Subject: NoMethodError when trying to validate model field

Hi, When validating a field in my user model, I wrote a method
"is_client?" to help with the validation.  But I did it wrong because
now I'm getting this error:

 NoMethodError in SessionController#create
undefined method `is_client?' for User:Class
RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.5/lib/
active_record/base.rb:1238:in `method_missing'
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/easyrx/app/models/user.rb:16
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/easyrx/app/controllers/session_controller.rb:
12:in `create'

Here's the relevant code.  Any ideas what I can do to get rid of this
error?  Thanks, - Dave

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  ...
  validates_as_phone        :work_phone, :if => !:work_phone.blank? &&
is_client?, :message => "is not a valid phone number"         # line
16

...
    def is_client?
      user_type_id == 2
    end

end
