jQuery slideshow plugin

I'm looking for a particular kind of slideshow plugin, that uses the jQuery library.

Please take a look here:

http://www.pacificcoastnews.com/

This is exactly what I want, 4 individual fading images, fixed size, no controls. I've been looking for a while and haven't found anything similar. I suppose I could make this with 4 separate slideshows but even then, I can't find a simple vertical slideshow, without controls and stuff, that's simple enough for me to use 4 of, to make this.

Does anybody know of a plugin like the one above? Or does anybody know of a good plugin that I could, so I can use 4 instances together, simply?

The jquery cycle plugin can provide exactly that without any additional parameters. In your case you'd have 4 slideshows all setup like the following:

<div class="slides" id="slideshow">
