How to remove a specific line matching pattern1 and pattern2 ?

Hi,
I have a file like below:

.
.
.
.
Jack is going home
Jack is going to school
Jack is sleeping
Jack is eating dinner
John is going home
John is eating breakfast
.
.
.

The specific line is:
Jack is going home

As you can see, pattern1=Jack, pattern2=home
So, how can I remove this line matching the pattern1 and the pattern2 ?

Thanks in advance...
salih

igrep [options] pattern files... DESCRIPTION
The igrep utility is invoked as follows: igrep [options] pattern filename... Where pattern is a POSIX.2 regular expression (just like the Unix/Linux grep(1) command), and filename (and any following names) specify images or directories that should be searched. An image file will "match" if any of its metadata contains values contain substring that are recognized regular expression. The image files may be of any format recognized by OpenImageIO (i.e., for which ImageInput plugins are available). Example: $ igrep Jack *.jpg bar.jpg: Keywords = Carly; Jack foo.jpg: Keywords = Jack test7.jpg: ImageDescription = Jack on vacation For a complete description, see /usr/share/doc/libopenimageio-dev/openimageio.pdf.gz.
