Enter Time Machine and navigate to the backup you want to delete and use the actions menu(the pulldown with the asterik) in the Toolbar. There you will see the option to delete the backup.
Also, when using the actions menu, with a file or folder selected there is an option to delete all instances of the file/folder from all backups.
This is a great way to free up space on your External Hard Drive if needed.

Common Mac Startup Key Combinations
C You start from a bootable CD such as your install DVD in the drive.
D Perform an Apple Hard ware test if you have your install DVD in the drive.
N Boot from a network compatible server. Only useful if you have the server.
T Start up in Target Disk mode. in other words if your connected to someone via Firewire your Mac will appear as a drive on their desktop
Option Key Here you can pick which drive you want to boot from.
Option+N Similar to the item above, except you get given the choice of booting from a network disk.
Command + S Single User Mode. This is where you can run a lot of high level tasks as a single user. Probably not for newbies.
Shift Start up in safe mode. Very useful if you have a problem and need an environment where you don’t want unnecessary things loaded. A good bet if you get Kernel panics during boot.
Option + Command + P + R Reset PRAM
Hold Eject or F12 or Mouse Button- This will eject anything that is in the disk drive.

Sync your iCal Subscribed Calendars with your iPhone
1. Select a subscription calendar.
2. Choose File/Export and just Export the Shared Calendar to your Desktop on your Mac with a slightly different name then the subscribed calendar.
3. Choose File/Import… to import the iCal file you just created. The Mac will ask which calendar you want to add the events to, choose New Calendar. It will create a new local calendar with the same name as the file.
4. Then to delete the subscription calendar hold the Control key and click on the calendar and scroll down to delete it.
5. Now you can assign the calendar a color and then let them sync up to your iPhone!
This is great for getting Birthdays sync'd on your iPhone.

Menubar Madness
Many Mac users love the ease of the menubar. It's a great way to access applications or check your Mac's vitals. For all those menubar lovers we found a link that has a great list of some shareware and freeware add-ons.
Before you get too excited just make sure you read the description before installing, because many menubar items installed prefer to be launched upon login. This could slow down the start up of your Mac.
You can always check what is being launched when your Mac boots up by navigating to your System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items
