form: edenic
pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: Of or suggesting Eden, the paradise of the Bible.
pos: adj
examples: Thus, when Paul and Billy turn to the Edenic archetype, one must not view this as an acceptance of the "truth" of the Judeo-Christian tradition from which this myth is borrowed.
To the extent that an abstract Edenic landscape crowds out the teenage rubber tapper in a faded World Cup T-shirt, the stinging smoke of factories in a treeless city ringed by forest, or the lone plant sprouting in the cracks of a sunbaked roof, it impoverishes our vision of Amazonia, as well as of a larger natural world that demands not just to be respected but, first of all, to be rethought.
Our understanding of the Edenic motif in American fiction stems largely from its articulation by three primary critics — R.W.B. Lewis, Leslie Fiedler, and D. H. Lawrence.
But we need not try to re-create these circumstances, any more than the Sabbath celebration of an Edenic world means that celebrants must go naked and picnic in a garden; we need only make it a happy and special meal.
The world Burden inhabits with her husband, James (she has changed his name here, but apparently not much else), is one of Edenic privilege. They live in multimillion-dollar homes in New York and on Martha’s Vineyard, belong to private clubs, have keys to private beaches, kids in private schools.
gloss: One who promotes an Edenic ideal.
pos: noun
examples: Then there are the Edenics, who exclude all cooked food; the Wallacites, who abhor salt and refuse bread containing yeast; the Haigites, who do not include peas or beans in their vegetarianism; and the Allinsonians, who abandoned tea in favor of a solution of dried cereals.
The Edenics wrote historical novels that place the belle in an antebellum setting, perpetuate the notion that she is an ideal woman, and, most important, present her as a symbol for the lost Garden of the antebellum South.
Let all that have an ear hear and all that have an eye see, the Edenic will not be denied!

Image and PDF files should not be gzipped because they are already compressed. Trying to gzip them not only wastes CPU resources, it can also potentially increase file sizes.
Therefore, using the YUI Compressor in combination with gzipping always gives the best results.
