"The Fattest Crackhead on the Planet" is a hilarious, astounding journey through the life of Sarge, who wasn't always named Sarge. Born Steven C. Pickman and given up for adoption at birth, Sarge always knew he was "different" than the other kids. The product of an illicit relationship between an orthodox Jewish woman and a black man, Sarge's biological mother chose not to divulge the race of the father. Unsuspectingly, Sarge's adoptive parents, procured him at birth without being provided with any information about the baby's racial background. Not caucasian, and racially not totally black, Sarge was the target of countless racist taunts and abuse. A gifted musician at 5 years old, Sarge's journey through prep school in Connecticut, 2 colleges, the fashion industry in New York, 2 major TV sports networks were precursors to an addiction to drugs and alcohol which would result in his homelessness on the streets of New York. The amazing story of the one friend he had left, his life being saved the day after Christmas by praying one prayer, led to a miraculous turnaround. Wanting to be a comedian since the age of 6, Sarge's sobriety gave birth to a career in comedy that still continues today. No stranger to setbacks, Sarge and his wife were blessed with a baby boy, who suffers from Sensory Processing Disorder. Zander did not eat any solid food until the age of 4, but his turnaround was as exciting and as miraculous as his fathers. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be uniquely inspired.

I'm Still Standing Up: A Tale of Devilish Proportions

Born Steven Charles Pickman in June of 1961, "Sarge" as he's known is adopted by a white Jewish couple from Long Island. Little did they know, the baby was the product of an orthodox Jewish woman and a black man. A piano virtuoso as a child, only going to the best schools and colleges, Sarge finds alcohol and drugs as a way of coping with his addictions. Even though he persevered and won jobs in the fashion and television industry, he found himself homeless and addicted on the streets of Manhattan. A friend, incidentally the only one he had left facilitated a trip to rehab that would be the turning point of his life. Getting clean and sober in 1990 led to Sarge getting into show business following his lifelong dream to become a comedian. Following a meteoric rise through the ranks in the ultra-competitive stand-up comedy business, he'd go on to perform with some of the biggest names at the time in adult contemporary music. He'd get married, have a son and go onto blend his professional comedic chops with his knowledge of addiction to become a counselor in treatment centers from Florida to Malibu, California as the only nationally known entertainer to work in rehabs with young people struggling with addiction. His birth, and then rebirth will have you laughing uproariously and then shedding a tear. A journey that is truly hilarious, uncanny and inspiring.

The only way to stop a hacker is to think like one! ColdFusion is a Web application development tool that allows programmers to quickly build robust applications using server-side markup language. It is incredibly popular and has both an established user base and a quickly growing number of new adoptions. It has become the development environment of choice for e-commerce sites and content sites where databases and transactions are the most vulnerable and where security is of the utmost importance. Several security concerns exist for ColdFusion due to its unique approach of designing pages using dynamic-page templates rather than static HTML documents. Because ColdFusion does not require that developers have expertise in Visual Basic, Java and C++; Web applications created using ColdFusion Markup language are vulnerable to a variety of security breaches. Hack Proofing ColdFusion 5.0 is the seventh edition in the popular Hack Proofing series and provides developers with step-by-step instructions for developing secure web applications.
