- Always an enjoyable eveningLindyhopDined on 11/20/2014We dine at Roberto's for dinner frequently and are never disappointed. The food and service are always consistently good. We had the veal marsala and chicken parmesan on our last visit…both were excellent…the veal is extremely tender! The menu is extensive…many varied entrees to try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServiceEmiliaDDined on 11/2/2014I have been to this and the food is always good and service always BAD. Other people have commented on service being bad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what I'd hoped...funfoodieDined on 11/1/2014This was my second visit to Roberto's -- the first was fabulous. This time, I was disappointed. We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and I wanted everything to be special. The fried ravioli appetizer was horrible -- as if they had reheated it twice in the microwave. The ravioli was dry and tough and the marinara sauce that came with it was cold. Our waiter was just as cold. He was haughty and fairly condescending. Bored might be an accurate term. The caesar salad was drowing in dressing and the bread was cold. I would have expected freshly baked or at least warm bread. Thankfully, the main course made up for the rest. My lobster ravioli was spectacular and my husband's veal vesuvio was exactly what he wanted.Special Features:
- Always pleasedGalenagalVIPDined on 10/31/2014Although we've moved far out of the area, we still think of Roberto's when we're back to visit family. It was quiet for a Friday night, but even when busy, the service is always excellent. Their vodka sauce is the best around and they always offer many new entrees to try. We've dined there as a couple, have taken groups of 10, and each time have left well fed and happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderfully RomanticEweisDined on 10/11/2014My date and I enjoyed a leisurely and romantic evening of dining, some wonderful wine and dancing. The menu offered a marvelous variety of choices and house specialties. Our wine was a treat. We sat in an area near the entertainment which was never too loud and always tasteful. The music added to the ambiance of the restaurant as we made several trips to the dance floor and back for food, drink and conversation. Our server, Angelo, maintained a perfect distance as he was on hand when we needed him, yet apart when we appreciated our quiet moments together. My date had suggested this would be a perfect romantic location and we were not disappointed. We feel like Roberto's will be "our" place in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delizioso!SlainteVIPDined on 10/8/2014My wife and I dined at Roberto's on a recent weekday evening. We like the comfortable atmosphere very much with the wait staff attired in white shirts and black trousers. We sat at a table in the bar area so we could watch the hockey game. Roberto's has a full bar and a very nice, reasonably priced wine menu. We both ordered a seasonal special, butternut squash ravioli. Portions are good and both were excellent. Entrees are served with either soup or salad. We opted for the soup, pasta fagioli, and were not disappointed. For the perfect ending, we split a dish of spumoni. Roberto's has a separate entrance for carry-outs, which appears to do a brisk business. We saw a large table for 10 people; next time, we need to try Roberto's pizza.Special Features:
- Best food!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/1/2014Can't say enough!! Never disappointed. Food was phonominal!! Love the atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'll Be BackMoosewalkerDined on 9/27/2014Table settings good, lighting good, overall cleanliness good, service good, waitress very nice and very attentive. Food very good, especially appreciate the gluten free choices, waitress was very considerate of this! Thank You for another wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice evening.AustinDined on 9/21/2014We had a small family dinner for five which was very nice. Our guests enjoyed their pasta dishes and my fish was excellent. The dining room is comfortable and the service was very good. The restaurant has been a great addition to Elmhurst.Special Features:
- Celebration disappointmentLocaldinerDined on 9/13/2014We chose this neighborhood restaurant because we had small children and knew that we could be in and out fairly quickly. I had asked for a highchair and noted we were celebrating one of the children's birthday's in the reservation but neither were offered and we had to ask. Our waiter was very attentive at first but then soon disappeared and our evening turned into a night trying to locate him to get the birthday desert and which by the time it was received the children were pretty much done with the evening. We had to send the majority of our family home while we waited for the bill which took far too long to get as well. Sadly it was not a pleasant experience however I will say the food was very good.
- Good food, poor serviceLW09Dined on 9/13/2014The food was good (as usual), but the service was notably poor. Both soft drinks and water glasses were all completely empty for probably 20 minutes. Our waiter hadn't even walked by for us to ask him- he seemed to disappear? Did not ask how the food was once it arrived to the table or if we needed anything else.Special Features:
- Food! Glorious Food!SlainteVIPDined on 9/3/2014My wife and I visited on a very pleasant evening and enjoyed dining on the outdoor patio. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes. Entrees come with a choice of soup or salad. My wife enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana and soup of the day. I had a deliciously prepared daily special of three boneless pork chops and a salad. Again, portions are generous. My one criticism, or suggestion, to Roberto's is to offer the option of a caesar salad with entrees. I requested a caesar salad with my entree, which was very good. But our server never mentioned the caesar came only as a $7.95 side, not as a dinner salad. How difficult could it be to make a caesar dinner salad? Just serve it on a smaller plate!Special Features:
- Enjoyable dinner.AustinDined on 8/30/2014Our foursome, which included a seven-year-old, enjoyed the good food and service on this excellent local restaurant.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014The bartender made a perfect Negroni! Food, as always, was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always reliableRegularDinersDined on 8/26/2014Waiter was patient with us as we had business to discuss before eating. Menu variety was adequate. I was able to order off of the menu which i always appreciate, especially in an Italian restaurant. I still like this place.Special Features:
- So-soFinediningDined on 8/23/2014Lived in Elmhurst for 27 years and loved their pizza but not so much the dining room. Seemed if you were a favorite, you were treated better. Our service could have been better. Served salad but not asked about fresh pepper, we had to ask for it. Ordered clams for appetizer and instead of moving things on the table, the waiter slid four on my husbands plate and dropped the other two from the service plate in front of me! We were not asked how we liked our meal. Overall we were not happy about the service and did not think the meal was anything outstanding. Will not go back.Special Features:
- ButchRyderDined on 8/20/2014Recently moved downtown from the suburbs, but we remain big fans of Roberto's for >30 yrs. Food always great and a good, reasonably priced wine list. We've sat outside for our past 2 visits and have had the same server. Unfortunately, he was condescending to my wife for both visits. Also, we had to ask and wait for olive oil, then waited again for graded cheese for our bread. We will visit again soon, but we will make sure we have a different server.Special Features:
- Love it!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/13/2014This place is great! Food is excellent!!! It was just the two of us and had a great experience. So nice to have a great place to go that's close to home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ambience & ServiceEdZsDined on 8/11/2014We celebrated a Birthday dinner with the family on the outside patio. Our server was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChiTownTraderDined on 8/9/2014Our dinners here are Always spot on - waitstaff is excellent, especially Arson!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First "so-so" experience here.OrangeTVIPDined on 8/9/2014Brought friends here who had never been to this neighborhood gem and we got right to our table, which doesn't always happen on a Saturday night. Nice waiter who got us our drinks quickly, but the food order took WAY too long. When we inquired as to what was happening, the nice server said they only had two chefs in that night (assuming it's lower than normal) which was causing the delay. We asked for a round of drinks on the house for the inconvenience. The waiter said the manager chewed HIM out for asking and refused. Not terrible, except for the manager never came to check on us, knowing our frustration. Good food as always, but came out feeling disappointed.Special Features:
- Love RobertosHonestlyDined on 8/9/2014Food is always consistently delicious. Service always courteous, prompt & impeccable. Atmosphere outside, inside and at the bar is unique and perfect. Can bring a family or just have dinner for 2 or drinks with appetizers - great for all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First visitTomODined on 7/26/2014This was me and my wife's first visit and we were very pleased. The décor brought back memories of my family that came from Italy. I loved it. The entree's came out hot, nicely plated and tasted very good. We were welcomed when we walked in by a polite young lady. No complaints, just can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 375 reviews are from the Roberto's Ristorante & Pizzeria reviews archive.
- A 3 1/2 Hour Dining DisappointmentDGMo54Dined on 7/25/2014We've eaten here many times.Loved it.Last night my brothers and wives joined us for a special occasion: we're all celebrating milestone anniversaries.Service: painfully slow.We were ignored after a point.Finally(!) salads - so overdressed, limp, warm that they were inedible.I had ordered a smaller Caesar salad but the kitchen said no to my request.Hmm, ok.Parties nearby had their meals, left, and were replaced by new diners who also got their meals.My uneaten salad still in front of me.We couldn't find our waiter.Food finally came; no apology for the wait.My sis-in-law's "special" was not what she ordered.Spinach, which she hates!My lasagna was terribly salty.And so on.A bad albeit expensive meal.So disappointing!We truly liked this place.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/19/2014Sat on the patio with perfect weather. Food is always great. Large selection of specials, coffee is the best. Too full for dessert!Special Features:
- Great food!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/16/2014We had a great time!!! I was. Nervous when we arrived because it was busy. But it did not affect our service or food!!! Can't wait for another date night there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GoodmealtimeVIPDined on 6/28/2014This is one of our local favorite "go to" restaurants.Special Features:
- EhOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/20/2014We went to this resturant because my husband and myself received a gift card. I don't think I would ever go back. It was not a horrible experience but it was uncomfortable. The server was wacky and made the setting weird. Patting me on the back and telling me I did a good job eating my meal. That's kind of strage to me. The bartenders working were rude and continued to stare at our table the ENTIRE time we were there. Food was not impressive. Nothing I would have to go back to eat.Special Features:
- Birthday dinnerTimVDined on 6/20/2014IT was my son's 11th birthday and our waiter was great as was the food. We will be back for sure.Special Features:
- Great food and ServiceJCSantoroDined on 6/14/2014We frequent Roberto's for both dinner and pizza. This restaurant has never let us down. The food is always fresh and hot; the service is impeccable and the weekend music adds to those looking for a romantic atmosphere and dancing is always an option.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A+PreoliVIPDined on 6/11/2014Food and service were good. We eat at Roberto's at least 3 times per month.Special Features:
- Best Pizza in DuPage Co. & BeyondLiliBooDined on 6/10/2014Elmhurst is lucky to have Roberto's Restaurant; even luckier that they have both a lovely eat in & delivery. THE BEST PIZZA in DuPage County along with other great Italian dishes. The staff is friendly & attentive. We arrived early Monday evening. Decided upon salad & pizza. The waiter said, let me order that immediately since take out & delivery orders are coming in fast already. I thought that the dinning room would not be that busy that early on a Monday, but was only half right. It was quiet when we arrived, but mid way through our shared & delicious chopped salad the place started to fill up. When we left, it was hoppin'. As always the pizza was great. If you've not visited Roberto's you should. Go you'll be happy you did.Special Features:
- Charming neighborhood restaurantJosieDined on 6/7/2014Loved the food, very authentic. Service was great. We sat in the patio which was very nice however we were closest to the sidewalk and there is a little toy train there that every child in the neighborhood had to stop by and climb into, right behind us. That was a little noisy & distracting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food & ServiceMaryrDined on 5/17/2014As always, Roberto's always delivers when it comes to food! Everything is fresh and delicious. Service is wonderful. We were seated right away with our reservations even though it was extremely busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- corkieVIPDined on 5/16/2014This was our second visit to Roberto's in a week. This time we brought friends. Our meals were delicious. We ordered the carpaccio, the stuffed baked figs, and the escargots for appetizers and shared them. We wished we could have had more. Then, our entrees came. The men had pork chops and branzino and polished them off saying they were perfect. My friend had sea bass and I had rigatoni. I was the only one who took home half my entree.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- corkieVIPDined on 5/12/2014What a wonderful surprise finding Roberto's. It was recommended to me by my hairdresser, who is from Calabria, Italy. Going there and reading the menu, I felt that I was at home. When the food came, it was prepared the way my mother made it and the way that I make it. My husband had a veal dish that was delicious and I had spaghetti puttanesca. It was perfect. I also judge Italian restaurants on the cannoli and the one at Roberto's, though lacking the candied fruit that I put in mine, was fresh and delicious. I would go back and I would take friends and family. Probably making the experience so great was our waiter, Angelo. He was the epitome of the perfect waiter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ConsistantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/10/2014I have been going here for many years, although in the past 3 not so much. I am a widow and this was a place my husband and I went at least once a month so it was a little hard for me to go back. I did find the service to be not as quick as in the past, however this was the Saturday night before Mother's day and there were a lot of big parties. I have never had a bad meal here and that is what is most important to me. I took a friend who had never been here before and they very much enjoyed it.Special Features:
- Fantastic!SKDKVIPDined on 4/30/2014This was a fantastic meal - service, food, ambience - all was wonderful. Thank you!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DiningTraderDined on 4/26/2014Have eaten at Roberto's numerous times with my wife and also friends. They have great food, wine selection and the service is impeccable. Looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodBeansDined on 4/26/2014This was our first visit the food was excellent. Saturday night singer was great wonderful atmosphere! We will most definitely be back again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's been about three months since parishioners in Washington lost their church to a fire.
From the day Immaculate Conception Catholic Church burned to the ground, the community has donated more than seventy thousand dollars to replace the 155 year old church.
Along with the donations the church is also hosting a bazarr on Sunday to raise money.
Church members say there will be delicious food for sell, an auction to take part in and music to enjoy.
The event will be held in the parking lot across from where the church use to stand.
The new church is expected to be ready in about 2 years.
So far, a design has been chosen for the new church.

I see the same elements of this show from Arang & the Magistrate (and that was a good drama). I really want to love this drama. And I've known the casts on other dramas and I especially love seeing Jung Il Woo as the lead. But there's no major progress on the storyline so far. Do we have to know more secrets from the past? Is there a twist or something? I thought the King would die any moment soon 'cause he's been going nuts for a long time now. The villain is not even good at being bad, for all we know, we just need that dragon to be alive again or else there won't be any action at all. I've been waiting for our main leads to do something, you've seen too many ghosts and yet no one bothered to ask what do they actually know??? I bet the ghosts have so much to say, but no, they're just walking around then disappearing on thin air. For now I'm giving this show a 3. Hoping it will pick up on the 2nd half.
I don't know about some people here.. but I LOVE THIS DRAMA--the first half was silly but hilarious and cute; while the 2nd half was melodramatic and yet entertaining, too angsty and ridiculous--which is again, entertaining! There are too many great scenes here, and the acting of Aaron Yan is superb! Sure, the first half was definitely where all the fun fluffy moments are, and it started being serious and leaning on the frustrating issues, but that's how I enjoyed this drama even more. It's not entirely rainbows and for me, that's more relatable when you see how crazy or stupid the characters could be for LOVE, GREEDINESS, GUILT OR PAIN... in the end, it should just leave you with lessons learned and maybe more matured judgment on life and people. So yes, I WOULD WATCH THIS DRAMA AGAIN AND EVEN RECOMMEND IT.
So I am currently on a back-to-back drama marathon of this and Fall In Love w/ Me... which is why I am torn on shipping Aaron with Tia or Puff.. ugh.. and I equally love his chemistry with both actresses. Aaron Yan stole my heart on these 2 dramas, I love his many expressions and his hot and cold image.. not to mention he's so good-looking. I'm glad I decided to try taiwanese dramas while watching the recent Kdramas as well. I RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA along with Fall in Love with Me :)

A brief encounter, a giant partnership
The brief encounter of a project coordinator and a factory owner approximately three months ago changed the lives of 600 young people.
New Horizons - This encounter brought together the UNDP Turkey, the Swiss Embassy to Turkey, Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) Regional Development Administration, Governor's Office of Siirt, The Youth Association for Habitat and Agenda 21 and Sancak Arat Denim Textile Company at a press conference on 8 February 2006.
Gozde Avci, Coordinator of the "Reduction of Socio-Economic Differences in Southeast Anatolia" project, which is implemented by UNDP in partnership with GAP Regional Development Administration, and Sezai Hazir, President and Projects General Coordinator of the Youth Association for Habitat and Agenda 21 came across Nihat Sahin, the representative of Sancak Arat Denim Textile Company, at Siirt Chamber of Commerce. Avci and Hazir learned that Sancak Arat Denim Textile Company was willing to set up a factory in Siirt during the encounter and engaged themselves in how to combine their project with the factory plan.
During the meetings held consequently, the parties discussed what they could do about a joint vocational and employment project. Nihat Sahin prepared a vocational training programme while Gozde Avci ensured resources to be allocated from the project she coordinated. Following the preparation of the protocols, a press conference that brought all parties together was held on 8 February 2006 where the protocol was signed and announced to the public.
The project provides vocational training and employment to 600 young men and women
Vocational training programmes will be organised in Siirt from May 2006-December 2007 in order to provide a qualified workforce of overall 600 for the factory of the Sancak Arat Denim Textile Company that will be opened in April 2006. Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation finances the project. The training programme will cover fibre cleaning, machine maintenance, quality control and ironing regarding the textile sector. Young literate people aged 16-30 will benefit from the project and the factory will start hiring workers in groups of 100 as of July 2006. Job applications will be submitted to Siirt Youth Centre. A minimum of 30% of those that will be hired within the context of the project will be women.
Governor's Office of Siirt allocated the Evren Community Centre for the training. GAP Regional Administration will provide the required raw material such as fibre, fabric, machinery spare parts for the training and also assess job applications jointly with the company.
"More entrepreneurs should come to the region to invest"
Speaking at the press conference, Muammer Ozgul, President of the GAP Regional Development Administration emphasized that the project is an asset for the region and summoned investors to the region, which is near cotton-producing areas and also the Middle-Eastern markets. Walter Gyger, the Ambassador of Switzerland to Turkey said that they were proud to partake in the project, and it gave them an opportunity to show their solidarity for the socio-economic development, wealth and peace in the Southeastern Anatolia.
Huseyin Avni Mutlu, Governor of Siirt pointed at the importance of the arrival of more entrepreneurs to the region and said that Siirt needed job opportunities to a great extent. Jakob Simonsen, UNDP Representative in Turkey stated that the project would be implemented with the joint coordination of the private sector, NGOs, municipality, GAP Administration, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the UNDP, and it posed a good example for such partnerships.
Sezai Hazir, President of the Youth Association for Habitat and Agenda 21 said that 8 Youth Houses were opened in the context of the "Reduction of Socio-Economic Differences in Southeast Anatolia" project and 42 thousand young people were participating in the training programmes in diverse areas. He also underlined the fact that the project, which offers employment opportunities to 600 young men and women, was a first in the world. Ulvi Ensari and Nihat Sahin, speaking in the name of Sancak Arat Denim Textile Company, said they were delighted to be a part of such an important project, born out of a brief encounter at the Siirt Chamber of Commerce.

This is the latest in a series of posts by Underwear Expert
Thirty-one-year-old Baskit model Marvin Garcia opens up (not just his pants) to Underwear Expert. Sample exchange:
Underwear Expert: How did you first get involved with modeling for them?
Marvin Garcia: There was a charity event. Every year in San Diego for the kickoff pride party, the charity raises money and there was a fashion show. We were modeling and then Rich [Mackey], the photographer, saw both us liked, liked what he saw and picked us up.
UE: What is it like getting to join your boyfriend in a photo shoot?
MG: Well since I haven't been modeling as much, I learn a lot from him. He's kind of almost like that mentor that I never had. Whenever I'm say doing a solo shoot or he's right next to me, he's always there by my side to guide me. Modeling is boring to me. It never registered in my mind that I would model.
UE: What is the best experience you've had during a photo shoot, with Baskit or anyone else?
MG: I love art, anything that has to do with art, I will definitely jump on it. Nelson got me into it, I never thought that I was actually a model. For me it's kind of like a challenge that I would definitely take on. Because I'd always think of that stigma, like 'oh you have to be tall and big,' but Nelson definitely broke me out of that hole got me out of that stigma.

Efficient and reliable
By Ali M
from Covington, WA, United States
After several months of use, I've found this dryer to be great, no complaints. I especially appreciate the steam refresh feature, which I use often to freshen up and dewrinkle sweaters and other clothes. It has almost eliminated ironing for me.
Great efficient dryer
By jbaechle
from Cleveland, OH, United States
Never had a dryer that dried clothing to quickly. I can do all my laundry in just a few hours!
The Quiet is Wonderful
By Kristils
from Magnolia, Texas
Most pleased with the drying time and pushbutton features. The old dryer had belts going out and screamed with every turn. This dryer is so quiet that we have to go see if it is still running! The steam feature is wonderful for erasing wrinkles.
Duet Washer

love it!!!
By Dnsdodge
from Chambersburg, PA, United States
This is my first high efficiency dryer and I love it. It dries so quickly, I am amazed every time the cycle ends how wrinkle free my clothes are and how the dried in such a short period of time. It has lots of options to choose from. It is very easy to operate. Thank you Whirlpool for striving to make new innovated products.
My new DUET washer and dryer
By MacJulie
from Tampa, FL
Got them about a month ago and just love them! This is my first pair of front loaders and what a world of difference! The washer is so much more efficient and the clothes seem to come out cleaner in less time and water! And, because it wrings the water out so much more efficiently, it takes less time to dry! Good for the environment and good for me!
Great Features
By Mr Big
from TN, United States
Purchased about 3 months ago it preforms great and has many good features you actually use (not like some products that just add useless features that sound good on a paper). All my appliance purchases in the past have been Whirlpool products and they continue to build a good quality and reliable product.

AWS SDK for PHP
The AWS SDK for PHP enables PHP developers to use Amazon Web Services in their PHP code, and build robust applications and software using services like Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Glacier, etc. You can get started in minutes by installing the SDK through Composer or by downloading a single zip or phar file.
- User Guide – For in-depth getting started and usage information
- API Docs – For operations, parameters, responses, and examples
- Blog – Tips & tricks, articles, and announcements
- Sample Project - A quick, sample project to help get you started
- Forum – Ask questions, get help, and give feedback
- Issues – Report issues and submit pull requests (see Apache 2.0 License)
- @awsforphp – Follow us on Twitter
NEW: Watch our video — Mastering the AWS SDK for PHP from AWS re:Invent 2013!
- Provides easy-to-use HTTP clients for all supported AWS services, regions, and authentication protocols.
- Is built for PHP 5.3.3+ and is compliant with PSR-0, PSR-1, and PSR-2.
- Is easy to install through Composer, PEAR, or single download (zip or phar).
- Is built on Guzzle v3, and utilizes many of its features including persistent connections, parallel requests, events and plugins (via Symfony2 EventDispatcher), service descriptions, over-the-wire logging, caching, flexible batching, and request retrying with truncated exponential backoff.
- Provides convenience features including easy response pagination via Iterators, resource Waiters, and simple modelled responses.
- Allows you to sync local directories to Amazon S3 buckets.
- Provides a multipart uploader tool for Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier that can be paused and resumed.
- Provides an Amazon S3 Stream Wrapper, so that you can use PHP's native file handling functions to interact with your S3 buckets and objects like a local filesystem.
- Provides the Amazon DynamoDB Session Handler for easily scaling sessions on a fast, NoSQL database.
- Automatically uses IAM Instance Profile Credentials on configured Amazon EC2 instances.
Getting Started
- Sign up for AWS – Before you begin, you need to sign up for an AWS account and retrieve your AWS credentials.
- Minimum requirements – To run the SDK, your system will need to meet the minimum requirements, including having PHP 5.3.3+ compiled with the cURL extension and cURL 7.16.2+ compiled with OpenSSL and zlib.
- Install the SDK – Using Composer is the recommended way to install the AWS SDK for PHP. The SDK is available
via Packagist under the
aws/aws-sdk-phppackage. Please see the Installation section of the User Guide for more detailed information about installing the SDK through Composer and other means (e.g., Phar, Zip, PEAR).
- Using the SDK – The best way to become familiar with how to use the SDK is to read the User Guide. The Getting Started Guide will help you become familiar with the basic concepts, and there are also specific guides for each of the supported services.
Quick Example
Upload a File to Amazon S3
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Aws\Common\Aws;
use Aws\S3\Exception\S3Exception;
// Instantiate an S3 client
$aws = Aws::factory('/path/to/config.php');
$s3 = $aws->get('s3');
// Upload a publicly accessible file.
// The file size, file type, and MD5 hash are automatically calculated by the SDK
try {
'Bucket' => 'my-bucket',
'Key' => 'my-object',
'Body' => fopen('/path/to/file', 'r'),
'ACL' => 'public-read',
} catch (S3Exception $e) {
echo "There was an error uploading the file.\n";
You can also use the even easier
upload() method, which will automatically do either single or multipart uploads,
as needed.
try {
$s3->upload('my-bucket', 'my-object', fopen('/path/to/file', 'r'), 'public-read');
} catch (S3Exception $e) {
echo "There was an error uploading the file.\n";
More Examples
- Get an object from Amazon S3 and save it to a file
- Upload a large file to Amazon S3 in parts
- Put an item in your Amazon DynamoDB table
- Send a message to your Amazon SQS queue
- Please browse the User Guide and API docs or check out our AWS SDK Development Blog for even more examples.

Happy Holidays, Marlene Dietrich
Published: 12/27/2011
Marlene Dietrich was a Christmas-season baby, born on December 27, 1901. I've got a couple of those in my own family, so I know about the heartbreak that comes with the combined "Christmas and birthday" gift. Here's hoping that the great star of stage and screen never had to double up on her holidays.
Thanks to this lovely holiday montage, we can remember both Christmas and Marlene Dietrich's birthday at the same time. Merry Christmas!
And a Happy New Year!

General news
10 October 2011 11:10
The three finalists in Triumph's Young Guns initiative are Adam Robinson (17), Lee Jackson (16) and Chrissy Rouse (16).
They were the three riders to most impress judges – including Frankie Chili and MCN editor Marc Potter – during a season spent being coached and assessed on their riding skills, fitness, attitude and ability to use a variety of media to further their racing careers. They'll go head to head at Thruxton during the final NG Road Racing event on 15 October, for the chance to bag a factory-supported 675 in next year's Triumph Triple Challenge.
The overall winner of Triumph Young Guns 2011 will be chosen based on their conduct over the year and their performance at Thruxton.
Guy Masters, general manager, Triumph UK, said: "We were absolutely delighted by the number and quality of entries we had to our first Young Guns initiative. The judging day at Silverstone included representatives from MSVR, Triumph, MCN and Triumph Triple Challenge and it took us several hours to review how all of the Young Guns had performed over the year. Selecting the three finalists was not an easy task!
"The judging panel was impressed by the passion and professionalism the ten riders have shown and found it very difficult to choose the final three. We now look forward to Brands Hatch in a couple of weeks to watch how the finalists perform under the pressure of a race weekend."
Tony Scott, Triumph Triple Challenge championship co-ordinator and Young Guns judge said: "This initiative has received a great response from the motorcycle racing community and the calibre of the applicants was outstanding. The judging panel faced an incredibly tough job to whittle the selected ten Triumph Young Guns down to the three finalists. All ten riders have thrown themselves into the scheme working very hard to improve their racing skills both on and off the track. During the last few months every rider has shown an improvement impressing all of the judges with their commitment and drive to succeed."

As more and more stories of human trafficking appear in newspapers and on television, consumers are increasingly asking what they can do to fight this problem. Many are frustrated, and feel disconnected from the people who make the clothes they wear or pick the fruit they eat, toiling in foreign countries and even on distant continents thousands of kilometres from the stores and markets where the products are sold...
The news is worrying. Maryam faces charges of insulting the King, assaulting an official (authorities say there was a scuffle when they took Maryam's phone, from which she was tweeting her experience), and running an organisation which named officials who had tortured political prisoners. She could face a long sentence.
No, it's about protest, torture and death. Sport is just the backdrop. Starting with ... the Brazil Olympics in 2016 (yes, you're probably already counting the days). Given the widespread protests against the Brazil World Cup this summer, I can only suppose that there'll be further demonstrations against the Rio de Janeiro Olympics when they roll into view the year after next.
Not only should James Foley's recorded death be expunged, as much as possible, from social media but other deaths should be too. Masked killers from the Islamic State have uploaded hundreds of videos of their horrific murders. These videos of less well-known victims should also be censored and deleted.
On 11 September 2001 and then on 7 July 2005 our outlook changed. We were struck with a level of fear and vulnerability that allowed principles that we once held dear to suddenly evaporate. In some circles torture suddenly became justified under exceptional circumstances. The war on terror emerged and the rule of law fell away.
For too long the North Korean people have suffered terribly. There are no easy answers, but we are determined that we should not simply see this as "too difficult" and put it to the bottom of what is a very busy foreign affairs in-tray. We must remain resolute in tackling the DPRK's efforts at nuclear development.
The five things you need to know on Thursday 10 July 2014... 1) TO STRIKE OR NOT TO STRIKE? Isn't it odd that the Tories say they support the ri...
Quite contrary to the claims of the ticking bomb acolytes, torture is not something that governments are somehow "denying themselves" in the fight against terrorism or other criminals. Instead, as Amnesty confirms, torture is actually "flourishing" in the modern world. The last thing we need is people coming up with exotic ways to justify it.
This week has seen a flurry of activity around an issue that for far too long has been forgotten, silenced or viewed as an inevitable consequence of war: sexual violence in conflict. All of this is extremely important - but in the rush to 'do something' about the horrific crimes being committed in Syria, Central African Republic, Nigeria, and other conflict zones, we should not forget some basic premises.
In the DRC women are already seen treated as objects, rather than individuals, in the eyes of society. If agents of the state are actively preventing women from empowering themselves and raising their voices to speak out against discrimination, gender-based violence and political sidelining, then the status quo is unlikely to change. If those brave individuals who do speak out against the government, or who speak for under-represented groups, are sexually tortured into submission, then others are not likely to follow in their footsteps.
Sri Lankan human rights activists campaigned hard for an independent international commission of inquiry into war crimes during the end of the conflict in 2009. Last month members of the UN Human Rights Council did finally vote to set up an inquiry. To many governments it looks as if the issue of accountability is now being dealt with by the UN and they can put their minds at rest and move on.
It sounds like a distant planet in a dystopian sci fi movie, and the place itself doesn't disappoint. Welcome to Transnistria, a tiny strip of land measuring less than 15 miles wide. Long linked to organised crime, the government here doesn't take too kindly to journalists, so for a special report with Channel 4 News, we went in undercover.
The future for Bahrain is uncertain. However, one certainty amidst the chaos, is that change is Bahrain will remain a mirage so long as the king is bolstered by so much international support. Let's not beat about the bush, the British government is publicly supporting a oppressive and undemocratic government in Bahrain.

A nonprofit group has submitted a charter school application to the Lafayette Parish School Board to open a career and technical high school in 2015.
The Advocate reports Kingdom Builder Community Development Corp. has proposed a high school for grades 9-12 in Lafayette Parish that provides students the opportunity to earn industry-based certification in high-demand, high-wage fields.
The concept of the school - Kingdom Collegiate Academy of Excellence - appears to be in line with the Louisiana Department of Education's emphasis on "Jump Start," a statewide revamp of career and technical education in high schools.

Comments about Office Star Products Office Star Avenue Six® Vinyl Pacific Arm Chair, Black:
When I saw this chair online i was a little skeptical to purchase it, I was recently at IKEA and saw a chair online that I thought looked nice but once I got there and saw it it looked like a children's chair. But now that it is together in our reception area i love it! It is not too small, not too short, a grown man or a petite woman could sit in it comfortably.

When it comes to renter's insurance, most of us fall into one of three categories. There are the experienced ones who already have it. Then the puzzlers, thinking, "Renter's insurance, why?" And there are the well-meaning but slightly-stressed who say, "Renter's insurance, I've been meaning to check into that."
If you rent, it's always a good idea to think about renter's insurance from time to time, to determine whether you need it and to revisit your policy and make sure it's serving you well.
What it is and what it covers
Renter's insurance covers all the contents of your apartment, from the four-poster bed right down to each pair of jeans. It doesn't cover the building itself. So, for example, if a rainstorm blows water into the apartment and destroys your couch, it's covered by a renter's insurance policy. But if you kick a hole in the door in a fit of anger, it's not covered.
Renter's insurance generally covers the following (though you should get details of any policy you're considering before you sign up):
- damage from smoke or fire
- loss or damage from windstorms, lightning or explosions
- water damage from plumbing leaks
- loss from theft
In areas with special risks like flood or earthquake, some policies will offer an add-on payment to cover you.
Renter's insurance also covers any of your household property -- including your bike but not your car -- that is lost or stolen whether it's in your apartment at the time of loss or theft or not. In other words, if you ride your bike to work, leave your favorite ski jacket at a restaurant and drop your sunglasses on the sidewalk and return to find that all three are gone, your renter's policy will cover you.
Do you need it?
Whether you need renter's insurance depends on what you have in your apartment. If you've just moved into a new place and have only a bunch of hand-me-down dishes and an old easy chair to your name, it probably doesn't make sense to make payments each month to insure it. But if you've accumulated electronic equipment such as a TV, stereo or computer or even a refrigerator, and if you've bought an apartment full of furniture, you might start thinking about insuring against theft or damage.

If you travel a lot and want peace of mind each time you leave town, insurance helps. That way you can rest assured that you're covered in the event of a break-in. And if you work at home and have accumulated a lot of office equipment, you might want to insure it.
A renter's policy will generally cover the contents of your apartment up to whatever dollar amount you decide everything is worth. As with many insurance policies, you're responsible for paying for any losses up to your deductible, then your policy kicks in and pays anything above that.
Bear in mind that individual expensive items will need to be insured separately rather than lumped into your overall policy. If you have a computer worth more than about $5,000 or a piece of jewelry that's worth more than about $1,000, you'll typically have to insure those pieces individually.
- If you have an auto insurance policy with a carrier that offers a renter's policy also, you may be able to get a better deal.
- Always shop around to get the best policy.
- Ask whether you can get a better rate if you live in a safe building with gates and a security door.
- Make a list of what's in your apartment, to make it easier in case you ever have to make a claim.
- Find out whether your policy is for actual cost, which is the amount you paid for each item that's insured, or replacement cost, which is the amount it costs to replace each item
