    setTimeout(function(){

    }, Math.floor(Math.random()*1500));
    setTimeout(function(){
        dfd.reject("sorry");
    }, Math.floor(Math.random()*1500));
    return dfd.promise();
}

// Attach a done and fail handler for the asyncEvent
Deferred.when(asyncEvent()).then(
    function(status){
        console.log( status+', things are going well' );
    },
    function(status){
        console.log( status+', you fail this time' );
