Halachos for Erev Shabbos Kodesh
1) It is very common when opening a can of vegetables, tuna fish or sardines, or similar items that come in a sealed can, to drain the liquid from the can before removing the food.
This is forbidden to do on Shabbos as removing the liquid (which is P'soles, the unwanted item) from the food (the Ochel, the desired item) is a classic example of prohibited Borer.
2) Very often when opening a cup of yogurt or leben, a small layer of water is present on the top and is intertwined into the yogurt/leben. This water is usually stirred into the yogurt/ leben or, alternatively, is spilled out.
If the water and the leben/yogurt are already joining with one another, it is considered "a mixture" and the water may not be spilled out on Shabbos, as doing so is a prohibited Borer. If the yogurt/leben is solid and the water on top is not seeping into the leben/yogurt, then it may be spilled out.
Halachos for Shabbos Kodesh
1) A fly, or another unwanted small item, that fell into a drink may not be removed by itself; rather it must be removed together with some of the liquid from the cup. (See Mishna Berura Siman 319:61. We shall B'Ezras Hashem discuss this Halacha of taking some of the good with the bad in more detail in the days ahead)
2) A pot of soup that contains in it pieces of chicken, vegetables and other items is divided into two categories as follows:
a) The top layer of the pot which contains only liquid is not considered "in a mixture" and the liquid may be poured out or otherwise removed from there even if it is being removed in order to get to the other items in the pot.
b) The bottom half of the pot, where all the chicken, vegetables etc. is laying is considered "in a mixture" and thus the soup and/or the other items may only be removed if all the criteria of permissible Borer are present (i.e. the good is taken from the bad, for immediate use and it is done without specialized utensils).

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.

Reader's Question:
What is the Halacha regarding using dishes that have not been used for at least 15 -20 years.
They are fine bone china, but I know they did not come from a kosher home?
Answer:
Usually china cannot be koshered.
If they are expensive, and havent been used in over a year ( as is your case) some Poskim alow them to be koshered and used. Consult a Rav for halacha L'Ma'aseh.

Chizuk For Today:
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated Torah as we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it as if we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmm...just where is my Torah today?
Oh, and ooooooone more thing.
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about Torah being disconnected because its calls never fail.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities'?
No dropped calls!
No worries about running out of power-recharging it
