What is a good site for useful criticism and advice for your writing?

I’m kind of working on a book (novel)…and it’s decent so far, but I was wondering, what is a good website that I might use to show others my work so that they, in turn, might tell me what I’m doing right and what I’m doing wrong? I’m not horrid writer, but I sometimes have a hard time figuring out how to write out anything from a few sentences to several paragraphs to where they flow with the surrounding sea of words. 10 points! :D

What is the name of the science fiction story about doing math WITHOUT a calculator?

I remember a story (probably 50′s era) where the main character has the AMAZING ability to perform simple calculations (adding and subtracting) without the use of a giant computer.

It might be by Isaac Asimov or one of his contemporaries. The implication is that now they can build a space ship without devoting space to a room sized computer to do their math.

Thanks!

How is the early development of the northern colonies different than the southern colonies?

How is the early development of the northern colonies different than the southern colonies?
I have to write a paper on this, and I read my text book chapter on it multiple times; however, the book only talks about the southern colonies in the 1600s, like VA, GA, and the Carolinas. It mentions MD, but that is mainly colonized for the Catholic people. From the information I have, I can’t find too many differences…and Google is helping much either. Can anyone give me a few ideas for this?
