As a beginner, it has begun to dawn on me that "ukemi" is really the art of working with the nage, with multiple levels of learning.....
I just got Ellis Amdur's DVD on the topic and he starts touching on counters, shortly after introducing front falls - the part where he explains why uke shouldn't commit too early to doing a forward roll out of a particular technique. Haven't watched it all the way yet, though.
Hope the OP is happier with ukemi these days.

1. Ellis Amdur's DVD and method is EXCELLENT.
2. Yes, uke and nage are the same thing: learning to stay relaxed and in the moment with good structure.
