Query And Or Problems (Nesting)

How the hell do I do this in SQL :
Select * from MyTable where F1 = "This" AND F2 = "This" And F3 Between 10000
And 15000 OR F3*10 Between 10000 And 15000
I know it's a strange query. I wont go into any further details but the OR
F3*10 Between 10000 And 15000 is required.
Everything is fine until I add that bleedin "OR F3 *10 Between 10000 And
15000".
How the hell do I nest this ?AND has higher precedence than OR. In situations of confusion, use
brackets.

a AND b AND c OR d
is interpreted as
(a AND b AND c) OR d
It looks like you want to put parentheses around the OR'd expressions:
SELECT *
FROM MyTable
WHERE F1 = 'This' AND F2 = 'This'
AND
(F3 BETWEEN 10000 AND 15000 OR F3 BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500)
