Proper saxophone embouchure and posture?

I'm looking into getting a tenor saxophone and I'm just curious, what is the proper embouchure? I've seen it with both lips curled around your teeth, just the bottom lip, and neither at all... Which one is "right"? Also, which one is easiest for beginners? I've been playing flute for 4 years now and I play often, so I have pretty strong lips already.

My second question is, what is the proper posture? Is there anything to look out for while your holding the instrument besides sitting up straight? Any wrist things or anything? I'm teaching myself so any information would be very helpful!
