Angry Biting!

I still have a big problem with Bailey biting. She gets way too excited during play time and focuses all her attentions on me- my hands, feet, clothes, hair, face, whatever she can get.

I've been using a soda can with pennies to shake when I say no. At first it worked great, but now it just gets her more riled up. She focuses her energy on the mountain dew can with pennies. She growls at it, barks at it, jumps for it. And she still bites me when she can't get the can.
I also use time outs, putting her in her crate for a few minutes. After a couple times she comes out more relaxed and focuses more on her toys than me. But it's not long before she's biting again and we start all over.

I don't know what else to do. It's not like play biting anymore, it's *mean* biting. For some reason she has an obsession with faces and if I put my face near the floor I can expect her to run and jump at my face biting and scratching. Whenever people come over to play with her she gets overly excited and bites, and it has caused people to accidentally throw her off. I'm afraid she's gonna get hurt or hurt others.

It's been 3 weeks and my hands are STILL sore from all her bite marks. Help!
