 William DORMER (Sir Knight)
William was a baptismal name much favoured by the Dormer family and the career of the only son of Sir Robert Dormer before the 1540s is all but impossible to disentangle from those of his numerous kinsmen.
If Dormer was Cromwell's servant, his marriage to a daughter of Sir William Sidney, later chamberlain of the household to Prince Edward, may have been the minister's work.
Dormer gained his first experience of Parliament as a young man when he was returned in 1542 as second Member for Chipping Wycombe with John Gates, who had no known connexion with the county but was a groom of the privy chamber.

 Dormer Sheep Breeders Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The main object with the development of the Dormer was to breed a mutton breed which could adapt to conditions in the winter rainfall area of South Africa (cold and wet) and from which suitable rams could be produced for cross breeding purposes.
Further discussions in connection with the registration of the Dormer were held on August 5, 1970 between members of the Dormer Sheep Breeders' Society (DC Lourens, WJ Louw and IL Ferreira) and delegates from S A Stud Book Association.
Although the Dormer originated as a result of a need for the production of slaughter lambs in the Western and Southern Cape regions having been identified, the Dormer is today distributed throughout South Africa.

 Boles v Dormer Giant, Inc. (2005 NYSlipOp 01270)
Dormer Giant opposed the motion, arguing that section 11 did not apply because plaintiff was a self-employed, independent contractor, not an employee of Personal Touch; or, alternatively, that section 11 did not bar the third-party action because Personal Touch had failed to secure workers' compensation for plaintiff.
The Appellate Division affirmed (5 AD3d 417 [2d Dept 2004]), concluding that Dormer Giant had failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to its liability under the Labor Law; that Personal Touch was plaintiff's employer; and that plaintiff did not sustain a "grave injury" within the meaning of Workers' Compensation Law § 11.
Dormer Giant takes the position that an employer may not benefit from section 11's protections against third-party liability unless it first complies with section 10 and secures workers' compensation for its employees.

Trampoline, the collection of D.C.-area indie musicians and producers centering around songwriter Pat Ferrise, is essentially a pop project; Dormer's associations with other bands (Girls vs. Boys, Edsel, Manifesto, Velocity Girl, the Eggs) may lead one to expect indie-rock tendencies, but the album is focused on polished, radio-friendly, and only slightly indie-oriented pop.
The collection of talent collaborating on the record, however, means that this sort of pop receives an intelligent execution which is likely to appeal to the indie crowd, and while Ferrise's songwriting is never brilliant, he does turn out a solid and consistent series of charming pop tunes.
I Want One of Everybody, the project's second release, moves farther into rock territory, and is more mainstream and accessible than Dormer -- and since well-executed pop seems to be the project's aim, I Want One of Everybody is probably a slightly better place to start.

 DORMER
Before her marriage with Henry VIII, Jane Seymour had been engaged to one of the Dormer family, perhaps William Dormer, Sir Robert's son.
In 1568 Hungerford sued his wife for divorce, alleging that she attempts to poison him in 1564 and had committed adultery between 1560 and 1568 with William Darrell of Littlecote and that she had had a child by him.
He was said to be beset by heretics (such as the Earl of Bedford) so that one letter quoted "he breathes their spirit" and "the use of ill company and all lack of good occasions of reviving a man's slow devotion to good things, in time corrupts the mind, affection and soul".
