Concerts in NYC: In an NY hot July, there are still ways and places, where 
you can get something intensive, moving and substantive. What about getting 
almost free or  free tickets indeed, for a classical music concert or 
recital? Can you complain about such offer, when you get to listen to a 
Beethoven Symphony, at the same time having the possibility of meeting a 
bunch  of old pals, co-patriots, music-lovers, and enjoying the architecture 
of Lincoln Center in Manhattan? It so reminiscent of the surroundings of 
Tirana Conservatory Roman Imperial grandeur, a landscape overwhelmed by the 
whiteness of the marble  structure.

The Italian conductor Riccardo Muti will lead an all-star American orchestra 
in a FREE concert July 22 at 8p.m. at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. 
Members of the NY Philharmonic will join players from  more than a dozen of 
the Europe's major assembles for a concert of works that celebrate freedom. 
The program includes Beethoven's Third Symphony and chorus "Va pensiero," 
Verdi's hymn of liberty from "Nabucco", as well as the triumphal finale of  
Rossini's opera "William Tell." Tickets will be available at the Avery Fisher 
Hall box office on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning Monday, July 
15.

How you listen to Beethoven is an intensely personal thing. You can listen to 
his music also through students recitals on Friday and Saturday for a mere 
$10 in the cozy old school hall of European flavor at the summer Beethoven 
Institute (address Mannes College of Music, 150, 85th St. between Amsterdam 
and Columbus, 212-580-0210).

Bad hair month damage control. Are you having a bad hair? You think is just a 
PMS thing? It's nothing compare to having a bad hair month. July is generally 
known as the bad hair month. For many beauty salons in the Northern 
Hemisphere the  month of July, is unusually busy with a lot of 
curly/iron-flat hair female customers and very unhappy with their look. They 
complain that their hair frizzes out into an unruly mass on hot and humid 
days of July. When we asked a hair expert for any advice, the first and the 
only advice given us, was not to wash your hair for the whole month of July. 
Can you resist the temptation of taking a shower or a swimming bath and 
singling out from the rest of you body your head, not to be part of the 
refreshing and joyous moments in the sticky hot days of July? It looks as an 
impossible enterprise, but it is the only path to Salvation. How come? Why 
you have to endure such ordeal? It looks that chemistry and physics of the 
hair have the say this time. Hydrogen bonds as  well as disulfide bonds  hold 
hair protein together. The incoming water from the humid air disrupts the 
hair's hydrogen bonds by weakening the  sulfur bonds, the atoms shift  
around, allowing the stronger disulfide bonds to pull hair into tighter 
curls, especially after taking a shower or swimming. The combination of 
tighter curls with swelled strands caused by the abundant water in the air 
makes hair frizzy. About 10% of the disulfide bonds don't re-form, the hair 
is really drenched, its structure is at its weakest, leaving hair vulnerable 
to breaking, and it is why hair snarls.
