  Opaline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The opalines are a small group of peculiar protists, found as endosymbionts in the gut of frogs and toads.
Opalines were at one point considered possible ancestors of the ciliates, but the similarity between the two appears to be convergent evolution.
They are now considered close relatives of the proteromonad flagellates, and the two are included among the heterokonts, though opalines may lack the tripartite hairs that are characteristic of that group.

The Opaline Gourami is also known as the Marbled Gourami, and is a color variation of the Blue Gourami.
Opaline Gouramis are considered Labyrinth Fish, meaning they breathe directly from the air and must have access to the surface of the tank.
The Opaline Gourami is compatible with a variety of tank mates that are of similar size and temperament.

 The Opaline Factor
The significance of the roughly triangular clear area on the folded wing of the Opaline budgerigar is that it indicates that the diagonal clear area on each feather is larger than in the Normal and that the underwing stripe is correspondingly wider and more prominently displayed.
The opaline gene appears to operate at the colour distribution level, where it seems that the genetic code ‘knows’ that body colour is produced by the combined presence of both the cloudy layer and background melanin and arranges that they be transferred or ‘activated’ in tandem.
This essential difference between the Opaline budgerigar and the forms of the other species is recognised by Jim Hayward and is the basis for his view that these other forms are not opaline.

 Opaline Gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus, Family: Osphronemidae, Subfamily: Luciocephalinae
The difference in the Opaline Gourami is the lack of the three spots and less blue coloration.
The Opaline Gourami, like the Three-spot Gourami is generally considered a good community fish when small, but they are not as peaceful as the other gouramis.
Since the Opaline Gouramis, like the Three-spot Gouramis, are omnivores, these fish will generally eat all kinds of live, fresh, and flake foods.

 The Opaline Mutation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The opaline mutation changes where the colors are located on the birds in a predictable but new pattern.
Opaline mutations also exist in other birds, but this particular opaline mutation is especially interesting because it's the first found in a non-Australian bird.
A year later, a naming committee of the ALBS awarded them the name opaline (we had been calling them "Roseheads" or "Rosies" up until that point.) By then, there were breeders in several locations working with the birds, ensuring the survival of a very beautiful and very unusual variety of lovebird.

Opaline Lovebirds: We are peachfaced lovebird breeders of Opaline Peachface Lovebirds.
The Opaline Peachfaced Lovebirds are a rare breed that have the Opaline color mutation.
Immature Opalines are often distinguishable from normal colored Peachfaced in the nest due to thicker, more plush down, and based on color as soon as 18-21 days of age or earlier.

 Agate
In the formation of an ordinary agate, it is probable that waters containing silica in solution--derived, perhaps, from the decomposition of some of the silicates in the lava itself--percolated through the rock, and deposited a siliceous coating on the interior of the vapour-vesicles.
It sometimes happens that horizontal deposits, or strata usually opaline in character, are formed on the floor of a cavity after the walls have been lined with successive layers of chalcedony.
Many agates are hollow, since deposition has not proceeded far enough to fill the cavity, and in such cases the last deposit commonly consists of quartz, often amethystine, having the apices of the crystals directed towards the free space, so as to form a crystal-lined cavity or geode.

 Dishwalla - Opaline - immergent/5.1 Entertainment
"Opaline" feels very much like the sound of a band finding their identity, coming into their own at a time when so many other groups churn through the pop grinder and fail to maintain their relevance.
With a slightly Middle Eastern flavor and fluid percussion, "Opaline" is unique on the album and is still haunting my brain's short-term song buffer.
Also included is an Easter egg demo track of "Opaline" (44/16 PCM 2.0) - just navigate left from the "Opaline" selection in the playlist to highlight the statue's eye.

 The nature of the Opaline Locus by Terry Martin
Firstly, yellow ground colour is never displaced by the opaline allele, body colour is increased at the expense of foreground melanin not ground colour.
In fact the opaline locus may be one that is slightly altered in each species to contribute to the uniqueness of a species, yet be a common gene through ancestry.
Although the opaline locus is probably in exactly the same position in the six species having an Opaline form it does not necessarily follow that the alleles, either the opaline or the normal wild-type, occupying that locus are identical in each species.

 The Opaline   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
When an Opaline hen is mated to any coloured cock and Opaline chicks appear in the nest it is a definite sign that the cock bird is "split" for Opaline although this may not have been realised by the breeder.
The Opaline character operates quite independently to any other colour characters that may be carried by the breeding pair.
The question of colour and pattern with Opalines is to my mind extremely important and from what I have seen over the past few years not enough attention has been paid to these attributes.

 The nature of the Opaline Locus (an update) by Terry Martin
Since my original article on the opaline locus, I have been fortunate in being able to collect further information on the Opaline Turquoisine Parrot, as well as some new information about possible new opaline alleles in other species.
There is reduced distribution of melanin pigments, with the loss originating in the middle of feathers, leaving a crescent of melanin at the top of the feather.
We now have four possible new opaline mutations, yet all these new alleles lack one of our identifying markers, the retention and enhancement of white underwing stripes.

Getting two birds who were only possible split for Opaline was very exciting but obviously the goal was to breed that elusive Opaline.
The down on an Opaline baby is a bright yellow but these birds were also carrying Orange Face which is also bright yellow and led to a couple of false starts.
With many combinations of this color now being bred I believe this to be one of the best mutations possible as it can be combined with everything we already have and adds more options as well as beauty to the wonderful world of lovebirds.

JR Richards has probably the best voice in rock and on Opaline he continues to show this throughout the album.
The only reason I did not give th ealbum 5 stars is becuase it appears Dishwalla is going in the more mellow direction and have thrown one too many ballads on the collection.

 DVD-Audio Review: Dishwalla - ‘Opaline’
Given the rather depressive themes of the album — addiction, tragedy and obsession — ‘Opaline’ is in no way a depressive or oppressive experience, quite the contrary in fact.
Artistically, ‘Opaline’ is a fantastic album, full of emotion, great song-writing and musical performances, especially from J.R. Richards (although it seems unfair to single out just one person for special praise).
As a DVD-Audio disc, ‘Opaline’ falls some way short of the mark, largely because of the lacklustre fidelity and ultra-conservative surround mix.
