JQuery :: Dynamically Slide Through Some LI Every 10 Seconds

I'm using this plugin to dynamycally slide through some li's every 10 seconds. Alternatively, the user can click on a link to go to the desired tab. Problem is, if there's 1 second remaining and the user clicks, the tab will only be visible for a second and then change. I need to find a way to reset the timer on click, but haven't have luck.

Here's the code:
$("#slider .tabs li a").live('click', function() {
... some function ...
});
/* Automating */
$("#slider").everyTime(10000,function(i) {
... some function ...
});
Is there an easy way to reset the counter of the second function when the first function is called?
