 the Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York ordered Urbani's previously terminated US distributor Rosario's Epicureo, Ltd. and its officers, Rosario and Andrew Safina ("Rosario's") to discontinue effective May 10, 2003 all use of the wordmarks, tradenames and logos of Urbani Tartufi. (the "URBANI MARKS".)

[janice shell]

Then which company is UBNI? The court ordered that Rosario stop using that ticker.

[scion]

Careful now, there's a sensitive flower monitoring your every word...even though it's all about truffles. He likes to delete posts too.

[scion]

The ticker is UBNI and the name changed from SATTEL GLOBAL NETWORKS (BB: SGNW.

[scion]

Getting off topic again hollen? You need to take a few deep breaths and stop behaving as if you are all-poweful.

any further post to me by you will be referred to Matt as stalking.

[janice shell]

Odd. Quite confusing.

Is Urbani a public company?

Is Rosario still a public company?

Who has what ticker?

[janice shell]

Then SGNW is the new ticker. John? Could you change the title of the thread to reflect that?

Unless the actual Urbani intends to go public, of course.

[scion]

Presumably this web site is where hollen got at least part of the jpg he used - http://www.urbanitruffles.com/ -and it it belongs to Urbani. Little things like that could cause legal complications for UBNI, if Urbani decided to be testy.

Hi ToshacH,

Thanks for inviting me to help with the iBox; hope you like it.......

The "jpg" graphic was so big that I had to edit out a little of their "..About Us.." verbiage so the first couple of board posts would show up at the bottom - without folks having to scroll down to them. Oh well, the DD'rs can find all that 'hoopla' on the website anyway - so no big deal.

On April 21, 2003 the Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York ordered Urbani's previously terminated US distributor Rosario's Epicureo, Ltd. and its officers, Rosario and Andrew Safina ("Rosario's") to discontinue effective May 10, 2003 all use of the wordmarks, tradenames and logos of Urbani Tartufi. (the "URBANI MARKS".)

[scion]

I posted this earlier, but it was deleted - Urbani Truffle Family Protects Its Name in Suit With Former U.S. Distributor Rosario´s Epicureo, Ltd.
NEW YORK, May. 06 /PRNewswire/ --

NEW YORK, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- URBANI TARTUFI s.n.c of Sant'Anatolia di Narco, Italy, the world's largest producer of truffles and truffle-related products, is pleased to announce that "we have our name back."

On April 21, 2003 the Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York ordered Urbani's previously terminated US distributor Rosario's Epicureo, Ltd. and its officers, Rosario and Andrew Safina ("Rosario's") to discontinue effective May 10, 2003 all use of the wordmarks, tradenames and logos of Urbani Tartufi. (the "URBANI MARKS".)

Rosario's failed to pay Urbani and others for Urbani Tartufi products that were received and sold. Throughout 2002 Mr. Safina proposed and promised payment schedules. None of those schedules were ever honored.

In late summer of 2002 the Urbani family proposed to create a new entity as the US distributor, including Rosario Safina as part of the new entity, but providing the Urbani family with financial oversight. At that time Rosario Safina also agreed to execute a number of documents acknowledging the amounts owed for shipments of truffles and truffle-related products and the quality and timeliness of the shipments. He also committed to new payment plans.

Subsequently Rosario refused to stop the unlawful use of the URBANI MARKS; to honor the new payment plans; disavowed the signed acknowledgments of the debts; and refused to be part of the new entity formed to be the exclusive distributor of Urbani products in the United States.

In early March Urbani Tartufi filed suit to stop Rosario's unlawful use of the URBANI MARKS and by early April, Rosario's had not responded to the suit or any settlement overtures.

Faced with Rosario's intransigence, Urbani Tartufi sought to enjoin all of Rosario's unlawful actions. The application for the injunction included the presentation of evidence of the continual use of the URBANI MARKS for more than half of a century in the United States and the presentation of affidavits from witnesses scattered between Pennsylvania and Italy. In approximately one week after Urbani Tartufi went to Court all of the requested injunctive relief was obtained as part of the "Settlement Agreement Constituting the Judgment and Order of the Court." An itemized copy of the Court's Order signed by Judge Allyne R. Ross is available upon request.

Urbani Tartufi's specific financial claim for product shipped and another claim for money lent to Rosario Safina has not been initiated yet. Other claims for product shipped to Rosario's Epicureo, Ltd. are pending in New York federal and state courts.

"I believe the excellent result in the trademark case was a result of the Court holding everyone's feet to the fire," said Urbani's NY lawyer, Raymond S. Fersko. "I assume the same will be required to obtain the money judgments."

"It has been a long and arduous process to get our name back from Rosario's," said Olga Urbani, the Director of URBANI TARTUFI s.n.c.

"It is unfortunate that we had to take this legal action to get back our lawful rights to the use of our proud name, but we are most gratified that we now have those rights and that Rosario's can no longer make any claims to them.

"Rosario's clinging to the URBANI MARKS speaks volumes about the importance of those marks and our family's proud tradition so closely associated with the truffle.

"However, good fortune has now come our way that our American cousin Lee Urbani was available to form with us a new exclusive distributor for the U.S. and Canada. The new company is URBANI TRUFFLES USA LTD. In this regard," said Olga Urbani, "our whole family is extremely gratified and we do feel content."

The new CEO of URBANI TRUFFLES USA LTD., Lee Urbani, has a proven record as a top-level business executive working for many years in international transactions. "For more than 100 years the Urbani name has stood for quality. URBANI TRUFFLES USA, LTD. working hand in hand with our family in Italy, through Urbani Tartufi s.n.c., will continue this grand tradition here in America," said Lee Urbani.

There has been a lawsuit with Urbani, which settled recently. UBNI had to give up all the Urbani trademarks etc., and must have found another truffle supplier.
