title: How to get the k-th element in a jQuery set ... AS A JQUERY ELEMENT
body: <p>So I encounter this situation often and I want to figure out a better way of going about it. I using the naming convention prefixing my jQuery elements with <code>$</code> so that I can distinguish them from DOM elements. For example, the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$pointers = $('#pointer-box div.pointer');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem with that is, if I want to get the 3rd in the result as a jQuery, I have to do </p>
  
  <pre><code>$($pointers[2])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which looks awkward. Unless there's a better way of doing this?</p>
