#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry {
background: none !important;
-webkit-border-radius: none !important;
-moz-border-radius: none !important;
border-radius: none !important;
-webkit-box-shadow: none !important;
-moz-box-shadow: none !important;
box-shadow: none !important;
border: none !important;
filter: none !important;
}

.edit-link {
display:none;
}
