Here are another 5 quick picks for you, the loyal reader:<\/o:p><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

\"astallaslions_youcant_150\"MUSIC: As Tall As Lions \/ You Can’t Take It With You<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 The band\u2019s third full-length release, You Can\u2019t Take It With You<\/i>, finds New York-based As Tall As Lions creative as ever. Few tracks you\u2019ve ever heard, if any, sound like the dynamics-heavy and string-enhanced album opener \u201cCircles.\u201d Altogether, the collection goes all over the map sonically and stylistically -\u2013 somewhere between Dredg, Radiohead and Death Cab For Cutie, perhaps — yet is the group\u2019s first to crack the Billboard Top 100. See ATAL on the road with Mute Math this fall. (myspace.com\/astallaslions<\/a>) \u00a0<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

BOOK: Jim Collins \/ How The Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 Studying a number of Fortune 500 companies from the 20th<\/sup> and 21st<\/sup> centuries, author Jim Collins is able to deduce why it is that many businesses fail. Without spoiling too much of the story, he is able to explain the five-step process of a company\u2019s descent. Interestingly, research for the book began long before our country\u2019s current economic predicament, showing the timely relevance of Collins\u2019 knowledge.

SERIES: Man Vs. Food <\/b>\u2013 One of the newest (and most popular) shows on The Travel Channel, \u201cMan Vs. Food\u201d follows food fanatic Adam Richman as he attempts eating challenges in different cities. Before attempting each episode\u2019s competition, he visits at least two other restaurants, talking with locals and restaurant staff to get the real story. One need not be a foodie to enjoy \u201cMan Vs. Food\u201d as Richman\u2019s warm personality is mixed with strong improv skills, bringing plenty of humor to the series.\u00a0 (travelchannel.com\/TV_Shows\/Man_v_Food<\/a>) <\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n

TOOL: Roku <\/b>\u2013 Most people seem to know Netflix as an Internet-based service where a subscriber can have DVDs delivered straight to a mailing address in pre-paid envelopes. However, with a Netflix subscription and the $99-priced, sandwich-sized Roku device, a subscriber can also stream over 15,000 movies and television episodes at no extra cost. Also tied in with Amazon On-Demand and Major League Baseball, consider Roku a one-time investment that quickly recoups its cost. (roku.com<\/a>) <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

ARTICLE: Chris Guillebeau \u201c28 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Traveling\u201d <\/b>\u2013 Chris Guillebeau is widely-known as the blogger behind The Art Of Nonconformity blog. A piece that first ran into May 2008, \u201c28 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Traveling\u201d provides tips that Guillebeau has observed within his globe-trotting, self-employed lifestyle. With articles indexed by \u201cLife,\u201d \u201cNonconformity,\u201d \u201cTravel,\u201d \u201cWork\u201d and \u201cWorld Domination,\u201d perhaps not all of Guillebeau\u2019s ideas apply to your life, but there is undoubtedly something for everyone on the site.
