Quote from The 53/15 comes from printing I believe. Each sheet has 121 cards, which allows 2x each rare (106) plus 1x each mythic (15) for a total of 121. This is also where the 1/8 ratio in packs comes from. Origins had a different number because the dual-face mythics had to be printed on a special sheet, thus 55 rares + 11 mythics remained for the normal sheet. How does this work out in the small sets?
35 rares and 10 mythics on a 121 card sheet? I'm not certain.
I may be back with a solution if it comes to me, but nothing simple works for the numbers. Edit: Quick search found this: Looks like a small set has one sheet with the 10 mythics x3 plus 15 of the rares x6 and a filler than a second sheet with 20 of the rares x6 plus a filler. This also results in the 1/8 ratio (30 mythics from 240 total between the sheets). Quote from The 53/15 comes from printing I believe.

So 100 cases of a large set will have 20 fewer mythics than 100 cases of a small set. Near Mint: The same as Slightly Played, but we threw some Altoids in the box we stored it in to cover up the scent of dead mice.
Slightly Played: The base condition for all MTG cards. This card looks OK, but there’s one minor annoying ding in it that will always irritate and distract you whenever you draw it. Moderately Played: This card looks like it survived the Tet Offensive tucked inside the waistband of GI underwear. It may smell like it, too. Heavily Played: This card looks like the remains of Mohammed Atta’s passport after 9/11. It may be playable if you double-sleeve it to stop the chunks from falling out.

So 100 cases of a large set will have 20 fewer mythics than 100 cases of a small set. Filler cards are removed before they're put into packs. So no, it's always one mythic per eight packs on average. The large sets do not use filler cards which results in the slightly lower ratio. So it is 15 mythics per 121 cards vs 30 mythics per 240. A large set has 15/121 compared to a small set has 15/120.

You're right. Although the ratio of mythics:rares is the same in both cases; it's 2:1. So for any given number of packs, each mythic card will always be twice as rare as each rare card, regardless of set size. EDIT: The above sentence sounds strange.
Although each mythic is twice as rare as each rare, there is a slightly different ratio of total rares to total mythics, so you are 'less likely' to pull a mythic as opposed to a rare, despite the ratio of mythics:rares being fixed.

Following the trend set by 1996's, Amos allowed several songs from the album to be remixed.

Thematically and conceptually, the 'choirgirl hotel' of the title refers to the fictional, imaginary place where the songs 'live'.
Amos pointed out that although the songs are recorded, they are also alive themselves - they can be re-modeled and reshaped in concert. Amos imagined the songs as living their own lives, all checking into the 'choirgirl hotel' (i.e. The album) but living separate lives. In the artwork, Amos included a hand-drawn map detailing the stomping ground of these songs. The album artwork was created by the UK-based photographer,.

From the Choirgirl Hotel offers chewy tales like the tough sway of 'Playboy Mommy,' in which a mother never quite apologizes to her dead daughter for not being a squeaky-clean Carol Brady mom; and 'Black-Dove (January),' an interiorized ballad about abuse and escape that breaks into rousing choruses of 'But I have to get to Texas/Said I have to get to Texas.' What the album is so unfailingly good at, though, is capturing the exact geography of one woman's imagination. In dashing rhythmic interpolations, a song titled 'Iieee' intercuts different meters and moods — suspended piano landscapes, straightforward rock 4/4 beats, gnarled industrial wastelands and a floating symphonic soundtrack from a film that has opened only in Amos' head. Free download microsoft works 2010. 'We scream in cathedrals,' Amos sings, phrasing with an awesome gravitational pull. 'Why can't it be beautiful?' What the hell is rock & roll these days, anyway?
Loud guitars? Transgressive hairstyles?
Electric beats? Platform shoes? At any given time, it's all or none of these things.
But right now, From the Choirgirl Hotel qualifies. It's a logical outcome of what Tori Amos has been doing this whole decade: In more ways than one, she screams in cathedrals.
