I WON AWESOME!!!

And while Dave was correct that the Cremaster muscle is involuntary it's appearance is Skeletal.

The Cremaster is Striated Skeletal muscle in appearance but its action is involuntary.
Go to this link http://www.scribd.com/doc/95429934/1...n-after-injury
and search "atypical striated muscle" and read below it on the next page.

"Some striated muscles of the body with typical histological appearance of striated muscle, are involuntary muscles. An example of such involuntary striated muscle is the cremaster muscle (near the spermatic cord)."

It's function is to contract the testis closer to the body when heat is needed and it relaxes to let the testis hang further away to keep them cool.

And the Dartos Muscle is smooth muscle.
http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldi...ry.php?t=56682
"Definitions:
1. smooth muscle fibers interspersed within the dartos fascia (superficial fascia of scrotum), causing contraction of the scrotum, as when experiencing a cool environmental temperature."

It contracts to make your scrotum all shriveled to reduce surface area and keep them from losing heat.

Dave mentioned the NY Times movie review of the film "Teddy Bear".

MOVIE REVIEW

Gentle Giant Seeks the Strength to Body Check His Mother
‘Teddy Bear,’ With the Danish Bodybuilder Kim Kold


Film Movement

Kim Kold in "Teddy Bear," directed by Mads Matthiesen.

By MANOHLA DARGIS
August 21, 2012

The bodybuilder Kim Kold doesn’t loom over the world of “Teddy Bear,” a low-key Danish drama about saying hello to love and goodbye to dear old, horrible Mom, he towers. As Dennis, the movie’s emphatically noncuddly title character, Mr. Kold has a diffident manner that appears at odds with his outrageous physical size and his character’s expert exhibitionism. A hulking contradiction tucked under a stratum of ropy muscle, his Dennis is at once massive and passive, as big as a house and shy as a mouse. He needs to roar.

First he needs to deal with his mother, Ingrid (Elsebeth Steentoft), a wisp of a woman with sharp features and a bitter affect. A tiny, proud beauty, Ingrid lords over the small, drab house she shares with Dennis, her only child. The two live in a colorless quarter outside of Copenhagen, but they also bicker and overshare in that realm known as the contemporary art film, at that junction where lives of quiet desperation meet the cinema of sobriety. By this I don’t mean that anyone is a teetotaler in “Teddy Bear,” though Dennis’s breakfast slurry of nuked nutritional powder and egg whites is punishingly spartan. It’s only to say that the movie’s no-frills realism derives from common aesthetic strategies like hand-held cinematography and nonprofessional acting.

Directed by Mads Matthiesen from a schematic screenplay by him and Martin Pieter Zandvliet, “Teddy Bear” is a largely likable tale about a 38-year-old man-child trying finally to grow up. When the movie opens, Dennis is having a nightmarish presumptive first date with a bored chick who listlessly picks at him and her food. Dennis explains that he’s a professional bodybuilder, but that he has to work in security to pay the bills. From the way he hides out for a spell in the men’s room, his heavy head listing toward the sink as if he were about to retch, it seems obvious that this isn’t his first lousy match. He brings to mind an Easter Island statue teetering and nearly toppling.

There’s more to Dennis than initially appears, and, through a series of small narrative turns, he manages to shake off the Danish dreariness — he pries away from Mom’s viselike clutches with a lie about a bodybuilding competition in Germany — for the welcoming sun and embracing nights of Thailand. He makes the trip on the recommendation of another relative, his Uncle Bent (Allan Mogensen), who has suggested, with rather hilarious understatement, that it’s easier to meet women in Thailand. Guided by hope and a handful of glossy brochures, Dennis arrives in Pattaya on the east coast of Thailand, where he soon makes his way to a bar. There he is greeted by the proprietor, Scott (David Winters), who quickly asks Dennis what he likes in women, breast size included.

Maybe that’s offensive, but Scott enters the movie shirtless and could easily wear a B cup himself, so it’s also funny. Although there are times when this world of tight smiles, monstrous maternity and hovering camerawork can feel too familiar, Mr. Matthiesen has a way of consistently and gently upending expectations, sometimes with humor. He also navigates the Pattaya bar scene with an equally welcome absence of defensiveness or condemnation. After scanning the mismatched pairs of older Western men and young Thai women, Dennis decides that the scene isn’t for him, a choice that leads him toward a friendly civilian, Toi (Lamaiporn Sangmanee Hougaard), who owns a local bodybuilding gym where Dennis finds camaraderie, and the movie enters a nice and easy sweet groove.

3 Ways to Send an International Text Message

May 02, 2012 | Rebtel

Sending international text messages can incur big texting fees if you aren’t careful. If you want to send an international text message without seeing your text charges increase astronomically, there are ways you can stay in touch with friends and family in other countries without emptying your bank account.

Send Text Messages Internationally From Your iPhone

If you have an iPhone, you can send an international text message using a variety of apps. Some assign special text only phone numbers to each of your contacts; others are more of a chat service that can eat up your data plan. If the person you are calling has n iPhone as well, you can use the iMessage system to send texts for free between phones no matter where you are - it just uses your data plan!

Rebtel 2.0 is the best way to send international text messages on your iPhone as it simply creates a local number to route texts through, lowering the costs of the international portion of the SMS to 2.5 to 5./5 cents. An international text sent using Rebtel can cost as little as 10 cents total, since the local text amount is simply deducted from your text plan with your local carrier.

Sending International Texts Using Other Mobile Devices

WiFi options abound for Windows Phone and Android users, but they can eat your data plan as again they are nothing more than glorified chat services. Google and Skype do the same thing, eating your data minutes whenever you send an international SMS.

Rebtel makes it easy to send international texts from anywhere on almost any device. Just enter your phone number with Rebtel, then the numbers of your friends and family. Rebtel will create local numbers for each one, so you can shoot them an SMS without paying huge international rates.

Send an International Text Message Online

If you spend a lot of time in front of your computer and prefer to send text messages online instead of from your phone, online SMS is a great deal. Services like SendSMSNow allow you to arrange your contacts and send individual SMS for free - although extra features (such as group texting) require a paid upgrade.

Rebtel Web SMS is another option. Log into your Rebtel account, select Web SMS, then type the name of a Rebtel contact or enter an international number. Then you can simply type your text message and click send. If you include a Collect reply link, your friend can simply reply from a mobile web page for free (although they may have to pay data charges to their carrier). Since Rebtel Web SMS is online texting, you only pay the super low Rebtel international SMS rates and nothing to your regular carrier.
