Application Settings stored in the DB and available in plugin models?

Hi, I have some settings set in the admin area and stored in the db
that i use throughout the app, and would like to access in a plugin.

I get the settings like this in the app controller:

function _getSettings(){
$this->settings = $this->Setting->find(); #get them

#make available in controllers
$this->settings = $this->settings['Setting'];

# make available in views
$this->set('settings',$this->settings);

#make available in plugins
// ??

}

But those variables are not availabe in a plugin model. How can I
make those settings available everywhere?

Settings writen using configure::write in the core.php file are
available, but not ones written in appController. Where can i write
them out from the DB so they are available in the plugin model?

Or am i going about this the wrong way entirely?

Thanks,

Will.
