Items in blog view are staggered

Items in the category view are staggered. The placement seems to vary between refreshes of the same page and in different browsers.
Is this a flexicontent issue and if so, how can this be resolved?

Hello

Joomla version and FC version ?

do you use the unmodified blog template or an not modified copy of it by "duplicate" in backend ?

you may post a link to the page

I'm on the most current versions of Joomla v3 and FC
I've hidden a couple of items in the backend template
- blog items -> display parameters
created date/time, revisor name, and show favour are set to hide
No changes to blog category

I'm also seeing an issue with the next page function.
I've tried to set categories to view 10 items per page but, they all show multiple pages as being available and clicking on next page just refreshes the first page.
this category -> http://###thewoodlandsguide.com/things-to-do/winter only has 7 items in it.
this category ->http://###thewoodlandsguide.com/destinations/restaurant-guide has over 300 items.

I have some other questions as well but, am hoping that getting these resolved will also resolve the other issues at the same time.
Thanks!

most current isn't good information ... 3.0.15 , 3.1 RC ?
