 * In Firefox (haven’t checked it on others yet), when mouse hovers over the unordered
   list items in the navigation menu, the menu item itself and the ones to the left
   of it shift to the left.
    It’s got to be some difference in padding or margins
   between the link and hover state, but I just can’t find it. Here is the site:

   to the HOME ABOUT US SERVICES etc.

 * In your stylesheet, on lines 565 and 579, you’ve got `padding: 0 22px` for your
   menu links, and `padding: 0 24px` when you hover over the menu links.
 * Lines 565-571:
 *     ```
       ul.virginiaorganizer-hmenu>li>a.active
       {
          padding:0 22px;
          margin:0 auto;
          color: #0E5971;
          text-decoration: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Lines 579-583:
 *     ```
       ul.virginiaorganizer-hmenu>li>a:hover, ul.virginiaorganizer-hmenu>li:hover>a
       {
          padding:0 24px;
          margin:0 auto;
       }
       ```
