glass = very high transparency, lowish diffuse, some reflection depending on situation and angle and the glass itself, and refraction of 1.4 (i think for glass but im not sure), you can do a cheap frosted glass with a bump map and refraction blur user added image.

edit: you need a newer version of maya to do refraction blur with mental ray.

Billydarling,
Recommend that you use a closed shaped (i.e. a cube) to apply the transparent shader to. This should aide refraction when rendering

LauriePriest,
Reading on the toilet is indeed mutlitasking. I encourage everyone to keep a book handy for situation where they'll be waiting or "sitting" around.
