Rating Widget - Update afterRating following rateHandler

Question

In the rating widget I am implementing, I want to fade the
stars out onclick, then fade them back in with the updated
"average" value showing. I am using the rateHandler to call my fade
function, and then the fade function calls another fade to handle
the fade-in. However, during the fade-out, the afterRating updates,
so you sometimes see the new value being updated as the widget is
fading out.
Basically, I would like to update the "afterRating" value
following the fade-out, but before the fade-in. Any ideas?

Update:
Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
So I replaced it with what I originally had.
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(
