Black Frame Safety Glasses

I know it's awful so far, but I think I have a good idea going...help!


A locker slammed closed, breaking Madeline from her reveille. Looking up, she locked eyes with Minnie Walker. A shiver went down Madeline’s spine. Before she could even say hi, Minnie began screaming at her.
“If you’re bloody mum ever goes out with my dad ever again, I swear to God, Madeline Bennett that I will beat you so hard you will never even see your mum again!” Minnie’s green eyes were fiery behind her black-framed glasses and her lips were curled in a legitimate snarl. Madeline’s face was blank, as were her insides.
“What?” She sputtered. Minnie kicked the locker, causing Madeline to jump.
“You heard me!” She screeched. Madeline backed up for her safety, if not for anything else, and put her arms up in front of, trying to soothe the girl.
“Minnie, I have no idea what you are talking about…” She said slowly.
“That’s a lie!” Minnie took a step closer, seething. “Your bloody mum was at my house last night.”
Madeline’s face remained blank. “Huh?” With another shriek, Minnie kicked another locker. She slid to the ground and jammed her face against her knees. “Minnie…” Madeline began crouching down beside her.
“Go away, you cow.” Madeline doubled backwards, tripping over her own feet.
“Minnie Walker, I have no idea what is the matter with you, but you need to stop being so bloody mean!” And with that, Madeline flew out of the locker room.

“Minnie Walker is a complete jerk.” Madeline whispered to Harriet. “She called me a cow this morning.” Harriet’s freckled face scrunched up.
“How come?” She breathed.
“She said…she said my mum was out with her dad last night.” Harriet squealed. “Shh!”
“Harriet Anderson,” Ms. White warned. The girls giggled and went back to their French assignment.
“Was she really?” Harriet couldn’t contain her excitement, though Madeline knew she was trying.
“I have no idea. Minnie Walker would lie, you know it.” Harriet agreed. “She was livid, though. We’re talking kicking lockers and screaming at the top of her voice. She called me a cow!” Madeline repeated.
Harriet chewed on the end of her braid and thought for a while, so Madeline sighed. It was clear that Harriet only cared that Minnie’s brother was Simon Walker, the soccer megastar who was currently single.
“Well, anyway, I need to figure this out.” Madeline said. Harriet was pulled from her daydream.
“Well, so what if your mum was at the Walker house? And so what if they’re seeing each other?” Madeline inhaled sharply. Ms. White gave them the death stare.
“Harriet, if my mum is dating Minnie Walker’s dad, I think I would crawl into a hole and live there for decades.” Harriet’s smile couldn’t be wiped off. “It’s Minnie Walker!”
“You loved her a few months ago! And think about it – you two would be together an awful lot. And all of her brothers…”
“Simon is off to University in a month, Harriet.” Madeline spat. Harriet’s pale skin flamed red.
“I wasn’t think of him, I was thinking about Minnie and you! You always said you wanted to be close with her…I don’t think you could get closer than sisters!” The bell rang, and Madeline hurried to gather her things.

- "reveille" isn't used correctly

- "Madeline’s face was blank, as were her insides." That's kind of a boring line. If there was some conflict, like her insides were (insert poetic description here), it would make it better.

- "It was clear that Harriet only cared that Minnie’s brother was Simon Walker, the soccer megastar who was currently single. " Maybe word this differently, like, "It was clear that Harriet's mind had drifted to Minnie's brother etc. etc.


These are all just personal preferances (except reveille, you used that wrong), and so far, the story is good. Certainly not rubbish at all.

I recently bought some Oakley M Frame sunglasses with the Persimmon Hybrid Lens, and I think that these lens' aren't dark enough, First question, does anyone have persimmons lens, and how do people like it? It doesn't seem like safety glasses to you?
Secondly, where can I get some vented replacement lens? I want something like black iridium or some, just something thats more of a shade, not just a tint, I looked on the Oakley site, but they were all 70 friggin dollars? Anywhere cheaper? Help!

You can try to look on eBay for replacement lenses.

The Persimmon has 61% light transmission, which would primarily be used in very low-light settings or yes, largely as safety glasses.

If you want what you'd probably consider normal sunglass tint, you probably have to drop below 20% transmission, and down to the 10% range for the strongest tints.

Oakley makes a lot of lenses for a lot of settings, and it's wise to be familiar with them and read up a little before jumping in. The Persimmon is not a "normal" sunglass lens -- if anything it's a lens for rainy days.

My husband is a Marine, currently working in the garrison environment. Well, hes not exactly sure on the order for sunglasses other than:

"5. Articles that may be worn while in uniform include inconspicuous wristwatches and rings. Sunglasses may be worn on leave, liberty, and in garrison but not in formation with troops, unless the need to wear sunglasses has been certified by medical authorities. When authorized for wear in formations, sunglass lenses will be of standard green or dark green shade or may be the type commonly referred to as "photosensitive." Sunglasses that do not have "photosensitive" lenses will not be worn indoors. Eyeglasses/sunglasses, when worn, will be conservative in appearance. Eccentric or conspicuous eyepieces are prohibited. Chains, bands, or ribbons will not be attached to eyeglasses; however, eyeglass restraints are authorized for safety purposes, but must be of conservative style/design."

well he has a pair of Oakleys, and they are brown framed with amber lenses, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing eccentric. But i was wondering if they are able to be worn with the uniform.

Can anyone point us in the right way? Do the frames and lenses have to be black?

You are always safe with black frames and standard-colored lenses. Amber may be a bit too light. Brown frames would be as light as I would be willing to go. Certainly not "any color" as the previous poster wrote (at least not in the Corps).
Your direct command can give better guidance. If he is told he cannot wear them, then he can either just change sunglasses or can appeal that persons ruling. (The article leave room for interpretation. Amber color may be conservative to some/ not to others.) If you posted a link to a pic of his glasses, we might be able to provide better suggestions.

Chapter One

E
arth is slowly, but surely dieing…the earth is dark, cold and completely eroded. The people of this planet are lost and hopelessly optimistic. They cautiously wait for someone, anyone to guide them…save them. There only hope now is the king of Ukaea, Simon. He is touched by the aches of these people and decides to try and find someway to help them. Now Ukaea is a beautiful and lively world, the mystical forests are covered in tall magical trees and carelessly happy nymphs playing by the river banks. The buildings and castles are made of marble and white stone. The biggest castle, which is where the royal family lives, is on a big hill. It is made with pure white stone and is covered in statues and few jewels. There are also little cottages in the villages spaced out thought this world. The mountains are grey with cloud covered tops. The pure perfection of this world is unthinkable. So why would anyone, let alone the king, risk the sanctity and safety of this world to save another?
Although, Simon was a kind-hearted and gentle soul he was very narrow-minded. He didn’t often see things in other perspectives. He always thought that his points were always understood even if they didn’t seem clear at the time. But anyway, Simon shockingly needed advice. He knew he wanted to save Earth, but the question was how? So, Simon decided to call all of the council members to the round table to discuss this matter. The hall leading to the secret quarters of the meeting had black walls and portraits of great fancy. The ceiling was high and had drapes of purple swinging gently from one part of the ceiling to the other. There was also windows that showed the view of the courtyard where the knights were training on there horses. In the room however, there were pieces of amour displayed in glass cases throughout the room. The room had black cinderblock walls and the only light given off was through the small glass doom in the middle of the ceiling. Also in this room happened to be the mildly upset king awaiting the late arrival of the council members. When the councilmen entered through the big, black steal doors there had seen to be chatter among the group. They had seemed to be discussing about the king before they entered. They greeted Simon simultaneously. “Good morning,” they said anxiously. Simon then cleared his throat and stood up from his chair at the head of the table. Not only was the seriousness of Simon’s attitude was intimidating, but strong muscled and tall frame of his body also struck some type of trepidation in the hearts of the councilmen. “I guess you are wondering why I have assembled you here today,” Simon said with gravity in his voice. The councilmen then looked around at each other in agreement. They felt that not only was this meeting unnecessary but obviously a waste of time. Their world was absolutely perfect and was in no type of peril so what was this meeting about was the question they continued to asked in their minds. “I would like to discuss the corruption of Earth. It has accelerated out of control and the genocide of the human race is dawning.” Simon added.

Nathaniel... to be honest it needs a lot of work...... I think you have a good idea and have put a lot of thought into this... but you do need some paragraph breaks, you need to revisit spelling and punctuation rules/grammar usage, etc. Here are some of the things I noticed while skimming over your work.

You see from my previous question about that other book if you've seen it was missing the second book unfortuantly. Remember I'm only in seventh grade so don't get your hopes up for the bestest thing in the entire world. So here is part of the first chapter not done yet and it's kind of long so again brace yourselves...

Skylar Jackson - Secret Runaway

“C’mon Josh I’ve got to show you what I found,” I yell at my friend. Josh comes hesitantly into the forest behind me and says, “Are you sure we should be out here? I mean if we don’t get back to the orphanage by eight we’re going to be in big trouble.” I stop and turn around and ask, “Why are you worried about getting caught? We’ll be fine unless you’re too scared to keep going. Well, are you?” “I’m not afraid I was just concerned about your safety Jenny.” I put my hands on my hips and reply, “Uh-huh, sure…anyway c’mon or we won’t be there in time.”
I turn around and start running the other way with Josh close on my heels. I start running to the heart of the forest straight ahead. My name is Jenny Tanner and I’m twelve years old going to be thirteen tomorrow. My friend Josh is only two days older than me, but he’s a major scared-out-of-my-mind kind of guy, but I like him. He’s about the most daring guy I have ever met, but he really needs a push to get him going. We’re in the seventh grade and we always wanted to be spies so we had other names when we pretend we’re spies on a secret mission.
That’s like what we’re doing now; running away from the villains through the forest to our new secret base in the heart of the woods. We skid to a stop in front of an abandoned house. The roof has ratty old windows and the shingles rustled in the breeze. It’s made of complete wood with dead termites living in the wood. I start walking up to the house with my ratty faded jeans, dirty white shirt, and bare feet in all. Josh follows me with the same attire, but he was able to afford shoes so he had some torn up shoes with holes in them. If I didn’t mention it before then I’m mentioning it now we live in an orphanage in Crowley, Tennessee; we ride horses because our orphanage lady lives on a horse ranch.
There are only ten of us and she has eleven horses so we each have one of our own. Nobody ever comes in so the horses are technically ours. My horses name is Freedom and she is a black pure-breed Arabian with stunning light blue eyes. Anyway, I open the door to the old house and we walk into the open living room. Everything was covered in white except for a door straight ahead. I start running toward the door with Josh yelling, “Hey! Wait for me!” I stop in front of the door and open it; it creaks open and in the center of the room is a glass orb on a table with a skeleton woman dressed in super fancy attire like she was at a ball or something.
A chair is situated right across from her; Josh doesn’t follow me in. Actually the door creeps close like something is going to happen to me. I take a seat across from her and look into her crystal orb and I see me riding on Freedom away from the orphanage, but it’s not me because the girl has long straight white hair flowing in the breeze with electrifying blue eyes. She has a new pair of dark blue jeans and a short sleeved black shirt with black Vans on almost completely blending in with her stallion. She looks completely different from me, but I notice a slight resemblance in her body frame. Her face doesn’t even look like mine; she has a heart shaped face with almond shaped eyes. I have short ratty brown hair with brown eyes which is pretty much half the entire town. By the way it’s a small town. She’s absolutely beautiful, but then I notice people pursuing her from behind, but she’s losing them.
The image is covered with mist and then disappears. I hear someone clear their throat and I look up to see the mummy is now a breathing human being. I just about screamed when she covers my mouth and some kind of green smoke enters my mouth and my features start changing to the female inside the orb. My ragged short boy hair style straitens and grows all the way down to my knees. My bangs cover my entire forehead all the way to the top of my eyebrows. I can feel my eye color change to electrifying blue and my face features swiftly transforming to a soft heart-shaped face with almond eyes.
My clothing already changed and my hair shimmers to the color white; like snow white. I didn’t notice the girl’s nails, but my nails grow to about a ½ inch from my nub and turn blood red. She removes her hand and all my fears disappear. “You are now cursed with a terrible fate until true love’s kiss shall break your slate. You will runaway in fear for your death could be near. Travel the country far and wide to meet a drastic slip and slide. Your dreams will come true in the end for your life depends on certain amends.”
She sits back up and I see her transform back into a mummy. I understood every single word she said. I have a curse th

wow. it's good.
Not all your story came up though :P
