“The Güreis”, a group of children who ironically are not all Güreis.

From left to right: Lucky, the vengeful Catsian; Lorrie, a half Gürei half human; Lily, an special Gürei; and Jay, the blind Catsian half Drákonir.

After getting “saved” by William DuHund, they decided to live happily, even though they would end up on another wolf’s mouth shortly.

Eileen Ryan, actor and mother of Sean, Chris and Michael Penn, dies at 94

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/eileen-ryan-actor-and-mother-of-sean-chris-and-michael-penn-dies-at-94/

Eileen Ryan, actor and mother of Sean, Chris and Michael Penn, dies at 94

Eileen Ryan, the actor and mother of composer Michael Penn and actors Sean Penn and Chris Penn, died at her home on Oct. 9. She was 94.

Ryan’s acting work included portraying Sean and Chris’ grandmother in 1986’s “At Close Range,” as well as appearing in 1995’s “The Crossing Guard,” directed and written by Sean.

Ryan was born on Oct. 16, 1927, in New York, the daughter of nurse Rose Isabel and dentist Amerigo Giuseppe Annucci. In 1957, Ryan met director and actor Leo Penn at rehearsals for the play “Iceman Cometh.” They married a few months later, and remained together for 41 years until Leo’s death in 1998.

During her screen career, which spanned nearly six decades, Ryan guest starred on series such as “Goodyear Playhouse,” “Studio One,” “The Detectives,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Outlaws,” “Bonanza,” “Matlock,” “NYPD Blue” and “Men of a Certain Age.”

In addition to “At Close Range” and “The Crossing Guard,” Ryan’s other notable film credits include “Winter People,” “Judgement in Berlin,” “Parenthood,” “Magnolia,” “The Pledge,” “Anywhere but Here,” “The Assassination of Richard Nixon,” “All the King’s Men,” “Feast,” “A Shape of Error,” “I Am Sam” and “The Indian Runner.” Her last film appearance was in the 2016 romantic dramedy “Rules Don’t Apply” starring Lily Collins, Alden Ehrenreich, Annette Bening, Taissa Farmiga, Martin Sheen and Warren Beatty, who also wrote and directed the film.

On Broadway, she portrayed Evie in “Sing Till Tomorrow” in 1953 and Lorraine in “Comes a Day” in 1958.

Michael paid tribute to Ryan on Twitter, sharing a photo of her along with a broken heart emoji.

The Recent Role of Separate Opinions

Why have we seen so many concurrences and dissents in the Supreme Court in recent years? Aside from disagreements, statistics help convey that these are attempts to shift the law in different directions

In a 2015 article for the Washington Post reviewing Melvin Urofsky’s book Dissent and the Supreme Court, the David Cole wrote, “What determines a great dissent…is not necessarily the power of the argument but the shifting tides of history…History, not rhetoric or cogency, determines whether a dissent wins out in the long run. Yet by articulating a compelling alternative legal vision, a persuasive…

When There Are Nine

"When I'm sometimes asked 'When will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court]?' and I say 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that." --Ruth Bader Ginsburg

In honor of her memory and that famous quotation, here are nine Supreme Court opinions RBG wrote that you should know:

United States v. Virginia, 518 U.S. 515, 532 (1996) (majority opinion). This case held that segregating men and women without a compelling reason violates the Equal Protection Clause, even when the separate facilities are comparable. Notable quotation: “the Court has repeatedly recognized that neither federal nor state government acts compatibly with the equal protection principle when a law or official policy denies to women, simply because they are women, full citizenship stature—equal opportunity to aspire, achieve, participate in and contribute to society based on their individual talents and capacities.”

Bush v. Gore, 31 U.S. 98, 135-36 (2000) (dissenting opinion). This, of course, is the infamous case that handed George W. Bush the presidency, from which RBG dissented. Notable quotation: “I might join The Chief Justice were it my commission to interpret Florida law. But disagreement with the Florida court’s interpretation of its own State’s law does not warrant the conclusion that the justices of that court have legislated. There is no cause here to believe that the members of Florida’s high court have done less than “their mortal best to discharge their oath of office,” Sumner v. Mata, 449 U.S. 539, 549 (1981), and no cause to upset their reasoned interpretation of Florida law.”

Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306, 344 (2003) (concurring opinion). This case upheld universities’ use of affirmative action policies, as long as they also utilize individual factors for each applicant. Notable quotation: “It is well documented that conscious and unconscious race bias, even rank discrimination based on race, remain alive in our land, impeding realization of our highest values and ideals.”

Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 550 U.S. 618 (2007) (dissenting opinion). This case’s holding, from which RBG dissented, that employers cannot be sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 over race or gender pay discrimination if the claims are based on decisions made by the employer 180 days ago or more, was undone by the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Notable quotation: “The problem of concealed pay discrimination is particularly acute where the disparity arises not because the female employee is flatly denied a raise but because male counterparts are given larger raises. Having received a pay increase, the female employee is unlikely to discern at once  that  she  has  experienced  an  adverse  employment decision. She may have little reason even to suspect discrimination until a pattern develops incrementally and she ultimately becomes aware of the disparity. Even if an employee suspects that the reason for a comparatively low raise is not performance but sex (or another protected ground), the amount involved may seem too small, or the employer’s intent too ambiguous, to make the issue immediately actionable—or winnable.”

Safford Unified School District v. Redding, 557 U.S. 364 (2009) (dissenting opinion). This case held that school officials strip searching a middle school student violated the Fourth Amendment. RBG dissented on the question of qualified immunity for the school officials. Notable quotation: “A search ordered by a school official, even if "justified at its inception," crosses the constitutional boundary if it becomes “excessively intrusive in light of the age and sex of the student and the nature of the infraction."”

Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. 529 (2013) (dissenting opinion). This case gutted the historic Voting Rights Act, from which RBG dissented. Notable quotation: “Volumes of evidence supported Congress’ de-termination that the prospect of retrogression was real. Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 573 U.S. 682 (2014) (dissenting opinion). This case held, from which RBG dissented, that closely-held for profit corporations can be exempt from regulations based on the owners’ religious objections under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Notable quotation: “Until this litigation, no decision of this Court recognized a for-profit corporation's qualification for a religious exemption from a generally applicable law, whether under the Free Exercise Clause or RFRA. The absence of such precedent is just what one would expect, for the exercise of religion is characteristic of natural persons, not artificial legal entities.”

Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, 579 U.S. ___ (2016) (concurring opinion). The Court held that Texas cannot place restrictions on the delivery of abortion services that create an undue burden for women seeking an abortion. Notable quotation: “Many medical procedures, including childbirth, are far more dangerous to patients, yet are not subject to ambulatory surgical-center or hospital admitting-privileges requirements. ... Given those realities, it is beyond rational belief that H.B. 2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law 'would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions.' ... When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners.”

Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania, 591 U. S. ____ (2020) (dissenting opinion). The Court held that the exemption from the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate can be expanded, from which RBG dissented. Notable quotation: “Destructive of the Women's Health Amendment, this Court leaves women workers to fend for themselves, to seek contraceptive coverage from sources other than their employer's insurer, and, absent another available source of funding, to pay for contraceptive services out of their own pockets.”

[escapekissed]

@serapime she’d been quiet for a long while: knees pulled up to her chest, bird - boned, chewing on a hangnail on her left ring finger. like that would do anything except open a wound. angeal had done enough of that on his own. she sat up a little more, looking to him, right at him, and sighed. then, a bit petulant: “you may not want to change, but the world is unforgiving and will do it for you anyway.”

There’s a certain madness to it, Angeal knows. The more time he spends with her and tries to help her---the more he picks at her, not like Genesis does, not all fire and brimstone and passion but instead, a dull ache where the bulletholes in his heart are, over and over, a shinra tank that fires straight ahead and just as its supposed to. 

Nobody told him so much time in SOLDIER was spent waiting in the mud, watching bombs go off the distance, seeing familiar logos looming over head like the GoodYear balloon over the stadium’s favorite football team. 

If he’s quiet enough, if he’s delusional enough, he can pretend the screams of the drop are celebratory Fourth Of July touchdown fireworks. (I’m going to Disneyland!) And the screams of the people... well, that might just be an early echo of the cheers from home after the terrorist’s hideout is taken care of, shaken down, so that they can chase him down after he escapes from his compound into the terrain on the outskirts where they’re hiding. 

The president will make a speech when they find them, and everyone watching on the big screens in the slums will stand on both work-weary feet and clap and cheer for the heroes of democracy, safe, sound, exhausted, but brave to be alive, brave to fight every day. 

(Once again, he thinks, I’m going to Disneyland, if Disneyland is Lily and Genesis’s arms wrapped around his eyes and his thick muscled thighs, covering his mouth to keep himself from ranting more discipline at them both as if they’re still on the field. His mind is always here. His boots are always muddy. He always stinks of sweat and his hair is always matted down with the it like a glue he can’t wash off. No shower keeps his hair from the grease of nightmares and guilt, sticking skin to hair and hands to gloves and body to uniform, always. Naked and wet, he still feels enclosed.)

“The world is unforgiving. That’s why we fight... for our dreams, and our honor. To protect the people that matter to us.”

Who is that, anymore? The jeering crowds? The innocents they kill? Democracy? No. It’s just Genesis, and Lily, and the rest of the kids that came here. He’ll fight to stop them from opening their eyes, from seeing the truth instead of a beautiful lie. Here is the Hall of Presidents, where you can rest your tired feet in air condition instead of humid flesh-smelling smog, and listen to the beautiful history of this country, every brave slaveowner and warmonging capitalist fascist. This part here? Covered in mud and your own sweat and tears? It’s just the Haunted Mansion, it’s all part of the adventure. You fight to be a hero. You fight to be a hero. You fight to be a hero. He says it, over and over again, programmed so well he can almost feel the synthetic skin of his lips move over the imagineering within.

“I don’t think I could change if I tried.”

This was a 90-minute special on ABC TV. It was  taped August 9 to August 12 in Los Angeles. It featured clips from show’s from television’s past.  

Zenith was co-founded in 1918 by Ralph Matthews and Karl Hassel as Chicago Radio Labs. The name "Zenith" came from ZN'th, a contraction of its founders' ham radio call sign, 9ZN. The Zenith Radio Company was formally incorporated in 1923. LG Electronics acquired a controlling share of Zenith in 1995, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary in 1999. Zenith was the inventor of subscription television and the modern remote control, and the first to develop High-definition television (HDTV) in North America.

In his diaries, singer Perry Como mentions jetting to Las Vegas to appear on the show, but he is not in the cast nor is he mentioned as an honoree.

The next night, Monday, September 11, on CBS, “Here’s Lucy” presented its fifth season premiere “Lucy’s Big Break” (HL S5;E1). 

“Here’s Lucy’s” lead-in was the 18th season premiere of “Gunsmoke” starring James Arness.  

“Gunsmoke’s” competition on NBC was “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” which that night started its sixth season with guest star John Wayne. This is very ironic, considering that this Zenith special features a promo that John Wayne did for “Gunsmoke” when it first premiered in 1955!  

This was a busy night for television, with the series premiere of “The Rookies” (1972-76) on ABC.  At 10pm CBS also presented the premiere of “The New Bill Cosby Show,” which lasted just one season. 

The show begins with a boy named John Joyce (played by uncredited actors of various ages) who grew up watching television.

After the opening credits, Florence Henderson performs the seven-minute opening number “How Sweet It Was,” surrounded by dancers. The original song was written by Jack Elliott, Bob Wells and John Bradford. In a section devoted to children's shows, the dancers perform “The Mickey Mouse Club” theme, dressed in mouse ears and sweaters with names on them.

Robert Young (”Marcus Welby”) takes the stage to explain that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is also 25 years old and will be honoring a select group of people and programs who have made an impact, had popularity, proved longevity, and demonstrated substance. The recognition award is a silver medallion on a plaque.

A montage of clips from news footage of the Berlin Airlift, the Israeli War, the first Political Convention on TV, and the Kefauver Hearings, and the McCarthy Hearings, follows.

Young pays tribute to television's early comedians with clips of such comics as Jimmy Durante, Martin and Lewis, “The Honeymooners,” and and ending with clips from “Texaco Star Theatre” starring Milton Berle wearing various outrageous costumes.Berle is the first recipient of the medallion. He enters to thank the audience and briefly talk about his type of comedy. Berle claims to have done 641 hours of live television!

Berle closes by introducing a clip from “Your Show of Shows” starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca as figures on a Bavarian clock. Caesar takes the stage to thank the Academy for the medallion. His remarks are humble and brief.

After a commercial for Zenith Super Chromacolor, there is a tribute to TV dramas with a montage of clips from anthology shows like “The Alcoa Hour,” “Dupont Show of the Week,” “Westinghouse Studio One,” “The U.S. Steel Hour,” “Playhouse 90,” “Hallmark Hall of Fame,” “Goodyear Playhouse,” “Producer's Showcase,” and “Net Playhouse.”  The clips feature actors like Robert Preston, Andy Griffith, Jackie Gleason, and Paul Newman.

George C. Scott enters to talk about the contributions of “The Hallmark Hall of Fame.” Clips from the show feature actors like Charlton Heston, Peter Ustinov, George C. Scott, and Dame Judith Anderson, who accepts a medallion on behalf of the show.

A salute to TV Westerns begins with a stylized Old West town with a handsome stranger (George Chakiris), riding into town on a white horse. Entering the saloon, he plays cards with a man in black, listens to Lily the dance hall girl, and then gets into a shoot out where (naturally) he is the only one left standing.  

After the sketch, John Wayne introduces clips from westerns like “The Lone Ranger,” “Cheyenne, ” “Bonanza,” and “Gunsmoke.” James Arness, who played Marshall Dillon on “Gunsmoke,” joins Wayne onstage to receive a medallion on behalf of the show. 

Lorne Greene then accepts a medallion on behalf of “Bonanza.”

A salute to TV crime dramas begins with a stylized city street with a handsome stranger (George Chakiris again), riding into town in a white sports car. The scenario deliberately mirrors the previous one for westerns. Entering the bar, he listens to Sally the burlesque dancer, and gets into a shoot out with a man in black where (naturally) he is the only one left standing. 

After the sketch, Efrem Zimalist Jr. (“The F.B.I.”) introduces some ‘fast moving scenes’ from crime shows like “Hawaii Five-O” and (oddly) “Batman.” Zimbalist pays tribute to Jack Webb and the series “Dragnet.”  Accepting the medallion on behalf of Webb is Los Angeles Police Commissioner Edward M. Davis.

Dave Garroway (“Today”) tells us that there are 121 recipients of the silver anniversary medallion, and that there is no way a 90-minute program can adequately pay tribute them all. Behind him is a scroll of names and clips from the honorees, including Lucille Ball and “The Desilu Playhouse.” Interestingly, for the sake of continuity, all the clips are in black and white, even if a show was aired in color.

Oops! The list of honorees mis-spells “Captain Kangaroo” as “Captain Kangeroo.”

The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, talk about television, although Tom has trouble not mentioning its many flaws, despite Dick's attempt to keep things positive.

Harry Reasoner talks about television news and tributes Edward R. Murrow. Clips consist of Murrow interviewing such figures as Castro, Marilyn Monroe, and John F. Kennedy. Murrow died in 1965, so his brother Dewey Murrow accepts the medallion on his behalf.

Leading off a tribute to music on television is presented in the style of “Your Hit Parade”:

#5 - “Shrimp Boats” sung by Eileen Wilson. It was written in 1951 by Paul Mason Howard and Paul Weston.

#3 - “(Why Did I Tell You I Was Going To) Shanghai” sung by Russell Arms. It was written in 1951 by Bob Hilliard and Milton De Lugg.

Extra - “Love is Sweeping the Country” performed by the Hit Parade Dancers. It was written by George and Ira Gershwin for the 1931 musical Of Thee I Sing.

#2 - “(How Much is That) Doggie in the Window?” sung by Giselle MacKenzie (above). It was written by Bob Merrill in 1952.

#1 - “This Ole House” sung by Snooky Lanson. It was written by Stuart Hamblen in 1954.

Curiously, there is no #4, perhaps for time limitations or because there are only four alumni of “Your Hit Parade” in the show. 

Closing the section, the group sings “So Long for a While,” the closing song of “Your Hit Parade” written by Hy Zaret. 

Jimmy Durante enters at the end of the sequence to tribute Music and Variety on television. It begins with a montage that features Steve Allen, Liberace, Durante, Edgar Bergen, and Dinah Shore, who is the next honoree. Dinah talks about her work on “The Chevy Show.”

Dinah Shore: “We were live and our main motivation was fear!”

Shore then tributes the late Nat King Cole, and introduces Maria Cole, his widow. “The Nat King Cole Show” (1956) was the first television show starring a black man.

Durante returns and sings “September Song” by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson for the 1938 musical Knickerbocker Holiday.

After a commercial, Rod Serling (“The Twilight Zone”) presents a medallion to 'Mr. Sunday Night' Ed Sullivan. Clips from “Toast of the Town” (aka “The Ed Sullivan Show”) feature Julie Andrews, the Beatles, Rocky Marciano, and President Eisenhower.

When Ed Sullivan enters to accept his medallion, it is apparent that he is not on the same stage with Serling, but has been inserted into the shot using special effects. When Serling hands him the award, the camera switches to a close-up to avoid the transfer. 

Serling also presents medallions to Lucille Ball and Bob Hope. A brief montage of clips from “I Love Lucy” and various Bob Hope specials follows. It includes scenes from “The Audition” (ILL S1;E6), “The Operetta” (ILL S2;E5), “Lucy Meets Harpo Marx” (ILL S4;E28). Interestingly, there are no clips of the two performing together.

Once again, it is apparent that Serling is not on the same stage as Lucy and Bob, despite the fact that they address him as if he were there standing beside him. This time there is no special effect to imply they are together. Hope calls him the “spooky writer” and Lucy refers to Serling's voice on “headache commercials.” Hope and Ball exchange some friendly banter based on their age:

Lucy: “I just love watching 'The Late, Late Show'. Where else could I be 25 for 25 years?" Bob: “On your reruns. You know I'm kidding, Lucy. You're the most beautiful woman in Hollywood and you have been for many years.” Lucy: “That's quite a compliment considering you started as a stuntman for Francis X. Bushman.”

The show closes with the singers and dancers reprising “How Sweet It Was” and Robert Young returning to sum up television's progress and promise for the future. This time the clips behind him are in color. A montage of 'good nights' from various television shows plays under the credits.

An Empathetic Judge And Her Cause

By Christopher Alhorn, The University of Alabama in Huntsville Class of 2021

September 22, 2020

As the country mourns the passing of the famous Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, it is important to remember how Ginsburg’s approach to the law made her beloved by many people. Many do not agree with Ginsburg’s jurisprudence, but no one can deny that Ginsburg both shaped the formation of current law and demonstrated a capacity for solid reasoning wholly deserving of praise. While much of this is understood, one aspect of the Ginsburg’s career, her constant concern for individuals, is not as well publicized. This is a story that highlights that aspect of Ginsburg’s life.

At the start of her case, few thought that Lilly Ledbetter’s name was destined to go down in history. To some people, Ledbetter may not have seemed to be an extraordinary person. She was one of many Americans fed up with her job. Ledbetter had worked for Goodyear Tire for nineteen years. In that time, she had frequently received lower raises compared to her fellow male employees. She had also routinely received low performance and salary reviews1. Nearing the end of her career, Ledbetter was working as a manager, but was making substantially less than every male manager at the company2.Ledbetter believed the reason she had been given the low salary and poor reviews during her nearly two decades was because Goodyear Tire was discriminating against women. Angry and determined to make the company change its practices, she filed a lawsuit in 1999.

Many saw Ledbetter’s case as clear-cut discrimination, but an aspect of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 complicated her case. While Ledbetter argued that she had suffered discrimination throughout her time at Goodyear, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 said employers could only be sued for discrimination occurring within one hundred eighty days of the time a lawsuit was filed1.This fact made Ledbetter’s lawsuit difficult.When the Supreme Court ruled on the case on May 29, 2007, Ledbetter’s attempt came up short. She lost in a 5-4 vote3. However, something usual happened after the case was decided.

Ledbetter may have lost her case, but her attempt won her an advocate and a single force to be reckoned with, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg found the court’s decision outrageous. Having served on the court for fourteen years, Ginsburg was an extremely able and experienced writer. In a pointed dissent, Ginsburg blasted the ruling, which she saw as unfair and beneath the Supreme Court. Ginsburg argued discrimination occurring over a career is still discrimination and altogether unacceptable. She further implied the other justices (all of whom were male at the time) did not understand or did not care about what Ginsburg saw as the difficulty women faced in pay discrimination.Finally, Ginsburg directly implied Congress had to take action to correct the issue1. In a unique and very rare action, Ginsburg read her opinion from the bench. This was her way of demonstrating her utter disgust with the majority opinion. It was reported during Ginsburg’s reading of her dissent, everyone in the courtroom sat in rapt attention2.The case and Ginsburg’s unrelentingly pointed dissent caught the attention of the entire nation. The twenty-page dissent helped make the time frame to sue for pay discrimination into a national political issue.

Almost two years after Ginsburg issued her fiery dissent, Ledbetter’s cause was enshrined by Congress and signed by President Obama into law. The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 allowed people who believed they had suffered discrimination three hundred days to file their lawsuit after the discriminatory conduct occurred. Ginsburg’s advocacy had paid off in a significant way4. Ginsburg was so thrilled by the new law that she framed and hung a copy of it in her chambers2. Ginsburg’s support meant so much to Lilly Ledbetter that she has said in the wake of Ginsburg’s passing that Ginsburg, “Changed lives that will always be changed simply because of her and her reputation and fight for the law and equal justice”2 (pg. 3).

While some disagree with Ginsburg’s scathing dissent in Ledbetter, there is no denying one aspect of Ginsburg’s jurisprudence that this case highlights. Throughout her career, Ginsburg consistently empathized with people when she was ruling on a case. Her work has received an enormous amount of both praise and criticism, but the fact that Ginsburg cared about numerous people in cases she ruled on is beyond dispute. Her championing Ledbetter’s cause is undoubtedly part of the reason it received national attention and eventually changed the law. Many people like Ledbetter remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as an empathetic justice who took up causes she believed were worth fighting for.

Fat

My nutritionist told me my weight on Monday.

172

I’m fat.

I’m a fucking failure. She promised she would not let me get fat. Well Linda, guess what. I’m the goddamn Goodyear Blimp aren’t I?

I watched “To The Bone” the other day. I need to watch it again. Lily Collins is my muse. I need to be disciplined. I need to focus. I need to stop believing my nutritionist.

20 Amazing Houseplants for Your New Home in Scottsdale

  When you buy a new home for sale in Scottsdale, one of the first things you’ll want to do is make it feel like your own – and the best way to do that is to bring a little of the outdoors inside. In addition to giving off natural mood-boosting benefits, having houseplants helps clean the air and can add some serious decorative style to your space. Check out these 20 amazing houseplants for your new home in Scottsdale to see which ones speak to you.

20 Amazing Houseplants for Your New Home in Scottsdale

These are some of the most forgiving – and attractive – houseplants you can add to your space.

Chinese Evergreen

    Asparagus Fern

  Guiana Chestnut

  Chinese Money Plant

  Yucca

  African Violet

  Spider Plant

    Peace Lily

Aloe

  Dragon Tree

Calathea

  Rubber Plant

Bromeliad

  Jade Plant

Phalaeonopsis Orchid

  Philodendron

  Christmas Cactus

  Mother-in-Law’s Tongue

Cast-Iron Plant

ZZ Plant

  Here’s a closer look at each – and what you need to do to care for them.

Chinese Evergreen

Chinese Evergreen can dry out quickly, but it’s really forgiving if you over-water. It comes in a wide range of varieties that each look a bit different from the last, which means it’s an excellent houseplant.

Asparagus Fern

The Asparagus fern is hardy, and it can adapt to thrive in bright or dim light. As long as you keep its soil moist, this fern will be an excellent addition to your house.

Guiana Chestnut

Guiana Chestnut is often called a “money tree,” but you won’t get any greenbacks from it. Instead, you’ll enjoy its braided trunk as you place it in a spot that gets plenty of bright, indirect light (and water it often, because these grow in swamps).

Chinese Money Plant

Like the money tree, this one is barren when it comes to cold, hard cash… but the Chinese Money Plant is also called the “pancake plant” (no dice there, either) and it prefers the shade and a good, weekly watering.

Yucca

We have plenty of yucca outdoors, but it makes a great indoor plant, too. Yucca doesn’t need much water, but what it does need is plenty of sun and a deep container so it doesn’t tip over when it grows tall.

African Violet

African violet is a flowering bloom that will surprise you with pops of color several times during the year. It likes bright but indirect sunlight and moist soil with good drainage (and piña coladas, and taking walks in the rain).

Spider Plant

Fast-growing spider plants thrive in bright light with a once-a-week watering, though you may have to spritz its leaves a couple times a week thanks to our dry climate. These green-and-white plants are perfect for corner tables near windows.

Peace Lily

Peace lily plants are easy to care for and can really tolerate over-watering. If the leaves start to turn brown, scale back your trips to the sink – but other than that, they’re fine in nearly any light conditions and will treat you to beautiful white flowers when they’re healthy.

Aloe

Spiky and fun to look at, aloe plants are a handy household item – you can break the stems for a soothing balm after a sunburn. These plants do well in indirect light and with weekly or bi-weekly watering.

Dragon Tree

The dragon tree (don’t get your hopes up – we let you down on the Chinese Money Plant and the Money Tree, remember?) loves low light conditions, so it does well in dim corners. Just be careful with this one; it’s toxic to household pets.

Calathea

Calathea produces gorgeous pink, purple, green and red leaves. It doesn’t like a lot of direct sunlight or too much water, but it’s a sturdy little plant that requires minimal care.

Rubber Plant

Ornamental rubber plants have wide, flat leaves with a waxy shine. You’ll have to prune yours, but keep it in indirect light and water it once a week and it’ll do exceptionally well inside your home.

Bromeliad

Tough and long-lasting, bromeliads love household temperatures – they do best at around 70 degrees. You’ll want to protect it from cold drafts and water it weekly so it can stay healthy all year.

Jade Plant

Jade plants are succulents, so they’re easy for people without green thumbs. If you forget to water it, it’ll simply go dormant – but if you over-water it, you could cause root rot.

Phalaeonopsis Orchid

The phalaeonopsis orchid is a low-light, beautifully flowering plant – but you’ll have to make sure to water it at least once a week and spritz it down in between waterings. They normally grow in humid areas, so they need a little extra TLC in Arizona.

Philodendron

There are hundreds of varieties of philodendron, each a little different from its cousins – but they do like to be on the dry side, which means too much water will send it downhill. They like low light conditions, too, so they’re perfect for cozy rooms without too much sunlight pouring in.

Christmas Cactus

Christmas cactus (also called Thanksgiving cactus in some botany circles) produce white, pink, purple or red flowers. They don’t need tons of water, so they’re really easy to care for – even if you occasionally forget that they’re there.

Mother-in-Law’s Tongue

Mother-in-Law’s tongue isn’t sharp, but the leaves are tall, stiff and vertical – and it’s sometimes called the “snake plant.” They can last up to a month without water.

Cast-Iron Plant

The cast-iron plant is as sturdy as you’d expect it to be. It does just fine in low light, poor soil and questionable watering schedules. It can also thrive in a wide range of temperatures, and its leaves can grow up to 2 feet high.

ZZ Plant

This plant is Tops. Seriously – it’s practically indestructible. It can survive low light, low humidity and drought, which means it’s perfect for keeping indoors.
