Get Entity Framework 6 use NOLOCK in its underneath SELECT statements

First of all... You should NEVER EVER use NOLOCK for each and every SQL Statement. It could compromise the integrity of your data.
It’s like any other query hint a mechanism you should only use when you do something out of the ordinary.
There is no way to tell the EF Provider to render the NoLock hint. If you really need to read uncommitted data you have the following option.
  1. Write your own EntityFramework Provider.
  2. Use a Command Interceptor to modify the statement before it is executed. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/dn469464.aspx
  3. Use a TransactionScope with IsolationLevel.ReadUncommited.
I know you said you do not want to use Transactions but it's the only out-of-the box way to read uncommitted data. Also it does not produce much overhead as each statement in SQL Server “implicitly” runs in a transaction.
using (new TransactionScope(
                    TransactionScopeOption.Required, 
                    new TransactionOptions 
                    { 
                         IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted 
                    })) 
{
        using (var db = new MyDbContext()) { 
            // query
        }
}

    public static IList ToListNolock(this IQueryable query)
    {
    using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, new TransactionOptions() { IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted }))
    {
    IList toReturn = query.ToList();
    scope.Complete();
    return toReturn;
    }

    private static TransactionScope _TransactionScope { get { return new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, new TransactionOptions() { IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted }); } }

    public static List ToListNolock(this IEnumerable query)
    {
    using (_TransactionScope) { return Enumerable.ToList(query); }
    }

    public static T FirstOrDefaultNolock(this IEnumerable query)
    {
    using (_TransactionScope) { return Enumerable.FirstOrDefault(query); }
    }

Tip/Trick: Fix Common SEO Problems Using the URL Rewrite Extension

Search engine optimization (SEO) is important for any publically facing web-site.  A large % of traffic to sites now comes directly from search engines, and improving your site’s search relevancy will lead to more users visiting your site from search engine queries.  This can directly or indirectly increase the money you make through your site. This blog post covers how you can use the free Microsoft  URL Rewrite Extension  to fix a bunch of common SEO problems that your site might have.  It takes less than 15 minutes (and no code changes) to apply 4 simple  URL Rewrite  rules to your site, and in doing so cause search engines to drive more visitors and traffic to your site.  The techniques below work equally well with both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC based sites.  They also works with all versions of ASP.NET (and even work with non-ASP.NET content).

How to create a countdown timer in jquery

Create a countdown timer in jQuery First we need to include the jQuery library file to the HTML page to perform this task. To do that we need to understand that what exactly a jQuery library fie is ? JQuery library file is the library of JavaScript, which means this file contains the predefined functions of jQuery. We just need to call these functions to perform the task. jQuery functions reduces the lines of code and makes our task easy. As this jQuery library file contains the javascript functions so we need to call the function within <script> </script> tag. Now after including the file, we need to define a variable which will store that for how long you want the timer on the page(c=60) and now the time you set needs to be changed in hours , minutes and seconds using the code “ var hours = parseInt( time / 3600 ) % ;var minutes = parseInt( time / 60 ) % 60; var seconds = time % 60;” Now we need to put the condition if timer got finished (if (t
