Object not visible in render? I've spent hours searching the internet trying to solve this problem.

I have a green ball in my scene which is emitting particles. Ball is visible everywhere but the render, I have render icon in outliner turned on, duplication in object settings set to None, I've tried changing materials and moving it between layers but nothing works.
Try going in the Properties Tab>Particle system>Render and make sure the "Show emitter is turned on"
