Gratz on your transition and the best of luck to you!
1. Tourney play and Cash play are 2 different beasts!  Do NOT play the same in the tourney as you would at the cash table and vice versa.  Cash play live is much looser than the tourney play, you can buy back in at cash if you bust out.  Pick up Harrington's on Hold 'Em series.
2. Get Mike Caro's book like others have suggested.  There is also a thread on here from a few months back that speaks about live tells, if you can find it in the advanced search it's worth a read.
3. Shake up your play, if you become a regular you'll soon be playing with the same people and as nice as they will be to you, they are watching you and your play very closely and the regulars are telling each other all about you, your style and your tells.  If you are new to live, you do have tells, you just don't know it.  
4. Be OBSERVANT - don't allow conversation to distract you while others are in a hand.  I hope I don't have to say to stop your conversation while you are in a hand but if you are, do and pay attention.  Also, stop your conversation with another if he/she gets into a hand.
5. Don't question others plays so much while new, and while at the table, do it at the bar area or lounge area while on a break or whatever.  At the table it will only show how much you don't know, what it is you are and are not willing to do.
6. Keep a journal of your tourneys and cash play.  Your wins and losses, hands, the regulars at the tables, notes on them like you would online, etc;  This will help.
