	TWAIN
		TWAIN is an industry wide standard that allows a computer to communicate with a graphic device, such as a scanner or digital camera.
		TWAIN compiancy also comes with a number designation, which simply indicates if the hardware or software meets the CURRENT standards, or if it is an older legacy product.
		On an interesting note, the debate rages on as to whether TWAIN is an acronym for Technology Without An Interesting Name or if the name was lifted from Kipling's "and never the twain shall meet..." refering to the difficulty of connecting PC's and scanners.

		Twain, 11 years later, was even more excited when he steamed out of New York City on a pleasure boat with 65 other passengers: doctors, military personnel and others, who had answered newspaper ads promoting "the great pleasure excursion" to Europe and the Middle East.
		Twain, moreover, voiced his anger at the carelessness and insensitivity he found among the Americans who entered a mosque and "broke specimens from the walls, though they had to touch and step upon the 'praying carpets' to do it...
		Much, regarding Twain's and Melville's travels in the Middle East, remains open to debate, of course, yet each journey must be viewed as a positive experience, Twain returning to America on the verge of immense literary success and Melville, biographers feel, to a healing of sorts despite a growing obscurity.

		Twain "could never quite free himself from reading the Bible with fundamentalist passion," said Twainian Stanley Brodwin, "even as he ridiculed it in the name of reason." Jehovah, Twain calculated, was statistically the biggest mass murderer in history.

	Never the twain by Douglas Lloyd Jenkins \| New Zealand Listener
		All that was left to do was for Twain to build a house, so that she and her husband might get some of the rest she had come to Motatapu for in the first place.
		Yet where Twain goes the media follows and, not wanting to miss out on the exposure, the Queenstown Lakes District Council decided to use the planning process as an opportunity to do a little national grandstanding on planning issues.
		She shifted the house 8m back from a ridge line, made alterations to the roof, removed some chimneys and even promised to mound a big pile of dirt in front of the house – to make what is already a grey house even less visible.

	Never the Twain Shall Meet - New York Times
		Hoffman, a novelist and visiting scholar at Brown University, argues that the jovial, democratic humorist most readers identify as Mark Twain was often just a clown mask for the real-life Clemens, who could be insecure, brooding, even reactionary and racist.
		Mark Twain, the name he first publicly used in a humorous tale of 1863, was everything Clemens could be in his finest moments: funny, brash, expansive, defiant.
		Hoffman demonstrates that Livy was in fact one of the few constants in his life, supportive yet helpfully critical, and a principal architect of the Mark Twain persona.

		Like all people in sitcoms who cannot stand the sight of each other, this loathing is manifested in the form of wisecracks rather than undiluted vitriol.
		Common sense would dictate that the men go their separate ways and never again darken each other's doorstep; a sitcom, however, requires them to remain together and maintain the festering relationship.
		In the early days of Never The Twain, up to series three, this was done by uniting the children of the warring men.

	Mark Twain: "Cradle Skeptic" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Holland never concludes that Twain was a skeptic, a doubter, a deist, but simply that religion was a constant burden to the man and that Clemens's natural piety was not enough to stand up to the late-life personal setbacks and tragedies.
		As Allison Ensor notes, Twain claimed "Even Me" was his favorite hymn when he was courting Livy, and "If ever there was a period of piety in Clemens's life, this was it, as is manifested by any number of letters he wrote to her and others during this time" (21-22).
		Twain told Paine that this was the occasion that set in motion his fascination with that character which resulted in his writing The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc fifty years later.

	SoMA Review - And Never the Twain Shall Meet - John D. Spalding
		As for Independence Day, Twain treated the American Society in London at their Fourth of July dinner in 1899 to the brash observation that “the business aspect of the Fourth of July is not perfect as it stands.
		But to Twain, the fact that most of us have no appreciation whatsoever of the deeper meaning of July 4th is not the issue.
		At heart, Twain, whom William Dean Howells crowned “the Lincoln of our literature,” was an atheist and a cynic, to whom any public display of nationalistic fervor was a danger, not a boon, to a society all too ready to trade individualism in for conformity, critical thinking for platitude, reason for emotion.
