Why does bxSlider keep going to last slide, and why does adding provided options break the code?

See: http://sthliquidations.com

I just downloaded and installed bxSlider. It seems to be exactly what I want, but I'm having several issues: I'm using Chrome

1) No matter what slide I'm on, the last slide shows after transition (except the first slide).

2) When I try to adjust the modes, the slider becomes it's basic UL list.

Process:

Header code:

<head>

    <!-- NAME THE PAGE -->
    <title><?php $title ?></title>

    <!-- GET THE FAIRY DUST AND DUST BUNNIES -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="scripts/basic.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="contact-files/contact-form.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <!-- bxSlider -->
    <script src="/scripts/jquery.bxslider.min.js"></script>
    <link href="/scripts/jquery.bxslider.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    <script src="/scripts/muscles.js"></script>

    <!-- TELL GOOGLE WHAT IT WANTS TO HEAR -->
    <meta name="description" content="<?php $description ?>">
    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php $keywords ?>">

    <!-- FIX ENCODING ERROR -->
    <meta charset="UTF-8">

</head>

Header file:

<!-- =============== -->
<!--       BODY      -->
<!-- =============== -->
<body>


<div id="header">

    <div class="logo">

    </div>

    <!-- TITLE -->
    <div class="headerwindow">

        <div class="logo-box">
            <a href="index.php"><img src="/images/logo_white.png" alt="STH Liquidations" class="logo_image" /></a>
        </div>

        <div class='title'>

        <?php
            if ($title != "STH Liquidations")
            {
                echo $title;
            }
        ?>

My JS File (renders UL list of images):

$(document).ready(function(){

    });

});

My JS File (renders slideshow that "almost" works):

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.bxslider').bxSlider();
});

Errors Chrome Inspect Element is throwing this errors:

Uncaught ReferenceError: fade is not defined muscles.js:3

I have made sure that all the files that came with the download have been included. I have followed the only instructions I could find on the website. Can anyone see what might be going wrong?

I had the same issue. I fixed it by setting useCSS: false in the js file. When useCSS is set to false bxslider uses jQuery animate() instead of CSS transitions for horizontal scrolling.
