Re: urgent help required
2011-03-01T18:41:00Z in response to shwetaraje123Not sure why you wouldn't set it up the same way. for example, if your old URL was http://windows-system/mypage.html, why would you not set up the new one to be something like http://linux-system/mypage.html?
You'd probably get more tomcat-specific advice on the Server-side Java programming forum.

In a nutshell, ''Mommie Dearest'' (1978) was a memoir written by Christina Crawford, depicting her physical and mental abuse at the hands of her adoptive mother, famed actress Creator/JoanCrawford. It had spawned the equally famous [[TheFilmOfTheBook Film of the Book]], with Faye Dunaway in the role of Joan Crawford.
To put it more bluntly and in more detail, the book pretty much destroyed the reputation of Joan Crawford in the eyes of the public, as far as the book's revelations about her systematic abuse of her children, Christina in particular. The book's vivid recounting of Joan's psychotic behavior and abuse of her children polarized Hollywood into camps of those who confirmed Christina's story (or acknowledge that the signs of the abuse were there and that no one said anything about it) and those who proclaimed that the novel was a revenge plot, designed by Christina to ruin her mother's name after finding out that she was being cut out of her mother's will and as a means to gain fame, as her own attempt to launch an acting career had fallen short.
The book can be seen as one of the first (and arguably most successful) of the genre of nasty tell-all biographies of stars, mostly from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood, told by their children. The kids of Marlene Dietrich, Creator/JudyGarland, Creator/HenryFonda, Loretta Young, Music/BingCrosby, Creator/BetteDavis, and Creator/PeterSellers all tried to replicate its success with varying results (the Bette Davis book flopped and was debunked, for example, but the books that Marlene Dietrich's and Bing Crosby's respective broods wrote did quite well).
The 1981 movie version of the book was an even bigger debacle: Faye Dunaway (who ironically had been praised by Crawford in print prior to her death and who even suggested that she should play her in the inevitable bio-film of Joan's life) was cast and Paramount mounted it as a serious bio-film. Sadly though, after numerous re-writes and an incompetent director whose previous directing experience was a handful of hammy melodramas, much of Joan Crawford's character development ended up missing, which turned her into a deranged cartoon character, and the abuse segments took on larger than life sadistic tones. By the end, even Christina Crawford (whose husband had a hand in producing the film) thought the film was too over-the-top. As such, Faye Dunaway came off as a LargeHam--her acting career never really recovered--and the film picked up a huge word-of-mouth regarding it as [[SoBadItsGood an unintentional comedy]]. This forced the studio to {{retool}} the marketing to focus on the over-the-top abuse. Sadly, it failed to save the box office take, though it secured itself as a CultClassic.
Faye Dunaway is now supposedly writing a tell-all memoir of the disastrous making of the film (which would make it a book of the film of the book!).
!!''Mommie Dearest'' provides examples of:
* AdaptedOut: No mention of Christina and Christopher's other siblings in the film version.
* AbusiveParents: Three guesses, no prizes.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The film shows Joan's role on the soap opera ''The Secret Storm'' being taped live. In reality, because of how drunk she was on set, they often had to rely on editing to make it watchable.
** Joan also had four husbands, though she was on her third by the time she became a mother. The movie combines them all into one character Greg.
* AxCrazy: Joan is portrayed as this.
* BerserkButton: Wire hangers strangely sets Joan Crawford off in the movie adaptation.
** The root of her hatred for wire hangers is most likely the fact that Joan Crawford grew up dirt poor, and wire coat hangers were a reminder of the past and her struggles being poor.
*** Joan also had to do menial work in her youth at the dry cleaner's behind her house, making the hangers an especially physical reminder of her rough past.
** Wire hangers can also leave permanent dents in delicate fabrics, which is what expensive clothes are often made of. Her anger could have derived from the fact that she was angry her daughter was 'ruining' the clothes she spent a lot of money on.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Joan and possibly Christina.
* BlandNameProduct: A unique example regarding Joan's acting career. Since Paramount owned the rights to very few of her films, most of Joan's work is left intentionally vague.
* {{Camp}}: The film is often cited as a prime example.
* ChewingTheScenery: Faye Dunaway mowing down the sets, props and co-stars in every scene she's in.
** To quote ''Variety'''s famous review: "Dunaway does not chew scenery. Dunaway starts neatly at each corner of the set in every scene and swallows it whole, costars and all."
* CompositeCharacter: In the movie, Greg is a combination of the various husbands and lovers Joan Crawford had, while the housekeeper is meant to represent several employees in Joan's house.
* CuteAndPsycho: Joan Crawford, if ''Mommie Dearest'' is to be believed.
* EvilMatriarch: Joan Crawford, as depicted in both the book and the movie.
** {{Determinator}}: She comes off as one in the film, however, thanks to all the shit ''she'' has to put up with as a WhiteDwarfStarlet.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The final lines of the movie, after Christina and her brother find out that their mother had disinherited them, suggest that Christina would truly have "the last word".
* GenrePopularizer: As mentioned, Christina Crawford's book started a slew of mean-spirited books written by children of famous actors about their parents' alleged abusive and loose behavior. Lampshaded in ''Series/TheGoldenGirls,'' in a bookstore Sophia says she's going to go browse in the "Bitter children of celebrities" section.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Christina, especially in her younger years before the slew of abuse.
* HamToHamCombat: Christina vs. Joan before the latter attempts to strangle the former.
* HowWeGotHere: An almost metaphysical example; the film ends with Christina's decision to write a tell-all book about her mother, which in turn gets adapted into the very same movie the audience is watching.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In the film at least. Joan is portrayed as being stingy lending money to Christina when she grows up, telling her "not a cent" when Christina needs help with the rent. At around the same time, Joan married Alfred Steele, the CEO of Pepsi, and is forcing him into debt to finance her larger-than-life Hollywood lifestyle.
* LargeHam: And how. TruthInTelevision too, as the real Crawford was said to be one in Real Life. Also, Faye Dunaway as Crawford in the film version.
* LawOfDisproportionateResponse: Joan Crawford flies into a hysterical rage, because she discovers some wire hangers in her closet, which lead to the infamous yell: "No... wire hangers... ever!" Even more disturbing: this anecdote was taken directly from her daughter's autobiography about the famous actress!
* LeftHanging: In the movie Crawford's son Christopher is frequently seen strapped to his bed, but the movie going audience never gets any explanation why he is subjected to this treatment, thus causing a lot of confusion. Only those who've read the book would know [[spoiler: Joan Crawford strapped Christopher down to his bed to prevent him from masturbating.]]
* MiseryLit: Arguably one of the best and most influential examples.
* MuseAbuse: It inspired the Music/BlueOysterCult song ''Joan Crawford'', whose video is a farrago of images from the film.
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Subverted, as Christina claims she was cut off from Joan's will "for reasons best known to her."
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: The book claims that Joan was one of these.
* OffToBoardingSchool: As it happened to Christina Crawford.
* PantyShot: A somewhat jarring one from Christina, when Joan [[spoiler:attacks and chokes her.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSGXe-x-E9g "DON'T FUCK WITH ME, FELLAS! This ain't my first time at the rodeo."]]
* ThePrimaDonna: Joan is portrayed as this.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "NO! WIRE! HANGERS! EVEEEEEER!!!"
** Also, "I AM NOT! ONE OF YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAANS!!!"
*** "Oh Joan, stop 'acting'." "IIIIII'MM! NOOT! ACTINNNNNNNGGGG!!!"
* RealityIsUnrealistic: Many assume Dunaway's performance is campy and over the top, when drunk abusive people have acted that way in reality. Not to mention how over the top the real life Joan Crawford was. In fact Barry Norman's book ''The Hollywood Greats'' claims that the real Joan often spoke as if she were reading lines from a script.
* SignatureLine: "No wire hangers, ever!"
* TitleDrop: Christina addresses her mom this way with the movie or book title of the same name.
* TraumaticHaircut: Joan in the movie forcibly cuts Christina's hair (while screaming at her) after catching her preening in Joan's mirror. "You spoiled it, just like I spoiled you."

Drumming in the ears
Of all the musical instruments drumming has actually got to be the rawest bodily feedback to songs. There are so many various kinds of strikes, rolls, as well as loads that it?s impossible to name. Depending upon the style of music you intend to play there are certainly dozens of techniques particularly meant for that sound. Looking into, exploring and also engaging in these techniques is to end up being a far better, more well- rounded drummer.
Among the methods that could be integrated right into the slower minutes of lots of designs is the brush movement. It really uses your fingers as opposed to sticks or a brush. Utilize your fingertips, or nails for a brighter tone, and delicately attacked the leading of the pad. Don?t bend at the elbow joint, just raise your arm backwards and forwards. This will create a mild, tender tone during the time-outs in in a ballad, in a jazzy break and even in a slower rock tune.
There?s dispute and differing viewpoints regarding the most effective kind for using the bass drum. The pivoting concern is whether to maintain your heal up. It?s easy to do rolls and double strikes with your recover up as well as you get louder strikes. It aids you obtain volume and play for a long period of time also. Essentially, with your foot raised in the air merely drop it down right into the pedal, leading with your toe. This is opposed to maintaining your recover on the ground and dropping your toe in the direction of the street.
Getting your rolls down is an important part of being a drummer, as nearly all designs need it at one time or one more. As a drummer, you need to be able to play promptly. The concept is to loosely be holding the sticks so that they bounce off the head and back down on the head, producing the result of truly, truly quick strikes! In the beginning it may appear shockingly quickly, however you?ll acquire faster and quicker earlier compared to you could think. One great suggestion is the more detailed the sticks are to the head, the much less time they?ll require to bounce and hit them once more.
There are several various ways to strike a cymbal as well as hi-hat. This example is done often in jazz music and Latin music where the rhythm is mostly maintained, opposed to rock which instructs more tom toms. You can play hard at crashing moments after a lull in the beat or you could play delicately to stress that a more challenging sector is finished. To be an all-round drummer you have to manage to play lightly as well as with ferocity when the event calls, as well as suffering from equivalent reliability and also tone in either situation.
Ultimately, there are way too many designs, ideas and also strategies to listing in a sector this small, and also a publication would have to be many hundred pages before the knowledge from music?s earliest instrument might be passed along! Research it, talk with friends and also artists you recognize, and listen thoroughly to your preferred entertainers.
Platinum, a chemical aspect that is sourced mainly in nickel and also copper ores is a rare component in the earth?s crust. It is because of its highly sturdy, ductile, malleable, non-oxidizing, lustrous, as well as thick nature that makes platinum more resilient than gold.

The platinum ring market is filled suffering from complex styles as well as patterns that match a person?s character. Couples can select from a variety of platinum rings fitting their requirements and budget plan, however naturally.
Many Facts that makes Platinum Costly compared to Gold
The percent of platinum in the earth?s crust is much less compared to the typical portion of gold which is why it is considered to be quite costly. Jewelry made with platinum is scratch immune, which is not the instance suffering from gold precious jewelry. Gold, being softer compared to platinum or titanium can be easily moulded into fallen leave like sheets, which is somewhat not possible in the other two steels, as they are known for their strong and also dense nature.

im going to upgrade my phone this week as was going to go possibly for an iphone (got the n95 8gb at mo) but which one should i go for 3g or 3gs? having a huge amount of storage isnt really an issue and so not to bothered about that. but is there a new a huge difference between the new 3gs and the 3g now that its had the software update?
I've just gone for the 3g 8gb....like you, i don't need the storage and now the 3.0 update is available (picture messaging, cut and paste and a few other updates) I (personally) couldn't see the point of the 3gs.
Hardware wise: 3G S is faster loading, has marginally better battery life, 3d graphics accelerator for games, a much better camera (still pretty c**p though...) and can record video. Oh and it has a built is compass (?!? Whoopee!) If any of these are important, then the 3G S, otherwise, save your money and buy the 3G. I'll be staying with my 3G 16GB for some time to come... Cheers,
Just thought I'd throw my 2pence worth as im in the same situation, and have decided on the 3gs after much research. The compass is actually a more advanced feature than you may think and prove a huge advantage with applications they'll produce for the IPhone in the future. In effect it's not just an app that can navigate you to North if your lost on the south pole, far from it it's actually a completely new bearing or axis if you like that the IPhone can sense. What the heck am I talking about? Well for example there's a Wimbledon App that apparently can sense when you point the phone at the direction of any tennis court at wimbledon which is play. When you do this displays all the court information, score, and all the stats basically in real time for it. (I can imagine this being developed so it can be used in certain shops in the future) However this feature will only work on the 3Gs as with the compass it 'knows' which way the phone is actually facing.. thus it becomes much more than just a 'compasss'. Yes the 3G has GPS, and knows where it is in the world but not which way it's facing... it could be upside down for all it cares! There's even talk of a app being developed that's similar to google street. Ie if u visit a town u don't know and point ur IPhone in the direction of shops or a road, it can display the actual map with the shops, restaurants, beaures whatever it is all with there telephone numbers, there menu for restaurants etc... all fed from Googles huge database that it's allready building online for google maps. Again the compass will be invaluable to this and wouldn't work on the 3G IPhone. Ok so these kind of apps may not be being released tommorow, but 12months down the line they'll certainly be on the cards or even sooner - and you may end up regretting not going for the 3Gs by then. (minimal 18month contract unless you buy it out right off course!) So bear that in mind in the future when they start releasing even more advanced Apps for the Iphone... I without a doubt am going for the 3Gs just for the compass alone! But as you can see there's huge potential for it and how the Iphone can use it. Hope that helps ur decision.
I'm waiting for O2 to get some more handsets in stock then i'm getting an iPhone 3GS too. I do think that those already with an iPhone 3G might as well just wait a little longer till the price for the S comes down but as i've never owned an iPhone i'm going straight for the S.
Im not sure how long O2's exclusivity contract is with Apple but I shouldn't think it'll be any time soon. I've also read that trying to unlock an iPhone can cabage it completely.

Australian-imported simmer sauces invade U.S. condiment aisles
COLLINSVILLE, Conn. The popular Australian brand, Passage to India, is bringing its simmer sauces to U.S. retailers.

Och, can you tell it's been too long since middle school Bible history lessons? I am really loving Charles Saxon, though! Do you think too many people would notice? Maybe I should just opt for Boaz Frederick, then, although I think I'd miss Boaz Benjamin that I had been considering earlier. Hmm.
Or maybe just opt for Saxon Frederick instead? I'm not sure how much I LOVE Saxon for me as a FN, though--I love that Alex O'Loughlin has a son named Saxon (honestly, I love Lion, too, so I must just love his style...), but I'm not sure I can see me with a Saxon...
As for Hans/Johann, that probably wouldn't be too much of a worry, but what about Saxon and Johanna as siblings? Would that be a no-no, do you think?Last edited by ashthedreamer; June 26th, 2013 at 06:20 PM.

From press release
Rockford Park District invites everyone to the Children's Farm's 40th Birthday Bash at Lockwood Park, 5201 Safford Road, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 28 (weather permitting).
This birthday celebration offers one day of fun at the park for the entire family. All the activities will take place in several areas within the park, including wagon and pony rides, and games and crafts for the children.
The Children's Farm is designed to give children from the city an opportunity to experience the aspects of rural life. Preserving our rural heritage and the charm of old farming days when horses pulled wagons and horseback riding was the common mode of transportation, the Children's Farm offers an ideal country learning and fun atmosphere for people of all ages.
"Many childhood memories have been made over the years at the Children's Farm," said Lockwood Park Manager Debbie Ackerman. "We hope this event will bring new and seasoned visitors to celebrate the Children's Farm's 40th birthday."
Admission to the event is free; fees will be charged for some activities, and refreshments will be available for purchase from the Friends of Lockwood.
The mission of Lockwood Park is to help people enjoy life through their connection with animals. The park program provides a variety of experiences and learning opportunities to promote healthy, positive interactions between people and animals. Lockwood Park offers 94 miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding.

"Police Officers"
They put their lives on the line everyday
These men and women who we should thank
Instead we hurl accusations at them
We yell at them for mistakes we make
We kill them
They have one of the highest stress rates
Suicide rates
Divorce rates
And we have the nerve to beat them down
They save our lives everyday
But all we think about is how they are pulling us over
To give us a ticket, making us late
You are the real-life heroes of our time
Thank you for doing a thankless job
Thank you for making our streets safe
For us, for our kids.
For me.

Formalizing the Informal or Informalizing the Formal? Integrating Remittance Systems for Post-Conflict DevelopmentJohn R. HarrisBoston University Daivi Rodima-TaylorBoston University April 14, 2013 Abstract: Remittance flows in fragile post-conflict environments are primarily transferred through informal channels and draw upon existing social institutions and solidarity networks. The informality of post-conflict remittance transfers poses challenges to their integration into rehabilitation and development efforts. Populations in conflict-affected countries are limited in their access to financial services due to the lack of legal frameworks and payment infrastructures. Attempts to capture informal remittances by formalizing their delivery systems have therefore not had much success in this context. This draws attention to the need for a broader approach to post-conflict remittance systems and the possibility of their institutional integration. Contemporary informal remittance systems form increasingly complex global financial networks that are still very poorly understood. The paper examines the modern informal remittance sectors in Somalia, Liberia and Sierra Leone with their social embeddedness and global connections, exploring the contributions and challenges of informal remittances to post-conflict development. The conflict-induced remittance systems in these countries have proven to be highly entrepreneurial in character, encouraging local adaptations that facilitate linkages between multilevel financial institutions. The paper suggests a broader approach to remittance institutions in Africa that accounts for local adaptive potentials and wider institutional connectivities in the era of growing displacement and expanding transnational remittance flows.

She may be a tiny thing — she weighed only 1 pound, 6 ounces at birth — but Josie Brooklyn Duggar is already the star of the show. The newest Duggar arrived December 10th, more than three months earlier than her scheduled due date. Her short life has already been eventful: when she was only eight days old, she was moved to Arkansas Children's Hospital's intensive care unit after she perforated her bowel. As that facility doesn't allow children younger than 18 years in the ICU, most of the other 18 Duggar children have been checking in via video taken on dad Jim Bob Duggar's phone.
The Duggar family, who star in the TLC show 18 Kids and Counting, just keeps getting bigger! The family recently announced that mom Michelle, 42, is pregnant with baby #19.
Yes, you read that right, 19!
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who make their home in Tonitown, Arkansas, were anticipating the arrival of their first grandchild. But surprises were in store, as the couple learned that granddaughter, Mackynzie, who's expected to arrive October 18, will have an aunt or uncle arrive about five months after her, on March 18, 2010!
"I'm just thankful," Michelle wrote on her TLC blog. "I don't take this experience for granted, ever. I cherish that I have the time and ability to play with my children and be active for them."
The family has already created a list of boys and girls names that start with the letter J to make sure the newest addition fits in with the rest of the family:
Josh, 21 (who with wife Anna is expecting Mackynzie)
Jana and John–David, 19 (and twins)
Jill, 18
Jessa, 16
Jinger, 15
Joseph, 14
Josiah, 13
Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 10 (more twins!)
Jason, 9
James, 8
Justin, 6
Jackson, 5
Johanna, 3
Jennifer, 2
Jordyn-Grace, 8 months
What "J" name would you recommend for Duggar baby #19?

US 4737174 A Abstract A multiple stage filter assembly which combines a permanently framed particulate filter media layer with an odor and particulate removal filter media layer which is removably mounted to the particulate permanent filter frame in overlying relationship to the outer surface of the particulate layer. The odor removal filter media layer is held in position by a plurality of filter retaining members which cooperate with the main frame structure to provide support for the gaseous filter layer. The retaining members function in a manner which permits simple removal and replacement of the gaseous filter layer without disturbing the permanently framed particulate filter layer.
Claims(4) 1. A multi-stage air filter assembly for particulate and gaseous contaminants comprising, in combination, a particulate filter media forming a first filter layer having its outer edges disposed within a metal frame means having rear, top and bottom walls; each of said top and bottom walls provided with a lip portion turned toward one another to define an opening of a channel between said walls adapted to receive the outer edges of said particulate filter media in force-transmitting engagement; a second layer of filter media including a gaseous adsorption constitutent disposed in freely overlying relationship to said layers of particulate filter media; and a plurality of retaining means mounted within said channel of said frame means, each of said retaining means including an outwardly extending finger movable between an engaging and non-engaging position relative to said second layer of filter media to removably mount said second layer in said overlying relationship to said first layer in an operative relationship thereto.
2. The filter assembly defined in claim 1 wherein said finger of retaining means is biased in said engaging position relative to said second layer of filter media and is movable to said non-engaging position by a force greater than said bias to provide a clearance between said first layer and said finger for movably positioning said second media layer between said engaging and non-engaging positions.
3. The filter assembly defined in claim 1 wherein said retaining means comprises a unitary strip having an inner portion provided with at least a top wall and rear wall mounted within said channel of said metal frame means and wherein said outwardly extending finger has a generally concave configuration biased downwardly into said engaging position relative to said second layer, and a recess extending parallel to said top wall of said frame means, said turned lip portion on said top wall of said frame means being disposed within said recess to secure said retaining means in an operative position.
4. The filter assembly defined in claim 1 wherein said retaining means comprises a metallic strip having a rear portion extending within said channel of said frame means parallel and closely adjacent to the top wall of said frame means, and said outwardly extending finger extends generally parallel to said first layer, and a recess between said rear portion and said outwardly extending finger; said turned lip of said top wall of said frame means being inserted in force-transmitting engagement into said recess to secure said retaining means to said frame means, said outwardly extending finger being vertically movable beyond its elastic limit to an open position defining non-engagement with said second layer and a closed position defining engagement with said second layer.
Description Non-removably mounted particulate and gaseous filter media have been housed in more or less conventional permanent frame constructions for many, many years. Such frames generally consist of metal channel members forming the four sides of a rectangular configuration with the edges of the filter media being disposed within the channels. Typically the side walls of the channel members are bent inwardly to firmly engage and fix the outer edges of a layer of filter media in position within the frame. While this is generally a satisfactory construction for particulate filter media of relatively long life or which can be cleaned and re-used, it represents a considerable expense in those applications wherein the filter media is relatively short-lived. In such situations, a disposable and replaceable media is desirable. In applications wherein a combination of particulate and gaseous filter media are required, it is not unusual for one or more types of such media to be relatively shortlived. In this situation, a less expensive disposable filter media held by an inexpensive throwaway frame construction is desirable. However, prior frame constructions of the stronger permanent type do not readily permit removal and replacement of layers of filter media held therein and the less expensive disposable frame constructions are less sturdy, weak and otherwise not satisfactory for certain applications. The prior art has incorporated all filter media within a singular frame which must be thrown away when one or more of the filter media has served its useful life or to employ a separate filter frame for each type of media used. In certain applications, it is desirable to provide multiple filter media in a given application wherein one of the media types are preferably disposable. Prior to the present invention a suitable frame construction which combines the desirable characteristics of a conventional strong metal frame with the desirability of employing one or more disposable layers of filter media has not been satisfactorily provided by those skilled in the art. The present invention relates to an improved filter construction and particularly to a filter assembly employing a novel multiple filter media combination comprising a permanently framed layer of filter media and a layer of a removably mounted disposable filter media. The present invention includes a generally conventional metal frame adapted to permanently mount a particulate filter layer, typically expanded metal for example. Such a filter construction is sturdy and long lasting. In accordance with the present invention, a second filter media layer is removably mounted in parallel overlying relationship to the particulate filter layer. Preferably, the removably mounted filter layer comprises a gaseous filter media typically employed to remove odors and requires more frequent replacement due to a shorter useful life compared to the particulate filter. The means for removably mounting the second layer to the permanently framed layer comprise a plurality of novel retaining means which are uniquely mounted to the metal frame holding the particulate filter media and include vertically movable gripping or engaging means to removably fix the second filter layer in operative position overlying the permanently mounted filter layer. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a multiple filter media assembly which combines a permanently framed particulate filter layer with a removably mounted, disposable gaseous filter media in an efficient and economical manner. It is another object of the present invention to provide a multiple filter media assembly which employs relatively inexpensive mounting means to securely fix the removable filter media in operative position overlying the permanently mounted media in a simple and facile manner. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a filter construction of the type described wherein the retaining means for removably mounting the disposable media layer are fixed within the metal frame during the normal manufacture and assembly of the permanent filter media within the frame. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a filter construction of the type described wherein the disposable filter media may be conveniently and quickly manually removed and replaced and yet offers a pleasing and attractive appearance to the consumer. Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein preferred forms of embodiments of the invention are clearly shown. In The Drawings: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a multiple filter media assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional elevational view of the frame and the gripping members of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 illustrating the filter media removed therefrom, the section being taken on a vertical plane adjacent to one of the retaining members; FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the multiple filter media assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention illustrating a modified form of retaining members for removably mounting the disposable filter media; and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional elevational view, similar to that taken in FIG. 2, of the frame and retaining member of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. A multiple filter media assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and includes a generally rectangular metal frame, indicated generally at 20, for permanently mounting one or more layers of a particulate filter media 22. Preferably, the filter media 22 comprises a plurality of layers of expanded metal which form a long-lasting, re-usable particulate filter. The construction of frame 20 and media 22 are old and well-known in the trade and have been used for many particulate filter applications. One typical application for such filters is in range hoods for the removal of grease aeresol generated while cooking. Since the frame is a relatively costly item, such a frame and filter construction may be removed, cleaned and reused many times. However if the filter is damaged or otherwise becomes unusable, the frame and filter must be replaced because of the permanent nature of the construction. In applications wherein it was desired to also include gaseous filter media for odor removal, the prior art employed a combination of particulate and gaseous filter media permanently mounted in the same frame. However, this type of construction is less satisfactory as the gaseous media possesses a significantly shorter useful life than the particulate media. Therefore, the user is left without effective odor removal or must replace the total filter assembly, including the expensive frame and particulate media. In accordance with the present invention, permanent frame 20 is provided with a plurality of retaining members, indicated generally at 24, which form an auxillary filter media retaining means. Retaining members 24 comprise a strip of resilient material, preferably spring steel for example, which is pre-formed into a predetermined configuration such as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Frame 20 is normally formed by a conventional bending method wherein top, bottom and rear walls are created along fold lines joining the top and bottom walls to the rear wall. The top and bottom walls 26 are also provided with an inwardly turned lip 30, which upon assembly, forcefully engage the edges of the layers of particulate filter media 22 which is positioned within a channel 32 formed between the walls 26 and 28 of frame 20. In the manufacture of a conventional frame 20, bottom wall 26 and rear wall 28 are formed essentially as shown, however, top wall 26 is only partially bent downwardly toward the final position shown in FIG. 2. At this point of the conventional assembly method, the outer edges of layer 22 of the particulate filter media are positioned within channel 32. The conventional assembly is then completed by a conventional bending press apparatus which closes top wall 26 to its final position wherein the layer 22 of particulate filter media is engaged and held between the lips 30 provided on top and bottom walls 28. However, in accordance with the present invention, a retaining member 24, which preferably comprises a strong resilient strip of material, is inserted with its rear portion 25 disposcd within a channel 32 prior to closing top wall 26 with the outer finger portion 27 extending outwardly from frame 20 over the upper surface of layer 22. The members 24 are preformed and dimensioned proportionally to the dimension of frame 20 such that lip 30 on the top wall 26 will enter a recess 29 in member 24 upon closing top wall 26 to the final assembled position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition to fixing the edges of layers 22 within channel 32 of frame 20, this procedure also secures each retaining member 24 within the respective channels 32 along each side of frame 20 and biases the concave curvature of finger portion 27 into engagement with the upper surface of layer 22. With members 24 assembled as described herein, a layer of gaseous filter media 34 of proper dimensions may be easily positioned in overlying relationship with layer 22 by sliding an edge thereof under the finger 27 of member 24. This is accomplished by slightly raising the outer end of finger 27 to provide clearance to position the layer 34 flat over the surface of layer 22 with the outer edges of layer 34 generally coinciding with the inner edge of frame 20. Gaseous filter media layer 34 typically may comprise a non-woven sheet of synthetic fibers or expanded and slit paper filter media which may be impregnated with activated charcoal for odor, aeresol and further particulates removal. When removal of layer 34 is required, a similar lifting of finger 27 permits layer 34 to be easily pulled from under fingers 27 and discarded. A replacement layer 34 may then be positioned as described above to provide a new efficient gaseous filter layer. Prior to replacirg layer 34, particulate layer 22 may be cleaned, if needed, by washing with soap and water. Then the whole filter assembly may be returned to its original condition for efficient operation. Typically, the particulate filter will outlast several replacement gaseous filters before replacement of the frame and media layer 22 is required. In the preferred embodiment shown, the outer end of finger 27 is provided with a tooth or barb 31 to enhance the engagement between the fingers 27 and the removably mounted layer 34. Now referring to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a modified retaining member 24-A is illustrated. The remaining components of the filter assembly 20-A are identical to those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and therefore are indicated by the identical reference numerals. The modified retaining member 24-A comprises a strip of metal which has significantly less inherent resiliency as compared to member 24. Therefore it may be raised or lowered between unbiased open and closed positions by vertical movement beyond its elastic limit. Member 24-A is pre-formed to assume the configuration shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and includes an inner portion 25-A which is inserted into channel 32, an outer finger portion 27-A and a recess 29-A. Member 24-A is assembled within frame 20-A in the same manner as previously described relative to member 24. Lip 30 of top wall 26 is similarly inserted into engagement with the bottom of recess 29-A to force it into engagement with the media layer 22 also assembled in channel 32. Lip 30 of top wall 26 also anchors retaining member 24-A such that it may be bent upwardly or downwardly along the outer raised edge of recess 29-A. The nature of the metal strip forming member 24-A is by design easily bent beyond its elastic limit to an open position or a closed position into engagement with a media layer 34 positioned over the surface of layer 22 such as best seen in FIG. 3. The finger portion 27-A also has a modified configuration in view of its operation and includes a downturned lip 36 which is serrated to more firmly grip layer 34 when finger 27-A is closed down upon layer 34. The nature of the construction of member 24-A makes it somewhat easier to replace a new layer 34 as compared to member 24 in that the finger 27-A may be raised to an stable position providing more clearance to properly place layer 34 in its operative position overlying layer 22. However, finger 27-A will not automatically engage layer 34 and must be manually bent downwardly and pressed into engagement with layer 34 to fix layer 34 in the assembly. In view of the foregoing description, it should be understood that the filter assembly of the present invention provides a significant improvement over the prior art by providing an efficient and cost effective unitary construction having both a permanently framed filter media and a removably mounted filter media which operates in a simple and relatively easy manner.
