Some basic questions about mercury (the element)?

What is its method of preparation (isolation)? I've written that cinnabar is heated in a current of air and the vapor is condensed, because that's all I've really been able to find.

Is mercury actually the only metal that is liquid at ordinary room temperatures or are there others? I've seen both while researching.

Also, what should I put for a description of the element?
