Created January 16, 2014 21:11
Here's an example of doing yields in Ruby. The fail! and finished! methods set the state of the load in the DB and save the execution time
def self.audit(command = 'Load')
unless block_given?
raise ArgumentError, "You can only invoke audit with a block"
end
a = nil
begin
a = Load.create :command => command, :status => 'started', :start_time => Time.now
yield a

All the times the Shins mention a girl
And she was no ordinary girl
Girl, inform me, all my senses warn me
Remember the girls in the middle are always the first to fall off.
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer
So forget about it, girl
I gotta leave here, my girl, get on with my lonely life
Girl, you must atone some
Eyeless in the morning sun you were pale and mild, a modern girl
You'd be damned to be one of us, girl
Dare to be one of us, girl
