Just some points on the flash presentation you just watched (these are my own notes and not from islamweb.net):

• The slides mention (slide 10) that you should eat part of the meat of the sacrificed sheep. While this is recommended, it will not be possible for 99% of Hajjaj.
• The same slide mentions you might sacrifice your own sheep, again this will not be possible for most Hajjaj
• The slides do not specify a time for Tawaf Al-Ifadah (Slide 11), this is because it does not have to be performed on the 10th of Dhul Hijja (although most people do perform it on this day). You would be wise to delay the Tawaf Al-Ifadah after the 10th if possible to avoid large crowds.
