There are no server lines; I don't understand how you can have a server association.

However, in this case, the server is not a valid NTP server.

org time 00000000.00000000 (Feb 07 00:28:16 CST 2036)

This should be your current time as of when you sent the poll.

rcv time d794b214.1bc65df9 (Aug 12 10:32:36 CDT 2014)

This is where you are getting the reference time from and it should be updating.

xmt time 00000000.00000000 (Feb 07 00:28:16 CST 2036)

This should be very close to the rcv time.

filtdelay =  55.87  55.70  55.68  55.61  115.01  56.03  55.72  59.62
filtoffset =  -881879.45  -881396.98  -880822.61  -880219.19  -879752.22  
-879248.85  -878747.85  -8

Although not a cause of your problem:

precision 2**-6,

is pretty poor. It is basic MSDOS precision. You should expect 2**-10 for an oldish NTP capable Unix based server, and the high teens, in the exponent, for a modern server.
