  Garrote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A garrote (a Spanish word; alternative spellings include garotte and garrotte) is a handheld weapon, most often referring to a ligature of chain, rope, scarf, or wire used to strangle someone to death.
Some incidents of garroting have involved a stick used to tighten the garrote; the Spanish name actually refers to that very 'rod', so it is a pars pro toto where the eponymous component may actually be absent.
The garrote particularly refers to the execution device used by the Spaniards until the end of Francisco Franco's dictatorship as recently as 1974.

 Garrote - LoveToKnow 1911
GARROTE (Spanish for "cudgel"), an appliance used in Spain and Portugal for the execution of criminals condemned to death.
He is seated on a scaffold fastened to an upright post by an iron collar (the garrote), and a knob worked by a screw or lever dislocates his spinal column, or a small blade severs the spinal column at the base of the brain.
"Garrotting" is the name given in England to a form of robbery with violence which became rather common in the winter of 1862-1863.

 garrote
If just enough room is left for the thumbs to fit in at the end of the hollowed portion of the stick, a gentle plunge of both syringes should extrude the stage blood from the holes along the tube [“wire”].
The garrote was a simple instrument of torture/execution based on an old style of tightening harnesses on mule packs.
There are two ways to fill the garrote: 1] push the tube back into the handles so that the syringes may be removed from the tube ends (they twist on and off).

 VN Boards - Ambush v Garrote
Garrote and other rogue DoT moves are not affected by armor and thus will always do full damage..
Garrote will always do its normal stated damage, which is pretty-much equal to ambushes' stated damage, however you have to wait 18 seconds to see its full damage result..
So, I tried out garrote against them, and since it was basically a bleed, and didn't have to go though the mob's damage absorbtion, it did great damage.

Lou Smit concluded that hair entangled in the knot is evidence that the garrote was constructed on the victim.
In Smit's theory the garrote was allegedly used in conjunction with an unidentified blunt object to cause the skull fracture and death.
Since the garrote scene is obvious staging, this leaves the head trauma as the element that the garrote scene was designed to obscure in terms of importance.

Garrote studied art in college and carries on at the fringes of the Cuban government.
His work is strongly influenced by the slaves who were brought from Africa to work the prestigious tobacco and coffee plantations of the region, as well as by classic, modern and postmodern art.
What makes Garrote's art so fascinating is its geometric range, cultural diversity and sophistication.

 Garrote and Bola - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
It would also require the weapon Garrote that might give additonal dice of damage to the attack itself.
The garrote is a two handed weapon, so this also doesn't make much sense to me. Also, once successful with the attack can you just do damage on each of your turns?
Garrotes don't require a grab in real life, just slipping the thing over the head.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - The Garrote: Killing your Opponents Softly
The Garrote has had a long history in the works of adventure writers, whether as the weapon of choice for the insidious Thuggee cult (from whose name we get the term "thug") and their knotted strangle cords, or mafia hit-men who strike from the shadows with little more than piano wire around their victim's throats.
A knotted garrote is a normal cord garrote with a knot strategically placed to crush the windpipe.
The user of the garrote takes a -2 penalty to his attack roll but if successful reduces the amount of time the target may remain conscious while holding his or her breath.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Garrote Oriented Rogue Build
My wife is thinking about becoming a garrote oriented rogue for a one shots we are going to be playing.
The major tactic is "Don't be seen, sneak up behind an opponent, use garrote." I'm glad this is going to be a one shot, as every time I've considered using that item, I give up, finding it so strict in execution that it becomes repetitive really quick.
Right now I think the garrote idea may be falling out of favor, with leanings toward a more standard sneak attacking fighter type build.

 Wavelet Shrinkage Denoising Using the Non-Negative Garrote - Gao (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: In this paper, we combine Donoho and Johnstone's Wavelet Shrinkage denoising technique (known as WaveShrink) with Breiman's non-negative garrote.
We show that the non-negative garrote shrinkage estimate enjoys the same asymptotic convergence rate as the hard and the soft shrinkage estimates.
Simulations are used to demonstrate that garrote shrinkage offers advantages over both hard shrinkage (generally smaller meansquare -error and less sensitivity to small perturbations in the data) and soft...
