REALIZED

[exo]

Just a theory, and probably not a great one;
-“Realized” as in “realized full size potential” or “fully grown”
-Red Bourbon fully realized is 33 lbs
-some WWII naval cannons had a 4x4” barrel
-specifically the mark 50 mod 12s
-that canon also shot 33 lb “pointy” shells with a trail of flame that resemble feathers
-There is one of these original cannons prominently displayed In St Paul Mn at the veterans affairs building from the USS ward
-Fun history- this USS ward sunk a Japanese sub at pearl harbor just before the full on attack, and was later sunk by kamikaze. The gun displayed was salvaged from the original ship

Good idea, but the problem (as I see it) with a cannon is that he said "It leads to an actual plot of land somewhere in the United States that is four inches by four inches."

So we're looking for a 4" x 4" square of land. I don't see how a cannon barrel can be considered a plot of land. True, the cannon may be resting on a plot of land, but even if the barrel is 4 x 4, that wouldn't make the land it rests on 4 x 4.

Great point! Well... if we ever find a canon in the ground barrel first we will know we are in business!

He keeps saying that one of the definitions of 'realized' is the key to the whole thing. I've read all the defs in the online dictionary and nothing jumps out at me. Does anyone still have an actually book dictionary at home? Is there a definition in it that maybe the online sites are missing?

[jewelie]

The only definition I found that actually led me anywhere was if "realized" means "famous" or "discovered". For example, my true talents were realized after I found the treasure. The most famous turkey is Tom the Turkey in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I sent in a submission for a flag along the route, but I never even got a "no" response, so I must have been way off.

Interesting. I tried googling famous turkeys and saw Tom, but didn't think of something along the route. I like the 'famous' definition though.. I went down the path of realized meaning 'to make real' and was trying to find some kind of patent museum that might have a square devoted to a patent for a dart or arrow or something. But the only invention museum I found was for scientific inventions only. I also researched tombstones of famous voice actors, hoping for a tiny little grave marker for a cartoon turkey. I keep thinking of grave markers.

Looking back at the website, 

www.learningstrategies.com/BreakfastTeaAndBourbon

it was updated to show that the importance on "realized" is in the definition, not a keyword in a code or some other hidden message. I hope this helps someone!

Realized can mean DONE or has been converted to profit.

The fiirst two and lasr two letters of BOURBON RED are BORE ONE D (DONE)

It was prevuiosly discussed the possibility od an arrow, which can bore in 1-D.

So im guessing that a realized turkey (sold and cooked) cant fly, or per common conception, a fully grown turkey cant fly. So what bird or other object flies as well as a turkey?

Iim looking at two things

1) the clues mention of Nelson Ware, and Where am I ( I am Ware ). The anagram of Nelson Ware is New Orleans
2) an ear or corn has a pointy head and feathery tail, and flies about as well as a turkey. Red corn is used to make red bourbon, and becomes realized. There is more to this, but still working it.

Not sure i agree about the corn. Each piece of silk is attached to a kernel, and they all stick out at the same end as the opening. So the pointy side and the ‘feathery’ side are the same side.

Thats likely true.  I was thinking of it with stalk attached but that might be stretching it.

Hi, I'm new to this group. 

Realized means actual, like a statue. 

The fifth state is Connecticut. 

A topographic map of Connecticut shows a point on the upper right-hand side and a lot of rivers that look like feathers at the bottom/bottom left. 

Google "Turkey statue Connecticut" and it comes up with a statue of the first turkey that Abe Lincoln pardoned. 

A massive effort could refer to the massive statue of Abe Lincoln in DC. 

So my guess was the 4x4 picture of Abe Lincoln on that statue in Connecticut. 

I haven't heard back but that was my reasoning on Realized.

The breed standard indicates the Bourbon Red should weigh 10.4 kilograms (23 pounds) for toms and 6.3 kilograms (14 pounds) for hens at slaughter age (28 weeks). These standard weights were published with anticipation of the potential of the Bourbon Red and when the breed was at its prime. Though there are efforts to restore and accomplish the Bourbon Red standard, today these weights are realized by few breeders and growers. Bourbon Reds have been unrefined for too long due to the lack of selective breeding to preserve the breed. However, mature turkeys in a breeding flock will exhibit an intense fluctuate ~30% from these published weights due to their relentless, extensive and highly instinctive breeding season with their lowest weights typically being recorded in July.[1][2]

The Bourbon Red is a breed of domestic turkey named for its unique reddish plumage and for Bourbon County, Kentucky. The breed standard indicates that mature Bourbon Red toms (males) weigh 15 kilograms (33 pounds), and mature hens (females) weigh 8.2 kilograms (18 pounds). The breed standard indicates the Bourbon Red should weigh 10.4 kilograms (23 pounds) for toms and 6.3 kilograms (14 pounds) for hens at slaughter age (28 weeks). These standard weights were published with anticipation of the potential of the Bourbon Red and when the breed was at its prime.

Why are there two different 'Breed Standards' on Wiki?
