 * don’t use ‘query_posts()’ for secondary loops;
 * use `get_posts()` or `WP_Query()`
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
   
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
 * and always make sure to reset the query after the secondary loop.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_postdata](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_postdata)
 * example:
 *     ```
       <?php	
   
       $header_posts = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=2&cat=12');
       if ($header_posts->have_posts()) :
       $i=0;
       while ($header_posts->have_posts()) : $header_posts->the_post();
       ?>
       YOUR OUTPUT
       <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       ```
