How to render both sides of a surface?

I'm creating a globe with a transparent sea, so that you can see the other side.

Currently when I render it, the texture on the inside of the sphere is not displayed. It's just white.

How can i make it so that Maya renders both the inside and outside of the sphere?

Thanks.

I'm really struggling to recreate the image on that site you linked me to.

When i middle mouse drag the samplerInfo to the blendColours node I can't get it to connect in any way. Same happens if I try to connect the blendColours node to the surfaceShader.

Help?
