Check out http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/pid_iv_creation for the version on the website. The applet for PID generation using the IVs is available here. Part 2 is in http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45230. The Process of PID and IV Creation of Non-Bred Pokemon 0. Credits Before I even start, I need to give credit to loadingNOW (a.k.a. pika) and yamipoli for providing me with invaluable information regarding this topic. 1. Preliminaries We start by providing preliminary information, without which the reader will have a very hard time understanding this article. 1.1 The Binary System In a computer, numbers are not stored normally, but in a format called binary. The numbers we normally use are said to be in the decimal system. Every number in the decimal system is written as a series of digits, each of which can be one of the following ten: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. In the binary system, the same thing is true, but there are only two possible digits: 0 and 1. Each of these binary digits is called a bit (short for binary digit). For example, the binary number 10001110 has 8 bits. The Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS systems, on which the Pokemon games Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Diamond and Pearl run, are, in effect, small computers, and thus also utilise binary numbers. The Pokemon games, however, have an extra simplification: they always use non-negative whole numbers only. This makes our discussion of binary numbers easier. How do we interpret a binary number? To do this, let's think for a moment about how we interpret decimal numbers. What does the number 635, say, mean? It means a number that has 5 units, 3 tens (= 1 × 10) and 6 hundreds (= 10 × 10) added together. Notice that the value of a digit in the decimal system is ten times as big as that of the digit immediately to the right of it. So the number 635 really means 600 + 30 + 5. The same thing happens in binary, except that the value of a digit in the binary system is twice as big as that of the bit immediately to the right of it, not ten times as big. Let's provide an example. Say we need to interpret the binary number 10001110 as a number in the decimal (i.e. normal) system. We have 0 units, 1 twos (= 1 × 2), 1 fours (= 2 × 2), 1 eights (= 4 × 2), 0 sixteens (= 8 × 2), 0 thirty-twos (= 16 × 2), 0 sixty-fours (= 32 × 2) and 1 one-hundred-and-twenty-eights (= 64 × 2). Thus, the binary number 10001110 is equal to 2 + 4 + 8 + 128 = 142. Another example: let's interpret the 12-bit binary number 101110010101 as a number in decimal. It is equal to 1 units, 0 twos, 1 fours, 0 eights, 1 sixteens, 0 thirty-twos, 0 sixty-fours, 1 one-hundred-and-twenty-eights, 1 two-hundred-and-fifty-sixes (= 128 × 2), 1 five-hundred-and-twelves (= 256 × 2), 0 one-thousand-and-twenty-fours (= 512 × 2) and 1 two-thousand-and-forty-eights (= 1024 × 2). Hence it is equal to 1 + 4 + 16 + 128 + 256 + 512 + 2048 = 2965. 1.2 The Hexadecimal System Binary numbers tend to have quite a large number of digits. A way to write binary numbers in a shorter way is the hexadecimal system. In the hexadecimal system, a binary number is first grouped into groups of four bits each. If the number of bits in the binary number is not divisible by 4, extra 0 bits are added at the start of the binary number so that the number of digits is divisible by 4. Then each group of four bits is replaced by a symbol as follows: Code: 0000 is replaced by 0 0001 is replaced by 1 0010 is replaced by 2 0011 is replaced by 3 0100 is replaced by 4 0101 is replaced by 5 0110 is replaced by 6 0111 is replaced by 7 1000 is replaced by 8 1001 is replaced by 9 1010 is replaced by A 1011 is replaced by B 1100 is replaced by C 1101 is replaced by D 1110 is replaced by E 1111 is replaced by F For example, the binary number 10001110 is written in hexadecimal as 8E. The first 4 bits are 1000, written as 8 in hexadecimal, while the last 4 bits are 1110, written as E. The binary number 101110010101 is written as B95 in hexadecimal (1011 = B, 1001 = 9, 0101 = 5). The binary number 1110000001 has 10 bits. We first add two zeros at the beginning so that it has 12 bits: 001110000001. Then we convert it to hexadecimal as 381 (0011 = 3, 1000 = 8, 0001 = 1). Of course, we can also convert hexadecimal numbers to binary numbers easily by doing the reverse process. For example, the hexadecimal number 5AF7 is equal to 0101101011110111 in binary (5 = 0101, A = 1010, F = 1111, 7 = 0111). From now on, a hexadecimal number will be written surrounded by square brackets [] so as not to possibly confuse it with a decimal number. This is because the hexadecimal number [4680] is a different number from the decimal number 4680. 1.3 What is a PID? Whenever a Pokemon is created in the games, the first thing that is generated is a 32-bit number called a PID (Pokemon IDentification number). This number is sometimes also called the Personality Value of a Pokemon, and is not visible anywhere in the game. It can only be found by looking into the Pokemon save file... or by an applet that will be revealed soon. A lot of information about the Pokemon can be found using just the PID alone. In particular, the nature of a Pokemon is found just from its PID. Where applicable, the gender, ability and Unown letter shape are also found just from the PID of the Pokemon in question. 1.4 The Pokemon Random Number Generator Whenever a random event occurs in the Pokemon games, and indeed in the majority of games, the randomness of the event is not truly random, but is governed by a mathematical formula that generates so-called pseudo-random numbers. When we say pseudo-random, we mean that the numbers generated are not truly random numbers, but are sort-of fake random numbers. There are various methods that can be used to generate pseudo-random numbers. One of the simplest types of random number generators is the class of linear congruential random number generators. Many computer applications adopt this method of random number generation, as, while it is very simple to implement, it produces good random numbers when given particular values. By "good random numbers" we mean that if the numbers were to be listed next to each other, we wouldn't have a clue as to what the next pseudo-random number would be in the list unless we apply the formula. The random number generator (RNG) used in all the Pokemon games from Ruby and Sapphire onwards works as follows. When the game loads, the program assigns a number to a 32-bit variable which we shall call seed. The way this is done varies from game to game (you can read loadingNOW's article for more information). Then, whenever the random number generator is invoked, the following steps are executed: Code: Make seed equal to the last 32 bits of (seed × [41C64E6D] + [6073]) Output first 16 bits of seed as the next pseudo-random number Thus, as you can see, the Pokemon RNG produces pseudo-random 16-bit numbers, i.e. numbers between 0 and 65535 (or between [0000] and [FFFF]). For instance, given the seed [1A56B091], what is the random number that the above RNG outputs? First we need to multiply [1A56B091] by [41C64E6D]. Using a calculator, the answer of this multiplication is [6C469F301DB5BBD]. We now add [6073] to this, becoming [6C469F301DBBC30]. Remember that a computer adds and multiplies numbers only in binary, so multiplying and adding hexadecimal numbers is very easy for it. Windows' own calculator application allows multiplication and addition of hexadecimal numbers to be done easily, if you want to do them yourself. We now make the new seed equal to the last 32 bits of this hexadecimal number, or [01DBBC30] (remember that a hexadecimal digit is 4 bits). The random number produced is thus the first 16 bits of this new seed, or [01DB]. Repeatedly invoking the RNG produces the following list of pseudo-random numbers: [01DB], [7B06], [5233], [E470], [5CC4], [36BB], ... It can be shown that the seed variable will become the same as it was at the start of the program only after the RNG is invoked 4,294,967,296 times. In all those RNG invocations, the variable seed would have become equal to every number between 0 and 4,294,967,295 (or between [00000000] and [FFFFFFFF]) exactly once. This essentially means that the random number sequence won't repeat itself until after that amount of invocations. 2. Pokemon Creation 2.1 How the PID of a Pokemon is created The game creates a PID from two RNG calls. Since each RNG call results in a 16-bit number, appending these two 16-bit numbers together results in a 32-bit number, which becomes the PID of the Pokemon. The second random number becomes the first 16 bits of the PID, and the first random number becomes the second 16 bits. For example, suppose the two random numbers generated were [01DB] and [7B06] as above. Then the PID of the Pokemon would be [7B0601DB], or 2063991259 in decimal. 2.2 How to extract information about the Pokemon from its PID As was said before, a lot of things about a Pokemon can be known from just its PID. Here, we shall mention only three of these: nature, gender and ability. 2.2.1 How to find the nature of a Pokemon from its PID First, convert the PID to decimal as described at the start of the article, and consider only this decimal number's last two digits. If the number having these two digits is greater than 24, subtract 25 from it, and repeat this procedure until it becomes a number between 0 and 24. This number then corresponds to a particular nature according to the following table: Code: Number Nature ----------------- 0 Hardy 1 Lonely 2 Brave 3 Adamant 4 Naughty 5 Bold 6 Docile 7 Relaxed 8 Impish 9 Lax 10 Timid 11 Hasty 12 Serious 13 Jolly 14 Naive 15 Modest 16 Mild 17 Quiet 18 Bashful 19 Rash 20 Calm 21 Gentle 22 Sassy 23 Careful 24 Quirky 2.2.2 How to find the gender of a Pokemon from its PID This only applies to Pokemon that can be either male or female. If a Pokemon is always genderless (for example Staryu), always male (for example Tauros) or always female (for example Chansey), the Pokemon will, of course, always assume that gender. For the other Pokemon, first take the last two digits of the PID in hexadecimal form and convert that number to decimal. This number should be between 0 and 255. As is commonly known, some Pokemon are more probable to be of one gender than another (for example Bulbasaur). There are four gender categories in all, other than the genderless, always male and always female categories: Pokemon that have a 12.5% chance of being female In this case, the Pokemon will be female if the number found above is between 0 and 30 inclusive, otherwise it will be male. Pokemon that have a 25% chance of being female In this case, the Pokemon will be female if the number found above is between 0 and 63 inclusive, otherwise it will be male. Pokemon that have a 50% chance of being female In this case, the Pokemon will be female if the number found above is between 0 and 126 inclusive, otherwise it will be male. Pokemon that have a 75% chance of being female In this case, the Pokemon will be female if the number found above is between 0 and 190 inclusive, otherwise it will be male. 2.2.3 How to find the ability of a Pokemon from its PID This only applies to Pokemon that can have one of two possible abilities. If a Pokemon can have only one ability, then it will have that ability, of course. For the other Pokemon that can have one of two abilities, first convert the PID to binary, and look at the last bit. If it is 0, the Pokemon will have its first possible ability, while if it is 1, it will have the second possible ability. The following table lists all Pokemon having two possible abilities, showing which ability corresponds to 0 and which corresponds to 1 in Diamond and Pearl (thanks yamipoli for providing this chart):

Storm Drain Lumineon Swift Swim Storm Drain 2.3 How the IVs of a Pokemon are created The six IVs of the Pokemon are also created from just two RNG calls. Since each IV consists of 5 bits (because the binary number 11111 is equal to 31 in decimal), the first random number would contain 3 of these IVs (5 × 3 = 15), with one redundant bit, while the second random number would contain the other 3. The IVs would be extracted from the two random numbers as follows: Code: First Random Number: x|xxxxx|xxxxx|xxxxx -|DefIV|AtkIV|HP IV Second Random Number: x|xxxxx|xxxxx|xxxxx -|SpDIV|SpAIV|SpeIV For example, given the subsequent two random numbers [5233] and [E470] as above, we would have: First Random Number = [5233] = 0|10100|10001|10011. Hence, the Defense IV would be 10100 = 20, the Attack IV would be 10001 = 17 and the HP IV would be 10011 = 19. Second Random Number = [E470] = 1|11001|00011|10000. Hence, the Special Defense IV would be 11001 = 25, the Special Attack IV would be 00011 = 3 and the Speed IV would be 10000 = 16. Thus, our Pokemon would have the IVs 19/17/20/3/25/16, written in the usual format of HP IV/Atk IV/Def IV/SpA IV/SpD IV/Spe IV. 2.4 How the RNG is called in the games to generate a Pokemon There are basically three different ways of how the RNG is invoked to produce a Pokemon, depending on the game and the Pokemon: Method 1: Four RNG calls are made, two to generate the PID and two to generate the IVs. It can be illustrated as [PID] [PID] [IVs] [IVs]. Method 2: Five RNG calls are made. The first two are used to generate the PID and the last two are used to generate the IVs. The third RNG call is not used for anything. It can be illustrated as [PID] [PID] [xxxx] [IVs] [IVs]. Method 3: Five RNG calls are made. The first and third are used to generate the PID and the last two are used to generate the IVs. The second RNG call is not used for anything. It can be illustrated as [PID] [xxxx] [PID] [IVs] [IVs]. Methods 2 and 3 are only used in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red and Leaf Green (RSEFRLG) to produce wild Pokemon. All the Pokemon you catch in these games that are not wild Pokemon are created using Method 1. Examples of non-wild Pokemon that you can catch or be given in the game are: Legendary Pokemon Starter Pokemon Eevee in Fire Red and Leaf Green Castform and Beldum in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Method 1 is also used for some RSEFRLG wild Pokemon and for all Diamond and Pearl Pokemon, whether they are wild or not. The criterion for choosing whether to use Method 1, 2 or 3 in the creation of wild Pokemon in Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red and Leaf Green seems to be arbitrary, although it might be related to the terrain where they are situated. To summarise, here are the methods used for each game depending on the Pokemon being caught or given: Code: Game Wild Pokemon Methods Non-wild Pokemon Methods --------------------------------------------------------- RSFRLGE 1, 2 or 3 1 DP 1 1 3. A Complete Example Suppose you meet a wild Tentacool in Emerald. Let's assume that Method 2 is chosen for Tentacool to be generated. Also we assume that the current RNG seed is [560B9CE3]. The game calls the RNG and gets the number [2751]. The game calls the RNG again and gets the number [7E48]. Thus, the PID of this Tentacool is [7E482751]. This hexadecimal number is the 32-bit binary number 01111110010010000010011101010001 which is equal to 2118657873 in decimal. The last two digits of this decimal number are 73. Since this number is greater than 24, we subtract 25 from it. 73 minus 25 is equal to 48. 48 is still greater than 24, so we again subtract 25 from it, becoming 23. Hence this Tentacool would have a Careful nature, since that is the nature that the number 23 corresponds to. The last two digits of the PID in hexadecimal are 51, which is equal to 01010001 in binary, or 81 in decimal. Tentacool has a 50% chance of being female. Since the number 81 is between 0 and 126, this Tentacool would be female. The last digit of the binary representation of the PID is 1. Thus, this Tentacool would have the second possible ability, i.e. Liquid Ooze. The game now calls the RNG for a third time, getting the number [CAB4]. This number is discarded since we're using Method 2 to generate the Pokemon. A fourth call to the RNG yields the number [629C]. This number is equal to 0|11000|10100|11100 in binary. The Defense IV would then be the binary number 11000, which is 24 in decimal, the Attack IV would be 10100, which is 20 in decimal, and the HP IV would be 11100, which is 28 in decimal. A final invocation to the RNG gives us the number [5EE9]. This number is equal to 0|10111|10111|01001 in binary. The Special Defense IV would thus be the binary number 10111, which is 23 in decimal, the Special Attack IV would be 10111, which is 23 in decimal and the Speed IV would be 01001, which is 9 in decimal. To recapitulate, you would have encountered a female Tentacool having a Careful nature, the Liquid Ooze ability and 28/20/24/23/23/9 IVs.
Excellent X-Act, very well done. I cannot say that I know much on PID, as I haven't really taken much notice of it in the past, but from what I see this is very well constructed. Can't wait for the Applet that you say is coming, looking forward to it!
Excellent and well written as usual. However I also noticed something odd and you should probably add that method 1 is used for "some" ruby/sapphire/emerald/firered/leaf green wilds as well, I've got an alakazam and a tentacool that both validate as method 1.
Do you know what conditions affect what method is used to generate the wild Pokemon by different methods?
If I had to guess, I would think it is the terrain it is caught on. Such as the difference between diving, surfing, wild grasses, tall grasses, and fishing. For fishing, all of my pokemon are showing up as method 3, and the tenta was by surfing, the abra/alakazam was by grass.
This is really helpful. But can you explain something? On the PID, what would you need to look for to know if wurmple would evolve into a silcoon or a cascoon? And where on the PID would I look for to know spinda's spots? Bulbapedia explained wurmple, but I couldn't understand. http://www.freewebs.com/gatorshark/Spinda Painter.htm The above generater can determine spinda's spots via hex and DEC, 2 variables I don't know anything bout.Can you explain how the hex and DEC are related to the spinda's PID?
Hex is base 16. Dec is the same number, just in base 10. Hex is what you would use if you were editing the PID directly into the .pkm file, dec is what you would type into the attribute box on pokesav.
Brilliant article, incredible resource. Are you not worried however that this could spell doom for people with real SR'ed legends etc?? As an afterthought could you perhaps edit in a link to pika's article on PRNGs and seeds? Outstanding piece of work though, the Pokemon community has been long in wait of this!
Well, all my RSFRLG Pokemon I checked were all Method 2 or 3. I haven't checked them all, though, and I trust you, so I'll edit my article. :)
X-Act for king of internet. An excellent article, I must say. I have one doubt, though: Doesn't emerald have a glitched RNG, or something like that, that makes you get a lot of the same pokémon while soft-resetting? Will you add more info about it on the article?
From what I understand from lodadingNOW's Emerald RNG Analysis, the only difference would be 1. Emerald always starts with the same seed. 2. Emerald calls the RNG every 1/60 seconds, rather than when only creating a Pokémon. Is this correct, X-Act? So given a certain Trainer ID, the seed will generate the same random numbers after the same amount of time.
The Emerald RNG seeds itself exactly the same way most of the time. However, the pokemon it produces from that seed will, as far as I know, still follow the normal formula for validation.
I also have a question on the seeds. Assuming you know the number last randomly generated by the RNG (in the Tentacool's case, [5EE9]), is it possible to calculate the current seed, thus finding the next set of random numbers? Also, I read somewhere that a Trainer ID can be between 0 and 65535, not unlike the random number output. Supposedly, another number is created alongside it, called a "Secret ID", which is also between 0 and 65535. Since these are two 16-bit numbers, they can be simply placed beside each other to create a 32-bit number, which is the length of a seed. Does Emerald simply use a "fusion" of the Trainer ID and the Secret ID as the starting seed every time? I also remember hearing that most people get IDs in a similar range, due to spending a similar time in the "introduction sequence" where the Professor explains everything, asks for Trainer name, etc. Would this explain why users seem to find the same IV spreads "common" in Emerald, while many others go unnoticed? Or am I just totally off?
Well there had already been a guide up since Aug. 21st elsewhere. It was also planned that an english guide would be released last night. It wasn't released until this morning. But anyways, slowly the information was going to get out anyways. We might as well have a guide from someone that is more qualified to write one. X-Act: Great guide. Glad that you decided to post it. EDIT: Wow, I finally posted something after more than a year of being a member.
No, unless you have further information about the Pokemon. The problem with this is that the Trainer ID and Secret ID are generated at different times in the game. Thus, you cann't map a Trainer ID with a Secret ID. Emerald always starts with the same seed (0). Hence, players have a high chance of getting the same few Trainer IDs if they take roughly the same time to start the game. This only happens in Emerald, though.
Wurmple evolves like this. Look at the PID's last 16 bits, and convert them to decimal. If the last digit of this decimal number is between 0 and 4, Wurmple will evolve into Silcoon, otherwise it will evolve into Cascoon. Example: Say a Wurmple has a PID of [5CF4091C]. The last 16 bits of the PID are [091C], which is equal to 2332 in decimal. Since the last digit of this decimal number is 2, this Wumple would evolve into Silcoon. Spinda's spots work as follows. Suppose a Spinda has PID [5B3E948D]. Consider each of these hexadecimal digits one by one and convert each of them to decimal. Thus, we have 5 = 5, B = 11, 3 = 3, E = 14, 9 = 9, 4 = 4, 8 = 8, D = 13. Thus we construct the following co-ordinates: (5,11), (3,14), (9,4), (8,13). Now Spinda always has 4 spots: two on its face and one on each of its ears. The game would correspond each of the above co-ordinates with the relative position of the centre of the spot next to some kind of starting position (a different starting position for each of the spot) which I don't know about. EDIT: After playing a bit with that Spinda Painter you linked, the first co-ordinate is for the spot on Spinda's face (from its centre to its right in the front sprite), the second co-ordinate is for the spot on Spinda's face (from its left to its centre in the front sprite), the third co-ordinate is for the spot on Spinda's left ear (from its centre to its right in the front sprite) and the fourth co-ordinate is for the spot on Spinda's right ear (from its left to its centre in the front sprite). This article probably won't. But the applet that's going to be revealed soon might. Yes please. Yes. Though I would like to add that the RNG is used for every random decision that happens in the game, not just for Pokemon creation. It's used to see whether a move is a Critical hit or not, whether Stone Edge misses, and even whether or not a person sprite on the screen turns around to look in a different direction! Not quite. As long as you keep soft-resetting, Emerald will generate the same random numbers. It doesn't have anything to do with the Trainer ID.
It's very few, like say, out of three boxes of randoms, only two showed as method 1. More explanation: The game generates your secret id when you first talk to Birch or Rowan. It then generates your ID right before sending you into the world of Pokemon.
Okay, so you would need the full PID to be able to find the seed? Or would this only work for method 1 Pokémon, due to the useless RNG call in methods 2 and 3? Ah, I see. So if Emerald always starts with the same seed, then theoretically, it should be possible to follow the "random" numbers until they created a desirable PID, at whatever time, correct? I say theoretically because 1/60 of a second is going to be awful hard to pinpoint. But it's better than nothing. I was aware that the RNG is also used in battles, though the trainer turning tidbit is interesting! I remember there was earlier speculation that it had to do with Trainer ID, but I guess now that we know that's not the case, it definitely explains the "common" IV spreads.

MILWAUKEE -- Outfielder Carlos Gomez returned to the Brewers' active roster right on schedule on Sunday, after being placed on the 15-day disabled list earlier this month with a left hamstring injury.
Gomez played three games in the outfield and one at designated hitter for Class A Wisconsin while on a rehab assignment, going 2-for-13 with one home run.Upon his return, the 27-year-old outfielder did some work on the basepaths before Sunday's game against the Twins and said he felt good.
"Today, we did some practice like it's the game, like steal bags, slide and come back to first, things like that," Gomez said. "I'm ready to be part of the team again and bring positive stuff." Before injuring the hamstring on May 4 against the Giants, Gomez was hitting .280 with five RBIs and a home run. He comes back to a club searching for a spark on offense, and he said he's ready to help in any way he can. Manager Ron Roenicke said he considered starting Gomez on Sunday in center field, where Milwaukee now has a logjam with Gomez, Nyjer Morgan and Norichika Aoki. "That's going to be a problem," Roenicke said. "But it's not necessarily a bad problem, because they're doing well enough that I want to play them all. Which is good, but it's going to be hard."Brewers discuss moving Hart to first base
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke and other club officials continued to mull Sunday whether right fielder Corey Hart could be a permanent replacement at first base for the injured Mat Gamel.
Hart was drafted as a first baseman, but has not played there regularly since 2002, and before a two-inning stint last week in New York, had not played there at all since 2006. Roenicke and Brewers general manager Doug Melvin planned to meet on Sunday morning about a variety of topics, including the potential of moving Hart back to first base. "We've had the conversations. [Hart] is OK if we do it," Roenicke said. "I don't know if [we're] ready to do that for sure. You look at it both ways: Maybe we're a little better defensively if we do that, but not necessarily offensively. So, what do we need more of?" That's easy. Right now, the Brewers need offense. Still, the matter is up for debate, and Roenicke said there was no desire to bounce Hart between right field and first base. If he moves to first, Hart would stay there at least for the rest of this season. "That doesn't mean he couldn't go back for a game in the outfield, but if we do it, we should plan on doing it for a while," Roenicke said. Such a move would bounce Travis Ishikawa back to a reserve role. Ishikawa has been the primary first baseman since Gamel's injury and is considered a plus-defender.That matters to Melvin, who has argued in recent weeks that first base is a much more difficult position to play than many believe. Plus, Ishikawa was productive in his first 12 starts, batting .333 (13-for-39) with four home runs and 11 RBIs.
A Hart move to first would also complicate Gamel's future. With the departure of longtime first baseman Prince Fielder, this was supposed to be Gamel's big break, but he suffered a season-ending right knee injury on May 1 and will undergo surgery on Tuesday for a torn ACL. His injury means the Brewers will enter the offseason with the same questions about Gamel that existed last winter as Fielder prepared to depart. "We're not out there on a search for a first baseman," Melvin said. "There are a lot of areas on our ballclub that need to get better." One available option is left-handed slugger Adam Lind, who was reportedly placed on outright waivers by the Blue Jays on Friday. But the Brewers are probably not interested, because Lind is batting .186 and slugging .314 this season, and a team that claims him would be on the hook for the rest of his $5 million salary this season, $5 million next season and a $2 million buyout of his $7 million club option for 2014. As for Hart, he said his two-inning refresher on Tuesday against the Mets went well. It helped that it was the final innings of an 8-0 Brewers win. "If it was a close game, I might have panicked a little more than I did," Hart said.Last call
Melvin remains on the search for shortstops in the wake of Alex Gonzalez's season-ending knee injury, but the possibility of adding veteran Edgar Renteria appears a dead end. Melvin recently contacted Renteria's agent and was told that player intends to remain retired.
Second baseman Rickie Weeks was out of the lineup on Sunday, a day after an 0-for-5, four-strikeout game against the Twins that dropped his average to .154. For the first time, Roenicke connected Weeks' ongoing slump to the left hand injury he suffered May 11 when Weeks was hit by a pitch. "The hand still isn't 100 percent," Roenicke said. "He usually is really adamant on telling me, 'No.' But I explained some things to him [about why Sunday was a good day to take a break] ... and he was, 'Hey, you're the manager, if you want to do that, I'm OK.'" Roenicke also opted to give third baseman Aramis Ramirez a rare day off, only Ramirez's second this season. It cost Ramirez at-bats against Twins starter Jason Marquis, against whom Ramirez is 10-for-27 with two home runs. "I have to think more about taking care of the guys to make sure that, physically, they're OK to continue on the long season," Roenicke said. The Brewers released Minor League right-hander Seth Lintz, a second-round Draft pick in 2008. He had a 7.11 ERA over parts of five seasons.Adam McCalvy is a reporter for MLB.com.

Firstly, great script but I have a slight bug... I'm not 100% sure which script I should leave this comment on but there's a bit of incompatibility between your script and googlemonkeyr. I have googlemonkeyr display the search results in two columns but for some reason the first column gets squashed half of the second column is hid underneath what I can only imagine is white space padding from your search sidebar despite there being ample room for both to fit on screen Image Removed Does that look like something you would be able to fix or should I take the query to the googlemonkeyr page? I'm using Firefox 3 on the UK localisation of google by the way. Thanks. |

Nope, don't watch the Bachellor or The Bachelorette. Pretty much the only "reality" TV I watch is DWTS and my guilty-pleasure show, ANTM. (When I remember it's on.) Really, besides DWTS, the only show on one of the major networks I watch is NCIS. So most of the 'reality' stars are blank slates for me.
I just watched it now. Major to Melissa Ethridge. Love her.
I would really like Nicole to go next. She is so grating, whiny and pretentious and not nearly as good as her scores would suggest.
More like another reality show (thanks to E!; although at least she didn't have her children involved with the show)
I too get tired of the seemingly endless parade of reality stars on DWTS. I am aware that they probably cost less than the actors or even athletes at their prime. The show has to have a certain quantity to make it a full season so quality is not always a priority.
However, they seem to miss some opportunities. We've seen the parade of football players trying to dance and even two boxers. Have we seen a baseball player? A soccer player? I won't even get into the ones they have skipped over in the entertainment field.
Honestly, I think the reason is economics more than anything else. We know each "star" is paid a differing amount whether that is the weekly rate or the signing amount. Pam is probably more expensive than Jake for example.
I would still like to see them do a champ season. Past champs could come back with new partners and see who is the best of the supposed best. It would be a way to capitalize on the fame of past winners and let them mug for the camera more.
Yikes! I don't remember that at all, which is probably good for me. Although shows like that may bring a celeb money and attention, they don't usually do much to improve his or her image. They often do just the opposite. I cringe whenever someone I like signs up for something like that.
Oh Pam! NO!
Why can't she get a nice show where she acts like a normal mother in her 40's, instead of a sexpot?
Something like CSI, Law & Order, etc. A good part in a good series.
She can act, people just don't notice it because she is always getting the sexy role on a silly series.
I also wish her a good man after the losers she has had.
Per Anna's twitter, Evan and Anna have the Argentine tango next week.

When the ratings start to go down then the producers will bring out the Dancing With The All-Stars. Can you imagine the following pairs competing against each other: Kristi & Mark, Mel B & Maks, Mario L & Karina, Julianna & Apollo, Jason Taylor & Edyta, Evan & Anna, Lisa Rhena & Louis, Gilles & Cheryl, Mya & Dimitri, Joey & Kim. Now that will be a competition !

If that doesn't work out, maybe we could just bring Gilles back each season?
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
Maks was interviewed on our local radio this morning. You all probably know this, but I didn't and found it interesting. He was on the Olympic reserve team in swimming.
http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/...kate-gosselin/Love her or hate her, Kate Gosselin certainly helped to jack up Dancing with the Stars stellar ratings this season. Now the question is whether her absence could help to bring those numbers down. Last nights telecast provided some indication that viewers are definitely drifting from the dance floor:
Jimmy Fallon joked that DWTS will compensate by next airing a real life train wreck .
They've had a former basketball player, a former tennis player, a female wrestler, a rodeo star, 2 male boxers, a female boxer, an Indy car driver, a martial arts/actor, a ultimate fighting champ, but they seem to focus on the NFL and Olympic athletes as far as sports go. Maybe Beckham would oblige?
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.

DUNEDIN, Florida - This much we know: Sergio Santos, Casey Janssen, Darren Oliver and Esmil Rogers have jobs in the Blue Jays' bullpen. It is reasonable, at this point, to assume Steve Delabar will be a member of the relief corps, too.
In an era when teams typically carry 12 pitchers (five starters, seven relievers) the math is simple. There are five guys, seven if you wish to be generous, battling for the two available bullpen spots. In no particular order they are: Brett Cecil, J.A. Happ, Jeremy Jeffress, Brad Lincoln and Aaron Loup. Owing to your charitable nature, throw in long shots Chad Jenkins and David Bush to further liven the conversation.
General manager Alex Anthopoulos' off-season overhaul of the starting rotation, his acquisitions of Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle in a deal with the Marlins and R.A. Dickey in a trade with the Mets, has the greatest effect on Happ. The 30-year-old went from being a lock for the Blue Jays' starting five to an extra starter/long relief hybrid potentially headed for Triple-A Buffalo.
"In my view I'm a major league starting pitcher so I'm just trying to go about that, build myself up and execute on the mound," said Happ, acquired from Houston last July. "As far as this rotation is concerned, we'll just have to see what happens. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude right now. If we get deeper in to camp here and something changes we'll have to have a conversation then."
Happ and Cecil are vying to be the left-handed long man. Cecil is out of options, meaning he must clear waivers to be sent to the minors. Happ, who re-upped for 2013 at $3.7-million, is controllable - as Anthopoulos likes to say - and will make his salary regardless of where he pitches. Happ could go to Buffalo, start, and remain stretched out for the likelihood of an injury in the rotation. On the surface, it's advantage Cecil to break camp with the Blue Jays.
"I don't take it for granted that I don't have any options left," said Cecil. "There are guys out here who can pitch really well and with this team, they're going to take the best team north and as well they should. They're trying to win a World Series this year."
"The main reason most of us play this game is to compete at the highest level," said Happ of the possibility of starting the season at Triple-A. "If anybody asks me what my favourite thing about playing baseball is the last five years I would say playing against the best competition in the world. That's kind of what makes this thing so fun. That's where I want to be, where I feel like I deserve to be."
Jeremy Jeffress, like Cecil, is out of options. The right-hander was taken by Milwaukee in the first round of the 2006 draft and during his time in the Brewers' organization was twice suspended for marijuana use. Jeffress moved on to the Royals, was designated for assignment in November and acquired by the Blue Jays six days later. What attracts is his arm; Jeffress' fastball routinely hits 96 mph and in 151 career minor league appearances he's averaged 10 strikeouts per nine innings.
"How I play, it's all on me," said Jeffress. "All I can do is just go out there and perform to the best of my ability. I know I've got the stuff to compete and to be a major league player but it's just all putting it together."
Jeffress, 25, believes he's a better pitcher and person for the obstacles - many of his own creation - he's overcome. An excitable personality, similar to the one possessed by Brett Lawrie, Jeffress has promised himself he won't fret over his Blue Jays fate.
"I don't think of that too much because if I do try to think of that too much it'll get me nervous and kind of scared, stuff getting in my head," said Jeffress. "That's not a good thing for me, I need to just focus on one thing and just go after that."
Sergio Santos looked sharp in his first spring appearance, a shutout inning on Sunday against Baltimore. It was Santos' first game action since he shut it down in April, eventually having shoulder surgery in the summer. Pencil him in, careful not to use a pen, to the closer's role for opening day.
Casey Janssen, who converted 22 of 25 save opportunities last season in Santos' absence, is easing his way back from off-season shoulder surgery and hasn't begun to throw off a mound. Mid-March seems the best case scenario for Janssen to appear in a Grapefruit League game.
Lincoln, Jenkins and Loup have options remaining while Bush is a 33-year-old non-roster invitee who played for Gibbons in Toronto in 2005-2006. Back in North America after a season in Korea, Bush could be a valuable depth pitcher for the Blue Jays should he accept a role in the minors to start the season.
- The Twins are sending 13 players to the World Baseball Classic. Along with 1B/DH Justin Morneau, minor league left-hander Andrew Albers (North Battleford, SK) is on Canada's roster.
- The Blue Jays host the Houston Astros, Wednesday, 1:05 ET at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
Here's how the pitching will line up:
Brad Lincoln (starting - 2 innings)Justin Germano (1 inning)Jeremy Jeffress (1)Alex Hinshaw (1)Tommy Hottovy (1)Claudio Vargas (1)Tyson Brummett (1)Mickey Storey (1)
The Astros are the newest members of the American League to compete in the AL West. The franchise spent the first 51 years of its existence in the National League, starting as the Colt .45's (1962-64.)

Review: Optoma's Neo-i iPod/iPhone projector
Pico projectors haven't really taken off like some people thought they would, but Optoma has an interesting new take on the compact projector genre: it's called the Neo-i, and it combines an iPod/iPhone speaker dock with a "tabletop" projector.
Though the Neo-i isn't cheap at $449, its specs are better than your typical pico projector. The Neo-i is a 50 ANSI lumen DLP projector that offers WVGA (854x480 pixels) resolution in 16:9 format, with a "full-bodied" 16-watt stereo system (yes, it's built right into the dock). The Neo-i can also … Read more

Customer Reviews for On Sale Eco-Friendly Kitchen Brown
"exactly what we needed"
By customer
These shades are exactly what we thought they would be and just what we needed. Dark enough to give us privacy but yet you can still see light through them. Also, I messed up on measuring, I was so worried about the width, I missed the length! They sent me a replacement at 1/2 the cost. Great customer service!
View this product"super satisfied"
By the "can do most any from St. Paul, MN
We had existing solar screen roller shades from a different company and needed more. I think this other company prefers larger projects than our small office because they never called back with a quote. Finally I looked online for other options, found Blindsgalore, got some samples, placed my order, installed the shades. We couldn't be happier! They look great! Since they are in different rooms than the other roller shades, no one notices that they are not the same manufacturer. These were very easy to install. My only complaint... that I waited so long to look for other options.

2001Man has always been craving for beauty. He has been decorating his house, furniture, clothes. The basis of these decorations is ornament. But what do we call ornament? Can every decoration be called ornament? This is the topic of our site. We investigate the question from two points of view: one of an artist and the other is of a mathematician. All the photos and drawings are made by the authors. It was an important part of our investigation. Also, we used the Logo programs developed by our friend Mike Sandy from Great Britain to get various examples of wallpaper designs. We think that it would be interesting for visitors not only to learn our work, but to try to build their own ornaments. We hope also that our work will make people to look more attentively at the world around them.

Reference | FprEN 60335-2-39:2012 |
Title | Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-39: Particular requirements for commercial electric multi-purpose cooking pans |
Project Number | 22758 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 60335-2-39:2012 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial multi-purpose cooking pans not intended for household and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances. This standard also deals with pressurized appliances and appliances with pressurized parts. These appliances are used for processing food for commercial consumption, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butcheries, etc. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types of appliances. Attention is drawn to the fact that for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-39 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
- addition to definition of portable appliances, atmospheric multi-purpose cooking and rated pressure;
- deletion of equipotential symbol 5021 of IEC 60417 covered by Part 1;
- addition of instructions for multi-purpose cooking pans;
- modification on leakage current permissible for portable class l appliances;
- addition to abnormal test requirements;
- addition to mechanical hazard test for multi-purpose cooking pans;
- addition of construction test for multi-purpose cooking pans;
- addition to construction requirements for lids and theirs grips;
- addition to construction requirements for positioning of pressure reliefs;
- addition to construction's fixed appliances which are moved forward and backward for cleaning purposes. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication. Keywords: Multi-purpose cooking pans. |

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Arrivederci, Newark.
The home state of Frank Sinatra, Tony Soprano and Frankie Valli is losing its Italian consulate.
The Italian government is shutting down the Newark office to help save money. It's scheduled to close in March. A smaller vice consulate offering limited services will remain open in Trenton.
The news has angered many Italians here, including U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell. He says he's talking to the Italian ambassador to the United States, asking him to look for alternatives to keep the office open.
New Jersey has the nation's fourth-highest number of Italian-Americans and second-most of Italian immigrants.
The Italian Embassy in Washington says the Newark consulate serves 4,000 people a year. It's being closed for administrative reasons amid a worldwide effort to save money at consulates.

Truth #12: Attempts to save trees in the Congo while forcing Americans to pay more for energy
What the bill does: Requires carbon emission allowances to be distributed by the Environmental Protection Agency to countries, public or private groups, or international funds each year for 2012 through 2025. These allowances would be sold to support activities that reduce international deforestation. (H.R. 2454, Sec. 754, p. 830.)
What this means for Americans: Under the Democrats' national energy tax plan, American families would face rising food and fuel costs and an estimated 2.3 to 2.7 million lost jobs, while being forced to send billions of their hard-earned dollars overseas for projects to save trees in countries such as Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Equatorial Guinea. Why save money for struggling families in America when you can save trees around the globe?
