MADRID， Sept 4 (Xinhua) -- Nairo Quintana and Alberto Contador directed an ambush of Chris Froome on stage 15 of the Vuelta de Espana (Tour of Spain) cycle race to extend Quintana's lead in the overall classification of the race to an almost decisive margin.
Quintana and Contador were part of an important group of riders which launched a surprise attack after just 8 kilometers and were able to open a two minute gap over the main group， which containing Froome.
The British rider was totally isolated with just one member of his Sky team in the main group and needed the help of other teams to help chase down the breakaway.
The 118 kilometer stage， coming after Saturday's marathon stage， was expected to be a parade until the final climb of the day， but instead became a decisive battle that smashed the race to pieces as Quintana and Contador's group opened up a gap of 3 minutes， while Froome desperately looked for allies to keep in touch.
The gap had closed to around 2 minutes at the bottom of the final climb， where Quintana looked to put as much time as possible into Froome， who had started the day 54 seconds behind him， but who finished 2.39 behind on the stage to now lie over three and a half minutes off the leader.
Quintana was beaten in a final sprint by Gianluca Brambilla but with one hand on the Vuelta title， he won't be too disappointed by that， while big questions will have to be asked in the Sky camp over how Froome could have been left so exposed for so long.

Planning a kids' birthday party these days has evolved from just having cake and balloons to actually having a theme, which is mostly about anything and everything that interests him at the moment, whatever that may be. Nothing is more fun for kids than to dress up in costumes and play pretend to a higher level with his closest friends and family

http://www.teamnhlrangersshop.com/authentic-brady-skjei-rangers-jersey-sale/ , it is important that the theme suits the celebrant because it is certainly no fun planning something that wouldn't even generate the slightest excitement.
You can research to get an idea of just how evolved party planning has become, as well as how creative people are these days when it comes to making sure their kids have fun on their birthdays. Another thing you need to remember is to have a checklist at hand with all the things you need to do listed in order complete with a deadline by which they need to be completed so you don't forget anything important and essential to making the party a huge success.

Of course, the first thing that catches the eye at any party is the decorations.

Talking of balloons
http://www.teamnhlrangersshop.com/t-shirts/ , of course, no pirate party is complete without the iconic skull and crossbones-printed balloons that represent exactly the spirit of adventure and daring that makes pirates so appealing to little boys and girls. Your balloons can be one huge foil balloon centerpiece or several black and red latex balloons strewn carelessly but artfully around the room to represent the pirates' carefree and fiercely independent attitudes.
Balloons are sometimes the only décor you need to throw a great party so you can also choose from other iconic pirate designs like inflatable parrots, pirate ship and treasure chest printed balloons in Partiesonline.au t.
