What are the Best Ruby Screencasts/videos to really understand ruby? Which ones would you recommend?
PeepCode
Teach Me To Code
Railscasts
RubyPulse
Ruby Tapas
GoRails
Railscasts is probably one of the best around, and Ryan actively updates it weekly. Gregg Pollack also did a few. There's also a ton of Ruby related screen casts floating around the internet, whether they're taken from conference talks or self built on youtube.
I recommend Lynda videos, i really liked them and the guy is very instructive.

I have been looking for forums developed in Ruby on Rails and I found some solutions like threaded, sugar, forum monster and forem.
Could do you suggest me one of them and pros/cons?
I'm a RoR newbie and I'm looking for a solution that can allow me create a "community" around this forum and learn more RoR during the trip.
I would like to suggest you. This forum software.

This looks awesome.

I'm looking for a very concise guide to using rails. I've done lots of work with other similar frameworks like Django so I just need a very short tutorial. Does anything like that exist?
Thanks!
This is best guide for those who are new to rails..
http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book
If you're willing to put up with a few quick video tutorials, Rails for Zombies by EnvyLabs (railsforzombies.org) gives a good overview of the framework.
If you decide to check it out, know this: at the time of this writing, there's one error in the tutorials. The code they show you for writing a basic redirect is missing a prepended slash on the URI. (At least, according to the interpreter they use for the accompanying exercises, it's incorrect.)
Other than that small gripe, in my opinion it's a great way to onboard yourself and colleagues in Rails, before drilling down into the gritty details.

I need a suggestion on the best logging mechanism available out of all for a vast application which may need something like log4j..
Rails already comes with a logger. Of course you can substitute it for another logger, for which Log4r (has quite some similarities with log4j) could be a good option. But it would be nice if you could elaborate a bit more, before asking one-line questions. Anyway, this is a great place to start:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/debugging_rails_applications.html
Chapter 2 covers the (built-in Ruby) logger.

More I'm going on with MongoID driver for MongoDB nosql models in my Rails apps, more I feel don't knowing so much about the full expressiveness, elasticity and powerness of its constructs.
Mongoid docs is one of the clearest, easy and usefull documentation around the blok, but still not enough to understand the implication in the deep.
Think for example at the design/performance/scalability/refactorability implication of using embedded one to many vs referenced one to many
I'm looking for source of examples and eventually online tutorials, articles and books to go deeper here.
Thanks in advance
luca
Design and scalability are more related to the database itself. I'm going through "MongoDb the definitive guide" book right now before jumping into mongoid to gain better understanding

I am look for some Structure map Tutorials.
Does anyone know of any?
EDIT: All answers are appreciated but I was looking for something that is not on the first 2 pages of Google. I would have the sense to do that first.
Read http://structuremap.sourceforge.net/QuickStart.htm.
And from there you can find info of plenty of different usages.
Update 1: I had been using structuremap, and the info in there was just enough to get it going. Also note that I am biased for text formats, although I do listen/watch other formats from time to time. That said, here are some extra info on it that I have read/watched:
This web cast of the http://wekeroad.com/2008/06/03/mvcstore-part-13/ (as I watched the whole series) - this one got me into looking at structuremap
