Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Love the drivers who make the morning commute more interesting.  I used to have a guy who would give motivational speeches everyday between the last pickup and the subway.  Awesome.

Know where this is?
this is good. A real human being.

I thought that it was just a made-up closed captioning piece. But, it's real and he's real. More important things going on in the world.
(I do photography and there is a point to having 5-10 photos of this type of news story, but that's about it. Good quote: "Slaves to gadgets."

so articulate!, his mvp acceptance speech
Good funny quote: On Hasheem Thabeet: “I could walk in and have a terrible day and I could see Hasheem smiling at me, at 7-foot-3 with small pants on. That would change my day.”

Good serious quote: On his mother: “One my best memories I have is when we moved into our first apartment. No bed, no furniture, we all just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it. … You wake me up in the middle of the night in the summertime, making me run up a hill, making me do push-ups. Screaming at me from the sidelines of my games at eight or nine years old … When you didn’t eat, you made sure we ate. You went to sleep hungry. You sacrificed for us. You’re the real MVP.”

Tfillin? awesome!  Not being perceptive enough to get boy's feedback (he thought it was a Bar Mitzvah!), problematic.  If a boy is willing to do something new like this and even terms it a Bar Mitzvah (where relatives later sent checks, ie still has not been corrected), he is ripe for kiruv now.  Bar Mitzvah could have been the carrot.  Now it's over.  He's had his (according to his thinking).  Missed opportunity from a potentially great source.

First of all you are reading too much into a comedic exchange (I doubt he got those checks...).
Second of all where some may see a missed opportunity others will see a seed that has been planted. this boy had a positive Jewish experience and someday when he is older and wiser and will have an opportunity to learn more he won't be instantly turned off. Don't underestimate the power of a single Mitzvah...

Again, totally agree with the tfillin/mitzvah part.
