Bonds but no Treasuries?

My wife caught the "famous" Jim Cramer this morning on the Today Show & he was saying to stay out of Treasuries but buy bonds (didn't say what kind). Then he said if you need the money for retirement take it out of stocks. So I asked my wife the timeline on when you need it & where the heck are we suppose to put it. He didn't answer that question.

So my questions to everyone are:

If I'm trying to have a lazy portfolio following the Fund Advice
Fundadvice Ultimate Buy & Hold - Lazy Portfolios - MarketWatch.com
then where should I put the allocation to Tips & Treasuries that they suggest?

They suggest 20% Intermediate Term Treasuries
12% Short Term Treasuries
8% Tips

How is everyone here allocating the bond portion of their portfolio?

Thanks,

ADUM
