UPDATE:

hey guys, I'm pretty excited, I got it dialed in really well now. I'm glad I posted up for help.

here's what I did:

1. for rear der. fix I did as Mark suggested and cranked in the B screw. After 1-1/2 revolutions (1/4 turn at a time) it shifted to the lowest cog. yes!

2. for front der. I used my old school 80's fix and bent the outside of the cage with two pairs of pliers. See picture. Now I need no trim in 8th gear, and I think if I tweak the cage just a tiny bit more I'll need no trim in 9th gear - it's barely rubbing.

I wish I had taken the picture with the chain on the lower chain ring. You'd see it passing through the area that I bent (orange area)
