Mercedes Sunglasses

I just got some new Oakley prescription sunglasses with what they call an "Ice Blue Iridium" tint. I've noticed while driving that certain auto windshields (Mercedes and Chevy Tahoe) have a distinct purple tint when I'm wearing the glasses. All other car windshields look the same. Very curious as to what is causing this.

polarization is a way of filtering out all light except for the light that oscilates in a certain direction. Light from the sun oscilates in all directions, but when it is reflected from a surface, it tends to oscillate very heavily in a single direction, which makes it amenable to filtering by polarlized lenses. Sub glasses are therefore designed to minimize glare from reflected surfaces. Some model cars also have polarized windshields for exactly the same reason - to minimize glare from sunlight bouncing off surfaces - like the hoods of other cars. If you look through two polarized lenses, if the polarization of the two is parallel then most light passes through - but if they are perpendicular, then most light is blocked. You are seeing light from the inside of a car that is passing through two polarized layers - that of the windshield and that of your glasses, and it is likely that the relative angle of alingment of the polarization between the two is somewhere between 0 and 90 degrees.

Here is something to try - next time you see a display of polarized sunglasses - hold one pair before your eyes - rotate the subglasses - and look at all the other polarized subglasses on the rack as you do so - you'll be amazed to see how all the glasses on the rack turn from clear to opaque as you rotate the pair in your hand

Premium Meets Premium Rodenstock and Mercedes-Benz are treading common ground Munich, December 2010 -- During the course of an exclusive launch ...

Singer George Michael has arrived at court to be sentenced for driving while unfit.


The star has admitted the offence, claiming he was guilty due to "tiredness and prescribed drugs".

He arrived at Brent Magistrates' Court in north London wearing a dark suit and sunglasses to hear what his sentence will be.

At an earlier hearing, the court heard that Michael, 43, had a cocktail of drugs in his system including GHB and cannabis.

He was found slumped at the wheel of his Mercedes in Cricklewood, north London, on October 1 last year.

Prosecutors told the court that tests showed a therapeutic quantity of an anti-depressant in the singer's system as well as illegal dance club drug GHB - a class C substance - but Michael's defence counsel said GHB could be present in the blood without any illegal substances having been taken.
To those among you who are going to his concert on Sunday night - I would suggest you boycott it! He has committed a crime and should not be supported! He deserves a heavy prison sentence with no favours! Unfortunately he will probably end up with a paltry fine! One law for the rich and one for the poor!
100 Hours Community Service For Shamed Pop Star
(Friday June 08, 2007 12:50 AM)

Pop star George Michael has been sentenced to 100 hours community service after he admitted driving under the influence of drugs. The 43-year-old pop star was also banned from driving for two years.

Speaking after the case, Michael said he was glad to put it behind him and accepted "full responsibility" for his actions.

He told reporters: "I am glad to put this behind me and now I'm off to do the biggest show of my life."

The sentence was handed down the day before the singer is due to play the first concert at the new Wembley stadium.

Michael had pleaded guilty to drug-driving at Brent Magistrates' Court last month.

The singer was arrested in Cricklewood, north London, after motorists reported a car obstructing the road at traffic lights.

He was found slumped at the wheel of his Mercedes with a cocktail of legal and illegal drugs in his system.
The former Wham! star, whose birth name is George Panayiotou, pleaded guilty "due to tiredness and prescription drugs".

He told the court: "I was ashamed I had done something really wrong in putting other people at risk."

His lawyer, Brian Spiro, said: "He now fully accepts to have got into the car on that occasion, given his tiredness, given the medication he had been given was the wrong, improper thing to do."

Since his guilty plea, Michael has admitted an addiction to prescription drugs during a TV interview with Michael Parkinson.

He also told the presenter he believed the world would be a better place if more people smoked marijuana.

The outspoken star is currently on a European and UK tour which includes Saturday's concert at Wembley.
THE ABOVE REPORT SAYS IT ALL - a driving ban will not harm him as he no doubt has a full-time chauffeur! 100 hours community service - he will be followed by the press and this will become a media circus!

He should have been imprisoned and his concert cancelled - how many people lose their jobs through criminal activities? This sentence just proves the point - the more you are in the public limelight the more you can escape justice!

I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH OUR LEGAL SYSTEM!

100hrs community sentence, that's really going to make him change his ways. Instead they should have taken all the profits from his Wembley concert, that would have made him think twice next time.

I dont know why they laugh i mean i dont brag or anything just becasue i have louis vuittons, chanel, and gucci and prada handbags and sunglasses and my mom drives a mercedes and my dad drives a cadillac and i live in a million dollar house not bragging here or anything but i just dont get why they make fun of me i mean most of the time the rich girls at school are the most popular

Ignore them, don't buy the expensive stuff it makes you look like you ARE showing off and just be nice. Buy quality stuff without the expensive "flash trash" and spend your money wisely and not just spend it to get something fancy or buy friends. Maybe even try sending some of that extra money to organizations like Compassion or Samaritans Purse where they can keep people from starving. God put you in a place where you have money and it is what you do with your life and money you will answer for someday. Just look at the "flash trash" like Paris Hilton, she has become a laughing stock of the world and acts like a complete imbecile with her money, she will probably die young and poor someday.

Some people will always be jealous or envy others and Gucci and prada is just giving them a reason. Pick your friends based on who you like and who likes you not who likes your money and your stuff.
